<p>A couple of thoughts --</p>
<p>What have you done with your free time since you’ve come here? It looks as if you have continued with tae kwan do, volunteered and played varsity soccer. That’s not bad from the EC side.</p>
<p>APs – why haven’t you taken more. If it’s because you were a transfer student and it wasn’t allowed, (be it lack of pre-recs or acclimation policies) I don’t think this is a problem. You should ask your GC to explain the situation.</p>
<p>The SAT’s are somewhat more troublesome. 1800 is very low for NU. As others have noted, even 2000 isn’t great.</p>
<p>Overall --I wouldn’t say your chances are great. To be honest, if you have another school where you have a significantly better shot that is close on your list, I might recommend considering that school for ED.</p>
<p>However – if NU is your dream, apply. There is nothing wrong (and quite a lot right) with applying to ‘reach’ schools. Just make sure that most of the schools you apply to are better matches and make sure to include safety schools.</p>
