Since the RD round is highly competitive, your chances are probably slightly higher than the overall acceptance rate because you are slightly above the average applicant to NU (which is pretty good!). It is very hard to predict these things just because of the really low acceptance rate in the RD round, but it seems like you are very well qualified and it will all come down to who reads your application and luck. If you wrote a good why NU essay, your chances will be slightly higher too. Best of luck!

You’re a strong candidate however you look at it, but I suspect that as a woman with your academic credentials applying to McCormick, you’ve got a great shot.
Good luck; NU is a terrific place to go to college!
