<p>Indians are really over-represented at Northwestern so it may be harder for you to get in.</p>
<p>i guarantee indians are overrepresented at every elite university.</p>
<p>Moreso at Northwestern.</p>
<p>How likely do you think it is for me to get in?</p>
<p>What about other types of Asians? Like Korean/Chinese/Japanese?</p>
<p>Last time i saw the stats, i think northwestern has a 16% asian population. im not sure if that’s all asians or if that’s just east asians.</p>
<p>I think that’s usually all Asians, including Pacific Islanders and Indians.
What is considered over-representation of East Asians then? It’s probably like 10% East Asian at Northwestern, since Indians comprise such a large percentage of the 16%.</p>

<p>reach…</p>
<p>how is northwestern a reach for this applicant, token? Especially, ED?</p>
<p>Yeah, I don’t think it’s a REACH… I have no idea how race plays into this though. Is that why you indicated NU as a REACH, token?</p>
