Colleges and Universities A-Z Northwestern University

<p>Where else did you apply?</p>

<p>please indicate the schools that have turned your application down too, if possible. Thanks. :)</p>

2

<p>All of the Ivies except one. Emory. Georgetown SFS. SUNY Binghamton. I was accepted to SUNY honors, Emory and NU, with Waitlists at Cornell, Brown and SFS (which is actually harder to do then get in, statistically lol).</p>

<p>I did not pursue any waitlists.</p>

3

<p>so no one aside from arbiter213 has been accepted anywhere except NU???</p>

4

<p>Is this for Class of 2014?</p>

<p>I applied ED to Northwestern, RD to University of Washington, Washington State, Tulane, depending on Northwestern, I could possibly be applying to Vassar, Brown, Wellesley, Dartmouth, Cornell, or Stanford just because I want to see what happens…I’m hopeful and optimistic. </p>

<p>I got a pretty big scholarship to Washington State that I’m not going to take because the University of Washington is a much better school and I would rather go there.</p>

<p>Northwestern is my absolute number one choice…I hope everything works out well for me.</p>

5

<p>I turned down Michigan to attend Northwestern. </p>

<p>Now, I’m attending Michigan for graduate study.</p>

6

<p>I applied RD to NU, Augustana, Illinois Wesleyan University, Lake Forest College, Grinnell, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Princeton, Harvard, Yale, Dartmouth, Lawrence University, and Washington and Lee University. I have a feeling I’m forgetting one, but that’s all I can think of right now.</p>

<p>Accepted: NU, Augustana, Illinois Wesleyan, Lake Forest, Grinnell, U of I, Lawrence
Rejected: Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Dartmouth
Wait-listed: W & L (I sort of applied half-heartedly to this one, mostly only because it had the free application offer, and I sent in the application with some parts missing, and when I was wait-listed, I didn’t pursue it.)</p>

<p>If I remember that last college later on, I’ll add it…</p>

7

<p>You didn’t clarify what year- that was class of 2011 (HS 2007) for me.</p>

8

<p>applied to Northwestern, Harvard, Yale, Brown, Emory, UChicago, WashU, Rice.
accepted to Northwestern, Yale, Brown, Emory, UChicago, WashU, and Rice.
waitlisted Harvard but I still love it.
denied nowhere.</p>

<p>rc2814;
you applied to UW? I applied there, it’s my top school, but I have heard it is ridiculously hard to get into, so I’m very unsure. plus they take unweighted gpa which is really disappointing.</p>

<p>What kind of stats do you know about UW?</p>

<p>I have 3.4 weighted, 3.1 unweighted.
SAT is 1960
Reading: 650
Math: 650
Writing: 660
