I applied early because when I toured, I had an overwhelming feeling Northwestern was the place for me.
Should have gone to Georgetown.

I made very high test scores and graduated number one out of over 800 matriculants in my Texas high school

My grades were good and I was fairly involved. I was from a small town which helped. I had good credentials
Take AP level courses, challenge your mind in high school. If you are afraid of doing bad in high level courses in high school, it will bite you in the back once you get to college.

no shit.
just say how MUCH you wanna get in. (esp. ED)
well. then prove it. with certain analogy and praises.
That will get you in =] , but think about it. it's TOUGH life here.

I got good grades, good SAT/ACT scores, and did some Extra-curricular activities. DO NOT bank on stories you've heard of people getting in with failing grades and blah blah, there are stories like that about EVERY SCHOOL. Least of all, don't use those anecdotes as a reason to go to any school.

Just be yourself. Everyone is special, and if your application shows that you are indeed different that the rest, then they might accept you.

Umm I filled out the application. And sent it in. On time. My friend who goes here messed up his application 3 times. So I guess you don't even have to get that right...

Visit campus, attend alumni interview sessions.

I had absolutely fantastic connections, which probably assisted quite a bit. My rec letter actually came from a former Northwestern admissions counselor, and my mom works for ENH research (Northwestern Healthcare). As for my scores, I submitted my SATS: 2150/1440 (new/old). But scores are only one factor of a huge spectrum..
Northwestern really values community service, so I suggest that you participate in some projects during HS. Also, be sure to show some interest in the arts (and if you really want to score points with them - theater!). An interview is key...it really lets them see the person behind the paper. If you can't get to Evanston, try to schedule an interview in your own state.
Good luck!

Academic ability is an important criteria for admission. Score well in SAT, ACT. Make sure you take advanced courses from your high school and have a decent GPA. Extra-curriculars would also be good to have.
Good luck after all...
