<p>General Comments: I would appreciate it if any of you could chance me, I respect your honest opinion and look forward to hearing from anybody. If I have one regret, it is not applying ED. NW is by far my first choice, and any suggestions as to how to show that to the Admissions department would be appreciated. I'm freaking out guys, any feedback is good.</p>

<p>Your GPA and ACT score are kind of low for the range that I think this year’s applicant’s will rise to. EC’s are OK and may be able to diminish the importance of your numbers. Good luck!</p>

<p>Your gpa is low. Don’t count on getting in, but don’t count it out either. The rest seems fine but the gpa could be a bit more solid. I’d say 10% chance. Good luck!</p>
