<p>Just wondering what those of you out there think about my chances :)
I'm a high school junior.</p>

<p>White / Male / Out-of-state to all, probably not applying for financial aid</p>

<p>GPA: 3.92 (W), 3.73 (UW)</p>

<p>Rank: School doesn't rank, but at least top 15%</p>

<p>SAT: 720 CR, 700 M, 680 W (2100)</p>

<p>ACT: Haven't received my results yet</p>

<p>SAT II: 720 Lit, 650 math 1, 640 US history (second two i probably wont submit)</p>

<p>APs: Jr. year - AP Lang, AP US H, Accel Latin (6th year course)
Sr. year - AP Lit, AP World H, AP Latin, AP Stats</p>

<p>Other senior year courses: Honors calc, honors physics, high-level band</p>

<p>Co-curriculars: Heavily invested in music and theater
In NHS, swim team, acapella, pep band, taking clarinet lessons, taking piano lessons, teaching clarinet lessons, tutoring, AFS</p>

<p>Honors / leadership:
Programs chair for Drama Club (9-10)
Secretary of Drama Club (10-12)
Officer for band (10-12)
NHS Secretary (11-12)
WordWright Challenge Champion (10)
School awards in band and english
International thespian society
Music awards / theater awards
Honor / high honor roll
Playing in Carnegie Hall / Strathmore Hall</p>

<p>Recs:</p>

<p>They'll be good, but not ground-breaking. From my English and Latin teachers who I have great relationships with and are classes I succeed in. Also getting one from my Drama Advisor that should be my strongest one, he knows me very well and thinks highly of me. Good relationship with my counselor.</p>

<p>Essay:</p>

<p>Probably my strong point, to be honest. My GPA isn't anything special, and I don't have any one detail on my app that will jump out instantly, but my essays should be pretty great. Writing and creativity are my strong suits.</p>

<p>Well if you aren’t applying for any financial aid, I would recommend choosing the school you see yourself striving for, and apply Early Decision.
I know Northwestern has a nearly 50% acceptance rate of their freshmen class of only ED kids. To be honest, I feel like you have a solid chance to get in there as ED. </p>

<p>working123 I’m a bit worried that your comment might mislead/confuse the OP, so I’m making this post just for clarification.</p>

<p>~50% of Northwestern’s incoming freshman class this year is composed of accepted ED students. However, Northwestern’s acceptance rate for students who applied ED this year was definitely NOT as high as 50%–more like around 30%, I believe.</p>

<p>Still, your chances of getting into Northwestern will be a significantly higher if you apply ED, of course. </p>

<p>Uconn is a low match not a reach lol.</p>
