<p>Volunteer work - I offer unpaid after-school tutoring services to students in my school, and have aided the Friends of the Library in fundraising for a new library the past four years.</p>
<p>Classes - I took the most rigorous coursework that my school offered, but we are such a small school (around 200 students 7-12) that we don’t offer AP or Honors courses. I have a GPA of 97.459/100.</p>
<p>I was a National Merit Commended Scholar, as well as a University of Nebraska-Lincoln Distinguished Scholar and numerous other local leadership awards. </p>
<p>I visited campus and interviewed - I am pretty sure they could tell how enthusiastic I was about the school. Which was/is VERY. </p>
<p>–Some Questions–
-Are my low-range Math and Science scores going to keep me out of Wash-U or will my solid English and Reading help offset that a little?</p>
<p>-Will my lack of a big research project and community service opportunities hurt my application significantly? </p>
<p>-Will the fact that I’m from Nebraska (a poorly-represented state at Wash-U, from what I’ve heard) help?</p>
