<p>it was your essay that got you into Northwestern or any other school. Feel free to post the name of the school you think the essay had a big impact on. (assuming that one or more parts of your application are weak: SAT, Extracurricular, Recommendations, etc).</p>
<p>Yes. I'm pretty sure the essay is what seperated accept or reject for me.</p>
<p>My essay + extra curricular involvement certainly made up for my atrocious SAT scores.</p>
<p>My essay+Why NU prolly definitely did it for me. I had decent academics, but certainly nothing academically steller, in fact I believe i'm academically below the average NU student. also, i picked a really uncommon major, which probably had some pull.</p>
