<p>It seems like more and more people are getting in because of great EC's that make them stand out, and more and more are also having poor EC's hold them back. Also, GPA now seems like an almost meaningless statistic that just has to be adaquate and it will be pretty much ignored. Does anyone else see this happening? I'm not saying this is only for NU, either, I seems like it is going on all over the country.</p>
<p>No (10 char)</p>
<p>No, GPA is still very important. But NU along with many other schools aren't simply numbers games, thus the EC's come in. Alot of the low GPA's are salvaged by class rank.</p>
