Do you know if Materials Engineering would be a really competitive program to get in? How’s its difficulty (to get accepted) compared to the rest of NU?</p>
<p>Thanks @RNS1995 !</p>
<p>@NorthernKev honestly engineers take mostly all the same classes at first. I doubt there’s any significant difference in admission rate for different types of engineering. best of luck!</p>
<p>Did anyone here interview?</p>
<p>@imrllynervous omg i am literally just about to ask this question</p>
<p>I did with the local alum</p>
<p>@imrllynervous I tried to interview but the school sent me the wrong interviewer information. When I contacted the school to try and get the right interviewer they never responded back.</p>
<p>No interviews in illinois, so I didn’t</p>
<p>Closest one to me is in San Francisco and I simply cannot make it, so I didn’t interview either.</p>
<p>How important is the interview though? not so much right?</p>
<p>@kkkbj0101 @collegeappstory I applied about 4-5 days before the deadline and I never sought to interview (despite living in an area with a significant alumni population lol). I was wondering if that would really make a difference. I know they say it won’t but does that look bad?</p>
<p>@imrllynervous it does not look bad at all. There are so many people don’t have a chance to be interviewed. Especially the interview is more informative than evaluative. </p>
<p>@kkkbj0101
I heard they usually don’t use interviews as a general criteria, but only when comparing two applications individually, meaning they won’t care about your interview unless they’re specifically comparing you against an individual. </p>
<p>@northernKev I think you are right. </p>
<p>Do you guys think going to their summer program helps a little bit too? Maybe? </p>
<p>Well everything helps. Not sure about NU but back home in California UCs go nuts for their COSMOS programs, which is a summer research program.</p>
<p>@northernKev oh ya i guess that is the “show your interest” part.</p>
<p>Ugh can’t concentrate on finals…
Accept = Screw finals
Rejected = Screwed for finals
Deferral = Screwed by finals</p>
