Washington University at St. Louis
I'm thinking about applying to WU, does anyone have any personal opinions, what they've heard, perhaps some friends who have gone there? From the description at PrincetonReview.com, it's supposed to be academically rigorous but party-like on the weekends (which sounds pretty good to me ). The institution is ranked 9th overall (I believe) on US Rankings and has a very prestigious medical school (I'm planning to go premed so I assume that deparment is about on par). They're very good on financial aid, give many merit scholarships each year, etc.
My high school record as of right now is this:
3.86 GPA (unweighted), and our school doesn't calculate class rank
One AP credit from last year (Calculus AP) and almost all honors courses in previous years
EC: JV Tennis, National Honor Society, Spanish Honor Society (Treasurer), Foreign Cultures Club (Treasurer), World Affairs, Student Humanitarian Organization, Debate, BOSS, Science Club, City Youth Council
1480 SAT I, 760 SAT II Math IIC, 720 Writing, (planning to take Bio next month).
Current classes: Chem AP, Bio 2, Spanish 4 AP, Debate, US Gov, Comp Sci AP, and Advanced Composition AP.
Could I get in, and if so, would I want to?

P.S. I was really interested in Washington U. as well - was nominated for the Danforth Scholarship there, but it was just too expensive and far away for me to seriously consider it.
