Changed Major on App, didn't change essays...

Applying to College

<p>Here's what happened:</p>

<p>I applied ED to Northwestern University in WCAS for Statistics. However, I decided to change majors about a week and a half ago because I thought Industrial Engineering would be a better choice for me. So I emailed NU and told them I wanted to switch the school I was applying to and gave them a reason. They said it was fine and amended my application.</p>

<p>However, in my Why NU? essay, I had a little statement about how I would love WCAS and the MENU program. I also wrote about how NU's academics appeal to me because it is strong in many areas and switching majors would allow me to have a spectacular academic experience for whatever I end up choosing.</p>

<p>My question is, am I screwed because I applied to McCormick and mentions MENU and WCAS in my essay?</p>

<p>in short, yes you are screwed.</p>

<p>lol jk i have no clue. maybe send a revised essay?? </p>

<p>"also wrote about how NU's academics appeal to me because it is strong in many areas and switching majors would allow me to have a spectacular academic experience for whatever I end up choosing."</p>

<p>I think that helps a lot, kind of demonstrates what you just did and why it makes you eager to go to NU, the academic freedom/diversity or whatever you want to call it.</p>

<p>Thanks for the reply!</p>

<p>I had a feeling that line I wrote would help me out, but I'm still concerned about auto-rejection <_<</p>
