Chances at Northwestern

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>Hey I'm a junior at a national ranked high school in upstate New York. I was wondering what you all thought about my chances at Northwestern.</p>

<p>High School: Public
Location: New York
Race/Gender: White/Male
Majors: History and Political Science</p>

<p>GPA unweighted: 91.04 maybe like a 3.7 (a little light but mostly honors and AP's)
Weighted GPA: my school doesn't weight but I think with my classes it would weight to like a 4.0 or 4.1
Class Rank: School Doesn't rank but a guess would be top 10 or 20%</p>

<p>ACT: 33 composite on Dec 2013; 33 English, 30 Math, 34 Reading, 35 Science, 9 Essay
32 composite on Oct 2013; 29 English, 32 Math, 32 Reading, 36 Science, 8 Essay
SAT: 2020 total on Dec 2013; 660 Reading, 710 Math, 650 Writing, 8 Essay
(I'm taking the SAT again and am hoping to get at least a 2100 maybe higher but I am definitely content with my ACT scores)
AP Courses: AP Euro (4) sophomore, AP Chemistry, AP US, AP Economics and AP Art History are junior year
rest of classes are mostly honors except some language classes and my first two years on English which was a lazy mistake
Senior Year Classes: AP Stat, AP Calc AB, AP Gov, English Honors, Spanish 5 (taken it since 6th grade), Physics Honors, Business Law, and Public Speaking</p>

<p>Extra Curriculars:
-Masterminds Club (type of game show style trivia) 4 years
-JV and Varsity Golf (5 years)
-Volunteering and will probably end up with about 150 hours
-I am on the board of our towns Youth Services Board in a voting position and also am responsible for setting up meetings with the other kids that have lesser positions. I will probably highlight this because it sounds good and I enjoy it a lot. (4 years normal member), (2 years leadership position)
-Youth Court (4 years)
-Hockey (12 years NOT for school)
-I am trying to get a History Club at our school to compete in National History Bowls and Bees</p>

<p>Extra: I have legacy here with my Grandfather who did a lot for the school and also a few cousins and I would likely apply early decision.</p>

<p>ACT around average while GPA below average. It should be a very high match to low reach for you.</p>

7

<p>You are competitive. Stats look pretty good and ECs are well rounded. I toured NW a few months ago and you seem like the type of student who attends there (good thing).</p>
