Very strong ACT and very strong grades. I wouldn’t call you a lock for two reasons: first, no one is a lock and with the new Dir. of Admissions of Princeton in town, he will likely be sure to reject those he fears will not come to Evanston if invited. If NU has reason to believe you will attend another school (Duke, UPenn, Columbia…yes, I perused your other posts), then you might get a surprise small envelope.
Second, your ECs are lacking. It looks like a laundry list and there appears to be no rhyme or reason for your activities. If the person reviewing your app cannot SEE you on campus, being a productive student (and having a high GPA alone is insufficient), then you also might not get in.
Overall, I’d say you have an excellent chance, but the very high stats and haphazard ECs mean you are behind the 8 ball in showing demonstrated interest and an identity.
