[<em>] Teacher Recommendation: I read one of them and I thought it was excellent. It was a teacher I’ve had more than once and he explained how he’s seen me mature over the last few years. The other was probably really good too, the teacher likes me a lot.
[</em>] Counselor Rec: Dunno, good I think.
[<em>] Additional Rec: None
[</em>] Interview: Thought it went well, but I kind of felt as if the person interviewing me didn’t care too much about me, she was all like “any questions about Northwestern?”</p>

[ *] Summer Activities: Nothing much, mostly tennis tournaments
[ *] Essays: I thought my common app was good, my NW supplement was kinda cobbled together though. I worked on it forever but couldn’t make it sound the way I want it.
[ *] Teacher Recommendation: Great–I think (waived rights)
[ *] Counselor Rec: Homeschooled, so my mom wrote it–not sure how seriously they take that
[ *] Additional Rec: n/a
[ *] Interview: n/a</p>

<p>[ *] State (if domestic applicant): MN

[ b]General Comments: It’s my first rejection…so yeah I’m disappointed, a bit surprised, and nervous since I haven’t heard from many others yet. Definitely regret not ever being able to visit officially, and probably should have taken SAT I & IIs more than once–I completely ran out of time. Not sure if being homeschooled worked against or for me. Anyways, I heard it was a record number of applicants, along with the fact that they intended to downsize their incoming freshmen numbers, so that takes the sting out of it a little. Congrats to all those who were accepted!</p>
