Do you have any siblings? You might qualify for Questbridge. Northwestern (and many other elite private - and one public) is a Questbridge partner school. If you are selected for the QB College Match program, you will essentially be able to apply ED to 8 partner schools without having to pay application fees. There is a lot of helpful material on the QB website, and a summer seminar that helps to inspire and instruct selected students on the college application process. My son qualified and was able to apply to Stanford, Yale, Notre Dame, Chicago, Northwestern, MIT, Washington & Lee, Amherst, and Swarthmore with no application fees. Amherst flew him in for a visit at their expense. They accepted him RD on Friday and offered him a FA package that would make it cheaper for him to attend than it would be to attend two nearby colleges as a commuter.
