Is top 33rd percentile class rank bad? [MS resident, 3.73 GPA, need FA/scholarships, CS and business]

Did she have Cs ? I can’t imagine you get into NU but you never know. MS helps. Are you in private school?

Comparing to another isn’t, in reality, the best way to see things. One doesn’t truly know why another gets in and at many schools, major matters

But you have to pay for NU - so have your folks run that net price calculator I sent.

It’s $100K a year.

No doubt you’ll qualify for aid - but can you afford what it costs after aid? That will be the question

And schools are different - you should visit some campuses. Not sure where you live in the state, but visit MSU, Ole Miss, South Alabama, Rhodes, Bama, Milsaps.

What I’m getting at is - visits schools of different sizes and environments - to see - mine started off loving WUSTL but then ended up loving Alabama - two polar opposites environmentally and size wise.

You want to find what’s right for you - including budget. NU, for example, doesn’t have an undergrad business major although they have some programs (a minor I believe). So you can’t major in business there.

btw - unless you know you can afford or your parents are willing to pay what NU or any school will cost, you don’t ED as it’s binding. Hence, the need to fill out the net price calculator. Make sure your folks do it as they know the figures.
