<p>I am currently a junior at a top private HS in PA and was just wondering what how I would fare for ED at northwestern in WCAS for double major in Econ and International studies.</p>

<p>SATs (I took begining of Junior year, will take again expecting 1530+): 750M 690V
PSATs: 73M 80V 71W (obviously I can do better on SATs as shown by this)
GPA: ~3.75-3.8 UW, 4.3-4.5 W 10-12 AP Classes: 1 4, rest primarily 5s
9: ~3.8, 3.8
10: ~3.6 (I sorta slacked off), ~3.8
11: ~3.9</p>

<p>School does not rank due to competetiveness, but around top 10%
I will write solid essays and have excellent recs.</p>

<p>Numbers look good same with the top ec's but you might want to talk to your counselor (obviously its early for that) about wheter or not to put all those activities that u just did in 11 on there</p>

<p>but based on Northwestern's stats if you get 1500s i believe u have a statistical 40%+ chance of getting in, which is actually pretty good considering its competitive nature.... at ivie's, the %age would be below that without a doubt</p>
