Is Northwestern ever a match?

Sam Lee,

Okay, I give up. Go ahead and split your hairs.

I wasn’t defining “match” in the way you think the OP was. To me, “most likely” better describes a “safety” school than a “match” school. I think we agree that Northwestern is not a “safety” school for anyone. In my mind, if you have average-to-above-average stats for a school, it is a “match” and you have a reasonable shot at admission. But there are no guarantees. Do you still think we are saying something different?
