I go to a very academically rigorous high school and have a lot of extracurricular activities; however, the first two years of high school I struggled with juggling academics and EC’s. I was also diagnosed with a learning disability at the end of my Freshman year. As a result, my GPA is quite low 3.2 (un weighted). But my transcript shows upward trajectory. In Junior year I got 1 B+ and 5 A’s in first and second semester and in first semester of Senior year I got that same grades only while taking 4 AP classes. What are my chances at Wash U? I’ve also played 4 years of varsity volleyball (and I was captain) and have a good to strong studio art portfolio. My SAT scores are also not high because I have problems with timing–as a result I have 1800. I have a lot of volunteer and work experience under my belt though. I hope to be a communication design major at Wash U.
