also extremely frustated, but for a different reason

<p>so many kids at my school are applying to NU.. most of them are the elite of the class
last year 6 applied, and only one got in, a HPME person
now, i want to go to NU a lot. like, it's my 2nd choice (was deferred ED elsewhere)
and i know most of these people applying will attend .. if they're not given a "better" option
i don't want all that competition. i dunno, i really want to go to NU. any humongous resources/huge advice to help me out/ help me get an edge?</p>

<p>oh, also... what can i call my adcom about to make me more.. remembered.. ?</p>

<p>Diddo. I know how you're feeling here, too. I know of someone in my class that's also applying to NU (I'm sure there are more, but I just don't have names). She goes to an accelerated high school with me and is also involved in sports. I actually think she's an awesome person and would do very well here (I won't be surprised if she gets accepted). However, it's still tormenting me because I keep thinking that the adcoms are going to say that she's a better match for their school than I am. Oh well, I guess we just have to deal with the competition (It'd be cool if we both get accepted).</p>
