Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>In Northwestern University, I am mainly interested in getting into their Medill School for journalism.</p>

<p>Academics:
SAT score: 2160
CR: 630. Math: 750. Writing: 780</p>

<p>ACT score: 33</p>

<p>unweighted GPA: 3.74
Weighted GPA: hovering between a 4.8 and a 4.9</p>

<p>Classes include some APs and honors.</p>

<p>Extracurriculars:
1 yr of American Sign Language Club
School Newspaper
Big Brother/Sister program
Freshman mentoring
VP of Community Service Club
School literary magazine</p>

<p>80 hours of volunteering at local hospital
Tutoring</p>

<p>Teen Editor on online magazine
All year internship at a NYC based magazine
Summer internship at social media startup
Summer foreign language research program</p>

<p>Also, if I get in, what are my chances of getting financial aid.</p>

<p>Financial aid is dependent on your income and demonstrated need, so no one here will know what will come of it.</p>

3

<p>EC’s are decent, academic stats aren’t that impressive. I would say your chances are pretty low at Northwestern and pretty good at NYU.</p>

4

<p>There’s a pretty significant difference between these two schools. I’d say that Northwestern is a reach, while NYU is a match. </p>
