Chance me at Notre Dame, UChicago, Northwestern, and UMich?

<p>If I can get chances/advice on what to include and not include in the common app portion that would be awesome.</p>

<p>Stats:
SAT: Didn't take
SAT II: Haven't taken any. Should I?
ACT: 33 (33E,33M,33R,32S) I got a 34E and 34R with an 11 on the essay, but I got a composite of 32 so I don't think I should send that. Not sure though.
GPA: 4.09W,4.0UW (We only get weight for AP classes, not honors. We have 7 classes and summer classes also count, which "dilutes" the weighted I guess.)
Rank: School doesn't rank anymore, so I asked my counselor if she could include my rank somewhere in my letter. Pretty sure I'm #1.
Other Tests (AMC, AP, IB): 4 on AP US, 5 on AP Eng Language. Will be taking AP Spanish, Chem, Eng Lit, and Calc this year.</p>

<p>Also dual enrolled at community college for American Government
Subjective
Essays: Going to work really hard on them.
Teacher Recs: Have a few good teachers in mind, so hopefully they will be good!
Counselor Rec: Hoping for a good one as well, I think it will be because I go to a school where Top 25 school acceptances are basically unheard of.
Supplementary Material: I might send an art portfolio, not sure here because I am not intending to major in art, but it's a big EC for me.
Personal
Location: Michigan
High School Type: Public, approx 1700 students, about 350 in my class

Gender: Female

Extracurriculars:
-Playing Viola. I'm in the top orchestra at our school and it's my biggest EC. I'm the section leader, and was last year also.</p>

<p>-Sinfonia. After school combo of band and orchestra. 4 years. We meet weekly for rehearsal, and also have sections some weeks.</p>

<p>-Pit for musicals. I volunteer at a local highschool with no band/orchestra program to play pit for their musical. I've done it for 4 years.</p>

<p>-Viola Lessons. I take private lessons for viola, have for a while now.</p>

<p>-Drawing Commissions- I take commissions online for digital artwork, usually of peoples pets and things like that. It's a job, but I guess I'm not sure how to verify it because I don't take many art classes because my schedule is full. Any advice would be appreciated.</p>

<p>-NHS. We don't have leadership positions.</p>

<p>-SLS, Students Leading Students Club: Promotes safety in the school, no drugs, texting and driving, etc. Only have 2 years for this.</p>

<p>-Interact Club. 2 years. Oriented towards volunteering within the community. We go to food banks to volunteer.</p>

<p>-Tutoring. This could probably be lumped in with NHS, but I tutored a lot last year for science and math, and will be again this year.</p>

<p>Not sure if I can add this, but I love reading. I've probably read over 200 books in the past 2 years, and 300 if you count all of highschool. Doubt that counts as an EC, though.</p>

<p>Awards:
-1 rating (highest) in State Solo Ensemble for my string quartet and a chamber ensemble, 2 in a few another quartet/ensembles
-Rensselaer Medalist (Awarded to the top math/science student in the 11th grade).
-Geophysical Science Student of the Year (9th)
-Honors Bio Student of the Year (10th)
-Spanish 4 Student of the Year (11th).</p>

<p>I'm not 100% sure what I want to do yet major-wise, but it will be something with science or math.</p>

<p>Basically any tips would be appreciated because I really want to get in. Thanks so much!</p>

<p>I can also chance back, esp for places in the Midwest/some east as I have researched them most</p>

<p>Bumping this up</p>

<p>So you are leaning towards Science/Math (LSA) but not Engineering?
You should be an easy match for UMich as in state student. Northwestern would be a low reach due to their low admission rate. You may mention you enjoy reading in essays. I don’t see it would be an EC. Both my Ds love reading too while the younger one is even much crazier. She is trying to finish reading 60 books this month (which she has done before).</p>

<p>Yeah I think so!</p>

<p>Thank you :)</p>

<p>Any other input?</p>
