<p>i believe northwestern’s a high match, and i add this “high” simply because you can never be sure since Northwestern’s also a highly selective school and you can hope for the best
as for other schools on your list, i’ll say, you have a great chance everywhere, however, your ECs are not very impressive, but i guess you’ve devoted most of the time studying?</p>

<p>Also, a lot of people from my school have gone to NU, so I’m not sure if that helps or not. </p>

<p>Stuff I forgot: I have played violin for 6 years, drums for 2 years, and I’m sure the teachers I asked gave me some solid recs since I’ve known them for all 4 years.</p>

<p>Other than that, i know i’m really lacking in the EC, but i hate doing EC’s just for college. I only signed up for the interesting ones. Do you think the low amount of EC will hurt my chances a lot??</p>

<p>Oh, and a couple of other questions. </p>

<p>Calc III, diff equ, and linear algebra are through UIUC, so do i need to send college transcripts if they are on my HS transcript?</p>

<p>And, how do i mention that i play tennis? I don’t play for the school cause i play on the city team.</p>

<p>Solid match. Very good chances. Good course load, good ECs. Be sure to highlight the service hours I think</p>
