<p>Assuming you are in the top 1 to 3% of your class and applying ED, you have a great shot (of course, you must show a very keen interest in NU by your essays and your recco. letters should be superior). Good Luck!</p>

<p>You will be a highly competitive candidate.
Good luck.</p>

<p>Your academic stats are better than mine across the board. ECs are comparable. I got in. So it’s very definitely possible.</p>

<p><em>insert obligatory remark about applying ED</em> But it is something to consider–any college that offers an early decision application is more likely to accept the same candidate ED than they are RD.</p>

<p>Like NUDad said, interest is important. And if you’re interested, then you should definitely apply. Something about missing all the shots you don’t take, or something. Take the cliche of your choice.</p>

<p>You should definately apply. If NU is your number 1 choice, consider ED.</p>
