<p>dts1dlm, it was a pre-paid postcard, you should be fine.</p>
<p>To the OP, yes, I’ve noticed this year how NU rejected a number of truly outstanding students. Just from my school alone, kids who made HYPS were waitlisted at NU. That being said, I was one of the ones waitlisted at NU too, and was wondering what I could do to get off the waitlist. </p>
<p>I’ve been reading advice from different college confidential forums, and they’ve been recommending that I send a letter of interest to the college ASAP. But should I send it to the local admissions director (I live in San Diego, CA), or the one in Evanston? And I’m really not sure about how to phrase my interest in the university…I really want to go to NU but I’m afraid of messing something up. Could you maybe provide an outline on what the sample letter should entail, or maybe direct me to a link with a sample letter? I’d appreciate it so much. Thanks!!</p>
