I think you have a really good chance, especially considering that you’re applying for a Math major. With early decision and a variety of activities, I think you’ve greatly improved your chances. Your extracurriculars are a bit low, but since you have a good range and you’ve gone far in each of them, I think you have around a 50-60% of admission. Good luck!

3

Do you think the 3.6 GPA is not too low?
Many applicants are in the upper 3’s

4

I think your gpa is going to be an issue. Be sure to have match and safety schools on your list.

5

anything besides GPA seem out of line for a chance to NU?

6

UW seems a little low but other than that you seem pretty competitive noting that your essays are good
