<p>How have you done on AP tests taken to date? Which ones are you taking this year?
Your SATs are a bit low for NU, so I’d recommend using the ACT score, which is a bit better.</p>

<p>Well the AP tests I took my junior year were Span. Lang (5), Eng. Lang (5), and AP US History (5). This year my AP classes are: AP Calculus AB, AP Government, AP Eng. Lit, AP Biology, and AP Spanish Lit. I’m planning on submitting both my ACT and SAT scores.</p>

<p>Your curriculum and GPA are fine. Your SATs slightly low, while ACT is well within the admit range. APs and Subject Test scores are strong. Your ECs are a bit narrow, so you should play up the depth of your commitment (and, presumably, the hefty time commitment) to the competitive diving.
Good luck.</p>
