<p>Northwestern University is my DREAM school. And when I say DREAM, I don't just mean it's the ideal school I'd like to get into. Since I was a little kid I've wanted to go to Northwestern. I've been to the campus 3 times in my life. Once when I was 4, 8 and 13. I'm now 15 years old and a freshman in Highschool, I have a GPA of 3.2 [I do understand they will overlook me with this GPA, I'm working on bringing it up to a 3.7] and I speak 3 languages, English, Arabic and French.</p>
<p>I don't take any challenging classes unfortunately this year because I transferred from a school with a completely different system and it took me a while to get a hang of the American system. I haven't accomplished much yet since I'm still a freshman and we're only 3 months into the year, but I'm writing this so I can hopefully get some good advice to help me throughout this year, my sophomore year, junior and senior year.</p>
<p>My hobbies (so far) include:
Swimming, Tennis, Badminton, Photography and Painting.</p>
<p>Now, my questions are:</p>
<p>1) What does Northwestern like to see on your application?
2) The minimum GPA and SAT score they consider "good".
3) I am an American citizen, but I do not live there. Would I still be considered an International applicant?
4) If four years from now I get called in to do an interview or something, what would they like to see [based on your personal experience]
5) I want to major in either English or Political Science. Because after I do my 4 years I want to move onto Law school somewhere else. [not sure where yet] Would these be good majors that will help me whilst coming across anything in Law?
(I am currently in the top 10% in English in 9th grade - I do well when it comes to writing and analyzing)</p>
<p>My uncle graduated from Northwestern University, but I don't know him THAAAAT well to really ask him anything, and he doesn't live where I do. </p>
<p>and feel free to mention anything you think would be helpful, I would prefer that former/current NU students answered as I am trying to see what kind of things they like to hear/read on apps etc. </p>
<p>I thought this might be fun to put in, but here's my Northwestern shirt from when I was 3 :
