| masterofphunk, If you search the CC boards, you'll find many postings from students who were waitlisted at NU, then sent in additional material and/or even visited the campus and talked to an admissions rep, and were consequently offered a spot in the class. So it seems to be a very common thing to do, despite what the woman told me. And she did say "discourage" not "prohibit."
My son has not sent in anything before, other than the standard "I want to be placed on the waitlist" response. He wants to let NU that he is still very interested in attending. (We know NU is very big on demonstrated interest.) Also, this award is a significant one, particularly with respect to his intended major. |
