Admissions Advice

What do you think my chances are of getting into Northwestern?
Answered

Hi, I am a senior in high school. I have decided to ED to Northwestern because it is by far my favorite school. I have a 3.91 unweighted GPA, and a 4.62 weighted GPA with around 10 AP and 8 Honors classes. I also have good extracurriculars which show leadership, and wrote a pretty good "Why Northwestern" essay. When I visited the school I met the President of the Northwestern Hillel and he said he would put in a supplemental note for my candidacy. I also had an interview for Northwestern. Given this info, how well do you think my chances are?

I agree, please refer to the chancing engine for seeing your chances. Applying ED typically will give you a multiplier boost in admissions, around a 1.1-1.15x increase in chances. Read more about this multiplier effect here!

There's a chancing section in CollegeVine, just use that. These communities are not for "chance-me".

I’m aware of that. However, it does not factor in ED and the supplemental note.

Sure, but this isn't the place for it. You know, you can also figure this out yourself.... And if you really are against that, then I would expect maybe 1.5x-2x more for ED and 1.1x for the letter.

I don't think there is much for CV members to weigh in here since its a chancing question and they are not allowed on the blog posts. I would defer to filling out a College Vine profile and running it through the chancing engine to see what your % percentile number is to get in.

Good luck.
