Spread the Knowledge. In high school, math was definitely my best subject and I was interested in potentially going to an undergraduate business school. However, over time, once I started doing more research and became more educated, I realized that there are so many other factors that would influence my college search — and that the University of Pennsylvania may not be the best fit for me.
It was not all about rank and having an undergraduate business school, but also about the location of the school, size, school spirit, variety of extracurricular opportunities such as clubs, organizations, and Greek Life , and study abroad opportunities.
This was one of the main reasons why I chose not to apply to UPenn in the end. I also realized that I did not have to close myself off by only applying to colleges with undergraduate business schools. Prior to doing any research, I thought the only way you could get a successful job in the business field or get into a good business school was to go to a college with an undergraduate business school.
I also discovered that many employers value a liberal arts education -- and the analytic, teamwork, and communication skills that accompany it, which are all necessary to have in the business world. This is when I started to consider and learn about other colleges — including Northwestern. I visited seven schools, Northwestern being the first one out of the seven that I visited.
This was the first time I had ever been to the campus — and I fell in love with it right away. I went for a guided tour and I was blown away by the beauty of the campus and was in awe of the resources and programs available on campus.
Also, while I was nervous about the quarter system and how fast-paced it is, on the tour they explained how the quarter system really allows you to have time explore various majors and career paths — and take the classes that interest you. Additionally, I was really drawn to the close-knit community and how friendly everyone was on campus.
I remember asking a student walking by if she had any lunch recommendations — she was so happy to help and ended up giving a long list of places that we should try. That small interaction made me really excited about the people at Northwestern. While there were aspects of each school I liked, there was no question that Northwestern was my favorite school. After an extensive amount of research, visits to seven different schools, and a lot of thought, I applied to Northwestern early decision.
While Northwestern is still a very highly ranked school, there were so many other more important reasons why I eventually chose to apply early decision ED there. First and foremost, my mom is a Northwestern alumna, and she raved about her experience from the valuable lessons she learned to the lifelong friends she made. However, I was never forced to apply to Northwestern because of my mom and the legacy pressure. While my mom encouraged me to look into applying to Northwestern, I ended up making the decision to apply completely on my own.
