[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here: Back after a nice trip through the Midwest to check out some of the schools mentioned here. Oberlin was ok, but DS is not thrilled about LACs. DS thought that Case would be a good safety but wasn't thrilled about the music program. He really liked Chicago and Northwestern, but that may have been a bit biased as we had professor friends who took us around after the official tours. NW gets a big edge in DS' view because of its music school. So Case is definitely on the list as a safety (and we checked off the demonstrated interest box!)[/quote]

Spend a lot of time studying what Northwestern likes. They love an interdisciplinary academic spike. So your kid already has music. I don’t know what the other ones are.

Show a lot of demonstrated interest with engagement with the alumni conversations or cat chat if they have it.

The other thing they’re focused on is impact in your local community or school. Make sure the letters of recommendation and the activities speak to your kids impact in high school.

The 3 essays are everything…spend weeks/months and get professional editing (northwestern likes a heartfelt well written emotional essay).
