Deferred

4.1 GPA
31 ACT
9 APs
Was being looked at by Harvard for sports
Have an offer from NYU for sports
But deferred from northeastern…

Northeastern deferred many applicants that they often will accept RD. Northeastern also would not care about the sports aspect if you were not being actively recruited. Does that help?

I’m a little surprised. Although being deferred probably means you will just be accepted in regular decision. But your GPA and ACT seem good enough for NE. One thing that might be the case is your extracurriculars may be lacking and if they are not recruiting you for the sport, that does not factor in greatly.
