<p>You are obviously a fine student and therefore a competitive applicant. However, if you have two weaknesses they are your ACT score, which is not impressive by recent NU standards, and the fact that you are in pre-calc as a senior. Also, how did you do on the AP tests you took last year?</p>

<p>Wow. I recognize you from the GTown post I read like 30 seconds ago. Anyways, I live in MI too. The only thing that concerns me (other than ACT a little bit) is that Northwestern is so close to MI. If you were applying to a similar caliber school in a different region, you’d have the geographical diversity thing going on. It’s going to be tough as a midwest resident.</p>

<p>Some of those EC’s are pretty impressive.</p>
