<p>Exceptional everything, so Northwestern is a match, maybe a slight high match due to the natural selectiveness of it</p>

<p>NU has an acceptance rate of 12.9% last year. It would not be a match for anyone. OP’s CR reading score is rather weak (below 25th percentile) and that would hurt the chance. It should be a low reach to reach.</p>

<p>Low reach just because it’s such a selective school but you have a great chance of getting in! Goodluck!</p>

<p>@billcsho do you think because my other areas are very strong, I did everything NU I could in high school, and my ECs are very relevant to what i want to do, can overlook the reading score? Also, what do you mean by OPs?
Thanks</p>

<p>OP means original poster which is you on this thread. Note that NU is a very competitive schools and most applicants would have great scores, GPA, EC, etc. Whoever got admitted with a certain score below 25th percentile must have something really spectacular to compensate that and it is already reflected in the statistic with lower chance.</p>

<p>Hi! I think you have an OUTSTANDING chance. Everythinglooks on point.</p>

<p>I applied (and was accepted) to NU last year. I know that for them, the essays are big. If you would like someone to look over your common app and why NU essay before submission, I’d be glad to. I am a freshman at Penn in the middle of midterms, so I am not taking any other essay reviewing requests, but you should much promise, and I’d love to help. Let me know if you’d like my help!</p>
