I agree that everyone is ridiculus to be saying that to me because most of them didn’t even go to said colleges. But I think what they mean is that UMich is rather difficult to get into and to get in there says there is a chance. Plus, my app wasn’t complete until Christmas and I still got accepted a little into February.

I asked about the essays because having applied to UChicago, I think they have a more open essay process. They let you just spill your guts on any old thing you like whereas with NU, you had to fit it into the word limit as well as the prompt. Perhaps it’s just paranoia. Dunno.

Actually, NU is very regional. The biggest numbers are from the Midwest. It’s not like Alaska is a big sender.
