<p>Koala,
My son was just admitted with stats just slightly lower than yours!! He loves it there, but finds it challenging.</p>

<p>Glad to hear that.
Did you son apply to Engineering?
How was his GPA?
I'm a bit worried about my GPA. My school is very competitive. Hope NU knows that. I know my GPA is not bad and maybe my SAT score can help but not sure if they will throw away if my GPA is not good enough for Engineering.</p>

<p>I went to Northwestern debate camp. My essay is all about Engineering and Northwestern.</p>

<p>thanks!

<p>Yes, Koala, my son applied to Engineering and was accepted for that major. His weighted GPA was about 4.0 - maybe a big higher.</p>
