<p>Just got an email inviting me to be a murphy scholar in the Murphy Institute @ Northwestern (Engineering). Does anyone know any details about this program or how selective it is? Thanks! =)</p>

<p>I would really like to know this as well; I was also invited!</p>

<p>No one knows anything? :(</p>

<p>i guess its like a faster way of meeting faculty. </p>

<p>did you guys have crazy stats? (as in good)</p>

9

<p>i applied RD… stats: 2350 sat I / 800 IIC / 760 ush; 3.92 UW (at top 20 private hs nationally). </p>

<p>i think it was cause i’ve done prior research at a university, and filled out the research supplement for NU. did anyone else do that too? also i’ve heard they only take ~15 per matriculating class, but im not sure of this…</p>

10

<p>lazypolarbears, my stats are pretty similar and I also did research at a national lab which I sent to them as a supplement</p>

11

<p>I got it with slightly lower stats (2270 SAT, 800 MATH II, 790 Physics, 790 World; 97 average, 9 out of 365) and I did research at a private university. But I submit them the wrong abstract?</p>

<p>I applied for Industrial Engineering/Management or whatever it’s called. Is there really lab work for that?</p>

12

<p>must be something for those who supplied research abstracts.</p>

<p>@purify I guess IEM could have studies or something… who knows</p>

13

<p>My stats were a bit higher (2380/800 Math/800 Chem/3.96 GPA etc.), but I haven’t done any major research…any research at all really…not at a university, not in an outside lab…heh.</p>
