<p>Your extracurriculars are solid! But, your SAT score is on the low end of the 25%- 75%
SAT Critical Reading: 630 / 720
SAT Math: 650 / 740
SAT Writing: 610 / 710</p>

<p>Hopefully your ECs on top of your stellar GPA can really help! I think you have a good shot. Hopefully I’ll see you next year at Northeastern!</p>

<p>Had you applied EA you’d probably have been deferred. They were very numbers driven this year (and often, due to their 40k+ applicants) and the fact that you “don’t test well” doesn’t bode well for you. Good luck!</p>
