<p>To those who didn’t get in: Faith loves you, please don’t give up. It will feel rough now, but trust me, you will be treated justly and given a school that you will glow in. You just need to shake the weight off and keep your head high. You may think that I am bs-ing this, but to be honest, this was what I told myself to prepare for a potential rejection and I don’t bs myself. </p>

<p>Accepted to Medill! I’m so excited.</p>
<p>I was rejected. It’s unfortunate but what can I do? By staying positive and remaining humble I’ve already own half the battle. I tried my hardest. And to all who got accepted, CONGRATS! If I had to guess why I was rejected I would say my SAT scores were to low 2060/1400 and that my essays were awful. I struggled the entire time with what I wanted to say and threw it all together at the last minute. My hooks were that I am a first generation college student/American and African American. Maybe I’ll post in the ED thread later. But two years from now (after a year of college somewhere else) if I’m still hell bent on NU (which I probably will be) then I’ll try to transfer. Now let’s hope for UMich.</p>

Where else were you accepted: ~
General Comments:I’m so thankful that they accepted me, even with crappy SAT scores. but for real, QB is what helped me so much. for those of you that didn’t get in, take a deep breath, tomorrow is a new day. everything happens for a reason, and you’ll be so happy wherever you end up. everyone here deserves to get in. for prospective students: be true to yourself! don’t try to impress colleges, but also challenge yourself, and stop spending so much time on this website! ;)</p>

<p>@jackechan Oh lord this is a fresh wound. But here goes. I started my common application essay about a week after the common app opened. I tried to write about the failure one. I really wanted to talk about my struggles with my family and drug addiction but I just didn’t feel that was appropriate. I didn’t want to come across as a drug addict or anything like that. It’s difficult to explain. So my essay ended up changing about 3 separate times before I talked about a pride issue I had/have. For the Why NU? essay, I made up some creative bull about the school’s spirit and how sucky my school spirit is that the athletic director banned pompoms because they give a false sense of encouragement blah blah. I would be more helpful but I hope you understand this is a tough day for me right now. Feel free to message me anytime, though.</p>
