<p>I think you have a great shot! My only advice would be to maybe increase that ACT score because Northwestern’s minimum is generally a 32 so a higher score would put you past the border. Have fun at the summer program and try to get some good contacts!</p>

<p>Hey, quick question. Is it worth it to take SAT subject tests in October? I’m thinking about it but I don’t know if I want to stress myself out about it while trying to focus on college apps as well. Please let me know what you think!</p>
