I am a caucasian female, and I am not a legacy to any of these schools, nor do I have any connections. I have done official tours at all three. Any additional school recommendations are greatly appreciated :slight_smile:

What is your intended major? You have competitive stats but ND and NWU are super competitive and reaches for everyone. I’m not as familiar with WF.

You are a competitive applicant. Your stats and ECs are great. Write good essays and you could get accepted to any of these schools

Generally speaking: Northwestern is a harder admit than Notre Dame, which is a harder admit than Wake Forest.

Northwestern ED: Low reach/High match
Notre Dame EA: High match/match
Wake Forest ED: Match

I advise against applying ED unless it is your clear favorite and you can afford it. (that last part applies to any app…)
