Top student (2300, top 5%) denied at Northwestern ED-- what went wrong?

<p>Just my opinion, I don’t think you’ll have a good chance for RD unless you have great academic achievements. I think a Harvard, Yale, Princeton… undergraduate will have better SAT II scores and maybe some national awards for an academic subject (like an olympiad medal, just saying). You are an all-rounded applicant but not an outstanding applicant. Don’t waste the money.</p>
