<p>My NU supplement essay: I pretty much said how I already knew NU was a rigorous school but everyone already knows that, so I talked about other stuff. I emphasized that the outside-of-classroom activities made me want NU above other prestigious schools.</p>

<p>I felt pretty good about myself until I came to this site and saw all of you amazing people.. <em>sigh</em></p>
