Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>Hi all,</p>

<p>I'm a high school junior, and I just went on a visit to Northwestern and I want to know my chances to be admitted to the college of Engineering there. Also, how are my EC's? I'm stressing out because I feel that they're really holding me back since they're not good enough.</p>

<p>Academic credentials:
8 APs by graduation
Completion of two PLTW engineering courses
3.5 unweighted GPA, ~4.6 weighted (out of 5.33... my school's weird)
4.0 weighted GPA freshman year, 4.5 sophomore, 5.0 junior
34 on the ACT
90th percentile on the National Spanish Exam
TA as a senior for either APUSH or first year chemistry</p>

<p>Extracurriculars
Co-head of environmental club (joined fall 2012)
Co-head of ultimate frisbee club (joined winter 2013)
JV member of science olympiad (joined January 2014, I'll definitely win some events)
Head of my towns youth organization board (we do fundraisers for a homeless shelter by having monthly concerts, usually raise ~$100 per concert)
A founding member of school engineering club, head of marketing for it
Spent Summers of 2013 and 2014 taking sciencey courses (2013: high honours biology, 2014: Cornell University summer engineering program)
Bassist in a 4-man band since 2014
I play guitar </p>

<p>Thank you so much!</p>

<p>What are your AP scores? Do you have a rank? Regardless I think your ECs and summer activities are p nice… Definitely well-suited towards your intended major, and also demonstrate a degree of commitment to interests despite not being very “large-scale” (not that they need to be). Dunno about your GPA, though. How is it compared to the rest of your class? Also, I’m jealous you got to play in a band…</p>
