Hi SternBronco-the admission counselor for the territory that contains your school should be aware of the performance of your school–that is part of their job. I would tend to think that coming from an underperforming school might help you. (I don’t see where you don’t mention your grades. Am I correct in assuming they are good as well?) It might help you also with the 630 in math (which is a good score, BTW, but you are right, it is not terribly high for a school like NU)–as they might take into account that your preparation for the SAT would not have been the same as someone who comes from a competitive HS, where students are encouraged to prep, prep, prep!

Good luck to you wherever you land. You sound like you have a very bright future ahead of you!
