<p>I’ve always heard NU is tougher on ED kids, though NU disagrees. I’ve never heard of NU paying any attention to how much a kid wants to go there.
I have, however, noticed that they’ve been favoring science-minded kids lately (they said they were looking for well balanced students). Oh and supposedly a TI89 will get you through any question on the test, so if you can, you may want to get one.</p>
