<p>man i’m so sick of people applying to Northwestern as a backup in case they don’t make their Ivies…here I am struggling with mediocre stats with NU as my top pick</p>
<p>cry about it?</p>
<p>hmm…what are we supposed to say?</p>
<p>no i just feel hopeless</p>
<p>ehh…what?</p>
<p>It’s ok…just think of all the people that’ll go to state and community colleges and think how much better off you’ll be if you get into Northwestern</p>
<p>People who apply to NU as a safety are not necessarily NU’s first choice to admit. If you manage to demonstrate genuine interest and let them know how badly you want to attend, you stand a chance against somebody who doesn’t know much about NU and files a last minute online application.</p>
<p>I agree. Northwestern is my top choice and Im not applying to any ivies</p>
