Essays are very emotional and talks about my passion for understanding the brain and how people think
Letters of Recommendation are pretty great but not as emotional as my essays

If I’m missing anything else let me know! Thank you for your support and if you think programs at other schools are good too let me know. Have a nice day :slight_smile:

Class of 2020 here. Sounds like really extraordinary academic records. Seniors in my HS admitted by NU all have strong scores and rigorous classes. So look like a match. I bet you know that you gotta file out an independent application to ISP. And I am curious about your why school supplement.

I think you have a solid shot in the RD round! Your stats are great and you have some really good EC’s, so I think you will get in! I dont know that much about admissions into the ISP, but you probably have a good chance there too since your app seems to have a focus on science. Best of luck!
