<p>Wrote a very good essay</p>

<p>Planning on writing a letter elaborating on my extracirriculars, and explaing that northeastern is my #1 choice.</p>

<p>made a few visits to the school including open houses (idk if they look at that stuff or not...)</p>

<p>So what do you think are my chances?</p>

2

<p>i dont you thats neccessary you are more than qualified just sit back and wait for the acceptance letter</p>

3

<p>really? b/c i applied for architecture and i know thats the hardest (or one of the hardest) programs to get into...</p>

4

<p>ya you have fine sats and a good gpa now i dont know the acceptance rate into the architecutre program but i know at least you'll get accepted to the general studies program</p>

5

<p>what do u mean by general studies? do you mean i can still get into a different major, even if i didnt apply for it? i didnt know NEU did that, but if they do then i'd be very happy. at this point i dont even care what major it is, i just want to go to NEU, more than i want anything in the world...</p>

6

<p>okay so i retook the SAT's and went up by 160 overall. i got a 620 on CR, 690 on math, and 710 on writing. 2020 overall. can anyone chance me please?</p>

<p>I think your pretty much set. Your test scores are good, you've got ok ec's...i think for architecture you need to submit some form of portfolio? I think...not sure...but if you did, how'd that come out? BTW i don't know why you were deferred....from what i've heard though, i think alot of people were deferred.</p>

<p>thanks, yea true they did defer a lot. and luckily architecture at NEU doesent even accept portfolios...let alone require them...so no i didnt need one of those. also i got an e-mail from the woman who is supposedly handling my application (we had spoken on the phone and she said retake the SAT)...so anyway in this e-mail she said "WOW, i just saw your new SAT scores, GREAT JOB!" idk if that means anything but she sounded very enthuastic, so that was encouraging...</p>

<p>i think you should get in</p>
