<p>Okay so I am head over heels for Northwestern and I would really love to know what my chances are so that I can better prepare for my rejection or acceptance letter. First off I applied Early Decision. I have a 4.0 GPA I am in the Top ten percent of a highly competitive academic school with a class size of 750. I am going to list my extra cirriculars and sorry they are really lengthy.
Student Council Body Secretary,I am the Student Council secrtary for the Dallas Forth Worth area composed of 300 high schools, lets just say I am EXTREMELY invloved in student council, I have dedicated over 4,325 hours since freshman year to stu co. I also served as a High School Student Council Workshop Counselor this past summer for 300 high school students. I have been Interact President for 2 years now and secretary the year before (community service club with Rotary) have built schools in mexico with interact, I have been on the freshman advisory board, sophomore class secretary, junior class vice president, and senior class representative, I am on a national advisory board called teens in the drivers seat and have hosted press conferences at the capitol served as a key note speaker for the National Student Saftey Assocation. I am historian of my schools Bussiness professionals of america league, I am in academic decathlon, UIL, Yearbook, was in choir for two years, Support our Soliders, National Honor Society, Health Occupational Student of America, Served on my city council advisory board, started a mentoring program at my school,Was president of an organization called green cord involving community service and requirement to join is 100 hours of service, I serve on my schools inner club council ( presidents of clubs), and I have over 850 community service hours throughout my community. I also attended Girls State as the first person from my city and was elected county judge, in senate, and superidenent. Sorry for listing them all it just a big part of who I am.
SAT scores are low 1900, But I hope my other things supplement. I have a strong essay about my mom’s death from a cancerous brain tumor in the sixth grade and how I have had to over come that. My other essay’s are strong, and my teacher and counselor reccomendations are perfect! </p>

<p>So please be honest what are my chances???</p>

<p>Sorry about the loss of your mom. I’m sure you honor her every day with wonderful memories. </p>

<p>I think it will be tough to overcome a 1900 SAT score in NU’s very competitive applicant pool. You should definitely apply anyway and see what happens. The hours you say you’ve logged for student council seems a little high. If you worked each of the last 4 years, including summers, you would be spending over 20 hours per week on this activity alone–does that sound right-- that’s almost 3 hours per day?</p>

<p>Thanks:)
Okay well there was six month period that I spent 5 hours after school every single day working on student council when I ran for state President. And I attend 2 summer workshops a week long each for the past 3 years, I have been a counselor for 2 workshops so thats a total of 8 workshops with about 60 hours of work each. I also have spent over 17 hours a week since freshman year at stuco.
On the other hand I have taken the most vigorous courses my school has to offer and currently am in 8 AP classes this year. I also took three SAT 2s Molecular Biology -650 Math level 2 -650 and US history- 620</p>
