brown/dartmouth/uchicago/northwestern which is easier to get into

Applying to College

<p>I'm asking about overall stats rather than my chance.
I'm just curious...</p>

2

<p>Technically, Northwestern is the “easiest” to get into.</p>

<p>Acceptance Rates:
Brown 8%
Dartmouth 11%
UChicago 9%
Northwestern 13%</p>

3

<p>Yea if we’re taking stats Northwestern has the highest acceptance rate, but none of that matters if your stats don’t add up.</p>

4

<p>And RD, that very well might be different. NU really likes kids who have them as their first choice, so the ED acceptance rate is several times higher.</p>

5

<p>Acceptance Rates for 2014:</p>

<p>UChicago 8.4%
Brown 8.6%
Dartmouth 11.5%
Northwestern 12.9%</p>

<p>They are all great schools and none of them is easy to get in. Be sure you have the stats and outstanding essays to have a chance.</p>

<p>Basically this. At my school, we had many qualified applicants that applied to NU regular, but they only took a less qualified person who had a sibling attend probably because she was more likely to attend (and they were right)! Dartmouth also really likes STEM kids/high stats (think 2300+, vals, sals, etc.) a bit more than the other schools.</p>

<p>"I’m a Chinese but I’m studying in the states. (So I’m an international student…)</p>

<p>my stats
30 ACT (probably 32 after retake)
3.92 simple GPA for my junior year
no special EC…"</p>

<p>Those stats make all of them difficult to get accepted into. And the fact that you are self-pay will only help at need-aware schools.</p>

8

<p>^ Brown’s need aware for internationals. However, I agree. OP’s stats are very low for an International student.</p>

9

<p>RD, yes, but some schools really like kids who have them as a first choice.
Dartmouth and Northwestern had ED admit rates around 30% in 2013.
Brown’s was under 20%, and EA at UChicago doesn’t give you much of an advantage over RD.</p>

10

<p>Actually, of those 4 schools, only Dartmouth is need-blind for internationals, right? </p>

<p>BTW, to the OP: what do you plan to study or go in to?</p>

11

<p>If you were talking about major, I think I will have history or theology.</p>

Yes my stats are very low…That’s why I said I’m just curious.</p>
