<p>Hi,
I've been reading threads at CC for a while, but I thought I'd register to see what the people here have to say about my chances. I'm currently a senior at a public high school in the St. Louis area, and applying to Washington University through Early Decision. What are my chances of getting in?</p>
<p>Extracurriculars: Tennis, National Honor Society, Mu Alpha Theta (math honors society), Beta Chi Pi (science honors society), Quills and Scrolls (English honors society), National History Club, Robotics Club, literary magazine</p>
<p>Leadership: National History Club president, literary magazine editor, National Honor Society executive aide</p>
<p>Out of school activities: Indian cultural association member (50+ hrs of service), Missouri Scholars Academy participant (3 weeks at Mizzou), Students and Teachers as Research Scientists participant (6 weeks at WashU)</p>
<p>I forgot to mention, I also went for an interview - will that significantly help my chances of getting in as well? I also saw some people posting about their course load - I've taken as many AP/honors classes as possible.</p>
<p>I know the recommendations are excellent, and my essay is solid. Any other advice?</p>
<p>I got a student for the interview, it was very laid back and I was able to answer the (rather simple) questions pretty well. </p>
<p>Also, I'd like to know about my chances to get into the University Scholars program. I'm interested in it for the med school. I hear it's pretty hard to get into though.</p>
