The only way I can afford Northeastern is if I get merit aid (I’m in the awkward area where I don’t qualify for much need based but can’t afford 60k a year). I got deferred with a 3.7 gpa and a 33 act (35 ss). Since I have bumped my GPA up to a 3.86 and gotten a couple of nice honors that I will alert them of. I got deferred Early Action, however. Even disregarding my stats, is there any way one can get deferred, then still get accepted with merit scholarships for regular decision?
If you look at last year’s Rd decision thread here on CC deferred applicants did receive merit aid.
