3.7 unweighted/ 4.28 weighted gpa GOOD ENOUGH FOR NORTHWESTERN EARLY DECISION?

i know a ton of factors go into admissions but in general:

how good of a chance do i have with an UNweighted 3.7/weighted 4.28 for northwestern early decision?

my ACT is 32 and i have a strong extra curric background...
let's say i do a killer app and i'm strong in all aspects of admissions factors besides my gpa (which i do admit, is pretty mediocre for northwestern)
what are my chances of getting in?

I'm happy to chance you, but can you chance me too?
Please chance me ... I'd really really appreciate it!

Thanks!

Anyways, your ACT is very good - puts you in the Northwestern range. Your GPA is a tad low, but you can make up for it with good ECs and essays.

Chance:
Northwestern ED - reach

Make sure you have some safeties. You can also apply RD so that you can improve your app if you'd like.
