Can I get into Northwestern

<p>All right, that sounds good. Just make sure that your essay is still about you, and not just your cousin! It’s to see another side of you, after all. :slight_smile: I won’t bother about the Why NU bit, I’m sure you already know exactly what draws you in. Just make sure that you give unique examples that made you interested. Anyone can look a school up on Wikipedia, after all. I’d still recommend doing the extracurricular resume with someone else–a lot goes into those sentence fragments that describe your ‘position/achievements/awards’ or whatever they’re supposed to be. You don’t need to use complete sentences there, in my opinion. Just write as concisely and effectively as possible. Go on an ego trip and talk up your achievements in the two lines that’ll fit into that box!</p>

<p>Oh, and definitely review the pdf before sending it off. Things get cut off a lot, and they can line break in funny places.</p>
