Hi guys. I’m applying to Northwestern ED, but i don’t have 2 subject tests. I only have 1 subject test (800-US History). ALSO i am not doing an interview. I was wondering how much these would hurt me. Here are the rest of my stats. Will I be okay with not another SAT II subject test and an interview for NU ED?
indian male, goes to a gold us news high school (i think it’s ranked somewhere in the 200s or 300s in the nation and top 10ish state public schools) in Texas. Also if it matters, i’m in the ~200k income bracket
Planning to apply as an economics major
ACT: 34 (34E, 34M, 32R, 34S, 33W)

US History- 800, will take math ii in nov. (very worried about this)
