Agree with all above. I would also focus on getting standardized testing as high as possible to offset gpa. Your low psat score I assume is based on new sat so 1290 would mean 600 + on sections which is good not great but with studying could be great. Agree you should take a practice act you could do this free online and compare with psat score to see if act is more your test and than focus on studying for either the sat or act. If you can’t afford test prep spend 30 dollars and get the prep book by the college board or act makers and self study . Your gpa is not as bad as you report it sounds like b+ average also you downplay extracurricars but nhd and orchestra are good I hope you are continuing them. Finally and this is important don’t just fall in love with one school . Wash u is great but other great schools too if you don’t get into wash univ. Never good to put eggs in one basket.
