kzone: Isn't Northwestern the hard school to get accepted too?

[edit]

I got a letter from Northwestern College saying that I'm on the "wait list."

[saera]

Do any of you guys have kids at your school who got into amazing schools b/c of athletics?

One kid in going to swim for Princeton, another is gonna play water polo for Stanford, and other girl (who apparently is on the Olympic team - or trains with them or something) is going to Stanford for gymnastics.

=X This is when I wish my parents made me do sports.

[l jennzie xOxO l]

haha yeah ^^ Harvard for footbal last year and two guys this year are looking at both Harvard and University of Chicago for football as well...it's only because we won state a year ago or so for football. So for some reason if they're decently smart? They stand a great shot. X_X haha

yea. my friend got "recruited" by Dartmouth for soccer. but she's still an amazing student with great overal grades on top of that, and esp. has a knack for Spanish -- she spent her whole previous summer living with a host family in spain. :] so hooray for her!




PS: congrats kzone! you're so lucky to be able to fully reap the benefits of senior status now

Hahaa, I think it is. that's what everybody told me. But yeah, it is 10x easier to get into
besides Priceton or Havard. Har har.

And Yes. There are two Northwestern University/College that people get mixed up. Northwestern College is a Christian school while the other one is just a normal school.. I guess. HAHAHA. My junior friend want to apply for Northwestern University. x] Because they have her "major." But then again, I thought every college should atleast your major. lol. I hope I get changed to admitted. My mom will kill if she found out that I didn't got accept to where my sister attend. HAHA. Oh well..

General Comments:
Ahh, I knew I'd get into Eau Claire and Stout--those are pretty easy to get into and I was undecided for my major for those two schools. However, for UM, I was solid in what I wanted and I really do think that was the one thing that got me in because I intended on majoring in either 'English' or 'Asian Languages and Literatures' and that isn't too common. I'm still waiting on UW-Madison, which I sent in a bit later. Gosh, I'm so happy I got into UM. ^____^;



Ahh, Jenzieee! You're so smart!
