| I'm an NU sophomore, and an Ivy reject. I literally was rejected from all the Ivies I applied to. I would venture to guess that a lot of my classmates were in a similar situation. It is pretty much a fact that NU provides an admissions niche that is slightly below HYP, and there's no reason to get defensive about that. In no way, though, do I think that NU is full of people wishing they were at Yale. An "Ivy reject" to me is just someone who spent less of their time in high school trying really hard to get into the Ivies - maybe they did other interesting things with their lives. People at NU like it here and from what I gather, don't really want to be anywhere else |
