Congratulations on your achievements.
I can’t chance you for NU, and agree with thumper about the financial considerations. After the $27K in student loans, the remaining loans would be on your parents either directly or as co-signers. For this reason, I encourage you to not apply to NU ED, and look at schools where you would can get merit aid and not have graduate with more than $27K in loans.
You can go into management consulting after undergrad from many schools. The MBB firms do hire from prestigious schools, but there are some grads from IU Kelley and UWisconsin too. Beyond MBB there are many other consulting firms as well, which provide good jobs and good salaries.
This is bad advice. OP, your job is meaningful, so no need to stop doing that, it will not hurt your application at all. Are you working 28 hours per week to help with family expenses?
