<p>I think you have a pretty good chance. It’s a little tough to say given that you’re not very specific about some things, like your SAT scores. If your score is around 2100, then I’d consider Northwestern to be a definite reach school for you. The same applies with your SAT II scores. It sounds like you have good extracurriculars and good grades though. So I’d say your chances are fairly good, but nothing is guaranteed. You’ll find out soon enough. Good luck!</p>

<p>CHILL!!!
You are in the large group of competitive applicants for whom it could go either way.
The decisions are about to come out. Why the heck are you asking (4 times in 2 days, with repeated “bumps”) on this page when you are about to get the only answer that matters?
You will know soon enough. You are clearly a bright kid who will likely have some nice choices.
Good luck to you!</p>
