<p>Everyone’s chances are uncertain, but I’m going to have to disagree with SAY. I think for NU you have as good a chance as most people do with NU (especially with a higher score that you’re hoping for on the SAT). However, for the other schools, your parents should rethink their pushing for it, because for the top schools like MIT and Princeton it’s a crapshoot normally, and your SAT CR+M will still not be the top most likely. Plus, NU has more variety, and the more you’ve experienced, the better you’ll come out of college.</p>
