<p>White Male
Public school in ohio
-no one in recent memory had ever applied to Northwestern
Undecided on major</p>

<p>GPA: 4.0 UW
-school doesn't have AP, IB, or honors. This is the hardest possible courseload. But I did self-study for AP govt and US history and got a
5 and a 4 respectively
Rank: 1 of 98
ACT: 33 (8 Essay)
SAT: 800 CR, 680 M, 650 W (8 Essay)
-Does Northwestern Superscore SATs? I took the October SATs, and I
think I got a 720+ on the math, giving me like a 1520.
-No SAT IIs. Do I need to take them, or am I fine with my current scores?

<p>First of all...pat yourself on the back. You have obviously worked hard to earn a 4.0 UW AND self-studying for the APs. Your stats with the new score fall within the range-this years class I have been told had avg SAT 1423. You have earned the right to be considered, and may find you are accepted. NOW...do you feel NU is a good fit for you? IF so--APPLY. G'Luck!</p>

<p>Your GPA and class rank speak for themselves.
Your ACT is excellent, so your only weak spot is the math SAT, and if you really do get it up to 720, that won't be a problem at all.<br>
I think NU does not require, but does "recommend," SAT subject tests.
Good luck!</p>
