[/ul]General Comments: So happy that I got a full tuition scholarship! Northeastern will be a strong contender.</p>

<p>Lol I was rejected but I don’t feel like typing up that fancy thing. I got a 1730 on the sat and I have a 3.5 gpa and tons of ECs (girl scouts, published writer, etc) my recs we’re probably average and I thought my essay was good but obviously not good enough. I knew there was no way I could get in with my sat score and gpa and I was right but, hey, it was worth a shot. Good luck to everyone applying RD!</p>
