General Comments: I was worried about Northwestern because I had signed up for an interview, then thought the interview was on a Sunday not a Saturday, and missed the interview. I sent an email apologizing, but still…</p>

<p>My S. rejected.
SATs 690m, 780v, 800w = 2270
National Merit commended
Top 25% very competitive private school, 92 average.
Excellent recs. and ECs. MANY AP courses.
Rejection surprised me. I was thinking likely acceptance and at least waitlist. Other acceptances so far = Michigan, BC, Notre Dame, and Davidson. No one else has rejected or waitlisted so far. Have three other top flight schools to hear from next three days. Wish us luck.
And - oh yeah - that business with the NU webiste the last two days drove me crazy.
My guess is that m S.'s rejection just proves again that the schools at this level are selecting from a big surplus of qualified students, most of whom would do fine if admitted.
Best wishes to all of you. This is presumably my syonara from this part of the cc website. Those who got in, Congratulations. those who didn’t, don’t worry, you will be going to some other great school.</p>
