<p>I really don't know enough about Admissions to chance you, I do know that every year it gets tougher to get in. However, I have noticed that it sometimes is easier to transfer into NEU as a sophomore than it is to be admitted as a freshman. Keep that in mind if you end up enrolling at another school, but are still interested in NEU. Good Luck!</p>

<p>thanks a lot, I definitely will consider transferring if i dont get in.
Also, I applied to the college of Arts and Science if that makes any difference and I scored a 9 on the SAT Essay</p>
