<p>Hey everyone,</p>
<p>I am a rising senior in high school, in Fairfax county (one of the best public school counties) and Northwestern is my first choice/dream school. I am applying early decision and wpuld live to know what you think my chances are!</p>
<p>SAT-1950
Cr 670
M 600
W 680</p>
<p>I know this is relatively low for nu, this was only my second time taking it and i have a tutor and am going to take to take it again in the fall, along with subject tests.</p>
<p>ACT - 30
english 35
Math 27
Science 27
Reading 32</p>
<p>This was my first time taking it with no prep, and i am going to take it again in the fall after tutoring in pursuit of a higher composite score.</p>
<p>My school is an IB school, and i have taken all ib classes since freshman year, making honor roll every year. However, I did not pursue the full IB diploma because I did not think i would do well along with all of my ecs.</p>
<p>ECs:
-Varsity lacrosse four years, captain for j/sr year
-Jv field hockey fr/so year
-Xc jr/sr year
-Indoor track so/jr/sr year
-3 year Writing center tutor/ statistical analyst
(our high school was the first writing center in the county and many high schools have modeled us) the writing center is paired with a class, advanced composition and i have taken that for three years as well.
-President of the student government association sr year
-representative of the student advisory council sr year
-selected to attend the west point leadership and ethics conference, where my skit for ethical resolutions won 1st place
-committee chair for the march of dimes fundraiser through key club ( key club for so/jr/sr year)</p>
<ul>
<li>i am currently pursuing my dive master scuba diving cert, and am considering using my dive experiences in my essay. </li>
</ul>
<p>One other thing, at my school tutorial learning blocks are offered instead of a class, most jrs and srs take them because it serves as a break to catch up on homework or go home early. I have opted out of this for both jr and sr year and therefore am graduating with 2 more classes taken than most everyone else. I'm not sure how significant this is but I think it will really help me prepare for college. </p>
<p>Thanks in advance for the feedback!!</p>
