Here goes-

Washington University is my number 1 choice. I am mostly worried about my scores. I have a 30 ACT and a 1390 SAT. I have an 800 Writing satII, however. I have a 4.0 (unweighted--all A+'s) and I am 4/462. I will have 9 AP's by graduation. As for ec's, they're pretty normal, nothing special--Pres. and founder of club, v.p. of latin club, student gov, mock trial, varsity gymnastics (9-10), club gymnastics (9-10), volunteering (315+hours), etc. I am a legacy because my cousin went there and worked in the admissions office a few years back.

Advice would be greatly appreciated:)

I'm not sure how much of a legacy that is, but I think your chances are hella good. 1390 is still the mid-to-upper end of their SAT range. A+s???? HMm, 4 people have A+s? Sounds like MAJOR grade inflation, but that's ok. Show them that they're your number 1 choice.

no, there really isn't grade inflation. The academics are tough, I attend a very good public school. The people ranked ahead of me are ahead of me because they have taken some college courses, and they are in a very high level of math. I don't think they have all A+'s, but the college courses and stuff works to their benefit.
