Hey I just applied ED to northwestern, and i just wanted to know if my app was up to their standards, and if im likely to get in. I have a 4.65 GPA, valedictorian of my class, 34 ACT, and im in a lot of advanced choir groups. I also run cross country, and last two years ive gotten all-conference at the scholastic bowl (trivia thingy) conference championships, both in varsity and fresh-soph. Also national commended scholar and ap scholar with distinction. I really want to go to this school, and I even mentioned this in my essays, but I know that a lot of kids are just like me, if not better, who are also applying to this school. If ya’ll could give me some feeback that’d be great!
Its agonizing waiting for a decision and I know you want some reassurance. Obviously your numbers are well in range, but there are no guarrantees even for perfect grades or perfect scores. I’m sure you wrote a great application - you don’t get to be valedictorian without knowing how to write an essay. Now move on and write the other applications on your list, just in case. Good luck.
Why do you want to attend Northwestern so badly?
