    I have a really unique story but my grades don't tell it all, how can I show that aside from my essay?

      Your Zinch profile is another way to show that you are more than a test score! You can also contact their admissions office to see what else you can do, you can find their contact info here: http://www.ugadm.northwestern.edu/contact/index.html

      Do you accept IB or AP credits or are they disregarded?

        I'm pretty sure they accept both, as long as you score a 5 on the AP scale.

      Hello: I am a prospective student at Northwestern University. While I wait to hear from the admissions office, I would like to know your percentage of international students. I have spent most of my school life overseas attending American schools on military bases so I am used to attending school with a wide range of diverse students. Also, when would decisions be made concerning merit based scholarships? Thanks, Kathy Shoemaker

        In order to save money during the recent recession, what, if anything, has Northwestern cut or reduced? Certain departments, programs?
