Chances at Northwestern? RD

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>Northwestern is my number one choice right now -- it's pretty much my dream school. The reason I'm applying through Regular Decision is because I don't want to be forced to go to NU with a really crappy financial aid package (my parents are only giving me $6,000 a year towards tuition/room and board). I would really appreciate it if someone could tell me my chances of being accepted.. thanks (:</p>

<p>ACT: 32 (will retake in December)
SAT II: MATH II - 760
GPA: 3.88 UW
CLASS RANK: 7/252 (this will go up by the end of the semester)
RACE: white
GENDER: female</p>

<p>Current Schedule (don't know if this helps?):
AP EURO
AP LIT
AP GOV / AP ECON
Journalism
Tumbling (yeah....)
AP CALC AB (unfortunately, my school doesn't offer BC)
I currently have A's in all of them</p>

<p>EXTRACURRICULAR ACTIVIES:
Cross Country - varsity all 4 years, captain junior and senior years
* Have been a state qualifier all 4 years, currently hold my school record
Track - varsity sopohmore, sunior and senior years, captain junior and senior years
* Qualified for state ever year, placed 5th at state in 3200m, 8th in 1600m, I currently hold 6 school records
NHS - junior/senior years, vice president senior year
Academic Team - junior/senior years, captain senior year
Revolution Point - helped start a youth group (called Revolution Point) in my community. We meet every Saturday.
Swimming - junior year (thought it would help me cross train for track). I surprisingly made varsity
Community Service - around 200 hours... nothing impressive, but at least it's something, right?
There's a few other random ECs like German Club, JV Soccer freshman year, Mu Alpha Theta, Relay For Life ect. but they aren't as notable as the ones listed above.</p>

<p>Oh, and my respective major is Economics. </p>

<p>So what do you guys think?</p>

<p>Could someone please chance me? I’d appreciate it.</p>

<p>Your stats are fine for Northwestern, ec’s are decent (are you good enough to run for them/be recruited?)
how are your ap’s?</p>

<p>you should be fine with rd, but i don’t know about fin aid, which seems very important to you
i believe that northwestern requires two sat 2’s, you seem to only have the math2</p>

<p>you commented on mine earlier… and i’d say you are definitely more qualified than me!!</p>

<p>hey my friend was accepted to NU last year with a great aid package! ($30K a year). Your stats are much higher than his. I think you have a great chance:)</p>

<p>@ daem0n - they “recommend” two, but my other one is pretty terrible. And I’ve been thinking about running in college but I’m not sure if I want to go through four more years of track/cross country. It’s very tiring and time consuming. My AP’s aren’t that great… I’ve passed all but one (my physics teacher was TERRIBLE!).</p>
