<p>Thank you sooo much! :)</p>

<p>Be truthful with me.. this school might be a reach for me.. if so, my backup is University of Illinois.</p>

2

<p>assuming your 4.0 is unweighted… you have a chance at ANY school you apply to with a 34 act and a 4.0…</p>

3

<p>Everything’s pretty strong; you’ve got a good chance. Are you applying ED?</p>

4

<p>first of all, you have nice EC’s. (that one for disabled girls made me smile!)</p>

<p>very high ACT, top GPA. </p>

<p>slighttt disadvantages: quantity of AP’s by senior year, where are SAT ii’s (unless NWU doesnt care for SAT ii’s). </p>

<p>tip: make your college essays strong (might want to talk about your parents)</p>

<p>overall, i think northwestern is a fit.</p>

5

<p>thanks!</p>

<p>…would ED up my chances?</p>

6

<p>

</p>

<p>In general, ED affords a modest advantage because you are indicating that school as your top choice.</p>

7

<p>Also… does NWU give full need based aid?
I can’t afford college AT ALL…
My calculated EFC is $0 if that says anything…
I’m really poor :(</p>

8

<p>I don’t know the specifics, but you should get decent financial aid at Northwestern if your EFC is indeed $0.</p>

<p>ahha wow i hope u get in im a biochem major going to northwestern next year :smiley: </p>

<p>ur gpa and acts are def good enought to get into northwestern but is your coursework hard? you didn’t seem to take alot of ap classes that might hurt you a little but if you ED and your in state i def think you have a good chance of getting in :]</p>

10

<p>everything looks good. I’d say mid-high match maybe. you’ll definitely have a shot with the stats you have right now. keep it up!</p>

11

<p>Apply ED to Northwesten and rock the essays and you are in. Strong ACT scores will help to get considered and even top tier schools like the ivy league. I would say high match for northwestern. Good luck! </p>

<p>btw, a biochem major will be EXTREMLEY hard to handle! </p>

<p>bump…
will anyone else chance me please?</p>

<p>If your EFC is 0, consider applying for questbridge.
With stats like yours and and EFC of 0, i’m pretty sure you’ll get QB finalist, and then the cost issue goes out the window. NW is a QB partner for college rank, so that means you can basically ED to them by putting it top of your rank.
For more details you should look up the questbridge stuff on CC</p>

<p>Anyways, you have a good story and a tough background. That makes it a hook for other schools as well, so i would actually recommend applying to HYPS, as hooked applicants seems to do really well.</p>
