<p>not so great man, i’d say a huge reach. unless you raise your act score to a 32 at the least, northwestern seems to be out of reach for you.</p>

<p>I think it’s unlikely that you can improve your ACT score enough to be a strong contender.
That doesn’t mean you shouldn’t apply, if you really love NU; it just means that you need to compile a good list of schools to which you will apply, with most of them being more realistic for you than NU.
Good luck.</p>
