[quote=Anonymous]My white kid got jn RD. 3.9 UW, 4.86 W GPA from public magnet STEM program applying for theatre. Theatre at NU is highly competitive, but she also has pro experience and a regional acting award. Also, national speaking awards, state music, regional composing and science. 1560 SAT. Did not expect to get in. Did not visit due to distance/covid but contacted AO with award updates and write very specific essays.

Another friend got in from same STEM program with less diverse achievements but probably more awards/ECs overall for music dual degree. Also RD

Another friend got rejected ED, not from magnet. Great all around student with some good awards but not as many or as diverse as the two above.

I know a few other non magnet kids did get in but not sure if they were ED or RD.

I think the key is to look as special as possible (variety of accolades/activities and contact to update) and make them feel as special as possible (serious essay detail). I would agree w/ applying ED if you can. I think they take 1/2 the class ED.  Good luck.
