<p>Thanks I will.</p>
<p>I was shocked to hear from my friends… 3 got waitlisted and 2 rejected so far and most of them had better stats than me. I got in ED, but I’m just curious how big the waitlist is this year and how many people are going to get in off the waitlist? Beause I want my friends to join me :/.</p>
<p>Decision: ACCEPTED!! (Weinberg CAS)</p>
<p>SAT: 2280 (730 CR, 750 M, 800 W)
SAT II: 740 Math II, 760 Spanish w/ Listening
ACT: I took it, but I wish I hadn’t. The result was awful.
GPA: 3.79 UW, 4.15 W
AP: 9th Grade–Biology (5); 10th Grade–US History (5); 11th Grade–Calculus AB (4), English Lit (5), European History (5), Physics B (4); 12th Grade–Spanish Language, English Language</p>
<p>SUBJECTIVE</p>
<p>-Essays: Well, I thought they were pretty good (but I’m biased); I wrote about being picked on for my height when I was little. People told me that it was light-hearted, witty, and really showed my personality. The NU supplement was pretty vanilla, though.</p>
<p>-Teacher Recs: One was stellar…I didn’t see the other one, but apparently it was all right too.</p>
<p>-Counselor Rec: My college counselor’s also my school advisor, so he knows me really well…he said it was one of his best recs, and he felt confident with it.</p>
<p>-Hook (if any):</p>
<p>LOCATION/PERSON</p>
<p>-State or Country:O-H!
-School Type: Private, ubercompetitive
-Ethnicity:Half Caucasian/Half Indian
-Gender:Female</p>
<p>OTHER FACTORS</p>
<p>-Extra-curriculars:
-Spanish Club (involves cultural education, charity work, etc): Founder and Pres
-Spanish Tutoring Program: Founder
-School Newspaper: Senior Section Editor
-School Lit. Magazine: Editor-in-Chief
-Cross Country: Varsity/Manager (tore 3 ligaments and a few muscles in my ankle, so I<br>
had to give up running)
-Piano: 10 years
-Singing: 8 years
-Volunteer at Muscular Dystrophy Summer Camp (they offer them all around the<br>
country…they’re a great way to get some really fun service hours done, fyi)</p>
<p>-Awards:
-AP Scholar w/ Distinction
-National Merit Finalist
-School award for English Composition
-School award for Public Speaking</p>
<p>-Reflection:
-Strengths: the essay
-Weaknesses: GPA, I guess
-Why you think you were accepted/waitlisted/rejected: The interview was FANTASTIC.
(My interviewer told me that interviews/campus visits can play a big part in the
admissions decision). Also, I applied as a linguistics major and I’m starting to think that<br>
no one applies to NU for that.</p>
<p>-Comments: My school had 22 people (out of a class of 92) apply to Northwestern, and I had not just one, but TWO college counselors tell me I wouldn’t get in. My SATs/GPA were a lot lower than those of a lot of my classmates who also applied to NU, so when I got the admissions email I just assumed it held bad news. It goes to show, stats don’t mean everything :)</p>
<p>-Going to Attend: Still waiting to hear from Brown…but the more I research NU, the more I fall in love with it, so we’ll see!</p>
<p>Congratulations to everyone accepted! And good luck to everyone on the waiting list!
:)</p>
