<p>Are you sure you got deferred from the Honors College and not NEU? Im surprised you didn’t get in with those scores. I’m sorry but usually if your application does not undergo significant improvements (i.e. huge SAT/ACT surge or you solved Ebola), the chances of being not accepted as EA will likewise be slimmer as RD.

<p>they gave scholarships to ppl with 2200+ and accepted ppl under 2000 sat. They deferred everyone in between becuz they know they can get into better schools and might not choose NEU.</p>

<p>@yoyoyo1234: According to your posting history you were denied at NYU so your theory doesn’t apply to you. </p>

<p>I think that your scores are really good and even if you were deferred you will probably get in :slight_smile: Chance back? <a href=“Chance me for Vassar I'll chance back :) - Vassar College - College Confidential Forums”>Chance me for Vassar I'll chance back :) - Vassar College - College Confidential Forums;
