<p>great course load, URM… good shot</p>

<p>Your GPA, ACT and SATIIs are all competitive but not super strong for NU.
It’s not clear how strong your ECs will be viewed as being; they’re definitely not among the stronger set. For how many years have you been doing the 4 hrs/week in the ER and 5 hrs/month on Saferides?
That being said, I probably concur with Glenny that being a URM you might have a good chance.
Good luck.</p>

<p>I got in with a 31 ACT, yet that was ED. As long as your essays are solid, I believe you have a very good chance.</p>
