<p>may i ask what sport you play mccubs?</p>

<p>I know what you mean ChicagoBears1. hahaha.</p>
<p>Itās okay, ChicagoBears1ā¦ Iām at Lawrence U. I know how you feel.</p>
<p>chicagobears1 itās okay! weāre all in the same pool together!!</p>
<p>Co-sign on what the last 3 people said. I think if you show youāve been successful at whatever school youāre at currently, theyāll ignore its ranking to an extent.</p>
<p>ā¦went to visit Northwestern yesterday, turns out my application may be deferred until winterā¦apparently they need something from my high school, and my high school may not be able to give it to them until june 9th,</p>
<p>NU said if we can get it to them by mid-june they would still consider me, if not iād have to wait til winter quarterā¦ i hope they get the forms soon</p>
<p>wish me luck</p>
<p>good luck. ^^
how was visiting campus, btw? It certainly is cold here in chicagoland, though!</p>
<p>iām really anxious about getting my decision. where else did u guys apply to? is northwestern your top choice? has anyone applied for financial aid?</p>
<p>Also applied and got accepted to Vanderbilt. Iām slightly leaning towards NU because of their superior econ program and its reputation in the investment banking industry, however it essentially comes down to the financial aid. If NU doesnāt come close to what Vandy gave me, I would have to turn them down.</p>
<p>when are decisions mailed out?</p>
<p>@transfer98765 Thanks! I loved the visit! Iām from the burbs, and went to school in Mass. last year, so Iām pretty used to the cold. I really hope I can call NU home this fall, did anyone else know about the residential colleges vs. regular residence halls? I think theyāre pretty cool, each one has a theme (e.g., college of commerce and industry), also their engineering first program is WAY cooler than I had thought, too bad we miss out on some of the courses the first years get to take :/</p>
<p>iām also from/ live in the metro chicago area. yay! there are a lot of us!
hope to meet you guys (in person) one day! :D</p>
<p>< another from Chicagoland</p>
