I think you have a good shot! But don’t be discouraged if you are deferred or rejected…NU is so selective nowadays. Although ED will be a very huge boost as NU accepts 50% of its class through ED.

But I think your ECs are good and are centered around your intended major.

Good luck!

Give it a try although your GPA is a bit low and test score is not outstanding either. It is a reach school anyway and you should try anything that may improve your chance.

NU doesn’t superscore.

@ew4colleges Northwestern does superstore the SAT:

We review test scores slightly differently between the ACT and the SAT. For students taking the ACT, we use the highest official composite score that you choose to report. For students taking the SAT, we will simply add together your highest scores in the Critical Reading and Math categories to make a higher total score. This is the only area in which we create a “superscore” for applicants. You may use Score Choice to select which official SAT scores we receive.
