<p>Is there a shot? Will the ACT score hurt her? Someone told me today they look for "geographic diversity." That can't mean they're looking for Northeasterners, can it?</p>
<p>Your D has FABULOUS stats-a pat on your back, too Mom! It represents a lot of hard work.
This years applicants had a rough go---especially the female applicants. There was an exceptionally large number applying this year.I think she has a good shot-would be an asset to the university--but may still not get in. There are so many variables, I have not figured out what clinched it for my D. She was 4.0 UW--7 APs/9 honors received 5s on her AP during Jr. year-awaiting Sr.AP report--2260 SAT--Ranked#1 in her class-lots of strong ECs-and she was initially WAITLISTED at Northwestern-well, you get my drift...a crap shoot so to speak. If she feels Northwestern is a match-why not apply? My D--and now THRILLED to be in the class of 2011.</p>
<p>Not to diminish APOL's daughter's accomplishment, but it's always important to note that class ranking without a frame of reference is completely meaningless. Rank 1 at many, many schools in the nation may be no more impressive than top 10% or less at a school such as stuyvesant, etc.</p>
<p>Arbiter213---good point---Momnewtothis---I mentioned Ds stats to show how I had no idea what it took to get accepted---and to ENCORAGE you to apply, as it takes all kinds of people to make up the class. What I have learned in all this---it really came down to which school my D saw herself attending. She took the position that she would only apply to schools she would attend if accepted, and then waited to see who would offer her a spot. she did not get hung up with a first choice/second choice. She felt that it would be a waste of energy. She did take the position that she had worked hard-and deserves the chance to apply/ask. I hope this helps-</p>
