Chance/Advice Please!

<p>I just visited NU and I absolutely loved it! It's my first choice and I may apply ED. I'm a rising senior and I'm going to apply to Weinberg.</p>

<p>GPA: 3.9 (UW) but my school counts an A- as 4 points. If I count my A-s as 3.7 and take out "fluff" courses, my GPA would be around 3.85.</p>

<p>My course load isn't crazy, but it's pretty rigorous.</p>

<p>ACT: 32 composite (30 E 33 M 32 R 34 S) </p>

<p>SAT II: 790 Math II, 720 Chem</p>

<p>AP tests: Gov (5), Chem (3)</p>

<p>Extra Curriculars</p>

<p>-About ten years of piano and three years of guitar (self-taught), but I haven't played competitively in either one.
-BBYO (youth group) all throughout high school.
I was the newspaper editor in my chapter and I made a video for a statewide competition in the organization. We won first place in both newspaper and video.
-Robotics team for two years.
-I got about 30 volunteer hours working for a two-week Lego Robotics camp as a counselor during the summer.
-"Summer in the City" for a year. It's a community service organization for the bettering of Detroit and I got about 45 volunteer hours working with them that summer.
-Quizbowl
-I have a job during the school year at my synagogue as a Hebrew school assistant once a week.
-I have a job as a dishwasher</p>

<p>Also, I'm Hispanic and have been recognized by the National Hispanic Recognition Program.
I also am a National Merit Commended student.</p>

<p>I'd really appreciate any advice on admissions and where I stand as of now. Thanks!</p>

<p>With an unweighted GPA of 3.85, a 32 ACT, your SAT II scores, your ECs and being a URM, i think you are a very solid candidate. If you apply ED, i would say the odds favor admission.
Good luck!</p>

<p>NU is a good match for you. As with anyone, it comes down to a numbers game.</p>

<p>Ok, thanks for the feedback!</p>
