Rejected. And now I’m heading to a funeral. Honestly, I think I’m just going to cry for a bit in the back. It’s been a rough day…
Not looking very “test optional” at the moment

SAT: test optional
ECs: Editor of yearbook, editor of newspaper, honor council (11th & 12th), chem & microbio summer classes, tutoring kids in math & science, organized Alzheimer’s awareness fundraiser at my school, exceeded required community service hours
I think my ECs were lackluster, and TO probably didn’t help my case either
So Northwestern was actually a safety for me and I had only applied cause my counsellor told me to. It is only now I found out that it is competitive and elite. I’ll probably not attend as I have Cal already for CS.
Thank you! Unfortunately a deny here, but she’s alright with that. Congratulations to all of you and good luck! 
so sorry
Son got his first rejection.
