I think I should reiterate the above by saying that I (or anyone else, for that matter) cannot hope to understand the subjective part of your application, especially the essay portion. That, along with the fact that no one here (we think!) is a Northwestern admissions counselor, means that the only answer that it is possible to give is a “maybe” unless you have a 1.0 GPA and a 0/2400 SAT score (in which case the answer is “no”) or your parent happens to be Barack Obama (in which case the answer is “yes”). That said, good luck and I hope that we can all have a party on the 15th when we all get in!
