<p>What is your UW GPA?</p>

3

<p>i actually have no idea but i messed around with some numbers and came up with a guess of 3.4 uw...
what do you think? too far of a reach? advice?</p>

4

<p>it's a reach for sure, might as well apply otherwise you'll never know (i love northwestern but i still regret not applying to brown, dartmouth, or georgetown because now i'll never know if i would have gotten in)</p>

<p>A 3.4 would make Northwestern a REACH. Good scores, but I've seen people who have had low GPA's and high scores get rejected a lot. Still apply though!</p>
