<p>Your stats are certainly in the range for students that NU accepts. You should definitely apply.</p>

<p>You also have an extremely interesting and undoubtedly unique background, which should help.</p>

<p>However with NU (and every one of its peer institutions) it becomes a numbers game. Many students with your stats are accepted, many students with your stats are not. </p>

<p>I don’t know whether being Libyan helps or not either.</p>

<p>Good luck!!!</p>

<p>I think you have a good chance to get into Northwestern. However. HPME is very very very very hard to get into, even for 4.0 GPA valedictorians- ur volunteering helps though</p>

<p>Thanks for the feedback!
Trust me, I don’t have my hopes up for HPME, even though it is by far my top choice it is still a near 1% acceptance. </p>

<p>Anymore?</p>

5

<p>These are very strong stats (esp give your courseload) and you have a lot of relevant volunteering experiences for what you want to go into. You’re a strong candidate for sure.</p>
