<p>IMHO, anyone who considers Northwestern anything but a reach is naive, and those fortunate few who are admitted need to recognize that a certain amount of luck was on their side. We know many EXTREMELY qualified and well-rounded kids who would have been a perfect fit at NU who were not admitted the past couple of years.</p>
<p>NU is not a safety for anyone anymore.</p>
