<p>I really hope that those are good enough for NU but my grades arent fully there and i was looking at the NU site and it said like 90% of their students are in the top 5% of their class and im definately not there...
if it helps at all ive got some legacy at NU too. My Dad went there for grad school, my there right now working on his masters, my cousins there also in his sr. year. dunno if this is kinda stretching it but a bunch of my aunts+uncles (really cousins once removed) went there also, but i dont think NU will care about that.</p>

<p>My Rec's are pretty good and ive been working my ass off on my essays for the past couple of months. still need some work on the supplement though.</p>

<p>THANK YOU! seriously thanks to all the people who actually read this and give their opinion... even if they think my chances are pretty low</p>

<p>bump
someone please chance me :-(</p>

<p>why is it you do not think you stand a chance??</p>

<p>I would say that you do.<br>
You may want to take the SAT again and try to raise up your CR and W score though, because thats dragging you down. Even if you raise it 50 points each, you get a 2200 and thats a big difference.</p>

<p>And senior year GPA DOES count, its just the second half that doesnt. </p>

<p>and lastly good luck</p>

<p>thanks a bunch!
anyone else?</p>
