<p>Which school would be most forgiving of an applicant with a low GPA?</p>
<p>None. All of your credentials -weak and strong - will be viewed together, but it cannot be said that one of the three will be easier for a student with a low GPA to get into.</p>
<p>I agree with WCASParent.</p>
<p>Apply to the school you have the strongest interest in. In my experience and what I've heard, NU really cares about the Why NU, so if you are applying to a particular school or particular major that you have an academic/extracurricular background in and an obvious passion for, that will take you way farther than any low or high GPA will.</p>
<p>(and you probably know this from reading the boards, but if you still end up applying for an "easy in", do not apply for theater unless thats your obvious passion. They have a capped number of applicants to accept)</p>
