Your GPA is great and the average for NW, your test scores are lacking but colleges more or less favor a high GPA with rigor (college is as rigorous as they get) over a high test score. Your ECs give a great atmosphere; a lot of students have unfocused and disjointed ECs. With a great/decent essay I think it’s a low reach/high match.

@okon2122 Thank you for your honest opinion! Makes me feel better about applying :slight_smile: I know my test score sucks but I’ll make sure to put a ton of effort into writing my essays!
