<p>My daughter is a Senior in High School and is just starting to nail down her schools to apply to. One of her selections is Northwestern. This may be a bit of a reach for her. What do you think?

<p>UW gpa? That’s a good question. I just checked her account. Weighted gpa is 4.4 but it doesn’t show unweighted. Will need to find this out. Thank you for your response!</p>

<p>Just do a simple calculation on uwGPA using As=4, Bs=3, etc. Aim for 3.85+ in GPA and 2200+/33+ in SAT/ACT to have a better chance at NU.</p>
