Hi everyone! I am struggling in my application season. NU has been my love for years and I have decided to give a shot in the ED round. However, as an international student, I also feel unsure about myself cuz generally, I don’t know that much about US schools. Just wondering if anyone can evaluate my package and give any suggestions.
Thank you so much!
