I am an athlete that didn’t do so well in the recruiting process. I dedicated most of my high school career trying to find a good academic school that would “help me out” in the admissions office because of my sport. However, the only schools that are interested in me aren’t very good academic schools, but good soccer schools, which is something I am not interested in. I am considering applying to WashU without the help of my sport early decision.
Therefore, my extra curriculars are fairly weak, but my stats aren’t horrible. What are my chances of getting into WashU Early Decision?
I attend Colorado Academy, the most rigorous private high school in my state. I am a Junior. I maintained a 4.05 GPA throughout freshman and sophomore year (we could only take 1 AP as a sophomore and we do not do unweighted GPAs). This year, my Junior year GPA should be around a 4.25-4.3.
My SAT is a 1450 (700 english, 750 math)
AP’s so far:
AP Computer Science A (4)
AP Calculus AB (haven’t taken test, should get a 4 or 5)
AP Human Geography
Advanced Java Data Structures (class offered after AP CompSci my school created, is a weighted grade and is extremely rigorous)
Next Year’s APs:
AP Physics
AP Calculus BC
AP Macroeconomics
AP Statistics
EC’s:
-Soccer (3 hours per day, 6 says per week) (nationally ranked team-- most of my teammates are going on to top D1 programs)
-I do programming on my own for about 30 minutes per day
-I went to the occasional American Computer Science League Meeting freshman year
-I attended Girls Who Code sophomore year
-I won the state-level National Center for Women in Technology (NCWIT) award for aspirations in computing
-I think I will win again this year, not sure
-I go to lots of conferences for Women in Technology
-maybe do an internship this summer?
What are my chances ED WashU?
