To properly chance you for any UC school, we’d need to know your UC GPA.

With your current GPA and ACT, Northwestern is a reach-the ACT is at, and the GPA is below, their 25th percentile. In that range, you’d typically need to be a legacy or URM at the very least, but more likely a kid with two weak hooks (legacy, URM, special talent) or a very strong one (recruited athlete, alumni parents who are paying for a new library at the campus, a 1-in-100,000 EC or award).
