<p>your scores and ECs etc. at the moment will probably get you in. I had about the same as you and got in too. but since you’re interested in business, northwestern might not be for you cause they don’t offer a business major/program. the closest thing you’ll get to business at NU is their business institutions minor.</p>

<p>NU is hard to get into, so there is no probably. Your stats look good, but with a ~13% acceptance rate there is no sure thing. That’s not a hook either. A hook is something that basically gives you a special mark. Diversity, legacy, etc, not a, admittedly very interesting EC. You have pretty good chance, but you need to apply to safeties and matches that will financially and academically suit you.</p>

<p>Lolilolololol is wrong though. They may not offer a business program, but that by no means NU isn’t right for you. They have certificates, a great Economics program, and a great business school. Plenty of people get into business through NU, and they know how to handle business students.</p>
