<p>I’m considering applying ED to Wash U also. Just not set on the whole ‘binding’ part.</p>

<p>4.0 UW? Very impressive stats.</p>

<p>I have no doubt that you’ll get into most tier 1 schools. What are you interested in majoring in?</p>

5

<p>I’m not entirely positive of my major, but I’m definately intersted in a science major, maybe physics or geophysics. Biology is also a possibility. I’m very undecisive.
However, I would like to minor in Spanish, if I could.</p>

<p>Anyone else’s opinions?</p>

<p>All the schools that you listed are pretty much matches with your stats.</p>
