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.

My recommendation were really good, and I guess I did well on my interviews. Just because your stats arent amazing, dont think you dont stand a chance. I almost didnt apply to MIT because I thought I wouldnt get in. Theres always a chance and definitely take adavnatage of any interview opportunities. dont lose the hope until you see the decision. Anyone has a shot at any school, you just need to know how to sell yourself and shoe youre worth the chance
