<p>This does not seem to be a random occurence, because if it were, it wouldn't be as prevalent as it appears to be. So, just for future reference, let us keep a separate thread on this peculiar result. If the CC users/posters are only a fraction of all applicants with the same result, then it could be a good percentage (much higher than 10%?) of the 140 applicants invited to interview. To attend the interview is no small expense to the family and the college would be nice to extend at least a token consolation prize by giving admission, perhaps at the expense of a small drop in the yield.</p>
<p>[if I was seriously interested in attending NU even without HPME, I would call NU's regional director and express my interest 'passionately'. You might also want to ask SamLee on this CC board, who is a NU alum and seems to be knowledgeable about the inner workings at NU.]</p>
