Chances for northwestern? PLEASE HELP!!!

<p>Ok, I'm really worried because my junior year wasn't the best. I had a lot of family issues and extenuating circumstances. Overall my cumulative UW gpa is a 3.8 and my cumulative weighted gpa is a 4.5. When it comes to my first semester junior year UW gpa it's a 3.3. I've had a 4.0 and 3.9 my previous years. My weighted is a 4.6 for junior year. I'm aiming for a 30+ on the act. If I do these things do I have a shot at NW Early Descion? I really want to attend and I'm trying for a 3.9-4.0 second semester of this year (jr. yr).</p>

<p>Is there anything else I can do? I also go to a really selective high school. Are there any other selective schools that I still have a chance at (UChicago, NYU, U-Michigan, Emory)??</p>
