<p>You really give me hope! :) I hate how everyone is bashing your post just because they want to disprove how a "good but not excellent" student got into such an amazing school such as NU, haha. May I ask what was your weighted GPA (if your school weights?) I have a low GPA also, but I LOVE NU. I did well on the SAT I/IIs, so I'm hoping for a chance like yours. I'll try to work my ass off for my essays too, haha. (I'm just not terribly creative, blah) Did you send your reason for your grades essay as a seperate essay from the ones asked? (as in like... a little notice for the admissions staff to read) Did you send that to every single one of the schools you applied to?</p>
<p>I'm not sure if I should do that too... I mean, I have no reason for my grades either. I just didn't try hard enough, I guess. I'm not sure if that would tip the scales in my favour or not, lol.</p>
<p>Anyways, thank you for your post :)! I may not have applied to NU otherwise (thinking it was futile! haha)</p>
