I’d say that you are strongly competitive at Northwestern and UPenn. Admittedly, with schools of this caliber, it is difficult to provide a surefire admissions estimate as they evaluate a multitude of highly intellectual and competitive students. However, I certainly think that you have a relatively strong chance at these schools. NYU and Fordham are virtually a guaranteed acceptance in my opinion with your stats and extracurriculars.

you know that NU only took scores for SAT II up till october right?

5

Yes, but at the same time, realize that SAT II scores submitted from a December sitting wouldn’t arrive at Northwestern until after admission decisions have been released.

You already did your essays and letters even though you are a junior? Either way, I think you are a very strong applicant!
