As for Recommendations, I know that I have two pretty strong recommendations, one from my AP Lang teacher and the other from my engineering teacher.

Essay, my essay is pretty solid. Wrote about how i visited psychiatric asylums in India and how it showed me that i can make the best of my circumstances and of those around me.

Thank you!!!

You are a good applicant, but NU can be difficult. Given the information shared, not sure anyone can offer you a definitive answer either way. They definitely accept people to engineering with similar profiles to yours, but also fail to accept just as many. I hope you get what you want.

I see what you mean. I will probably get deferred but thank you for your input

I agree with @michaeluwill in the sense that to me this looks like not a safety but well worth the application. One daughter got into NEU with similar stats, but an easier major. Also, it ended up not being affordable for us.

I will assume that you have other safeties.

Do you have any budget restrictions?
