Colleges and Universities A-Z Northwestern University

<p>My situation is a bit different from you guys'. I am an exchange student who has been in US for 3 years.(I asked the rep face to face about whether I would be read as international student or Kentucky applicant, he said international due to my nationality)</p>

<p>So here is my problem:
I took Oct sat when I was sick and extremely nervous. I got 800 math 620 reading and 650 writing.
I usually scored 2200 on practice tests(practiced all summer). So I decided to take it again on Nov. I was super chilled this time because I knew this would be my last chance and I should not let any other circumstances to affect my performance. So for this time I got 800 math 700 reading and 730 writing..
So now NU has two sets of sat scores. How will NU look at the big jump? And will the Oct. one influence my chance of getting in???</p>

<p>My stats:</p>

<p>2230 sat one sitting (800 700 730)
800 math2 760 physics</p>

<p>9 aps by the end of senior year.(6 ap scores avaliable mostly 5s and two 4s)
gpa:4.0 straight As; 4.4 weighted.</p>

<p>My hook is well-roundness(i am a music guy and will major in engineering, my common app essay is about the subtle connection between show choir and engineering)
i have been involved in several clubs and i am either vice president or president in the club.(I am too lazy to put all the EC on)</p>

<p>...what do you guys think</p>

<p>You have the choice to send whichever SAT score you feel comfortable with. That being said, it is just one of the variables and there are so many other factors that has a bearing on your admission. So just chill and be positive. Good Luck!</p>

<p>@northwesterndad I applied to ED already and I sent both because I had to send my sat scores while waiting for the NOV one… Do I have a good shot for NU?</p>

<p>NU will take the best of both scores, so you will be fine. </p>

<p>I think your scores are pretty decent with 9 APs throughout high school. I only had 4 APs(and we couldn’t even take APs in 9th and 10th grade which sucks). And regarding your ECs, your leadership must be pretty outstanding (VP+president). 4.0 GPA and a score of 2230. You have a pretty high chance of getting in. Good Luck!</p>
