My critique:
I’m not going to bother with average SAT/ACT and GPA or where students come from. It’s all there. You can look it up, so hard factors aren’t hard to generalize.

The only thing I disagree with is that NU students wouldn’t have amazing essays or a relation to the school. Students here really, really want to be here. The unique combo of B10 athletics and ivy league athletics makes for a very unique envrionment. Applicants are self-selecting. It is decidedly midwestern in culture, and I don’t think its the ivy-league reject school that people claim it to be. There is a lot of school pride, largely derived from athletics.
