@seahawksjoe work hard on an upward trend in your gpa. I applied ED with a similar situation this year and will let you know if I am fortunate to get in; (3.4 uw freshman year due to family crisis, but had a 4.0 uw /4.8w both semesters of my junior year, applied with a cumulative 3.71 uw and 4.11 w, submitted a 35 ACT with my application (36/36/35/32 36(12)W). If you can, I would suggest trying to raise your ACT score by perhaps a point if you can (NU’s average is 34) as soon as possible, but of course, a 33 is pretty strong already. It’s good that you’re already deciding on where you want to go, so see if you can attend a NU campus tour sometime before you apply. Otherwise, best of luck! Know that there are others applying this year with similar stats!
