<p>Sorry guys, I realize that there are so many on here, but I would really appreciate your opinion.
I’m from a pretty decent high school in Northwest Arkansas
My academic stats are good:
AP US History - 4<br>
AP Psychology - 4<br>
AP Lang. and Composition - 4
AP European History - 3<br>
AP Environmental Science -<br>
AP Government -<br>
AP Literature & Compostion -
AP Calculus AB -
AP Chemistry -<br>
ACT: 36 GPA: 4.18/ 4.0 (UW)
I haven’t taken ACT with writing or SAT II subject tests (I know that Wash U doesn’t require them, but I didn’t know if you were given an advantage for them.)<br>
My ECS, however, are fairly scattered and I don’t really have anything super special (at least compared to most of the people I know)
• Part of Television program at Fayetteville High School (10th, 11th, and 12th)
∙ Each member must shoot and edit a news package each month for the show.
∙ Anchor for monthly magazine show, “Breaking the Leash.”
∙ Elected Secretary of FHS Video Club – organization is responsible for shooting and organizing the Senior DVD.
• Attended nationwide video conference (Student Television Network) in Anaheim, CA – January 2008. FHS won second place for “Sweet 16” on-site video competition (11th).<br>
• Member of Junior Statesmen of America (11th, 12th.)
∙ Elected as Public Affairs officer (12th)(responsible for publicizing any events that the club is in charge of.)

• Attend a non-denominational youth group each Tuesday

• Sales position at Play It Again Sports (08/2007 – Present) (10 hours a week and my parents own it.)</p>
<p>I’m pretty confident with my academic stats, but my ECs and my essay worry me. My writing is okay, but certainly nothing special. I know that Washington University is very selective and base their decisions on the applicant as a whole, rather than just his or her test scores.</p>
<p>If anyone could assess me, that would be great. Sorry about the long post.</p>
<p>Also, can anyone comment on how scholarships and financial aid is there? I love the school but $50,000?</p>
