<p>Hey guys</p>

<p>So what do you think my chances are for Northwestern Early Decision?</p>

<p>Heres my stats and accomplishments:</p>

<p>4.93 Weighted GPA
4th in Class ranking
3.98 Unweighted GPA
2090 SAT I
32 Composite ACT
800 Math SAT II
730 World History SAT II</p>

<p>9 AP tests:
5: AP Physics B
5: AP Human Geo
5: AP US History
5: AP Calc BC
5: AP Marcoeconomics
4: AP Chem
4: AP Physics C: Mechanics
4: AP World History
3: AP Lit</p>

<p>2 Sport Varsity Athlete
NHS member
300+ Volunteer Hours
Participate in 8 clubs</p>

2

<p>8 clubs? Have you founded/hold any leadership positions in them?
If so, match/high match.</p>

3

<p>I am the captain of the chess team, and I am a co founder and current president of the ping pong club.
Apart from that, Im in Debate, Math League, Badminton, Student Government, Link Crew, and Speech.</p>

4

<p>Solid group–though I’m not sure if the AdComs might think you’re involved in too much; i.e. spreading yourself too thin. Your GPA, however, would def. indicate otherwise. NW might be more on the reach side–depends on your recs, essays, s’more of the “soft” factors.</p>

<p>Have you considered taking the SAT or ACT (or both) again?</p>

5

<p>You may want to retake SAT/ACT because you’re just on the borderline of a universally acceptable score. With that, and applying ED, I’d say you have a very high chance of acceptance</p>

6

<p>Not going to take the ACT again, but im taking the October SAT.</p>

7

<p>low-reach to high-match.
Your only “weakness” is you ACT/SAT scores.
The rest is great. Great clubs, great GPA.</p>

<p>Any details about recommendations/essay skills?</p>

8

<p>Try to get 2200+/33+. Your ACT score is actually better than SAT.</p>

I have two teacher recommendations and a college professors recommendation. I guess i should also add on that I did a two week program at Northwestern this summer.</p>
