Rejected. And now Iā€™m heading to a funeral. Honestly, I think Iā€™m just going to cry for a bit in the back. Itā€™s been a rough dayā€¦

Not looking very ā€œtest optionalā€ at the moment

Major: Neuroscience
GPA: 4.0 UW
School doesnā€™t do rank, but am in Cum Laude society (top 10% of class)
Full IB Diploma
SAT: test optional
ECs: Editor of yearbook, editor of newspaper, honor council (11th & 12th), chem & microbio summer classes, tutoring kids in math & science, organized Alzheimerā€™s awareness fundraiser at my school, exceeded required community service hours

I think my ECs were lackluster, and TO probably didnā€™t help my case either

So Northwestern was actually a safety for me and I had only applied cause my counsellor told me to. It is only now I found out that it is competitive and elite. Iā€™ll probably not attend as I have Cal already for CS.
