Mom working at WashU for 17+ years (only a research technician though)

Intended Major(s)

Unweighted HS GPA: 4.0/4.0

Weighted HS GPA: School doesn’t weight GPA, but probably 4.6

Class Rank: School doesn’t rank students

ACT/SAT Scores: 1580

Coursework

8 total APs, 4 on APWH exam (only one I’ve taken so far)

highest math lvl AP Calc BC

I’m in a Business Management class which manages my school store and next year will take CAPS Entrepreneurship where I will probably get finance internships

reached Spanish 4 in 10th grade and quit

Now for my weakest points…
Awards

4th place DECA Missouri state competition

will probably get AP Scholar with Honor

Extracurriculars

Will hopefully do finance internship(s?) next year because of CAPS

Math Honors Society

Spanish Honors Society - 2 yrs

member of animal rights club & volunteering at animal shelter; I will try to get a leadership position my senior yr

Loved tennis but only did it 9th & 11th grade, can’t afford it

Applied to WashU’s BOLD@Olin summer program, probably not going to get accepted

Will try to start a National Business Honor Society chapter at my school my senior year

Essays/LORs/Other

LORs: Probably not very strong because I’m very closed off and haven’t formed any close relationships with my teachers/counselor

Essays: Definitely not the best because my writing skills are mediocre and I’m not very creative

Cost Constraints / Budget

None because if I get in WashU they will pay for my tuition because of my mom’s employee benefits

I will apply ED1 to WashU and that’s pretty much the only school I really care about. Do I have any likelihood of being admitted?
