Odds by score band
Northwestern University odds for a 3.5–3.7 unweighted GPA and a 25–27 ACT
Reach
A student with an unweighted GPA of 3.5–3.7 and an ACT of 25–27 applying to Northwestern University is in the Reach range. Northwestern University admits 7% of applicants, and the middle half of enrolled students submitted ACT scores of 33 to 35. At this band the estimate is about 1 in 100.
50% of enrolled first-years submitted an SAT score, 29% an ACT — these ranges describe students who submitted, not the whole class.
For this band, the estimate reads the middle of the band, an unweighted GPA of 3.6 and an ACT of 26, so a student's own numbers can land differently. It also weighs only the numbers; essays, activities and course rigor count too.
