<p>Everything you list is fine, but unexceptional by NU standards.<br>
Where are you from? What’s the breakdown on your SATs? What’s your UNweighted GPA, and where does it put you in your class? Do you have any “hook”? Are you in a leadership role in any organization? Which APs have you already taken and what is the breakdown on your scores?</p>
<p>^^^ This
10 char.</p>
<p>Your stats aren’t bad at all, but like WCASParent said, it’s nothing new to NU. Plenty of people who apply will have stats more or less the same as yours, and there are people with perfect test scores and unweighted GPA’s with crazy amounts of volunteer hours, EC’s, and leadership positions that still get rejected.
You need to make yourself stand out beyond what’s on paper. My advice to you would be to spend a considerable amount of time putting together a golden essay. </p>
<p>At the end of the day NU needs to see a PERSON with a legitimately genuine interest in their school who has ambitions and can bring something to the table.
Make yourself seem worth the investment.</p>
<p>What school at NU are you thinking about? What major?</p>
