<p>I probably have more stuff to add, but can't think everything on spot.</p>

<p>Thanks for your inputs in advance !</p>

<p>Your essays and teacher recs have got to be compelling. Definitely go ED because unfortunately, I don’t think Northwestern will take the risk on you for RD. ED is iffy, but it’s your best shot. Try to get those scores up.</p>

<p>How did you do on the AP tests from 10th and 11th?</p>
