<p>I was going to post something but, for some reason, the “just curious” suggested “tips for the supplement essay”.</p>

<p>^Haha, was going to say that. No offense, but if you don’t know… shouldn’t that tell you that you might be better off not applying?</p>
<p>As a recent alumnus, I look very fondly at my experience at NU. I loved my experience there. It worked me to death but I learned so much and grew so much as a person that it was worth it. I’m now in graduate school at Harvard. I still get flashbacks of NU and get nostalgic. I’m definitely planning on attending Northwestern alumni events here in Boston. </p>
<p>FYI, people around here always have stories of their cool and highly accomplished friends who went to Northwestern 
I love its reputation here on the East Coast.</p>
<p>@whildcatalum, that’s good to hear… Thanks…</p>
<p>I refuse to help on both grounds of I don’t encourage laziness and because the “Why ____” essays are oftentimes the most important, and most people botch them horribly by regurgitating things that anyone could say to people who already know what they’re saying.</p>
