<p>Clearly he meant white males. Duh.</p>

<p>Scores are weak. Grades and core academics are strong. Your EC's make me wonder: Everyone lists MUN and whatnot, but considering your huge number of other things, I somehow doubt the depth of involvement with any of them...</p>

<p>You're above the threshold where they throw away your application, but you're definitely not sure to get in either. Good luck!</p>

<p>your stats are ok. 32 is a good score for NU. 800 on mathII is good and another one over 750 will look good.
somebody said that ur overabundance of EC's looks fishy. i agree. i don't see any real focus. ur all over the place. don't just put a bunch of clubs cuz u think it'll look good. right good essays and u have a decent shot. right now, low reach</p>
