<p>Do you think I have a chance to be accepted to this school, if you believe I can get accepted and that there is a high possibility, what do you I will get in regards to financial aid/scholarships (Parents combine to make less then 80,000 dollars a year)</p>

<p>Well, Northwestern is extremely selective, like the Ivies, so no one is a shoo in. However, I still think you have a very good chance. You have a recommendation from the PM of Israel? Mazel Tov!</p>

<p>Your upward trend is impressive. Does your GPA include academic and elective classes, or academic only?</p>

<p>i take latin and italian two languages isntead of taking one language and an elective</p>

<p>Did you copy and paste this in the forum for every school you are applying to? NW doesn't have a business program, but they have a business institutions minor and a kellogg certificate program that you apply to once you get in.</p>

<p>What AP classes will you be taking?</p>
