<p>So CC definitely makes you think that everyone else applying to your school is valedictorian, class president and cured cancer, which can be quite overwhelming... So, chance me?</p>

<p>Georgetown SFS
WashU
UMiami
USC
GW
Tufts
Northwestern
Brandeis</p>

<p>Class of 2008
Arizona resident
Jewish (yeah, since every school is lacking Jews... psh)</p>

W GPA: 4.6
UW GPA: 3.86
8 APs by end of senior year
Most rigorous schedule available at school
Taking a Hebrew class outside of school
Did a semester abroad as a junior (in Israel)</p>

<p>ECs:

<p>Note: Because I did a semester abroad, it was difficult to expand my ECs because I was away from all of them. My TYG ECs take up most of my time in the year, and I was able to continue with those while in Israel.</p>

<p>Thoughts?</p>

<p>for northwestern, what's your ACT? i believe they require the ACT and then SAT II's or something absurd like that. however, my friend got rejected from northwestern and asked them to appeal the decision. they replied with a letter stating that her act score, while exceptional, was rather middle of the road for northwestern. she got a 32.</p>

<p>The middle fifty for ACT scores at Northwestern is 29-33.</p>

<p>So it is kind of middle of the road for them. Odds are your friend had very little else to recommend her and/or it was just a really tough year.</p>

<p>You can take the SAT or the ACT for Northwestern. But some programs require SAT IIs.</p>

<p>I’m taking the ACT in a few weeks, and if I do really well on that I’ll send that instead of my SAT. Also planning on retaking the SAT in Oct.</p>
