<p>I am a junior looking at attending one of the various summer college programs around the country but I have absolutely no idea as to the selectivity of these programs. The parent institutions are fairly intimidating in terms of admissions. As the thread title suggests, I’m most interested in WUSTL and UPenn.</p>
<p>2120 SAT (1st take) - 700CR, 700M, 720 WR (67(ouch!)/12))
215 PSAT - 74CR, 76M, 65WR (missed more than half of the test time because of vomiting/nausea)
UWGPA - 3.85, WGPA - 4.9
3 APs Junior year, 1 AP Freshman year (World History - A/5)
13 honors level classes
(I will be taking 5-7 APs next year, this year only 3 because I cleared out graduation reqs like gym and took 2 years of language.)</p>
<p>All of my Bs are in math/science classes and I am most interested in law/sociology/rhetoric/public administration.</p>
<p>I really think I can make my essays fantastic (lowest essay grade in AP English so far is a 99, class average is an 83) and my recs should be solid.</p>
<p>My ec’s are a little lacking because of health reasons, but…

<p>Hey! I’m from St. Louis and want to do the Wash U summer program to. (I’m assuming you’re talking about Wash U Summer Scholars that allows you to take 7 units and get college credit.) According to the website:</p>
<p>“We generally accept about 90% of students who apply. For some perspective on this, remember that we publish admission guidelines in the form of expected GPA and test scores. Therefore, the majority of students who apply meet our requirements, and students who would not be competitive tend not to apply.”</p>
<p>" Eligibility:</p>
<pre><code>* Applicants must be at least 16 years of age at the time of application, and be a current high school junior.
- Applicants should have an academic average of B+ or better.
- Applicants should have a combined SAT score of at least 1800 (includes Critical Reading, Math, and Writing), a combined PSAT score of 180, or an ACT or PLAN composite score of at least 25.
- International applicants should have at least a 213 TOEFL score.
- Personal information and letters of recommendation from teachers or counselors must be submitted.
- As an applicant, you should be dedicated and willing to meet the challenges of the program."

<p>Obviously, you’re way above what they’re looking for and I think they accept any qualified person (first come, first serve, rolling admissions.) With that being sai, I hope to see you there! (That is, if I get enough financial aid. $5,365 is way too much!)</p>
