I go to a really small, unknown school in northern Illinois. A few of my classmates have applied to Northwestern, and a few attend, but my school is pretty low-performing in comparison to a lot of the better schools in this area (ie, Stevenson and New Trier). I took SAT IIs and did somewhat poorly, but my college advisor told me to submit them anyway. It may show a little bit of interest and adhesion to the schools “recommendations,” but I feel like sending them may have decreased my chances.
