<p>Sorry it’s not formatted prettier. Any suggestions of other good schools for me to look at? I’m looking for somewhere with a decent music program, as music is a big part of my life and I’m probably going to at least minor in it…I’m not sure of a major yet though.</p>

<p>i think you have a very good chance of gettign into northwestern. are you thinking about applying early decision? it’s great that music is so important to you- make sure you talk about about it in an essay or something, because that is really unique.</p>

3

<p>These schools get harder every year. Great rank but iffy scores, I’d put the effort in there.</p>

4

<p>I recommend applying ED, as schools are more willing to overlook statistical blips if they know you’re committed to attending.</p>

5

<p>I think you have a good chance. I know of several people from my school who got in with similar stats - don’t know about the ECs - but several others who were waitlisted/rejected with basically the same profile. If you really really love it, I’d also encourage applying ED.</p>

<p>I agree with Redroses and glassesarechic.</p>

<p>Thank you! I think I am going to apply ED and I have visited/attended info sessions so hopefully that shows interest! </p>

<p>Now if only I could get my 32/33 and get into All State Band! Hah.</p>
