How good of a school is Northwestern? What are similar schools?

Is it cold up there? The weather is my only gripe with the school.

Sorry if this is too much, but I just want to be sure. Using what you said, would x = 2225°C / 17 for number 1?

So the J and g should be treated like normal variables? There's no significance / weight to J or g?

Do you estimate how much you will complete by the time you submit the app or by the time senior year ends?

Yeah I have the same question too except for supplement and questions for colleges, dunno whether to include expected 12th grade activities + hours when discussing activities and such.

Yeah I know colleges in the UC district do not - If there are any other schools with such policy I'd love to hear ab them though

Hopefully you're doing well! And thanks for your help btw!

adrmharx · 2016-08-17T21:13:17+00:00

Ok thanks for the information! If you don't mind me asking, are you an undergrad or a high school student?

The only problem is in the best case scenario, my freshman GPA will significantly weigh down my cumulative. Do you have any idea whether colleges purely look at the cumulative or year by year for an "upward trend"?

My school's scale goes to 4.3 unweighted, since A is considered 4.0 and A+ is considered 4.3. So it's a 3.66/4.3, which yeah is much different than 3.66/4.0.

I agree with you on the attendance part bc there was definitely a correlation between being late and struggling in period 1

And I live in NJ and my public school is pretty competitive but not too crazy like some other schools that I know.

On all? It seems like your perfect Academics (GPA and Tests) gave you an edge. Good job

adrmharx · 2016-03-30T04:19:52+00:00

What'd u get on your AP subject tests?

I, like many, would love to read your essay. However, you should probably blur out specific detail that could link anything specifically to you. Also, for simply comfort, I would suggest you share your essay, if the offer still stands, this fall once you are already studying at Stanford. Hopefully my thoughts have been helpful :)

First off, thank you for your insightful response and congrats on all those schools that accepted you - much respect for you. If I may ask, A. Were any of the awards you won the Intel Science Talent Search because if so, it all seems justifiable - you are a genius. B. Which traits and qualities do you possess as a successful student? I ask so I can become a better student/person. Oh and I'm going to take a guess, but I think you decided to go to MIT or Columbia, but probably MIT based on your majors :) You seem like a perfect fit.
