<p>I’d say you’re unlikely to be admitted RD or ED. Weak GPA, class rank, SAT, and extracurriculars. In addition, admitted internationals typically have a better profile than the average admit.</p>

<p>Your GPA, class rank and the low SAT CR are the problem areas. The low CR score is especially troubling since it raises the question of whether you will be able to handle an all-English intensively academic environment. Your ECs are fine.</p>

<p>Northwestern’s competitiveness makes it a reach for even well qualified candidates, the problems mentioned make it even tougher to be optimistic.</p>
