whats my chance for northwestern?

<p>ACT-30
GPA uw 3.7/ w 4.4
ive taken all honors core classes and will have completed 4 APs by the end of the year
class rank 5 or 6 out of 300
ECs
chess club, year book, student council, beta club historian, tennis, dance, music,mu alpha theta, national honors society,</p>

<p>ACT is lower than average for NU.
Grades – look average-ish but considering your class rank, this may just be your school’s marking system. (i.e., 3.7 UW is low for top 2% of the class).</p>

<p>Overall, tough to say – it’s worth applying, and you certainly have a shot, given above, I can’t say whether NU is target or a reach for you.</p>

<p>im planning on retaking the act and taking SAT subject tests. my other problem is that im only taking 4 courses my senior year when the max is five. my school ranks by weighted gpa</p>

<p>Y only 4 courses?</p>

<p>i have a job that starts at 1</p>
