Chances

I applied to NU ED but I was deferred. My mid-year report will most likely be 3.43 UW with 4 AP’s and 1 Honors. My new senior GPA will most likely be 3.8 UW and 4.2 W. NU is still my first choice, but do I still have a chance? Thanks!:slight_smile:

You have a chance, but I feel it is an uphill battle. NU is Northeastern right?

Chance back? http://talk.qa.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1946391-emory-emory-oxford-wake-forest-davidson-nyu-holy-cross-gw.html#latest

@nicolas23

Yeah, in my experience it’s an uphill battle. Try and express tons of interest to differentiate yourself.

Thanks:)

@illsueyou1999 haha i’m going to keep trying because its really where i want to be. it’s just a little frustrating to have to wait a few more months and my scores are right in the middle range, but many people with scores higher than mine were rejected or deferred. thanks for the response:)
