Post by justwondering123 » Mon May 02, 2011 2:41 pm

what do they expect out of their candidates i.e.

letters of recc

and i was wondering if any past or current students could tell me about their experiences there?

That is the median so you better have a higher GPA.

A bit easier than it is to get into Harvard, but a bit harder than it is to get into Cornell

Roughly on par with getting into the rest of 7-14. Harder than Cornell.

Seriously OP, read the stickied threads at the top of each sub-forum. You'll learn 90% of what you need to know, then ask questions.
Lurking is healthy.

Also, learn how to spell.

He made the same thread asking about Northwestern

Yes, he even spelled "extracurriculars" wrong in the old thread.
