Northwestern is my number one choice right now – it’s pretty much my dream school. The reason I’m applying through Regular Decision is because I don’t want to be forced to go to NU with a really crappy financial aid package or something (my parents are only giving me $6,000 a year towards tuition/room and board). I would really appreciate it if someone could give me my chances of being accepted… thanks (:

ACT: 32 (will retake in December)
SAT II: MATH II - 760
GPA: 3.88 UW

Current Schedule (don’t know if this helps?):

I currently have A’s in all of them

EXTRACURRICULAR ACTIVIES:
**Cross Country **- varsity all 4 years, captain junior and senior years

Have been a state qualifier all 4 years, currently hold my school record
**Track **- varsity sopohmore, sunior and senior years, captain junior and senior years

Qualified for state ever year, placed 5th at state in 3200m, 8th in 1600m, I currently hold 6 school records
NHS - junior/senior years, vice president senior year
Academic Team - junior/senior years, captain senior year
Revolution Point - helped start a youth group (called Revolution Point) in my community. We meet every Saturday.
Swimming - junior year (thought it would help me cross train for track). I surprisingly made varsity
**Community Service **- around 200 hours… nothing impressive, but at least it’s something, right?
There’s a few other random ECs like German Club, JV Soccer freshman year, Mu Alpha Theta, Relay For Life ect. but they aren’t as notable as the ones listed above.

Oh, and my respective major is Economics.

So what do you guys think?
