<p>Northwestern is a potential reach school for me, and I was wondering if anyone here had some insight as far as my chances are of getting in. I go to a small, private, dual curriculum school (since my school is for Jewish teenagers, I take 4 Judaic classes everyday, on top of my other 5 college prep classes) . Since my school is pretty small, it doesn’t offer much AP and just started honors programs my sophomore year. I still took the APush test last year and scored a 4. Also, the grading system at my school is unique. It grades me as a college would, so, for example, a 92% equates to a 3.6. The only way to get a 4.0 is by getting 100% in the class.
My GPA is still not bad, a 3.85. It would be a 4.0 if my school didn’t have such a different grading system…
I also have good extra curriculars, and am currently student body president.
As far as my SAT goes, I think I am on the lower end of the Northwestern spectrum. I scored a 2010. I also took two subject tests, but I was so busy I didn’t get to study nearly as much as I would have liked, and I also had a bad night sleep the night before, so I scored a 650 in lit and 610 in history. I am thinking about only sending in my lit score. If any at all!
As you can tell, I am pretty lost. I really have no idea what my chances may be. Any thoughts? Thank you so much!</p>
