By Top University Posted in: Northwestern University

Hi! I’m a high school freshman and I was wondering what classes and such that I should get involved in. In the past, I’ve taken 1 course through Northwestern’s CTD program and I’m doing another one this summer. My resume so far looks like this:
Classes:
Freshman Schedule:
Geometry b (regular math)
Global Studies Honors
Gym
Bio( at my school there isn’t any biology honors offered, only ap but thats after you take it freshman year)
German 2 honors
Lunch
Freshman English honors
Journalism honors
Clubs:
My school newspaper
Future doctors of America
Freshman class board
German club
leadership club
Water polo
Community giving day
Drug awareness club( teaching middle schoolers)
Places I’ve volunteered:
A therapeutic riding center, I go for 3 or more hours every week since summer.
Boy scouts of america
What other things does Northwestern look for?

    Well as a freshman you’re good to go so far. Im a sophomore at Northwestern so i can tell you a few things you can improve on!
    first of all, your unweighted gpa matters. make sure you are around the top ten in your class ( not top 10%, top 10 people in your class).
    hold more leadership positions in your extracurriculars. leadership is important. it doesnt really matter how many clubs you’re in if you arent a significant role in them.
    take as many AP classes as you can, and do well in them!
    Do you have any music/talents/sports you excel at? it helps to be recognized at least on a state level to show that you’re good at something besides school.
    try to clock in a lot of volunteer work. i went in with about 500 if i remember right.
    its never too early to start prepping for SAT’s. Most of my friends have gotten around 2200 more or less.
    good luck!
