Q: How did you wind up with a SAT of 1270?
Are you going to play Basketball at NU?

A: Does Not Matter! I think you are a lock with all your excellent ECs and class rank, plus APs...

IMHO - Start buying purple now...

It is stupid to call a school like NU "a lock" unless you have a 4.0/1600 and are an Intel finalist. Improve your SAT scores, you will have a good chance.

Thanks for all your comments! I have to admit, I became a little concerned after reading Newnudad's first two lines! Thanks again!
