Northwestern HPME Part 1

<p>i understand that a 1140 will get me no where in any accelerated program as i explained before i was immensely sick when i took the test and am taking it again in Dec and expect high 1400-1500 range but i just want to know if that will at least get ma a chance at their application i will pick it up form there by my Dec Sat's hopefully !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!</p>

<p>Well, the problem is, the hpme request card is the thing that allows you to get the application. The December scores won't come out in time because you have to turn in your card by 12-1-06. So I guess you'll have to deal with your old score.</p>

<p>randomscreenname - i would suggest calling them if you didn't get an application because 2340 essentially guarantees it if uve got the other prerequisites, it would really be a shame if you weren't able to apply</p>

<p>on the application instructions sheet, it said that there are acknowledgment AND application cards...wut the heck are application cards (not to be mistaken with the hpme request cards)?</p>

<p>i just sent my card in:</p>

<p>ACT: 35
SAT IIs: Math IIC-800, Chem-770
GPA: 4.32 out of 4.87 (ouch!!)</p>

<p>and i gotta lot of volunteering, research, and math awards...</p>

<p>will my GPA pretty much kill my chances?</p>

<p>no you should be okay</p>

<p>yer fine, just chill, most ppl that send out the card get an app...</p>

<p>yeah 1000 request the app and 900 get it, so the cards are stacked in your favor for receiveing the app (if only the same thing were true for the actual program)</p>

<p>hey, a few questions:
1) for the HPME card where it asks for years taken for subjects....does that include this year....so for example for english would it be 4 (including this year) or 3?
2) for GPA i have a 4.48 weighted but it is out of 5.0...do i put 5.0 or the highest GPA in my grade for highest possible? (or should i just put 4.0 out of 4.0, which is better)
3) For my sat II scores i want to wait until tuesday nov. 28 to send the card after i get my scores online...is this too late...i know the deadline is Dec. 1...but will there be applications left?</p>

<p>Thanks!!!!</p>

<p>also....how fast do we get the applications if they do decide that we are worthy of one?</p>

<p>i got mine within the hour.</p>

<p>^how about the other questions?...someone please?</p>

<p>so what do u guys think are the SAT score ranges for the people who request the app??????????</p>

<p>and would i have a chance if everything else is fine but my SAt's are 1140 CR+MATH and 1850 total</p>

<p>prob 2200-2400 or 1450 - 1600</p>

<p>all they ask you on the card is personal info, SAT and ACT test scores, class rank, and subjects...so are we supposed to attach a resume or something????</p>

<p>"3) For my sat II scores i want to wait until tuesday nov. 28 to send the card after i get my scores online...is this too late...i know the deadline is Dec. 1...but will there be applications left?"</p>

<p>don't worry- I'm doing the same</p>

<p>Do you need to send in an undergradute app as well by the first, or just the card?</p>

<p>just the card i think</p>

<p>the card is independent of the undergrad app, just send it in alone and don't attach anything else to it</p>

<p>on the application instructions sheet, it said that there are acknowledgment AND application cards...wut the heck are application cards (not to be mistaken with the hpme request cards)?</p>

<p>and uh can someone answer this soon cuz i'm getting kinda anxious...</p>
