<p>Sorry bud, extremely unlikely - your SAT scores are simply too low. Even if you were to get in, you’d be competing against a lot of people who may be beyond your caliber. Focus your efforts on lower tier schools.</p>

<p>harsh RisingSun. But yes the scores are low. You need really REALLY good essays. you have good scores when it comes to spanish though. are u a native of a spanish speaking country? because that could help you out</p>

<p>Regrettably, I must agree with RisingSun.</p>

<p>Oh man… You are SO solid if it weren’t for the damn SATI (I hate the ACT and SAT LOL). I think you should retake either the SAT or ACT if NU allows you send in January scores for RD (I’m not sure if they do). I wish you luck! And I second wangatang. If you are of Hispanic descent, you should have a slightly better chance, but nothing that would justify an SAT lower than 2000-2100+.</p>

<p>^^ ???ALL of the non-Spanish test scores (i.e., SAT2s and APs) are too low for NU.</p>

<p>Yes, english is my second language
im from a Hispanic background.
i will try to retake the SAT’s my ACT
score was 27 though, is that any better??</p>

<p>I do hate to agree with WCASParent because your scores are very low. A 27 is even extremely low for NU. I think you should still apply because you do not want to NOT apply and never truly know. I also think that it would be healthy for you to not get your hopes up too high (as bad as that sounds).</p>
