<p>I hope NBN is correct! Nevertheless, my sibling at Northwestern teases me a bit by saying Northwestern is getting less selective [i.e. It was harder to get in when she applied (which is not the case for her specific class of '09 – an acceptance rate of 29.71%) of course I’m sure sibling rivalry plays a part].</p>
<p>Also, the applicant pool has grown from 16,221 to 25,027, a 54% increase!</p>
<p>but siblings will be siblings</p>
