Northwestern was unfortunate. It was the first application I filled out, the night before the deadline, and rushed it. Didn't really know what to do. I wrote about a Chinese guy in my essay, so I think they thought I was Asian, and that may have resulted in the waitlist (since these schools seem to have tons of Asians). In addition, the essay topic was bad...and I didn't have any teacher rec's....oh well.
