Thanks!

pretty high reach for you.

Our school is the top school in the state, and being in the top 100 is considered pretty good. What else would go into my chances of making it a reach? Students at my school have been accepted with a lower SAT as well.

Your SAT score will hold you back a tiny bit. But I believe your GPA is on target to make up for your SAT. After reviewing the admitted freshmen class profile, I’d give you a 30-40% of acceptance.

Your SAT is very weak, but depending on your background it could mean something different. Good luck!

NU has an admission rate below 10% this year. With near 25th percentile SAT score, the chance cannot be more than 10% at all.

Thank you to all for responding! Billscho, what do you believe would benefit my application? I have very good ECs and sports activities. Thanks for you input.

You are not even in the top 10%. Pretty close to being out of reach.

@billcsho What would my application need to be a better applicant? I have had kids at my school get in to NU with 1200s-1300s SAT scores. Thanks
