Chance me for ED Northwestern will chance back

<p>Hello,</p>

<p>Northwestern is my first choice school. I have shown interest (requesting mail since sophomore year, campus visit despite living far away). I know this isn't that important, but I thought I would include it.</p>

<p>GPA: 3.75
Freshman Year: 3.45
Sophomore Year: 3.9
Junior Year: 3.9</p>

<p>*Note: My high school is extremely rigorous (especially during junior year). I have taken a full set of IB/AP courses, and will achieve the IB Diploma after graduating. I know my GPA is relatively low, but I would like to emphasize that obtaining a 3.9 during jr. year at my school is fairly rare. My school is a specialized school which focuses on my intended major of econ.</p>

<p>SAT: 2250
Subject Tests: 750 (Chemistry), 750 (Math)</p>

<p>Essay is very good, reccomendations are very good as well (one is from IB Econ teacher).</p>

<p>Extracurriculars:</p>

<p>DECA- 1st place regional and state champion and 9th in the world as a freshman, state finalist for sophomore and junior year. VP of my school's DECA Chapter (over 100 members).</p>

<p>Model UN- Awards include best delegate, outstanding delegate at large and small conferences including Princeton and Yale. Also chaired a chapter event.</p>

<p>President/Founder of the Current Events Club ( since soph year)</p>

<p>VP/Co- Founder of the Habitat for Humanity Cub (since junior year)</p>

<p>President/Founder of another International Charity Club (since soph year)</p>

<p>President/Founder of the student biking club (since junior year)</p>

<p>President/Founder of Investment Club (since junior year)</p>

<p>Communications officer for a small business consulting club (student run) (since freshman year)</p>

<p>Features Editor for school newspaper (since junior year), Editor for Law Review</p>

<p>Several other awards through FBLA, and Business Professionals of America</p>

<p>National Honors Society, La Sociedad Honoraria Hispanica</p>

<p>Volunteer Hours: over 250+. Steady hours (tutoring, library volunteer), and alot through church Youth Group involvement. I also was awarded the Presidential Award for Volunteer Service. I also am a volunteer student teacher for summer business courses.</p>

<p>I have also won a few writing competitions, and have done original economic research. Also I have won awards at state's business competition. I was also published in Time magazine.</p>

<p>Work Experiences: Part time job during school year, Internship at Merrill Lynch, and at another small marketing firm.
Summer Experience: Internships/volunteer work.</p>

<p>I am very worried about my GPA. I know everything else is passable, but please let me know if I am even a competitive ED applicant.</p>

<p>If not accepted, I want to apply RD to Williams, Georgetown, UVA, WashU, Vanderbilt. Please let me know if I am a fairly competitive applicant at these schools.</p>

<p>Oh and i am applying as an Econ major </p>

<p>Thanks so much ! I will chance back.</p>

<p>Northwestern low reach/high match
Williams reach
Georgetown low reach/high match
UVA high match
WashU match
Vanderbilt reach</p>

<p>you have a great shot at each of these schools but you definitely need more safeties as these are the kind that deny perfect candidates</p>

<p>Since you’ve shown improvement, I think you have a great shot at all of he schools you’re applying to. If your essays show fit then I’d expect you to be admitted to Northwestern, Georgetown, WashU, and Vandy… The others are reach schools for anyone really, especially UVA for OOS. Chance me please @ <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1702628-hey-all-if-you-could-chance-me-ill-chance-you-back.html#latest”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1702628-hey-all-if-you-could-chance-me-ill-chance-you-back.html#latest&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>Your improvement is great, and you have a shot at every school. As long as your essays match the philosophy and culture of the more selective schools you have a strong shot of begin accepted. I’d encourage you to apply to a few safety schools, because anything can happen. Good luck to you! </p>
