Thanks!

A 2140 is better than a 32.

Regarding 2140 vs. 32, this - http://www.act.org/solutions/college-career-readiness/compare-act-sat/ - says they are exactly the same (have to look at CR and math together and then consider a 32 in English writing and compare it to a 740 on the writing portion of the SAT). Anyway, they are extremely similar scores.

Bump?

I think you have a good chance at these school (Northwestern, even ED, may be a little bit of a reach), but other than that you are good. Your test scores/APs do help make up for your GPA a little, and the upward trend will help as well, however if you do have a good solid reason for the poor grades early on make sure your guidance counselor mentions it. That may really help. But other than that, I don’t think you should worry, your ECs are good! Good luck!
