<p>Ok I am wondering what a typical applicant is like for here ? I dont want any of the super perfect applications all I want to know if what is the TYPICAL applicant ???</p>
<p>I have a 3.7 uw and a 2300 SAT score. I would consider myself competitve (at least I would like to think so) - I’m certainly not a lock, but my statistics aren’t eyesores either. I expect that my decision will hinge on the marginal factors like interviews/ec’s/all that stuff.</p>
<p>Interviews almost never make or break you.</p>
<p>2300 SATs are very strong. A 3.7 GPA is very competitive but not overwhelming at NU.</p>
<p>However, essays and ECs can have a big effect. AdComs are trying to build a college class, and in so doing they look for interesting pieces to the puzzle. So the question will often come down to how interesting a contribution to the class they would expect you to make (assuming you have the numbers). There is no such thing as “typical” in that respect.</p>
