<p>I'm only a junior but I am planning on applying to Northwestern ED. Here are my stats!
I go to a public elite school (veryy competitive), have ~3.85 GPA UW. I haven' taken tests yet but I'm aiming for a 2200. I also plan on taking the Bio M SAT II but not sure which others to take (lit maybe, maybe spanish too). As far as extracurriculars:</p>

<p>-Volunteer at local hospital
-volunteer on a team that restored our local historical museum
-Habitat for Humanity Member
-Volunteer SSAT tutor
-Jr. editor of school literary magazine
-Volunteer research assistant at Human Health and Environment Lab (UIUC)
-Contributing writer on a fashion blog
-Brac Health care volunteer work in Bangladesh</p>

<p>Awards (just started junior year so not many yet)
-Gold on National Spanish Exam Level 2, and silver on National Spanish Exam Level 3
-NaNoWriMo 2011 Winner
-School wide award for fictional writing
-Published in a random poetry anthology</p>

<p>I want to major in anthroplogy but also be premed (X_X). Do I maybe have a decent chance if I apply ED next year?</p>

<p>Ask again after you have your SATs and/or ACTs.
You haven’t said much about your curriculum.</p>

<p>well the school i go to doesn’t offer any regular classes. They’re all ap level or taught a level of difficulty comparable to ap classes. I mean as of now I’m taking stats, pre calc (which isnt ap obviously), organic chem, physics, creative writing (:heart:), african american literature, spanish 4, and us history</p>

<p>I suggest getting into more leadership. Yeah, volunteering is good, but having strong leadership positions are what matter. Plus, essays will make a big difference. Start looking around the NU website and anything affiliated with NU and figure out exactly why you want to go there; that will help A LOT with your essays, at least.</p>

<p>Good luck!</p>
