** I posted the following over at What are my chances? and wanted to see what the WUSTL crowd thought, too. Thanks! **

Hi! I’m wondering how my chances would be for WUSTL and specifically, if you think I would get admitted, if I could get a good merit scholarship. I’m planning on majoring in Communication Design in the Sam Fox School, and might minor in Writing and/or Philosophy in the A&S School.

STATS:

Rank: 2/~240

GPA: 4.0 UW, don’t know W

SAT: 2210/1440 (CR:690, M:740, W:780, E:8)

ACT: taking in June

PSAT: 234 (should be NM)

COURSES:

I am in the full IB Diploma Program.

Junior classes are: Online Economics/IB Theory of Knowledge 1, IB English 3, Pre-Diploma French 3, IB Art 1, IB Math 2, IB History of the Americas 1, IB Physics 1, Principles of Human Services (a filler home ec type class that is due to scheduling trouble)

Senior classes should be: IB Theory of Knowledge 2/aide (each is 1 semester; aide may change), IB English 4, IB French 4, IB Art 2, IB History of the Americas 2, IB Physics 2, an unknown math credit (probably AP Calc), an unknown elective (I’d like Yearbook, but scheduling probably won’t allow it)

I have taken AP Human Geography (4) and AP World History (2), both self-studied (the Pre-diploma curriculum was deemed somewhat similar to AP so it was recommended that I could take). This year I’m taking AP Eng Lit and retaking AP World History, in addition to my IB Math test.

This is either ridiculously long or I’m forgetting something … let me know if I need to elaborate on anything, I haven’t done many of these before! Thanks so much!
