EA Decision Thread - Class of 2018

<p>I got in as well! My cheeks hurt because I can’t stop smiling!</p>

<p>Congrats LadyPikachu!</p>

<p>Deferred. T_T</p>

<p>Had a 2180 SAT and a 3.7 GPA, but got 2 Cs in Q1 of Senior year. Also had no outstanding ECs, awards, or honors. This was supposed to be my safety school but looks like I’m going to community college now.</p>

<p>Also got deferred. Only had a 1860 SAT but still was expecting to get in. Not really bummed about getting deferred as much as I am worried about my chances at Northeastern now.</p>

<p>Sorry Khorik, I’m surprised you got deferred! Don’t give up hope–I still think you have a pretty good shot!</p>

<p>Accepted! :slight_smile:
(2290 SAT and 3.9 W GPA if it matters. School doesn’t “unweight” so I don’t know my UW)
This is my top choice tied with Northeastern, so I’m very pleased :slight_smile: first acceptance too :D</p>

<p>D2 accepted in nj
Attended camp this summer at wpi
Also awaiting northeastern
Deferred at cwru
Need to show interest, since schools have so many qualified applicants</p>

<p>Congrats guys! Funny, I’m also eagerly awaiting Northeastern. See you all on the EA Northeastern thread? lol</p>

<p>I got accepted too! (2020 SAT, 33 ACT)</p>

<p>Did anyone hear anything about merit scholarships? I was expecting to but I didn’t! I am also eagerly awaiting Northeastern :p</p>

<p>Deferred as well I have a 3.2 GPA 2030 SAT, 750 M, had a 3.5 first quarter senior year but a C- in AB Calc. Extremely nervous for Northeastern now. Oh well.</p>

<p>Congrats to everyone accepted! To those who didn’t make it the first round, you still have a shot, don’t give up!</p>

<p>Awww for some reason I didn’t apply to Northeastern EA but I applied RD. Gosh darn, more waiting. Dx</p>

<p>I’ll post some more detailed stats for future people looking at this thread:</p>

<p>SAT: 2210 M790, W710, CR710
SAT II’s: Chem 760, Math 2 770, USH 760
Top 5%, 4.5 W GPA, 3.9 UW</p>

<p>I’m an Asian female…yipeeeee</p>

<p>I forgot to post my stats (I was accepted):</p>

<p>SAT: 1980 (640 Math, 660 Reading, 680 Critical Writing)
SAT IIs: 630 Math 2, 690 Math 1
GPA: 3.9
Interview: Pretty good
EC’s: Lots of them–probably the only reason I got accepted</p>

<p>Also, Asian male</p>

<p>DS got accepted and is thrilled…this was his top choice. 2270/3.35UW 5.35W/Full IB/Eagle Scout/NMSF…</p>

<p>I feel interest was key: we visited last March and he interviewed in October with regional rep and exchanged a few emails with the latter. DS got deferred from CWRU, having not visited or interviewed (although we did request an alumni interview) and I think that may have made a difference.</p>

<p>Will post full profile if someone would be so kind as to post the template…;)</p>

SAT: 2060 (700 M, 640 CR, 720 WR)

<p>ultimateisasport: Did you find any announcement from WPI or any other source that provided data to support your statement? Anyone see anything yet that reported the %accepted from the EA pool? I noticed other schools were pretty quick to release that data.</p>

<p>My S accepted: GPA: 88.5 (no significant weighting factor compared with other schools)
10 total honors/AP courses (mostly math/science)
ACT: 28 (Math-32)

Fair amount of ECs with leadership roles
I am a female who applied for Architectural Engineering and I wrote my essay about building and designing structures/small scale houses in my backyard.
I showed a lot of interest because I visited, interviewed, met with a professor, and had a lot of email back and forths with my admissions person.
I also submitted a supplemental flex path with a computer drafted model airplane from my 10th grade engineering principles class and a house that I designed in my architecture class last year. Both projects won awards at the local county fair.</p>

<p>Would take Northeastern over WPI, but WPI was my #5 school so it is very nice to be accepted. </p>

<p>@khorik, I am very surprised you were deferred, I would expect you would get in somewhere else if not here. Best of luck. Perhaps you were deferred to see if your Q1 grades went up? I would say you’ve still got a great chance here.</p>

<p>
