<p>I am pretty surprised as to how people on CC completley underestimate the difficulty of getting into NU. I saw some chance boards where ppl listed Wesleyan, Emory, and Carleton as reaches and listed NU as "possibe" or "probable." I thought NU was really difficult to get into. How is Cornell or JHU harder to get into than NU? Doesn't NU have higher SATs than all of the aformentioned schools and a comparable admit rate?</p>
