<p>If your recs and essays are irresistible, I’d say admit.</p>

<p>Btw, I’m starting an autism awareness group on campus as well as a Walk for Autism team (our goal is to make participation in this Walk a yearly event). We could certainly use your publicity/web design skills!</p>

<p>your ECs are good, i’d agree with sanjen when he said if your essays and recs are good, you’re in. Otherwise your ACT/class rank are within “acceptable” range but won’t be a selling point</p>

6

<p>agree with all the above. ACT/rank are pretty weak but not too low for Northwestern. Your ECs look great so just hope your essays and recs were good enough to push you through. I think you’ve got a fair shot.</p>

<p>zdub…lol. It’s hard!</p>
