<p>note that senior year EC’s will only count up until you actually apply. so, especially for early decision choices, dont rely too heavily on ECs in senior year. Also, you should look into SAT Subject tests. I know that Northwestern and Duke really recommend two (or three) SAT subjects. I know that you are using the ACT score, but many people i know who used only an ACT score also had Subjects. You are looking at some really good schools, so Subjects are almost necessary (at some schools, they are required, Duke may be one but not totally sure)</p>

<p>What EC’s do you have planned next year? Also, try to get leadership positions, and try to raise that UW GPA a bit; might be a bit low for NW, Duke, UC Berkeley.
Also, do you have a hook? I can’t make an accurate chance because I dont know too much about your colleges (except maybe Northwestern and Duke)</p>

<p>Best of luck, and check my thread plz. Advice from an incoming senior will be greatly appreciated:</p>
