<p>Colleges that accepted me:
Northeastern- with excellence scholarship 12K a year
Drexel- with deans scholarship (13K a year) and admittance to honors college</p>

<p>Got deferred from:
Villanova</p>

<p>AU and Villanova are my top two choices. Now that i’m deferred from nova, and it looks like i have no chance of getting in RD, what are my chances at American?</p>

<p>i did interview as well, and went on a tour if that helps. also i’m planning to do another visit in february.</p>

<p>david, I’d have to say that you’re in as well. You too have the beast EC’s so that can only help, and your SAT scores are good and above average for American. The only thing is that I know nothing about your school’s grading system, so I don’t know exactly what a 6.43 comes out to be haha.</p>

<p>bump. any other thoughts?</p>
