<p>Hey...ok so I know there are so many of these here is another chance thread. I am a soph (almost Junior!!). All this info is what will be there by the end of my senior year. And I have a feeling that I have no chance but I am going to try to work really hard on all of this. Give me your advice please because I really want to go to Northwestern!</p>

<p>Tell me what you think. And also tell me where I can improve because I still have 2 years to improve! Thanks!!!=D</p>
<p>Just wait until the middle to end of your junior year…we dont have an UW GPA or any real test scores so there really is no way to chance you.</p>
<p>Neuqua huh?
i go to north! haha and of course, our school is better.
im also considering NU, wierd.<br>
ok but to ur chances, pretty good
extra curriculars are very good, how many service hours do you have?
and as a side note, how are u getting 2300 on the SAT but a 30 on ACT.
a 30 on the ACT corresponds to a 2000 and a 2300 on SAt is a 34/35.</p>
<p>You go to North? Weird that in the big wide internet there are no Napervillians on this one thread. And I totally disagree…Go Wildcats…and if I get into NW I will still be a Wildcat=) </p>
<p>As for how do my SAT/ACT scores work out…I have no idea. I have studied a lot more for the SAT though so maybe that is why. The ACT score was my first time taking it with no classes/prep/any studying at all so yea. And for the volunteering I don’t know how many hours that is but I will check and repost.</p>
<p>To save people from the irritation of yet another chancing thread, I was wondering if you could chance me in here. I am currently finishing my junior year of high school, but these are my stats so far. Oh, and I’m not sure if it matters, but I’m an Asian female.</p>

Some other stuff</p>
<p>You’re a very solid candidate. Your transcript, scores and ECs are all quite strong, although they fall short of putting you in the category of a virtual sure thing. If NU is at the top of your list, I would consider ED.</p>
<p>Hey, does NU provide full aid to internationals? And do they waive application fees for them? I am just asking this to confirm…</p>
<p>from experience, there is full aid for internationals but you have to be absolutely amazing. it is definitely not need blind. especially after the endowment went down by like 2.5 Bil, i would not count on full aid.</p>
<p>Amythechinesekid, you should probably start a new thread.</p>
<p>man… not even a junior and already making chance threads… haha</p>
<p>I’m guessing your 4.57 is including your fourth semester… that’s solid. UW GPAs are pretty easy to calculate. I’m guessing you have a 4.0 since you probably have 4 weighted classes/7 classes at Neuqua.</p>
<p>You’ve got a good plan in terms of extracurricular activities and class schedules. You also have a great SAT score. If you follow through, you should have a great shot getting into NU considering I know at least 4 people who got in from your school this year ;)</p>
