Senior Year Schedule Help- Too Easy?

I respect you for putting yourself out there your junior year and loading up on that many AP classes. Having taken 6 AP classes in a year myself, I know what you mean by super tough year. The thing is though, there are bound to be many, many students out there who take the same schedule as you did and pulled straight A’s. Since you didn’t do anywhere close to that, you probably shouldn’t have “fun classes” in your schedule at all if you want a shot at a school like WashU, and at least definitely not first semester.

WashU will want to see evidence that you can handle college level work, and, unfortunately, thus far you haven’t really demonstrated that.

So its really up to you. I would say that, barring any ridiculous hooks or connections you have, there is a very very outside chance at you getting into WashU. That means that if you want to get a second look from the Adcoms, you’re probably going to need to load up on AP classes again, and pretty much ace them. Either way you go, best of luck in finding a great college!
