<p>@biggestsunsfan I see your point. Great advice, thank you and good luck to you too!</p>
<p>@NorthwesternDad Can you help?</p>
<p>Assuming you get a SAT score around 2250s range, you are still good. As regards your not so good raw scores, if you can explain the reasons for the same - it will help. Write a killer essay and get super recommendations. Good Luck!</p>
<p>Just wanna let you guys know that I’ve been accepted to Northwestern already! Thanks again for your input.</p>
<p>Congratulations! Welcome to Northwestern.</p>
<p>Great to hear @alafae. Congrats!</p>
<p>CONGRATULATIONS!!!
After so much turmoil and heartache about those midterm grades vs. actual results, YOU ARE GOING TO COLLEGE!!!
and not only that, but a TOP college… one you chose because you liked it best. And it liked you back just as much: 
Very happy for you.</p>
Bienen isn’t really a separate thing. They’ll review your musical abilities, but it’s still very difficult as all Bienen kids can transfer pretty easily to any other school.
You’re definitely a possibility, but NU admissions gets harder and harder with each year, so it’s never really something we can tell. I can’t give some percentage because I’d be pulling out straight out of my butt.
@Crimsonstained7 Thank you for your input, but like I posted in the previous comment, I’ve gotten accepted to both of the NU schools, so I guess I can stop worrying!
Thank you ppl anyhow! Esp @MYOS1634 Who’d been helping me so much all along; @NorthwesternDad , @ivyleaguefan
