<p>Overall your profile is really strong. Not much to say here. I’d say you have a really good shot at NW, but with their acceptance rate, you can never be 100% sure. the 700 service hours will really help out along with the stellar academics. It’ll help push you over the edge if you end up in limbo. I’m sure they’d love someone like you at their school. Just have a good essay/recommendation(s) and you should be a force to be reckoned with to other applicants. </p>

<p>Your credentials are really strong – no real weaknesses are apparent.</p>

<p>GPA is about average for NU, Standardized tests are above average. ECs are fine. So, you application puts you in the group from which NU (or any other college you apply to, for that matter) chooses its class. </p>

<p>Statistically, it looks good, but as Blackwolf says – these days, you’re never 100%. </p>

<p>You knew all this before you asked, right?</p>
