**planning on taking the act in sept don't know if i'll do any better because i don't do well on standardized tests
--i want to major in something writing related. Your input is greatly appreciated thanks!</p>
<p>I'd say your chances are fine, especially if you show NU how much you love their school in the app...I got in, and I took 5 aps by the end of high school...10 is...wow. Best of luck!</p>
<p>If you love writing, make it show on your essay. </p>
<p>Study like hell for the math part of the ACT.</p>
<p>good luck!</p>
<p>Id say you have a pretty good shot. I got in ED (about to start this fall!) and am so excited! If you have any questions about the process, send me a message....remember to have fun your senior year of high school! it flies by.</p>
<p>Thanks for your input everyone....i was also curious if northwestern is a major frat/sorority school. I don't really have an objection against this i just don't want it to dominate the social life</p>
<p>End your "Why Northwestern" essay with "Go 'Cats!" That should get you in, lol.</p>
<p>NU is about 40% greek which is kind of large</p>
