[quote=Anonymous]The kids I know who got in don’t seem to fit a common pattern except bright, nice kids who seem genuinely interested in learning. My kid had high SAT and high grades (not perfect)—challenging course load but not “the most” challenging (eg Calc BC, not multivariate). They had a bunch of activities including one that they were very involved in and had an outside recommendation for that activity that I am sure helped. I think they probably came across as a study nerd who was also outgoing/social … that seems to be sort of the northwestern sweet spot. Lots of kids with diverse interests who want to double major.
