<p>You obviously have challenged yhourself academically, and have depth in your ECs. Not every accepted applicant has perfect GPA/ranking. You have the added challenge of being female, where there are more applicants porportionately than there are male, and therefore competition for acceptance is keen. Do you feel NU has the best program in history/political science-if so-then apply. You have everything to gain-as NU is an AMAZING school..imho...</p>
