<p>Just curious, what do you think your chances are and why? What do you perceive as your strengths and weaknesses.</p>

<p>I would say weakness- Reading on the SAT, maybe Freshman rigor of schedule. Strength- Overall grades, ECs, and dedication to what I want to do and Northwestern</p>

<p>Thanks, was curious as to the self assessment. </p>

<p>I agree that the Reading SAT is a bit low for NU. I’d be less concerned with the rigor of Freshman Schedule if the last three years were strong.</p>

<p>Chances – the best I can say, is that I think you should apply. NU looks at the whole application. Your ECs seem to fit in well with why you would want to go Medill. That being said, for strong candidates, it’s really impossible to predict.</p>

<p>Good luck</p>
