<p>I think i have pretty good ECs but not a lot of leadership things.
My grades arent’ THAT great but i hope i can get into ED. </p>

<p>Do you guys think i have a chance?</p>

<p>The way you have presented your ECs and leadership, I would say you have very good representation in both. Your CR is a tiny bit low, but personally I think you have a good chance at NU…my friend is there with much less impressive ECs and similar stats.</p>

<p>fantastic chances for international</p>

<p>A lot would depend on the strength of international applicant pool, esp. the subset from Hong Kong. Your IB scores are okay but not spectacular; the SAT I and SAT II math (if >750 as projected) scores would help compensate the 5 on IB. Your ECs are pretty good. ED would definitely help, esp. for internationals.</p>
