Did you apply ED?

Whether if it’s ED or RD, I don’t think you have a good shot for Northwestern because of the following reasons.

Weak UW GPA, judging from your low W GPA. Low SAT II scores. Weak academic curriculums, judging from yoir AP scores.

Your sat score looks good, but so do other half of the applicants.

Bonus:

Michigan University - Admit
U chicago - Reject
Northeastern - Admit
UCLA- reject
UC BERKELEY-reject

I feel fairly strong with my prediction, which is based objectively on the available statistics on the Internet.

Good luck!

I agree with the above poster, but I think you can get into UCLA. For a guage, how many Bs have you received.

5

2nd the how many B’s question, but it is certainly understandable that it may be lower b/c of the rigor of your school. I think the above posters are a little harsh - sure NW is selective but it’s no ivy and that’s certainly reflected by students who can get in. The SAT is solid and that’s more important than SAT IIs will ever be. ECs are fine too. You’re in ED but otherwise should have a fair shot.

yes i did ED to northwestern

and all courses i took were honors classes
and grades had some progress
freshmen- 88
soph-95
junior-95
I am not sure about how many B’s I had…
and my school has like 5 AP courses in total, so I hope that justifies my weak curriculum a little :confused:
