<p>Hi!
What are my chances at Northwestern University if I apply early decision? I'm considering majoring in either psychology or neuroscience. I know that my SAT scores are slightly low, but hopefully I can make up for it with other parts of my application. </p>

<p>•GPA: 98 (our school doesn't use the 4.0 scales- it's out of 100)
•2100 SAT (680 Math, 720 Reading, 700 Writing)
•30 ACT
•4 AP Tests: one 5, one 4, two 3s
•Top 10% of extremely competitive public school
•High level of academic rigor- all honors or AP classes
•Varsity field hockey, ice hockey, and tennis
•Captain of the tennis team
•Part-time Employment
•Active in my community with lots of volunteering
•Head of a youth art board and part-time art teacher
•Volunteer at Maine Youth Court and involved in multiple clubs
•Positive Recommendations</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>I’m also thinking about applying to…
Colgate
Brown
Wesleyan
Williams
Boston College</p>

<p>Does anyone have any insight on my chances at one of these schools also?</p>

<p>NWU: Reach
Brown: Reach
Colgate: Reach
Wesleyan: Reach
Williams: Reach
BC: Match/High match</p>

<p>Is there another LAC that you might want as a safety?</p>

<p>I think you are a fairly good match for boston college. Northwestern may be a reach school, as for Brown. However, with good essays and recommendations, you will definitely be considered.</p>

<p>I have Wheaton College in Mass. And Juniata in PA as backups, but I’m not super interested in them. Do I have somewhat of a chance of getting into Northwestern, or is it too far out of reach?</p>

<p>Can you afford doing ED at NWU?</p>

<p>@catria Yes, I can. Financial aid isn’t a problem. Will this help?</p>
