Brown male rising senior! - polisci [GA, 92 GPA, 1520 SAT, 33 ACT]

Thank you for the feedback!

  1. I wanted to retake my BC exam since I scored a 3, and a 4 or 5 is required for GT’s Dual Enrollment Math program. I studied quite a bit for this year’s exam, so we will see what happens, but that was the only reason.
  2. My Crohn’s diagnosis came during my junior year, and my medication and remission followed shortly; it was that for a majority of my sophomore year, I was in a flare-up, and since I had no diagnosis at that point, nothing could have been done to medicate it. I suffered from it during my sophomore year.
  3. Past applicants with higher GPAs than me and similar test scores were rejected from Northwestern; there was a good amount of students that were admitted from our school this cycle (5-10 kids is my range), but the data for that is not updated yet within our system. There is only one other kid I know with a courseload similar to mine (his 19 APs vs my 18 APs) with a 94 UW, and he was rejected from most of the schools he applied to except GT (he was a CS major, I believe).
