School Type: Public
Ethnicity: White
Gender: Female
Income Bracket: $50,000-$90,000
Hooks (URM, first generation college, etc.): not that I can think of except I’m a girl applying for engineering.</p>
<p>I am applying to Mccormick for environmental engineering ED. Please chance me! This is my dream school and after going there this summer, it seemed like the perfect place for me. I felt like I really fit in, so fingers crossed! Good luck to everyone!</p>
<p>I know the wait is a difficult one but no amount of people chancing you will make it less difficult. Our opinion doesn’t matter, so let’s simply hold tight for the opinion of NU admissions.</p>
<p>Amen to rainingdaisies’s comment.</p>
<p>I think it’s good to be anxious because it means you care, as you should if you’re a competitive applicant for a top-tier school like Northwestern. But nobody here (except an NU admissions counselor, who I doubt would “chance” you on a forum like this) can really give you any legitimate percent “chance” of acceptance, especially without having read your essays.</p>
<p>So no worries! It’s all gonna be okay. Reading over your accolades, it seems like you’ve had some great accomplishments over the course of your high school tenure. Judging from your resume, I doubt you’ll ever go hungry, regardless of where you complete an undergraduate degree. I can’t chance you, but I CAN wish you good luck on your application! So good luck! We’ll have our decisions before we know it.</p>
<p>Is the ethnic distribution of NU available somewhere online?</p>
<p>@botmeister
Not sure if this is accurate, but I would assume it’s a good estimate</p>

<p>Here is 2016 class profile:</p>
<p>[Applying</a> to Northwestern: Office of Undergraduate Admission - Northwestern University](<a href=“http://www.ugadm.northwestern.edu/apply/index.html]Applying”>Apply: Undergraduate Admissions - Northwestern University)</p>
<p>My twin is applying ED and he’s so nervous 
He’ll totally rub it in my face if he got accepted XD</p>
<p>This may be a stupid question, but does being female count as a URM? I know there are definitely fewer women in engineering at least.</p>
<p>@3030981 I don’t think that counts as URM, but its definitely a slight advantage for us (I’m also applying to engineering for civil… and orginally from Kansas!)</p>
<p>How will we be notified of our acceptance to NU? Will it be through email or something else?</p>
<p>Yo, 3030981 - Yes, being a women in Engineering is a big help - at least my D, who is a recent NU McCormick grad thinks so</p>
