I think you have a good shot. If I had to point anything out it would be lack of leadership. But if you’re ED NU, I think you have a very good chance because ED takes over 30% and you’re legacy.

Please chance me

I think your in.

Depends on your uw gpa and course rigor not your w gpa. You have a good ACT so I’d say with a uw GPA 3.8 or higher you’re basically in. Legacy helps and your chances depend on your major. Are you applying Bienen (I’m assuming thats what your doing with all though music things)? If that is the case then your probably have a good shot ED.

Honestly, if you’re ED, you’re good to go. Your stats are awesome, your EC’s are diverse but not out of control, and the fact that you are a double-legacy through your father and grandpa (two uncles doesn’t really quantify as legacy, but wouldn’t hurt to mention) shows that you’re well rounded. Further, to show that you too are following in their footsteps is a good step forward in the process.

Honestly you’re fine. NU seems to accept the vast majority of ED applicants with a 34+ ACT. Assuming your uw GPA is at least about 3.6-3.7, the double legacy should get you in.

I don’t usually like to do these chance threads, but in your case, your chances are very, very, positive.
