<p>Get the ACT up, and you have a good chance. However, please note that the business major at northwestern is non - existent.</p>

<p>like maj said, up the ACT score just to make sure you make the "cut off." Otherwise you're just another run of the mill applicant to be honest. The only oppurtunity you have to separate yourself from the pack is through your essays and other supplementary material. Remember, it's the "story" that you convey that's most important. </p>

<p>Best of luck</p>

<p>Are you a permanent resident of the US? If not, I believe you'll be considered in the international pool, which would not be good for your chances.</p>

<p>Northwestern doens't have undergrad business major, but has something in economics i think.</p>
