<p>Hi,
I am considering applying to NU in the winter. My current stats are
3.61 GPA (I got a C in a stupid gen ed class but otherwise I'd have a 3.8! had a 4.0 freshman year)
3.5 years of undergraduate essay
first generation college student
3 sick letters of recommendation, one from lab PI
2 Poster Presentations
Hospital Volunteer
Volunteered at local religious organization for many years and helped with youth group amongst other things
I have been working part time on/off for the past 4 years
Won awards for short films in high school (common app asks for ECs from 11th grade onwards)</p>
<p>I also have a special needs sibling and I help out a lot and I put it down under ECs b/c the common app asks for family obligations . Good idea or bad?
Also put down that I do informal religious studies. i don't know if i should have put that down.</p>
<p>HS Stats:
3.0 UW GPA
3.64 Weighted GPA
1890 SAT</p>
<p>Appreciate it!</p>
