I am a current sophomore at a large state university looking to transfer in the fall. I’ve already sent out a few applications, but I know there are some due later on and want some advice on where to apply and if I’m a strong enough applicant to have a chance at Northwestern (my top choice).
I have a 3.99 GPA (literally one A- in a 1-credit course) after taking challenging courses (e.g. organic chemistry as a freshman and 400-level biochemistry in the fall) I’m studying abroad in France this semester.
Not a ton of extracurriculars, but the ones I have are strong (I’m a TA for general chemistry and a peer mentor for my honors program. I’ve also been pretty involved in research)
In high school: I earned a 42-point IB diploma and only got one B second semester of senior year, 35 ACT
Essays decent, definitely literate!
I think my recommendations are strong!
