Rejected from getting a HPME (Northwestern) application

Applying to College

<p>Has anyone else been rejected from even getting an HPME application? If you wouldn't mind, it would be helpful for me (in trying to figure out why I was denied an application) if you listed your stats (GPA, SAT scores, AP classes taken) and whether you got an application or not.</p>

<p>I had:</p>

<p>3.86 GPA (unweighted)</p>

<p>2340 SAT I
800 SAT II math
770 SAT II chem</p>

<p>2 English APs
2 math APs
1 bio AP
1 chem AP
1 physics honors</p>

<p>versus... my friend:</p>

<p>3.95 GPA (unweighted)</p>

<p>2140 SAT I
790 SAT II math
750 SAT II chem</p>

<p>1 English AP
2 math APs
1 bio AP
1 chem AP
1 physics honors</p>

<p>I don't mean to be obsessive, but that's super intense if that 0.09 difference in our GPAs meant that I wouldn't even receive an application! Especially since I have higher SAT scores. I totally understand that it's already a very selective program, but I was just a little disappointed... Is GPA weighted that much??</p>

<p>Who knows... But, move on. There are other schools you can apply to, aren't there?</p>

<p>Post your question on HPME thread under "Multiple Degree Programs". <a href="http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/forumdisplay.php?f=476%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/forumdisplay.php?f=476&lt;/a>
It's hard to believe they didn't even give you an application. I read that the HPME class has shrunk by half so admission is extremely competitive.</p>
