Chances for northwestern pls!

<p>Chances please!</p>

<p>Attends large, fairly competitive public high school.
SAT: 2290 (760Math, 730CR, 800 Writing)
Top 4% of class (27/700)
Strong Recs and a variety of good ECs.</p>

<p>I realize chancing is subjective but anyone have any input? </p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>Your numbers are competitive (i.e., they will be similar – perhaps slightly better – than most of the students who are accepted to NU). Beyond that with the miniscule acceptance rates for schools in this tier, nothing is guaranteed.</p>

<p>(BTW, I’d pretty much say the same if you asked this question about any of the top 25 or so schools).</p>

<p>It comes down to how you distinguished yourself among thousands of applicants who are similarly academically qualified. I have seen students with your profile rejected ED. On the other hand, there are other ED applicants with both lower and higher numbers admitted. RD is even less predictable.</p>

<p>Once you pass the threshold for consideration, your ethinicity plays an important role.</p>
