23

<p>Here is a scattergram of the students who applied from my school to NEU. I figured you guys might want to see this… </p>

<p>r1deprkcty, where are you from? I’m only asking because the scattergram of my school shows very different data than yours. My school (which is in MA) had most students get in, and many who applied fell lower on the graph than your school. I’m starting to think that maybe Northeastern prefers MA students.</p>

27

<p>I was deferred
3.7 weighted gpa and 26 ACT
good EC’s with mostly honors and AP
Im asian</p>

28

<p>I got deferred as well. Here are my stats:</p>

<p>3.88 UW GPA
Top 20% of class
1960 SAT (670 CR, 640 M, 650 W)
All honors and AP classes
Almost 1,000 hours of community service
Good ECs, Great Recs and Essay
I’m from NH</p>

<p>So compared to the average acceptances, I don’t know what they want from applicants. I’m sure we’ll have better luck in April.</p>

<p>I’m from New Jersey, but I was the only IB candidate to be deferred in my school out of the 9 or so that applied to NEU. I think my biggest problem is my reading score on the SAT. Its a 530 where as my Math score is a 770, huge difference doesnt look so good i guess. But then again, the kid above is much better off than I am so I’m not sure why he was not Accepted, his scores seem promising. What program did you guys apply to? I applied to the Computer Science program.</p>

<p>for ea, they only accept students that they know are 100% slam dunks. deferral is NOT the end of the road (for ea anyway). it simply means you were not that much better than the avg student who applies, so they will put you into the rd pool. </p>

<p>skimming through your stats, you seem like the typical applicants who apply to neu.</p>

<p>from my high school, the avg student who applied had 1989 sat and 3.59 gpa weighted. </p>

<p>the avg ne profile:

31

<p>alright i am so confused as to why i was deffered. I have a 3.8 gpa, which is the average accepted from my highschool, and about a 1900 on the SATS with a few extracurriculars. Looking at the naviance graph, i figured northeastern was a target, maybe even safety school. hate to say it, but being deffered makes me not even like northeastern anymore</p>

32

<p>You can’t get angry at a school for being more selective than you expected.</p>

<p>The bar is being raised every year, and with the extra +/-23% apps, I’m sure several deserving individuals were deferred.</p>

33

<p>I’ve heard that NU has been using the “Tuft’s” admission process lately. Deferring students who seem to be using NU as a safety school, in order to give it to people who really want it.</p>

34

<p>@chaymck Your stats put you at about the cutoff for those admitted vs deferred, based on what I see here on CC. It could be that those with lower stats who were admitted may have a URM or athletic or other hook that we are not aware of.</p>

35

<p>I was accepted with a relatively low GPA (3.3), but a high SAT score (2080). To me at least, as I’ve noticed it from these forums and other friends who applied to Northeastern and were deferred/rejected, they seem to place heavier emphasis on SAT scores than GPA. Just my opinion, but it seems to be a trend.</p>

36

<p>

</p>

<p>exactly, you were AVERAGE. they accept above avg students ea, and defer you if you are average, to see how the rd pools stands and how you compare.</p>

37

<p>alright can someone tell me why i was deffered?
im out of state and applied for the health major</p>

<p>3.7 weighted gpa…around 3.3 unweighted
670 math sats
710 critical reading
520 writing
solid extra curriculars
10 varsity letters and considering running at NE</p>

<p>my senior year grades blow…should i retake the sats?</p>

38

<p>I think you answered your own question - lower GPA, low WR score.</p>

39

<p>i always thought most schools generally disregarded SAT writing?</p>

40

<p>The Northeastern website specifically states that they do look at the Writing section of the SAT.</p>
