Colleges and Universities A-Z Northwestern University

<p>Just Kidding, but I got ur attention. Can you guys chance me for NU??</p>

<p>GPA: 3.784 UW, 4.430 W (I have taken a very rigorous course load -- as indicated by my weighted GPA -- I have actually gotten 4 B's over my high school career, compared to 17 A's)</p>

<p>SAT: 730 M 740 CR 640W (Essay: 11)</p>

<p>SAT II:
Math IIC: 720
Chemistry: 710
*I go to an extremely competitive school
*we do not rank because of overly-competitive atmosphere</p>

<p>AP Scores
Chemistry 5
US History 4</p>

<p>EC
Freshman Summer-- Took classes at local community college
Sophomore Summer -- UPenn PreCollege Program
Junior Summer -- took a class at my state university/ Shadowed General Internist Hospital Specialist at Brigham and Womens Hospital (Harvard Med Teaching Affiliate )</p>

<p>***Also I am researching with a professor at Rutgers. We are trying to find a correlation between cortical asymmetry (depression) and hypertension/heart disease using a electroencephalogram and a pulse/blood pressure monitor. I think this is pretty unique</p>

<p>Model UN (10,11,12)
--Have attended numerous national conferences in Model UN and have won several Individual (national) Awards -- As many of you MUNers know, winning at large conferences is no easy feat
--My school's MUN team is the best MUN team in the state
-- Placed first several times at my High School's 'mock' model united nations conferences.</p>

<p>-I was lucky enough to receive a New Jersey Legislature Citation of Praise and Commendation for my Community Service</p>

<p>-I shadow General Internists every weekend at the Best Hospital in New Jersey (It's surprisingly difficult to get a team of doctors to let a high schoolers tag along with them on rounds)</p>

<p>200+ hours of volunteering at Nursing Home
National Math Honors Society (11,12)
National Spanish Honors Society (11,12)
JV Lacrosse (9,10)</p>

<p>My sister is also at Northwestern</p>

<p>You're a fine candidate with a good shot</p>

3

<p>thanks for the encouragement! I got deferred from UChicago, but I feel that Northwestern is becoming more and more for me (maybe it b/c my sis has been advocating it so much!)</p>

4

<p>for pre-med northwestern >>> uchicago anyway</p>

5

<p>definitely -- although I am not applying to HPME (wayy too difficult) </p>

<p>anyone else?</p>

6

<p>btw, just to quantify the academic rigor of my courseload:</p>

<p>APs:

2. AP US History (4)
3. AP Calculus AB
4. AP American Government
5. AP Comparative Government
6. AP Language and Composition

<p>if you dont get in the world will implode</p>

8

<p>haha -- then I guess in order to save mankind, Northwestern must accept me (if only..)</p>

<p>anyone else?</p>

9

<p>the infamous "bump"</p>

<p>any comments/advice would be very appreciated :)</p>

<p>also, does it help if my sister goes to Northwestern too?</p>

10

<p>Does she do well? If so, and you mention her as a reason for "Why NU" then yes.</p>

11

<p>thanks arbiter! care to comment on my overall chances too (this applies to everyone lol).</p>

<p>The Individual</p>

12

<p>Sure, why wouldn't they.</p>

13

<p>I don't understand your last post arbiter. Either way -- I know how often I casually skim over 'chance' threads w/o responding, is my thread one of those too? Chance me! :)</p>

<p>The Individual</p>

14

<p>Append "admit you" to the end of my last post.</p>

15

<p>Yes, that makes more sense -- thanks for the appendage. Anyone else care to venture a guess, or have I exhausted all willing to chance?</p>

<p>Thanks in Advance,</p>

<p>El Individual</p>

<p>my god -- 470+ views, I feel so special :) </p>

<p>Although it would hurt for the people who are glancing over my thread to comment on my chances as well (you know who you are... :) )</p>
