**Official NU ED 2017 Discussion and Results Thread**

<p>anyone else deferred?</p>

<p>Laxlaxlax, NU historically do not defer many applicants…so your chances for RD should be pretty good if you keep an upward trend in your grades. Good luck.</p>

<p>yeah my senior grades are best grades yet so fingers crossed!</p>

<p>Yeah, I agree with NorthwesternDad, I didn’t even know NU deferred so that must mean they still want you! I hope you get in, laxlaxlax!</p>

<p>Accepted! Have no idea how i got in</p>

<p>I got in oh my god im crying oh my god how whaaaaaat</p>

[*] Why you think you were rejected: My GPA (whatever it is) was probably the biggest factor in my rejection. Besides that, likely just not a remarkable enough application paired with some bad luck. On and, applied for Econ major, so that was likely a large factor considering the competitiveness of the major. [/ul]General Comments: Congratulations to everyone that got in, for everyone else (myself included), this isn’t the end of the world. Moving on and accepting some rejection is a part of college.</p>

<p>my school has a close relationship with the school so that might be part of it</p>
