<p>Hi, I'm an Asian male (Junior in High School) really considering applying to Northwestern for engineering. I don't know whether I should I apply ED or RD. Based on my stats, it would be really great if you guys gave me a percentage chance of getting in to Northwestern for Engineering. I know their engineering program is slightly easier to get into compared to the rest of their schools.</p>

<p>For the sake of argument, let's say that my letters of recommendation and essays are above - average, but nothing special.</p>

<p>Alright here goes :D.</p>

<p>Northwestern University LEGACY!</p>

<p>I think I will be getting a lot of financial, but NU is need based.</p>

<p>I'm taking a Math II soon, as well as an ACT. What else do you guys think I need to do to improve my chances both ED and RD.</p>

<p>Thank you guys so much.</p>

<p>NWU engineering: High match</p>

<p>Regular Decision or Early Decision. Anything I can do to improve? Thank you so much!!</p>

4

<p>ED is binding, but can improve your chances a good bit. If you truly love the school go for it, other wise you should apply RD. Take Math II, it will look good if you score well since you are applying for engineering…</p>

<p>@ArtsuGirl13 I really love everything about the school and from what I’ve heard about the campus, housing, etc. ; I’m 90% sure it’s where I want to be. But it’s a little to early to be 100% positive. So then, what do you think my chance are ED? I appreciate you taking the time.</p>

6

<p>any other inputs? Will chance back. :D</p>

<p>Early desicion is your best bet, you seem to have a high interest in going to this school and 90% is a very high satisfaction rating for your personal preference. Your SAT an GPA are great
being a legacy helps and your extra curriculars are great.
Chance me,
GPA: 3.72 W (4.6667 scale, 4.6667 being A+ and 4.3333 being A)
ACT:25
Strong extracurriculars considering I will apply to the business schools at the following:
Purdue
Penn state: university park (smeal)
Wisconsin- Madison
UCONN
James Madison
PITT</p>

<p>Just a quick suggestion, it sounds like you have not visited the campus yet. Visit before you apply ED, if you still love the school go for it!</p>

<p>NWU engineering is a high match if you apply ED…</p>
