<p>So I go to a very difficult Private High School in Cleveland Ohio. I hope to make my way into the media industry someday and I firmly believe this school would be very beneficial in that regard. Here is aprt of my resume and thank you very much:</p>

<p>GPA: 3.9
ACT: 27 (30 EN, 28 MA, 25 SC, 24 CR, 10 Essay)
SAT: 1910 (570 CR, 660 MA, 680 WR, 10 Essay)
AP: US History (4) English Language (4)
SAT II: US History 640</p>

<p>Classes: Mostly the standard courses. I would have taken more AP courses but at the end of my sophomore year I received a concussion and missed the last month of school. Everyone therefore strongly recommended I just take the regular courses rather than pursue the AP and Honors courses.
English: 9, 10, 11, Art and Craft of Writing, AP Revenge and Justice (Literature) (Took AP Language test in 11th grade even though I did not take the class and got a 4. Will take Literature test Senior year)
History: 9, 10, 11, Strategy Diplomacy and War, The Civil War and Reconstruction Era, Cuban History (Took APUSH test even though I was not in the class and scored a 4)
Math: Algebra 1, Geometry Accelerated, Algebra 2
Science: Bio 9, Chem, Honors Physics
Latin: 3 Years</p>

<p>EC's:
Congressional Debate Captain
President of the School Disciplinary Committee
School Newspaper Vice Editor
Lead in about 7 School Plays and Musicals
Creator, Founder, President and Play by Play Broadcaster of our School Sports Programing Network
Gold Member of the Cadmean Society (School Service Committee)

Intern at WRIS (Social Media Service for our school in Cleveland, Ohio)

<p>Thank you very much. Honesty is appreciated and if you have any ways of improving my resume, please tell me how i can do so. Thanks.</p>

<p>Sorry, you would need to substantially increase your SAT or ACT substantially to have a chance. Concentrate on one.</p>

<p>With only 2 AP’s and those scores, it’s not looking good, but you never know what can happen. Your EC’s look really good, and you can always try to bump up your scores by taking the tests again. Make sure to ask your guidance counselor to SPECIFICALLY mention it was suggested that you take lower classes because of missing a month of school.</p>

<p>Your EC’s and GPA look good; however, the biggest downfall is your SAT/ACT. I would retake them in order for you to improve your chances to Northwestern. By the way, is it possible that you could tell us what school you did make it into?</p>

<p>I agree with the responses above.
A 27 ACT and a 1230 (M + CR) are not competitice scores for NU.</p>
