Hi I submitted my app to NU early what do you think my chances are.
I am mainly a B+/A- student at an extremely competitive private high school in NY
my GPA is 3.5 unweighted and 3.54 weighted
My ACT score is 33
I am the secretary of feminism club and the president of Cultural Awareness Club as well as the president of the open-mindedness society at my school. I have interned for a photographer for two years and worked at a summer camp for four years. I also babysit three times a week and volunteered at an english camp in Spain for a month this summer. I have been in a professional childrens chorus since first grade. I also act in 2-3 plays a year and have stage managed productions before. I am going to direct the play this spring. I am also currently working on a short documentary about my family and my parents as a class at my school.
My sister goes to NU and my mom went there.
I am also a Cuban woman.
I am applying into the Radio/Television/Film Major
My essay is probably an 8/10 and my supplement is probably an 8-9/10
I’d say the solid hooks could tip you and if you’re school is as competitive as you say it is, i wouldn’t be surprised if you got in
I definitely think that your experience in RTF related activities are helpful and will help you in admissions. Chance me back?
