Do I have a chance of getting off the honors college waitlist?

So I wrote the essay for the honors college waitlist and was wondering how often kids are thereafter accepted into the honors college. I have a 34 ACT, 4.0 UW GPA, and in my essay I talk about my global perspective and how my activities reflect that. Anyone know if I have a good chance of being taken off the waitlist and being accepted into the honors college?

I didn’t even know there was an honors college wait list. So you were accepted to NEU and not honors and they require you to write an essay and go on a wait list if you want to be in honors?

@suzyQ7 yes, and I believe it’s new this year.

@ap012199 my son and his roommate (hs class of 2016) both were on the honors wait list and got in. Good luck!

@LkL5789 awesome!! Thanks for giving me hope!

@LkL5789 do you remember when your son was notified that he got into the honors program?

@ap012199 it was about 2 weeks after he requested to be on wait list. It was definitely after the May 1 commit date.
