<p>I think your chances are very good.
Your test scores are mostly excellent (yes, the SAT reading is a little low, but more borderline than poor, so I don't think it should be a problem). Your transcript is very strong, and your ECs are fine.
You have a really good shot.
Good luck!</p>

<p>It's great that you're good at sports, varsity always look really good on apps</p>

<p>However, your SAT is kind of low for NU, and your GPA is a reach. Usually, people at my school has to have a GPA of above 3.96 (with more than 8-10 AP classes) to go to places like NU
And another thing, I don't think that you took enough AP classes (depending on how many your school offers/allows)</p>
