<p>Hello,</p>
<p>I want to apply to Northwestern ED. If denied, I want to apply to BC Vanderbilt Williams Georgetown and a few safeties. Here are my stats:</p>
<p>GPA:
Freshman Year: 3.45
Sophomore Year: 3.9
Junior Year 3.9</p>
<p>Cumulative is around a 3.75</p>
<p>*Note: I go to an extremely selective high school that is specialized for economics/business, which is my intended major (Economics). My freshman year is what's worrying me the most. My 10th and 11th grades were pretty good for my very competitive school. How much impact will freshman year carry?</p>
<p>Oh yeah and i also took a full load of IB/AP courses junior and senior year and will graduate with the IB Diploma. </p>
<p>SAT: 2250, with subject tests all above 725</p>

<p>I know my scores and ECs are okay, but i know that GPA is the most important thing, and my freshman GPA is holding me back alot. </p>
