<p>Are you a URM? Which school are you applying to? Because your test scores are a little low for the CAS.</p>

<p>Work on getting those test scores up. Across the board, it seems that your scores are on the low side. If you can get your scores up they will complement your athletic achievements nicely.</p>

<p>I think NU is a pretty big reach for you.</p>

<p>Higher test scores will help you, especially your math section. Its importance will depend on which school of Northwestern you are applying to.</p>

<p>Class rank and size?</p>
