Can I get into Northwestern?

Can I get into Northwestern or New York University?

  • Unweighted GPA: 3.600 Weighted GPA: 4.3779 Unweighted Rank: 127 of 615 (Top 20.6 Percentile) Weighted Rank: 52 of 615 (Top 8.4 Percentile) ^As of sophomore year, doing better junior year I think. Extracurricular Activities: Student Council- Chariman Junior Class Council- Chairman Cultural Awareness- Co-Vice President Tennis (started soph year and will continue with it through senior year) ^This is as of junior year. I think I can also become a board-member of Student Council and an officer of Health and Medical Careers by the end of this year. Community Service: Alexian Brothers Hospital- 110 hrs St. Peters Lutheran Church and School- 50 hrs Sunrise (retirement home)- 40 hrs ^This is as of right now. By the time I apply to universities, I think it's possible that I might have 400 hrs of community service. Also, I might be the youth coordinator at my own church. Occupation: I also worked at St. Peters Lutheran Church and School this summer and will work and volunteer there the summer before senior year. ACT: I took the December ACT and I got a 27. I'm going to take it again and study more.

    You have a good shot at it. The only way to know for certain is to apply. Good luck!

A 27 ACT is definitely your weakness there. This year, northwestern is apparantly as selective as a mid-tier ivy, so if these schools are your only choices, I would also apply to some safety schools. Try to aim for a 32 ACT though.
