<p>Harvard-- you’ve written some really weird stuff on this the CMU threads-- pardon me, but it sounds like you’re ■■■■■■■■ us. Free rides are rare even for URMs-- they go to people with super high stats. I know, I’m also a minority-- and free rides are for people who win Ron Brown Cola, Gates, etc.-- and your stats aren’t at that level. This just seems weird to me.</p>
<p>How did that Harvard acceptance go for you?</p>
<p>BTW NU is not in Chicago, it’s in Evanston. A burb of chicao.</p>
<p>By the sound of it, if your parents get to make your decisions for you, seems obvious that you need to get out of Pittsburgh and should go to NU to get away from them, and it will not cost you much anyways.</p>
<p>Being blunt you stats were not that impressive , so other than being a URM, cannot imagine how NU gave you a free ride. Regardless of connections- this just seems like another weird thread from you.</p>
<p>What’s the name of the scholarship you were awarded?</p>
<p>I read what OP wrote on the NU boards-- the story is really bizarre-- she didn’t even apply to NU-- this story cannot possibly be true. OP- wow.</p>
