Also I hope the amount of people commenting is the amount of people who actually applied ED.
1520 SAT. 800 Math & 720 Reading.
800 on SAT math II
740 on SAT physics
Unweighted GPA 96 (out of 100) (we don't have rankings but I am top 10% for sure)
9 APs (I am now taking 3 and I already took 6), all are 4s and 5s.
those I already took: AP Calc AB, AP Calc BC, AP Physics 1, AP US History, AP US government, AP lang&comp
those that I am taking this year: AP bio, AP stat, and AP English literature (and maybe AP computer science B I am not sure).
Am I missing anything?
what's yours?
31 ACT: 34 Math, 32 Science, 30 English, 28 Reading => I took it again in October so I’m waiting on those scores too.
SAT II: Math 2 -> 760
GPA: 95 (out of 100)
I have a very small school with no class rank, and I have 7 APs (I took all the best possible classes my school offers):
I took APUSH and AP Lang/Comp in my Junior year, and this year I am taking AP Calc AB, AP Chemistry, AP Lit, AP Spanish, and AP Euro.
I plan on submitting my first quarter grades, since I believe I did well in all of them.
I believe my Common Application essay is very unique, and my Why Northwestern essay is pretty strong too.
I had a total of four recommenders, including a counselor, and I think they each wrote great essays considering they are great writers who are graduates from Northwestern, Columbia, and Notre Dame.
My extracurriculars are also pretty strong, I have a lot of leadership and involvement in religious studies, and I also have other leadership positions in school clubs (co-captain of Math Team and co-founder of Robotics Team for example).
Northwestern also has a look at demonstrated interest I believe, and I have had a total of 5 interactions (two representative visits to our school, two campus tours, and one seminar).
I also live twenty minutes away from their campus, and one admissions officer during my visit said that she was the one who reviews applications from the Midwest, so I would assume that they split their applications into a few regions. I may be wrong so don’t quote me on it, but do you mind telling me where you’re applying from?
Also, good luck, and I hope that we both get in.
