Little Chance?

Colleges and Universities A-Z Northwestern University

<p>I just wanted some input on my chances to Northwestern...
Hispanic (Peruvian) Female. Dual citizenship (US and Peru)
I Speak Spanish and English at home, and I study many other languages as well...</p>

<p>GPA: 3.91 unweighted. I've gotten 4 Bs. Took a lot of IB classes. Weighted no school, school doesn't weight GPAs.</p>

<p>Class rank: Top 6%</p>

<p>Sat Score: 1730
Critical Reading 580
Math 540 (This was absolutely atrocious)
Writing 610</p>

<p>My excuse is that I had a cold on test day and I was using tissues every five minutes.... Test taking has never been my strength as it is.</p>

<p>ECs: A few leadership positions and some activities but nothing stellar. Few awards.</p>

<p>I'm a senior by the way.</p>

<p>So what are my chances? I realize that they're probably not very good....</p>

<p>Regrettably, you’re correct. They are not very good.
Take the SATs again; you’ve got nothing to lose, but without major improvement I don’t think that you’re a strong candidate.</p>

<p>:( my scores kill any chance I think, bump</p>
