<p>Ehhh... this one's tough. If you were applying ED, I'd say extremely high chance. Unfortunately, for regular decision you SAT I scores in CR and Writing are a little low for NU. EC's look great, just make sure to do great on the essay and be convincing on the statement.</p>

<p>Honestly, I'd take the SAT again, or try your hand at the ACT. </p>

<p>Unfortunately, I'm going to have to go 50/50 right now. Best of luck though</p>
