<p>I'm a junior in high school. Hispanic, economically disadvantaged, first generation high school graduate and college student (hopefully). I want to go to Northwestern University's McCormick Engineering School and plan to apply to others.</p>
<p>I worry because I don't how I'll do. I want to go into computer science, but that's a difficult major and very competitive and I have no engineering experience, even though it's offered at my school. (Engineering is offered, but not computer science). </p>
<p>My stats:</p>
<p>4.2 GPA (crappy, I know, but I plan to raise it)
173 on the PSAT (I'll take the SAT in April and I've been studying)

EC's:

<p>I hope this is good. I saw that another girl posted a post like this and people accused her of bragging. I'm not bragging, I just want to hear some feedback from other people who probably know more than me, to prepare for the best and the worst. Thank you very much.</p>
