GPA looks good and so does class rank, but the ACT score is a bit low. Can you retake the ACT? How did you do on the 2 AP exams?

I think that you should scale down your ECs. This resume is impressive, but offers the reader too much information. Wash U has tons of pre med biology majors. Is biology going to be your major?
