<p>I’d say you have a pretty good shot if you go ED, it’s supposed to help at NU.</p>

3

<p>Thanks username! I’m mainly worried about the GPA…do you think they’d overlook it if I apply ED/show lots of interest?</p>

4

<p>I talked to someone at NU (came to my school) and said ED gives a good advantage. Your UW GPA is low, but you have a great ACT and pretty good W along with some ECs so I say you have a solid chance.</p>

5

<p>Hahaha “some” ECs? Do you think they’re at all impressive?</p>

6

<p>Will I get killed in RD?</p>

7

<p>I wouldn’t say killed. Obviously your GPA is the weak part, but still solid. Your ACT is great though. I’d if you apply ED you are in, if not 50/50 chance. </p>

<p>raza, what are my chances RD?</p>

10

<p>Good essay with RD will get you in. I had a 3.71 UW.</p>

11

<p>^ When did you apply? Like how long ago?</p>

12

<p>You have no SATII’s? Did u take the SAT? But anyway you are solid for ED, iffy for RD.</p>

13

<p>ED - you’re in, probably. I’d be surprised if you weren’t.</p>

<p>SAT IIs… Do you have them?</p>

<p>I’m taking Math II, Physics, & Chem in Oct…gonna get all 800s.</p>

<p>I did take the SAT…we’re gonna pretend that never happened.</p>

<p>Define “iffy”</p>

16

<p>iffy means ur probably in but not a guarantee</p>

17

<p>Haha, I say the same thing about my SAT scores- never happened</p>

18

<p>I applied…last year. I’m an incoming freshman. McCormick is slightly easier as well.</p>

19

<p>McCormick is slightly easier to get in than the others??</p>
