<p>I was genuinely shocked by this deception. No one else has done it before. Kudos to you.</p>

3

<p>if you apply ED, I'd say you may venture as close as reasonably allowable towards assuming you will be accepted</p>

4

<p>


</p>

<p>what ???</p>

5

<p>If you apply ED to Northwestern University and are accepted, then your thread title might prove to be true. Next year will be more difficult for college applicants than this year, so it is best not to assume anything. Is your SAT I score posted correctly?</p>

6

<p>^^^^^^</p>

<p>oops, yea its supposed to be 2200, I must have held the 2 button too long.</p>

7

<p>I would have to agree with elsijfdl - if you apply ED, I think you'll get in.</p>

8

<p>Anyone else??</p>

<p>Also, what else could i do to beef up my application. I'm gonna try to get some research with a professor but i think it would be kinda hard in the field of economics.</p>

9

<p>Internship with Grameen Bank? Yunus? omigosh, that's a hook. Apply early decision, write great essays, and advise your teachers on how to write a memorable rec.</p>

10

<p>you SHOULD definitely get in... but make sure you show genuine interest (which you should by applying early). agree with above.</p>

11

<p>I'd say you have a great chance to get in.</p>

<p>My daughter only applied to one school - Wash U. in St. Louis, and she got in. She applied ED, and had she been deferred or rejected, would have submitted more applications via common application for RD. The essays were all done, scores submitted to her favorites, she just didn't bother applying to her second choices.</p>

12

<p>


</p>

<p>Really, I knew it was good but i never thought of it as a hook.</p>

13

<p>I think you are a solid canidate to get into NU.</p>

<p>I would say you have a 70%-90% in getting in.</p>

<p>And if you get that rec from Yunus, youre a shoe in.</p>

<p>i'm saying, you should never believe an offer of admission is a sure thing because you never know, but in your case i would say, if you applied ED it would be about as close to a sure thing as I have seen around here recently</p>
