<p>It's probably a slight reach because your app doesn't stand out that much, but maybe they will really like you essay and you will get in. By the way, a class of 125 isn't a large public school.</p>

3

<p>The good news is that you may be the only applicant in history to Northwestern University who has won the "Best Marcher" award. Great AP scores & stellar class rank.</p>

<p>fyi: 125 is the number of students in the IB program.
there are over 400 in the senior class.
sorry! that wasnt clear.</p>

5

<p>what is your superscore sat, or is your second sat your highest?....</p>

<p>The only thing I see right now, is a slightly lower than average sat scores for northwestern....other than that your other stuff looks okay....Good Class rank...</p>

<p>Chances are probably a slight/low reach......</p>

<p>I'd say you've got a good shot, honestly. Statistically, I probably shouldn't have been admitted, I had a worse class rank and only a slightly better sat score. However, ECs and my statement I think made a huge impact on my app, I'm a big fan of a tastefully funny statement---which it sounds like you have. Scores aren't everything at NU, it sounds like you're pretty well rounded and definitely have a personality, which they look for.</p>
