2210 SAT
@TheStudent7591 Your SAT is competitive for Northwestern. But you also have to take your GPA, essays, and ECs into consideration. Especially since NU RD is going to be very competitive this year.
SAT by itself doesn’t mean much unless it is backed up by solid stats overall.
The SAT shows that you definitely are in the range of NU, but you will need good grades, diverse or highly specialized ECs, and strong essays if you want to have a shot at getting in. In general grades are moderately > than ECs, and often how you are able to communicate yourself and interest through your essays really is what’s the tiebreaker between applicants and has to make you standout, given the moderately sized pool of qualified candidates from the initial 30,000 kids that apply RD for the 1,000 available spots in next years incoming class.
