<p>You really should just take a breath until senior year. Without new SAT’s, SATIIs, more APs and a more defined class rank, any guesses anybody here makes would be essentially meaningless. Chances are you might not even have the same major by the time any of this matters. Enjoy junior year, and come back in the fall with more specifics. Senior year is another world entirely, especially for antsy accelerated students like yourself.</p>

<p>Do you think I am on track? Please, I love NU and I would really like some advice.</p>

<p>You probably need to apply ED to be competitive.</p>

<p>Your stats look a lot like mine actually. Band, newspaper, NHS, hosting job. Haha. But def. take the ACT too. I also think your best bet is ED. If you feel confident you want to go there, go for it! I did and I’m so happy!!</p>

<p>My only problem with applying to NU ED is that I definitely need financial aid, and unless I get enough there is no way I can go :(</p>
