<p>abdulk- first, you don’t need calc to do well on the SAT. Niether do you need it for the SAT II. I didn’t have it and I did fine. Let me just caution you about ED to Northwestern. You seem like a competitive candidate but in the ED pool, schools like to take students with top standardized test scores so that their schoolwide averages of academics increase. That being said, your low scores put you in jeopardy of not being accpeted. That being said, Northwestern is one of the very few schools that doesn’t deffer. They either admit or reject. That means if you don’t get a “yes” on dec. 15, you won’t be attending NU. If you want to risk it, be my guest. I would suggest applying RD and trying to improve scores and write some good essays.</p>
