“Quaecumque sunt vera”
At a glance
Northwestern University is a Extreme Reach school on our readiness map — that label describes how demanding the preparation is for international-school applicants, not an admission probability.
Based in Evanston, Illinois (US Top 50, US News 2026 #7 per US News 2026 National Universities), it reviews both AP and A-Level curricula, so the question is not which system you study but how strong your core-subject evidence is.
The benchmarks and admit-case chart below come from anonymized application records of Chinese international-school students, aggregated with percentile ranges to protect every individual case.
Requirements and next steps
Eligibility pending review. A readiness score does not confirm admission eligibility.
Official sources and scope

Ranges use P25/P75 percentiles instead of extremes so a single outlier cannot skew the picture. These cases are not the full applicant population and cannot estimate admission odds.
