<p>Does anyone here know how much, if at all, having contact with admisions helps?</p>
<p>I have been in contact with the admission counselor who will be reviewing my application for a few months now. We have talked back and forth through E-mail and he recommended some colleges I apply to and even referred me to an officer at the college he used to work for.</p>
<p>I have strongly expressed to him how much I would like to be there and that NU is my first choice. </p>
<p>I am very nervous about being excepted, my stats are a tad below average for NU</p>
<p>Hmmm. I haven’t heard of an admissions counselor referring students to other schools. I am a little surprised as your stats aren’t that far off. Maybe he is just trying to give you some ideas to make sure you didn’t apply to only one school.</p>
<p>I think it is a good idea to let them know that it is your first choice , but keep the options open for other schools as well. Also, which school are you applying to ?</p>
<p>The reason he told me to apply to another school is because I told him I applied to only 2 other schools and got denied from both ( penn state and maryland)</p>
<p>you shouldn’t have told him that especially after you told him that NU was your first choice
now it just seems like northeastern’s your third choice</p>
