Hello…
I would greatly appreciate a chanceme. I applied ED2

Not sure what to make of this so i’ll include it but NEU took 5% of 2019 class from Midwest and I’m from the midwest. For naviance, in 2016-2017 , 63 applied, 19 accepted, 0 enrolled; 2017-2018, 49 applied, 8 accepted, 0 enrolled; 2018-2019, 38 applied, 6 accepted, 1 enrolled. I feel like it will help me that nobody enrolled because I applied ED2 but idk.

No Financial Aid or fee waiver requested
Act: 33
SAT: 1400 but didn’t submit
No subject tests.
Essay was about playing hockey, think it’s. 7.5ish/10?
Rec: 7.5/10?

  • Very hard to judge the above two lol
    ECS: Worked summer job summer before senior year (I put 30hrs/week for 12 weeks)
  • played hockey all 4 years, including the summer and spring too (I just said year long on app and put 9hrs/week/52weeks)
    GPA: UW/W = 3.6/4.22
    Took 3 Ap’s total ( all 3 this year) AP Econ, AP Stats, AP environ. science, upward trend in gpa weighted
    Note: Our schools offers : AP (only junior/seniors), then level 2 (“standard/college prep”), level 3 (“honors”) and level 4 (“High honors”). I took all level 3s throughout freshman-junior (senior was 2 level 3s with 3 aps).
    Major: Economics (if I get in will probably minor in CS)
    NUIN: Said prefer not (the third option (will this hurt my chances? I probably would be willing now because I love this school the more i research it but I submitted the app awhile ago (I got rejected from ED school and switched this from EA to ED2 a week ago)

Thanks for those that respond lol. I know people hate these but Im extremely bored and just dying to get to Feb already…will be so upset if I dont get in lol

Hi, I am not super knowledgable but noticed there were no other replies so I thought I would give it a go. From what I can tell, I have pretty similar stats to you (more ecs but lower act). I would say GPA is definitely on the lower side but applying ED should help. As for saying no to NU-in, I find that often people on the edge like us get offered the program or are rejected so I do think it will hurt your chances. If you are interested in computer science, I would just apply there straight. I talked to an admission counselor and they don’t admit by major so it wouldn’t affect your application. Not sure that was much help but good luck!
