<p>The reason no one is replying is that you've simply been posting "chances"? threads at a number of different school's forums...I'm sure your guidance counselor/research/common sense has given you some idea of your chances at these schools, so why do need us to confirm it for you? There's a reason behind that "What are my chances" forum...post there instead. You'll get more replies. </p>

<p>To be nice: as to your chances, you're fine as you probably know. Not necessarily a shoe-in, but few people are. College admissions at these top schools are always a crapshoot, so you're not a definite either way. But if you think that Northwestern is a great match for you, by all means apply. Best of luck.</p>
