Chance me for Northwestern?

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>Gpa is 3.8 or 3.9 unweighted. 4.0 weighted. I wont have AP classes other than calculus. I go to a small Lutheran school so my options are limited. I have as rigorous a schedule as I can. I scored a 35 on my ACT. Ive played varsity football since my sophomore year, and will most likely be a captain next year. I was on our FIRST robotics team this year. Im in NHS and will run for president of my schools chapter next year. I've been involved in student council 2 years and will run for student body president. I will graduate in the top 10% of my class. I was also selected to participate in badger boys state. I also work 20 hours a week if that matters. What are my chances at northwestern? Sorry for awful formatting and disorganization, I'm on my phone.</p>

<p>NWU: Reach</p>

3

<p>It should be a high match to low reach. The admission rate this year is 12.9%. Your chance would be higher than the admission rate.</p>

4

<p>What are some things I can do to improve my chances? I dont have the opportunities because of the school I go to that a lot of people do.</p>

5

<p>Demonstrate your interest and write great essay.</p>

<p>Bump. Just toured and I’ve decided I will apply early decision to Northwestern.</p>

7

<p>Also, I won’t be taking the 100% most rigorous course load available at my school, but that’s due to scheduling conflicts.</p>

<p>Bump.</p>

<p>Did you check their NPC? Make sure it is affordable before applying ED.</p>

10

<p>Yes, NU meets 100% of financial need and says they won’t let students graduate more than 24k on debt.</p>

11

<p>It does meet needs, but it still put ~$10k in loan and work study for my D on top of my EFC. With the loan amount, it will be at near $27k debt for 4 years for my D.</p>

12

<p>low reach, likely, but not a guarantee! Applying ED should help significantly</p>

13

<p>I think ED is a good move. My daughter’s friend was wait listed with a 31 ACT and 4.0 unweighted grade pt.</p>

<p>Bump</p>

<p>High match ED. Great resume, president of NHS, 1st in Robotics, and captain of Football to go along with a 35 ACT.</p>
