<p>hmmm... your stats are very impressive, they could get you in, but i think nu is pretty big on essays. did you already send in your app? well, if you did, i wouldn't worry about it too much because you have a lot of ec's and good test scores... what's your gpa?</p>

<p>i think NU said they don't take january test scores?</p>

<p>either way i have no idea if u'll get in or not, since it's a crapshoot for everyone. essays ARE important tho.</p>

<p>oh yeah, my gpa is 5.67 (weighted out of 5) I'm 27th in my class out of 400 something which puts me in the top 6% or so</p>
