Northwestern, NYU, UChicago, or UMichigan?

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>Can I get into Northwestern, NYU, University of Michigan, or University of Chicago with this resume?</p>

<p>SAT 2250 (math 800 reading 760 writing 690)
ACT 32
GPA 3.7/4.0 unweighted (B in English for both 9th and 10th grades)
All Honors and AP classes
APs: Physics, Chemistry, Calculus AB and BC, Statistics, Economics, US History, European History
Extracurriculars: Student Government 4 years (class president 9-11, secretary 12), Journalism (financial column), National Honor Society 2 years, California Scholarship Federation 2 years, Science Olympiad 4 years (secretary 12), Future Business Leaders of America 3 years, Varsity Track and Field 9-11 (state runner up in 100m relays), MVP 9-10, and attended the Cosmos program at UCI last year.</p>

<p>And if it makes a difference, I'm African American; people tell me this does or doesn't matter but I'm not sure.</p>

<p>Assuming you’ll attend Cosmos program again this year, I’d say you’re in at University of Michigan, possibly/probably in at NYU.
University of Chicago and Northwestern I’m not that sure, but you definitely have a decent chance.</p>

<p>Your URM status will help you. Can you try bringing up your writing grade to 700+? I would also recommend bringing your GPA up, since it’s a bit low.</p>

<p>Remember that your essay counts too :slight_smile: Assuming you write a decent essay, I’d say you’re a strong candidate.</p>

<p>You appear to be a very strong candidate. Just remember to have several matches and a safety you love on your list as well.</p>

4

<p>U Mich: Match
NYU: Match/High Match
Northwestern: Low Reach
U Chicago: Low Reach</p>

5

<p>NYU and U Mich your in. Northwestern is a low reach and so is u chicago. they are definitely reachable.</p>

6

<p>does low reach mean i have a low chance?</p>

7

<p>Low reach means that it’s a stretch, but fairly reachable.</p>

8

<p>and would it help if i were to retake the ACT to compensate for my writing?
Because if i were to retake the SAT it would be my third time.</p>

9

<p>Most schools don’t really care much about writing, so it’s the best one to have a low score in. I think you’re good. And just to clarify, I think you’re in at Mich and almost definitely in at NYU. U Chicago and Northwestern, are as I said, low reaches.</p>

10

<p>Your race makes a difference, and don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. Besides, you look like a strong candidate, only thing i notice is your e.c. are all over the place. So maybe you could focus on something in depth over the summer? Just my thoughts</p>

11

<p>I’m not sure whether i want to do economics or engineering, hence the FBLA and Science Olympiad focuses. The rest is just me liking to be involved, like student government and community service honor societies.</p>

12

<p>You have good chances at these schools. You may want to take a couple subject tests (preferably Math2 plus a science) if you want to apply for engineering.</p>

13

<p>ahh, how did i leave that out hahaha
I got a perfect 800 on the Math II Subject Test, 780 on Physics, and I’m taking Chemistry and US History ones this year.
Also, I have like two minor infractions on my discipline record, will this change things?</p>
