I would categorize WashU as a high reach with a 3.6 GPA and a number of AP test scores of 3 (did you report those?).

Have you applied to less selective US colleges, or have safeties in your home country/EU?

What did they email you? I’ve done lots of virtual events, and I really want them to know it’s my #1 but I wasn’t able to apply ED for financial reasons </3
