My daughter is a double bassist in the Chicago Symphony Youth Orchestra with many music awards. She has also played varsity sports. She has a 30 ACT and a 4.1 wieghted GPA with all honors and AP courses. Both her grandparents went to Wash U and her grandfather just set up a scholarship fund for needy students from his hometown. She wants to major in science and minor in music.

It appears her ACT might be low for the school. Would the fact that she is an excellent musician help her get into the school? Or that she has relatives who have atttended the school or given money?
