Definitely do not attend if you aren't a go-getter / semi-competitive / intelligent student. If for some reason you were accepted into Northwestern and do not fit these qualifications, the chances are that you will get chewed up with the competition and intelligence at this school.

Additionally, to those who cannot stand cold weather, stay far away.

People who aren't driven to create their own experience. There is a wealth of opportunities here, but if you can't go and seek them out, this is not the place for you.

Slackers.

People who aren't very academically motivated shouldn't attend this school. Also, students who want to party every night of the week without having to do any school work shouldn't expect to enjoy this school.

People who are anti-social shouldn't attend this school.

People who are overwhelmed easily.

Uber-introverted and shy. You need to be able to hold your own here and take initiative, or else you will just be swallowed up into the masses.
