School of Education and Social Policy

<p>Is this the easiest school to get into at Northwestern?</p>

<p>Test scores have generally risen at all schools in the past few years. If you apply to SESP, you have to explain why you prefer that school's curriculum (social policy; HDPS; LOC; secondary education certification) versus the other 5 schools within Northwestern.</p>

<p>Gnarly, but is it relatively easy to get into?</p>

<p>Like, what's the acceptance rate?</p>

<p>See <a href="http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/northwestern-university/460295-sat-averages-per-school.html?highlight=1427+WCAS%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/northwestern-university/460295-sat-averages-per-school.html?highlight=1427+WCAS&lt;/a> for a comparison of schools. The breakdown of acceptance rates for different schools is not available though (or if it is, I don't know about it).</p>

<p>I also heard that the acceptance rates for different schools are not released. If that's the case, is it even logical for us to be guessing whether or not SESP is the easiest school? I mean, for all we know (or don't know), I can easily say that SESP is the hardest school in Northwestern to get into. Who can prove me wrong, besides people from the admission office?</p>

<p>Go with whatever school you actually want to be in, applying to a school because you think it's easier to get in than what your interests are is generally not a good idea.</p>

<p>Yeah, but you could always switch schools.</p>

<p>And, I pretty much have to apply to the easiest one, because my GPA is pretty bad.</p>

<p>But getting into NU has a lot to do with demonstrated interest and essays tied to the specific school you are interested in. It would definitely make 0 sense to apply to SESP without good reason for wanting to be in one of its unique programs.</p>

<p>^^ Very true.</p>
