Hi there, I was just wondering what are my chance for EA? I’m really sorry to ask as I’m sure all of you are sick of these but here it goes:

-29 ACT but 31 superscored
-rank 3rd out of 690
-gpa 4.0uw, 4.8w
-first generation female from suburban Ohio
-speak fluent Romanian with moderate Spanish
—I figured that might help since I’m going to do International Studies
-pretty awesome rec letters, ranked as top 1% in all areas except like 3 where I was given top 5% like confidence, I’m paranoid, haha
-ECs are not many b/c I had to take care of my younger brother since my parents worked the 2nd and 3rd shifts my freshman and soph years so no ECs for those years at all but the ones I do have now are:
-Spanish club secretary (11th) and now president
-Link Crew Leader (freshman mentor) 11,12
-Founder of AP Book Club 12
-Volunteered at the Cleveland Zoo this past summer 11-12
-Girls State Delegate- I put this under state honors though 11
-Founder of the AP Book club 12
-Write a political blog 11-12

Questions:
-How does superscoring at NU work?
-How’s the food?
-I was rejected from Cornell ED on Thursday and my heart is still somewhat in Ithaca. I might try to transfer in or try for grad school. Will NU help me achieve this if I do well or will I still be viewed upon negatively in comparison to say a student from Boston College or Amherst, etc trying to do the same thing?
