<p>Hi guys!</p>
<p>I was wondering if I should apply ED for Northwestern.. I feel like it's too much of a reach for me but i dont really know >_< I've been looking at a lot of people's chance me posts and it seems like if they are worried, I should be super duper worried. I would LOVE to go to northwestern if they accepted me. But if i don't even have a chance, I'd rather increase my chance to use ED on another college.. Please advise me ^^</p>
<p>I'm an Asian Male looking to apply for WCAS chemistry major</p>
<p>ACT - 31 - 27 E, 36 M, 28 R, 33 S, 8 W
SAT subject II - 800 MII, 770 Chem
AP - Chinese 5, Calc BC 5, Chem 5
UW GPA - 3.65?</p>
<p>Here's a separate question (idk if this should be a separate thread)</p>
<hr>
<p>Actually, I'm moving for my senior year.. and both my past and new high school are equally good and competitive. The problem is their gpa calculations are different. My old school just gives 5's for all honors and AP. My new school gives 4.5 for honors and 5 for APs. (A's)</p>
<p>My new school offers alot more honors electives (for example spanish honors 1 through 5, honors orchestra) but my old school doesn't.. So it sorta balances out. They haven't told me how my GPA would be translated.. but I don't think they'll give me honors credit for some electives, foreign language.. My 4.24 GPA will drop to around a 4.0.. and I won't be in the top 10% Should I explain this in my college app showing why I wasn't in the top 10% of my class? Or does NU translate gpa on its own for unweighted?</p>
