Northwestern ED is actually more competitive than RD because of the scholarship. I don't know how much of a chance you have either way given your splitter status. You should apply broadly in the t20.

Chances at the t14 don't look awesome, but UVA, Duke, and NW look like worthy reach schools (plus maybe NYU and Penn, just to maximize odds). I'd consider the lower t20, where your numbers would net you acceptance and even scholarships. As above poster said, because you're a splitter, you should apply broadly.

Thank you. Definitely will apply broadly it seems. Hoping I can work some magic with Northwestern but who knows what will happen this upcoming cycle.
