Schools:
Northeastern - Rejected

BU - deferred from EA, and still waiting
Villanova - deferred from EA, and still waiting
SUNY Bingamton - deferred from EA and now wait listed for RD

Fordham - accepted with minimal scholarship
Hofstra - accepted with 70% scholarship
St. John’s - accepted with 70% scholarship

Loyola - accepted with scholarship

I was very surprised about his rejection and wait listing.

UCLA/UCB and UCSD will be tough admits for BME with current stats however outstanding essays and some unique EC’s may make a difference but too hard to predict. Since you are OOS, make sure you can afford the costs since no FA is available. You need to bump up GPA and test scores to have a decent chance.
Good luck

Son has similar stats. Had great ECs and two awesome recs. He was deferred at northeastern and then accepted to NUin. Accepted to Fordham, LMU, SCU, Temple among others. Honors at Temple. Very high merit at LMU and SCU. If you are depending on merit aid, you might need to add a few more schools that aren’t reaches. Good luck!
