first off, I cant remember why exactly I decided to apply to WashU(engineering), (I was trying to decide btw. ann arbor). but, I’ve already applied and want to know if I even stand a shot of even getting in, so I know how much effort to devote to merit scholarships, mostly just Rodriguez and Langston fellowship

gpa: 3.67 UW, around 4.1 W
sat: 2180 (710,710,760)
sat 2: math 780, ush 710, physics 680

8 AP’s by graduation

*super super competitive top notch high school( if they even look at the context of my grades)
I already put my activities on common app, but mostly just sports, volunteering, and a couple engineering activities, I guess 1-2 of them would be “semi- unique”

My questions are:


how do I fare of even being admitted into the university as a whole?
im going to apply for Annika’s scholarship just because it has a couple extra essays and no work,


but how competitive am I for the Langston fellowship? idk if a 2180 is considered “97th percentile or above”, but I haven’t been able to find the stats for people who’ve got this fellowship. Im kinda hesitant about asking my teachers for L.O.R’s again, especially after the 10 they had to write for me, but will do if im truly competitive and it will boost my chances.

please help a poor guy out!=)
