<p>Hi, I know these are getting kinda stale but I'm pretty nervous. I am highly interested in Northwestern and I just want an honest answer. I'm an Indian male, 16, in Chicago, IL.</p>

<p>ACT - 32 Composite 11 Essay, 35 English, 30 Math, 32 Reading, 30 Science
GPA - 3.5 UW, 4.7 W (now it's this, at the end of junior year it was 3.3 UW, 4.4 W)
I went to a highly competitive public high school for three years. It's the number one ranked public high school in my state. I was forced to transfer my senior year because we moved. I only moved about 20 minutes from my old place but I now live in another school district so I go to some random high school.
Have only taken Honors and APs.
APs - US History, European History, Chemistry, English Literature, all 4s
Current schedule - AP Language, AP Psychology, AP Environmental Science, AP Calc AB, PE, and elective</p>

<p>ECs
Tennis team Junior Varsity, JV Captain – 9th to 12th (Captain)
Ping Pong club – 10th and 11th (organized lunch, before school, and after school open games)
Volunteer at ICNA (Islamic Center of North America) – 10th (teacher’s assistant)
Volunteer at Public Library(Northtown Branch) – 10th (summer reading program)
Volunteer at Midwest Asian American Center – 5th to 8th (helped with adult education and citizenship process)

Muslim club Public Relations Director – 10th
AP Scholar</p>

<p>I think that covers it all. I already applied to Northwestern RD. I got an offer to schedule an interview and am going to do so soon. So, I would appreciate any comments and please try to be honest. Also, does anyone know when RD admissions letters come out? Thanks in advance.</p>

<p>Why Northwestern? There are 7 other perfectly good directions.</p>

<p>Of North-northern, Northeastern, East-eastern, Southeastern, South-southern, Southwestern, West-Western, and Northwestern it seems as though you arbitrarily chose a random direction.</p>

<p>We miss you at north-sidern.</p>

<p>I take it that you attended Northside College Prep. The common problem there is everybody’s so competitive with each other it’s hard to rise to the top. By “another school district,” do you mean you no longer qualify for CPS?</p>

<p>Hey Nakib,</p>

<p>I think you should apply for a job at J. Crew. You would be a shoo-in for sure. Maybe you could be a fashion advisor?</p>
