<p>what do you guys think? Thanks :)</p>
<p>please help? anyone?
just a rough guess is fine</p>
<p>I’m similar to you. I have pretty much the same GPA, equal if not slightly lower test scores, and a greater variety of activites. I’m applying ED, too.</p>
<p>Since I obviously haven’t been accepted yet, I would say to demonstrate as much interest as possible, write stellar essays, and get recs that show different aspects of your character.</p>
<p>You’re boarderline, could go either way</p>
<p>Not impossible, but borderline at best. Other than math, your scores are quite weak for NU (and even math isn’t overwhelming).<br>
I think your ECs are pretty good.
No AP Calc? That seems to be missing, especially for a good math student. It’s great that you’re taking a lot of APs, but Psych and Stat are not considered among the harder ones (or even English).<br>
If I had to guess, assuming a really good essay and strong recommendations, I wouldn’t put your ED odds at better than 30%. So it’s possible, but not probable.
Good luck!</p>
<p>no i took AP Calc AB junior year
but thanks!
if my sat II scores were to increase would increase. say bio-700, math- 750, would that help? but if they ended up still being poor, and i just turned in my act instead (30) how would that affect my chances. thanks so much!</p>
<p>Couldn’t you have taken BC Calc this year? Going from AB as a junior to just taking stat as a senior is not impressive.
As for the possible board scores, I don’t think that would materially improve your chances, but obviously any improvement helps in such a competitive applicant pool.</p>
