I agree with Pizzagirl.

I don’t know if this happens at NU, and I don’t even know if this is true, but I have heard that some elite schools select out the athletes, a needed tuba player, and the obvious “must have” applicants because they are so academically desireable.

Once they have their “good to go” pile of applications, they randomly pick from the stack.

This could be an urban legend, but it is quite possible that it does come to something like that. Sooo many qualified applicants and a limited number of available spots.

Good luck.
