Tell me about Northwestern

Colleges and Universities A-Z Northwestern University

<p>Hello,</p>

<p>I am a transfer hopeful looking to apply to Northwestern. I currently attend American University in DC as a sophomore.
I have decent stats (3.98 GPA and 1460 SAT) and will be able to get solid recommendations from two professors, so I think what will make or break my chance is the essay. So I would really really appreciate some input here.</p>

<p>I have to write about what unique qualities of Northwestern make me want to attend and how I am planning on taking advantage of them. I plan on majoring in Economics and I know that Northwestern has one of the best Econ programs in the nation. But besides that, I don’t feel like I know enough about this school and would love to learn more about it. So current NU students, especially WCAS students, please feel free to share about your experiences at NU.</p>

<p>Just as a guideline (feel free to write about anything else):</p>

<li>What are some unique academic qualities at NU?</li>
<li>What do you love about the atmosphere and student life at NU?</li>
<li>What makes WCAS different from other colleges?</li>
</ol>

<p>If you provide me really good information to help me get into NU, I will buy you a nice dinner :)</p>

<p>You can find out what you want to know just by going thru all those threats at the CC Northwestern column. Our input are all there, and it's just a finger away. All you need to do is to keep clicking your mouse with your fingers. If you would end up getting into NU, you own everyone of us a dinner.</p>

<p>I like my Chipotle burrito served with steak, black beans, corn salsa, sour cream, and cheese. Don't forget to tell them to mix it up before they wrap it. No one likes a whole bite of sour cream before a whole bite of salsa.</p>

<p>Right on. High five!!!</p>
