Chances???

Colleges and Universities A-Z Northwestern University

<p>I have a 3.2 GPA. Although I don't know if this matters but I go to The Dalton School. Does coming from a New York private school hurt my chances? I got a 2.78 Freshman year and I have gotten better and better each year.</p>

<p>I got a 30 on the ACT. I took 1 SAT II (Chemistry) and got a 710. I plan on taking Math 2C I expect something like a 750 on that.</p>

<p>I have a good amount of ECs: I worked at a local synagogue, tutored kids in Harlem, worked at a non-profit thrift shop for aids research, Congresswoman Carolyn Maloney's office. Deutsche Bank, School Newspaper (Staff Writer), Editor in Chief of Tiger Wire (Sports Magazine), Varsity Football and Varsity Lacrosse.</p>

<p>I also am an Asian American and plan on applying early</p>

<p>Any response would be very helpful. Thank you.</p>

<p>Your ECs are great-- strictly academically NU could be a stretch. Make sure you express interest, spend time on your app essays, and get good recs. They make the difference for borderline applicants.</p>
