<p>Yo so I was deferred from Northeastern, my first choice, and have changed a few things since. All that I list may seem a bit excessive, but I really want to go to Northeastern and I just don't see myself anywhere else. I know this seems silly since i already got into truly nice places like Pitt, PSU main, but I really feel like I belong at NEU.
As for Drexel and Delaware, I'm not really concerned, but curious.</p>
<p>GPA
UW: 3.4 (I know it's bad)
W: >4.0
Weighted is so high because I've taken 6 AP classes (3 this year and 3 last year) and everything else all honors. I also know this is irrelevant, considering Northeastern recalculates GPA.</p>
<p>SAT
When I was deferred, my superscore of 2 tries was...
590 CR 630 M 690 W = 1910
After getting deferred, I worked my a** off for a month and took the January SAT:
680 CR 700 M 700 W = 2080 in just that one sitting.</p>

<p>And as a bonus, I had a discussion with the director of admissions in my region about my deferral etc. Apparently the email I sent was added to my application because of all the thought I put into it.
Please be honest.</p>
