<p>I had pretty good grades freshman sophomore year but junior year I ended up with A's B's and one C and it turns out this was because I had ADD. I've been on meds and I'm hoping it'll help with my concentration problems. If my grades go up this year would that make a difference? Is there some way I can explain this without making it seem like I'm making excuses. I've never felt more motivated to do whatever I possibly can to get into NU it's my dream school. I'm also a first generation if that makes a difference. If you have any advice please and thank you!</p>
<p>P.S. Should I apply early action? would it hurt my chances?</p>
