<p>Idrice: Hmm. I was accepted to NU but waitlisted to Wesleyan, so the only thing I can think to tell you is if your Why NU essay didn’t seem very wholehearted they might have zeroed in on that. I have friends with unbelievable scores who didn’t get into NU because they feel like their essays/interviews weren’t fantastic, so if it may have appeared you weren’t totally invested in the school, that’s the only reason I can think of for your not being accepted.</p>
