<p>Honestly, I think you'll get deferred and get the chance too boost your SAT. If you don't you will likely be rejected, if you do (over a 2100) you have a decent shot.</p>

<p>Sorry, I don't think you have a reasonable chance for ED. The scores just aren't high enough, and the EC's are probably slightly below average for Northwestern. Like the previous poster said, you will have a better chance if you can raise your SAT scores to about 1400+ (old format). I still think it will be difficult for you considering how competitive NW is.</p>

<p>The other thing that might help would be to take the Math IIC in January - if you are in AP Calc now it would just take a bit of review. Then, if you are deferred, you would have that for RD.</p>

<p>I seem to recall reading that Northwestern doesn't defer. I hope I am wrong though.</p>

6

<p>Sorry, but I don't think you'll get in ED :(</p>

<p>If there is no deferring than sorry it won't work out.</p>

<p>Having a GPA: 3.86/ACT: 30/SAT: 1910 is nothing to sneeze at! It's just that Northwestern is very competitive. Where else are you looking?</p>

<p>Thanks guys. No they do not defer and that is why I agree I most likely wont get in.
I am also applying to University of Chicago, UofM, Cornell, Boston College, NYU, and Boston University.</p>

<p>Thanks for your help</p>

<p>did u get in?</p>

11

<p>just from admissions statistics (i am applying to NW next year) you will definitely want to raise your Math IIC score.... UChicago should be a match, if you don't get in to NW. Best of luck though! NW admits 64% of kids who have between a 29 and a 32...so my input is with ur GPA, you might get in. dunno really though its a tough school</p>

12

<p>hmm...whats the stats?</p>

<p>i just got into NORTHWESTERN...i can help you out</p>

13

<p>hmmm where do u live? what do u do during your summers? how r ur ap scores?</p>

<p>Might want to look at some SAT optional schools like Holy Cross or Bowdoin. HC has a Jan.15 deadline and nice campus-1 hour from Boston. Bowdoin may be a little more difficult.</p>
