<p>Hi!</p>
<p>I am about to go into my senior year of high school. I'm really in love with Northwestern and would absolutely love to go there.</p>
<p>Just a bit (and by "a bit" I mean "a lot") about me</p>
<p>I'm a girl, and I'm white, and Jewish</p>
<p>My superscored SAT is a 2120
Math: 650
Reading: 730
Writing: 740 (With an essay score of 11)</p>
<p>My dry score is a 2110
Math: 650
Reading: 730
Writing: 730 (With an essay score of 10)</p>
<p>I have taken the SAT II in American history and I got a 690 and am planning on taking the Math 2 test in the fall as soon as it's available.</p>
<p>My GPA is a 90.6 (low for NU, I know, but a girl can dream)</p>
<p>As far as APs go:
Junior year
-AP American: 4
-AP English Language Comp: 5
This year i will be taking:
AP studio art
AP Environmental
AP Calc AB
AP Spanish</p>
<p>I would have also enrolled in AP English Lit and AP Government, but my school offers Senior Seminar Programs, and so for English, Soc, and Drama credit i will be taking a 3 period class called Stages, in which students write, produce, direct, and perform their own original musical. It's a really unique thing to have on a resumé and im really excited to take it. It's also considered the most challenging of the Senior Seminar programs, of which there are 4. </p>
<p>Extracurriculars:
4 years of Girls Varsity Soccer (including 1 All-County award and 1 All-Class award) + I'm a captain
10 years of out of school Travel Soccer (I don't know if that makes a difference but i'll just put it down)
3 years of Girls Varsity Fencing + I'm a captiain
1 year of Girls Varsity Lacrosse
4 years of Athletic Leadership Club (including an officer's position)
2 years of Peer Drug Education and Peer Leadership Clubs/Programs
2 years of Model UN (including an officer's position)
2 year member of my school's Congress
Ample community service hours, mostly working with mentally handicapped adults and kids (e.g. Special Olympics)
Summer cashier job (summer 2013)
Summer lifeguarding job (summer 2014)
Community involvement through the Youth program at my temple
The English Department award for excellence in writing (given out by my school to about 10-15 students)
2 national Spanish exam honorable mentions </p>
<p>I also play the piano and love to sing, although i do neither officially. I'm not in my school's orchestra or chorus and i've never done nisma or anything like that, i just enjoy music.</p>
<p>I pride myself on my writing and think that my essays for my application will be pretty strong. (Hopefully)</p>
<p>Additionally, I have a pretty close relationship with my AP English teacher, an amazing writer and a Northwestern alum, and am planning on asking him for a letter of recommendation, along with my APUSH teacher and my school's vice principle. I don't know how important it is that my English teacher is an alum, considering I'm pretty sure he's not the most active Northwestern grad to walk the planet. Id definitely go so far as to assume that Seth Meyers or Stephen Colbert have more money to dish out to the university than my high school English teacher. </p>
<p>I will most likely be applying to Weinberg (arts and sciences). If it would help me get admitted, id also consider applying to the School of Communication (or any school for that matter. I'll be a goddam engineer if they want me too. I really want to go here) I would also apply early decision. </p>
<p>Do I have a chance?!</p>
<p>-sorry this is so long-</p>
