<p>Seems like you have a pretty interesting background. They may get a little angsty about some of your test scores (APs, particularly), but at least you have a valid excuse with your family moving and all. Make sure your essay is REALLY strong. Also, how many people are applying to WashU from your high school?</p>

<p>Definitely pump up your extracurriculars…what are you doing this year?</p>

<p>(I’m a debater too :slight_smile: What type of debate do/did you do?)</p>

<p>You might otherwise be a so-so candidate but your ethnicity and geography should push you up a notch and make you pretty competitive.
Good luck.</p>
