<p>I found this link in the Penn forum. I kind of liked Northwestern's application despite all the essays.</p>
<p>Me too, it was my favorite one. I think the common app people will be at a disadvantage, they won't be able to be as creative.</p>
<p>i'm surprised that NU joined the common app, because they hate being a back up to the ivies. they're big on NU being the applicant's first choice.</p>
<p>jellb, keep in mind that NU will still use ED and the "Why NU" may still very well show up in the Common App supplement. At the same time, I do see what you mean, and I think more Ivy-caliber students will apply there "just in case" in greater numbers than ever before.</p>
<p>If NU is going to be on com app, how come they released their essay prompts for 06-07? Im guessing for supplement maybe? Man..., thats a lot of essays.</p>
<p>those were the questions answered by this year's applicants that will be entering during the 06-07 school year</p>
<p>"If NU is going to be on com app, how come they released their essay prompts for 06-07? Im guessing for supplement maybe?"</p>
<p>If a school goes on the common app, they don't get rid of their application, you just have that option... right? I know Duke accepts the common app but they have their own app too.</p>
<p>NU will post the additional essays in their supplement..so basically u save time writing ur personal information!</p>
<p>anyone care to give what the prompts were</p>
