<p>Very low chance with that ACT. Your GPA is fine and so are your ECs, but obviously your standardized test scores leave something to be desired. It’s a tad of a reach.</p>

<p>Oh believe me I’m completely aware that it’s a reach for me :stuck_out_tongue: I just don’t test well for some reason. I know that’s not a good excuse, but it’s too bad that standardized tests are so seriously considered, because I know that I could handle Northwestern if accepted. It’s just a matter of getting in!</p>

<p>I wish you the best of luck. Your stats are similar to mine, but that SAT score may be a deal breaker.</p>

<p>I know it’s definitely a weakness for my application. Well I guess we’ll know in a few weeks! Thanks and good luck to you too.</p>
