Please chance me!! Northwestern ED, UChicago EA

So I already submitted all of my apps, and I just wanted to know my chances because im so nervous!!

GPA
UW: about 3.86 i predict, my school doesnt include it on the transcripts. ive had one b+ freshman and sophomore year, and i consistently get an a- in gym every year which also brings it down
W: 4.32 with the hardest course load

School doesn’t rank but im definitely at least in the top 10%

SAT/SATII
SAT: 680 CR, 770 M, 780 W
SAT II: 720 Bio M, 710 French (not native) 720 Math II (Should i send this one…)

AP:
US History (4), Stats (5), Gov (5), Psych (5)

Senior Course Load:
AP Calc BC, AP Physics C, AP Environmental, AP English, AP World, Anatomy (there was a scheduling conflict so i had to take this instead of AP French)

Extracurriculars:
Intensive french courses in NYC and self studying the language for 3 years during summers and the school year, have received an internationally recognized diploma in level B2

Volunteer at a museum in NY and at my local hospital for a few hours every week for 2 years

Art Club (4 yrs) French Club (3 yrs) Community Service Club (3 yrs) NHS member and tutor (2 yrs) Biology Club (3 yrs) Staff of school newspaper (3 yrs) —couldnt get any officer positions because all the teacher advisors gave the roles to their favorites/ people who were their students (i didnt know any of the teachers and have never taken their classes)

Babysit neighbors and half brother every day after school and weekend

Reccomendations:
all 8-9/10

Essays:
CA - 9/10
Why NU- 8/10
Why UChicago- 9/10
UChicago supplement- 9/10
Uchicago fave things- 8/10

If this is any hook, i am also biracial (but neither race is black or hispanic)
Also, my stepfather went to the NU medical school (is this a legacy?)

Your stats are competitive and your ECs great - not sure about the NU legacy thingamajig, but you might want to contact the school via phone and ask them directly. I wish you the best of luck: U Chicago is a reach for nearly everyone, but with stellar essays you’ve improved your chances significantly.

Your CR is slightly lower than the 50th percentile but hopefully ED will help. Your SAT II scores are a little low, especially the math one (72nd percentile) I wouldn’t send that one if you don’t have to. Sounds like you have a rigorous schedule and I think you have a decent shot at Northwestern. In regards to Chicago, SAT is barely is on the cusp of the 50th percentile; I think the essays will make or break you.

Your GPA and SAT I and II scores are just average, nothing spectacular. EC’s are average as well. The only thing I see helping you out is your essays and passions honestly. If they’re average too, well better luck next time in your RDs.

Northwestern ED - Low Reach
UChicago EA - Reach
