<p>I'd say you don't have the best chances ever, but you're obviously very involved, and have attended summer programs at NU before, both of which are very important. With visits and contacts with the University, a killer essay, and perhaps an ED app (if you can/want to), you definitely stand a shot. Good luck! (people have gotten in with 2.5 GPAs too, so scores/grades aren't everything!)</p>
<p>that's kind of disturbing. but did those people get in based on atheletic scholarships? that would make sense. but i really don't think i have the best chances getting into NU, especially because i'm from out of state.</p>
<p>The truth is, NU standards are incredibly high, and when I referred to a lower GPA, those were students with outstanding accomplishments in one or more areas...the point I was trying to make was that NU admissions are very holistic, and are not solely focused on grades. Many factors go into accepting a student, so if your grades/test scores aren't stellar, pour your energy into the other parts of your app. </p>
<p>As for out of state, I think they are always trying to get new people from around the country...they don't want a school filled with Illinois natives...</p>
<p>For some perspective, I'm from NH, got a 1460 on SATs, and was number 25 in a class of 360. I was accepted ED. And my extracurrics were not nearly as strong as yours.</p>
