I know my GPA and Test Scores aren't great, making this school a reach for me. Also, does WUSTL take your best subscores on the ACT because I will then have a 31. What are my chances? Thanks.

I also am not sure what my major will be. I am interested in pre-medicine but will probably major in Biology, Economics, or possibly Spanish.

You have similar information to me, except I have a better GPA, but not very good ECs. I don't know about your chance, but I would like to hear the answer because I am in a very similar situation. I'm going to apply early decision to try to boost my chances.
