r/washu

washu is one of my top choices but i’m worried applying test optional might screw me especially bc a lot of people at my school have high sat/act scores. i also can’t apply ed due to financial uncertainty

i won’t know for sure if im submitting a score until october 22nd.

if i get my act score back and it’s not good should i wait, retake, and apply rd?

otherwise, my gpa is slightly above the average and my extracurriculars are good

Hi all,

I'm a freshman and wondering about my schedule for next semester. I'm thinking about taking 14 credits and doing both French 3070 and German 1010. Obviously, I tested into French 3, and my skills are at a point where I could definitely live there quite comfortably. German, I've never taken before. Just wanted to try it out since I got interested in it recently.

I'm wondering if that's sensible or if two language classes is too much. For context, my other classes would be Focused Physics II, Diffeq, and Physics II Lab. Any insights on how much work each of the languages gives? Any differences with different professors? (Any preferred profs?)

Thanks!!

yeah exam grades came out and got cooked. actual test was significantly harder than the practice exam given. does anyone have any tips to do well? didn't think the material in canvas nor pltl was enough. also does anyone know the cutoff for A-/A?
