<p>I got 3 nice letters of recommendation from teachers that have known me for a while. I think my essays were good, not super creative though =/</p>

<p>I find a flaw with every other school except Northwestern, so if I don't get in here then I'm off to a state school...</p>

<p>I think you’re underestimating yourself. Your stats and your ECs are pretty incredible and you have a good chance of getting to Northwestern. Good luck!</p>

<p>Thanks. That takes off some anxiety…=P</p>

<p>Idk I feel like most of NU’s applicants have similar stats, and their acceptance rate is only 18% =(</p>

<p>True, you can say that, but what stood out to me is that you’re ranked number 1 in your class on top of all your stats.</p>

<p>I’ve been researching Northwestern for a while now (off of CC) and from what I’ve gathered, although they do want all-rounded students, it is important to have a very good academic record and a rigorous schedule, which you do. Your extracurriculars and honors are also impressive.<br>
I would say you’re a very good candidate for admission.</p>
