<p>you look like a great applicant, impressive grades, SAT scores, AP scores. Your ECs seem to be a little bit… broad and shallow, but it’s hard to tell by me just reading that, you have more than I had in high school, anyway :p</p>

<p>you probably don’t need to bother when you have such a good SAT score, but you might want to try taking the ACT just to see how you do.</p>

<p>You’re solid. :D</p>

<p>everything looks good but i agree that your ECs are pretty shallow. Also, I dont think NU has a marketing major. Economics is usually the major that business oriented people take at NU and its one of the top econ departments in the country.</p>

<p>i think Northwestern has a marketing-ish major both in medill and in communications</p>
