Chance me for Northwestern ED

@Mwfan1921 makes great points. Most TO probably have hooks/special circumstances. I came to the same point of submitting but their guidance has much better footing.

Find your weakness and study. But if you don’t get a 33/34, if you get rejected (and you still likely will) based on their admit rate - it will be ok.

I’m a two time NU rejectee - UG and graduate. It’ll be ok regardless. I’ve survived.

Put forth your best application. That’s all you can do.

You can’t control their decision making but be realistic. In 2025, they admitted 7% and that includes athletes, etc.

It’s great to ‘reach’ and it is even if you had a 34+. Don’t obsess. Find a balanced list with NU at the top of the ‘difficulty’ scale.
