This thread has made me think more about northwestern and honestly, I never really put much thought into it. I always thought I could go there if things didn’t work out the way I wanted them to,



Northwestern is not a backup or safety school, if that is what you are suggesting.

I think you vastly underestimate the competitiveness of college admissions overall.

Having said that, if you want to act (which it sounds like you do–your passion is evident), you are not going to make much money when you graduate. If I were you I would look at liberal-arts colleges where it is easy to combine a theater major with something “practical.” Muhlenberg comes to mind. If you are the level of student you say you are, you might get merit aid–which would help you and your family if you need support when you graduate and go to NY or LA to try to make it big. :)
