<p>Hey I was wondering if this looks like what WashU is looking for at all for music/creative writing majors:</p>

<p>GPA: 4.19 weighted (going to rise)
3.88 unweighted (same)
Rank: 32/317 (getting better…it’s in the 20’s now)
SAT: (they’re not fair)…writing 610, crit reading 520, math 550.
ACT: June 10th, not taken yet.
9th grade i took almost all honors (I have 3 B’s on my transcript), 10th grade i took 2 honors, this year (11) i took 1 ap and 4 honors and have all A’s (one b+). From 10th grade on, I have all A’s on the transcript. Next year, I am taking 4 AP’s (2 AP and 2 ap weighted honors) and 1 actual honors honors.</p>

<p>Extracurriculars: People to people student ambassador program, national youth leadership conference (possibly–next summer), glsen (helps teach others about diversity), junior mendelssohn choir, voice lessons, piano lessons, cantoring for my rabbi, jazz choir, chamber choir (most elite), and many others that I can’t think of. </p>

<p>Thanks!!</p>

<p>I’d say take the SAT’s again and show a lot of interest. I’m not sure what kind of AP’s your school offers, but consider taking more “regular” ones.</p>

<p>Good luck</p>

<p>Your rank is good…you’re in the top 10% of your class.
You’ve really, really gotta raise those SATs. 500-ranges are really not acceptable unless you’ve got amazing, extraordinary grades or extracurriculars to make up for them, or some excuse. </p>

<p>Just note that when you’re applying, they don’t really look at your major intentions. I applied to and was accepted to both the arts/sciences college and the art school, and I never even sent in a portfolio. You just check a box… so you don’t need especially heavy music credentials for the music school, though I’m not certain about that. </p>

<p>…just raise those SATs!</p>
