Chance Me for NU!

<p>Male Junior
Des Plaines (Chicago Suburb), IL
Traditional Public High School
Indian</p>

<p>Grades</p>

<p>Rank 1/595, 4.87 GPA Weighted, 4.0 Cumulative Unweighted Got a 5 on Euro exam from soph year. Expecting a 5 on APUSH and a 4/5 on AP English Language. My other classes are all accelerated and the highest my school will offer students in the grades they are in.</p>

<p>SAT/ACT</p>

<p>SAT: 2200
Writing - 800
Math - 770
Reading - 630
Retaking in March to improve reading and my superscore to hopefully a 2270-2300 range</p>

<p>ACT: 33
English - 34
Math - 35
Reading - 34
Science - 30 (Go kill yourself science!)
Retaking during the state mandated test because I'm required to. If my science goes up, I should have no issue getting at least a 34, maybe a 35. </p>

<p>Extra-Curriculars
Amnesty Intl
Youth in Action
Student Council (Running for Treasurer at the end of the year)
DECA (Should be President by the end of this year)
Paid Tutor for the school
In-School Tutor
I teach a class of about 30 freshmen on communication/life skills.
Junior/Senior Leaders program
70 hours of community service at a pharmacy</p>

<p>Will have very good recommendations, one from my APUSH teacher, who also taught me freshmen year, and my Physics teacher. My counselor has never had an Ivy hopeful student, so I'm sure he'll be trying very hard to help me get in too.</p>

<p>So, what do you guys think? Anything you see lacking that I'm not already trying to reiterate?
(I'm taking Subject Tests in May/June btw)</p>

<p>You are a solid candidate, but on the SATs, that CR score is poor for NU. If you can get it to 700, great; otherwise, just go with the ACT score.</p>
