<p>Catalina418: What you just did is "hijack" a thread. Meaning, you just stole someone else's thread. IN this case it was pepygirl's.
Go to the section of What are my chances and go to forum tools (at the top right) and then go to create new thread.....No offense intended</p>
<p>There's nothing wrong with white girls from Long Island! My daughter is one, and she's a very happy Northeastern freshman.</p>
<p>What do I know, but I think that you're a solid candidatejust the kind of student that NU is trying to attract. If you upped your SAT scores to the 2100 areas, you could be a candidate for the Honors Program, especially with your GPA and tough curriculum.</p>
<p>If you decide that the school is for you, be sure that the admissions officers are clear that you want to attendnot that they think you're using the school as a safety.</p>
