3

<p>id say u ahve a 50% shot</p>

4

<p>and i - the non-borther say 30%</p>

5

<p>hmm i was expecting 40ish but i can see both ways</p>

6

<p>well if you take the average of the two, 40% :). but yeah I'd say its a coin flip.</p>

7

<p>wow seriously. CRAPPPP if i get in early decision..that will be such a huge relief...</p>

8

<p>next frdiay T_T ; (</p>

<p>i don;t think northwestern takes 50% of all eders but close to that =D
unweighted gpa, sat 2, and sat 1 (nw count sat 1 writing as a sat 2) is kind of weak...but gl anyhow =D</p>

<p>I think you could get deferred. Remember, just because 50% might get admitted under EA, doesn't mean its easier. Usually, this is where the high rollers apply and admissions boards are usually more conservative during this time.</p>

11

<p>oh really? I heard schools lower standards during Early decision</p>

12

<p>standards is not lowered its only because they factor in the fact that you want to go to their school so much hence ed. >< personally my school in the past 3 years did not have anyone accepted below a 3.6 but there is always an exception gl!</p>

Applicants who choose Early Decision send a strong, positive message to Northwestern. Given their high level of interest and overall academic and personal strength, the rate of admission for our Early Decision applicants is higher than our overall admit rate. We do not make a practice of deferring Early Decision applicants into our Regular Decision plan.

That's straight from the website. There really is no point asking your chances at this point. You are going to find out your decision very soon. I know you want a confidence boost, but there is no need to keep bumping your thread.</p>

<p>My opinion on your chances...your scores are within range, but your GPA is below average. However, that may be because your school is very tough...what is your class rank?</p>

<p>i have no idea my shcool donest rank..but our school is ranked 80 in California</p>
