<p>Hello, I am an Asian international student who EDed for Northwestern WCAS.
I personally sent an e-mail to international admissions officer at NU, and asked about each school's acceptance rate and whether the rates differ or not. He of course replied and said it does not differ, and NU distributes the students somewhat equally. However, I have heard from the students in NU and they all told me that clearly Medill and McCormick accpetance rates are clearly and slightly higher than that of WCAS respectively. </p>
<p>Last year's ED acceptance rate was about 33%... and I figure, due to HYPS's single choice early action admissions, the rate for NU's admission this year would be slightly higher. Then it makes it about 35% to 37%ish? (or lower I guess...) And I heard that the acceptance rate for Medill's around 10% to 15% even for early decision... So I speculate that to get that high overall acceptance rate there must be compensations from WCAS or other schools. I totally have no offense for WCAS, and plus this is what I heard from the students there so... In fact, I applied to WCAS. That's why I'm asking this question anyway... :P SO, for early decision, WCAS acceptance rate would be at some point slightly higher than those of other undergraduate schools... right??? </p>
