<p>Possible? Yes. Unlikely? Yes.</p>

<p>Within reach, but still just that - a reach. Definitely possible, though you should make sure you’ve got some match/safety schools just in case.</p>

<p>EDIT: Unlike karajanhra, I wouldn’t say “unlikely”. Your SATs are around NU’s 50th percentile. 3.5 UW isn’t great, but the upward trend will help. Decent EC’s but nothing that really stands out. I say you’re probably around average for NU applicants. They have a ~27% acceptance rate, so keep that in mind.</p>

<p>What state are you from? Could be a boost if it is an under-represented state.</p>

<p>Hailing from NY; a smallish town though, definitly under represented area..</p>

<p>I appreciate the replies!</p>

<p>^ Unfortunately, NY is not considered an underrepresented state.</p>
