Northeastern RD, deferred EA Computer Science

Hey! Here are my grades/APs/etc:

GPA: 3.7 UW (upward trend)
AP: two prior to Senior year, one this year. (4 in APWorld and 5 in APUSH).
Honor classes: 2 in Soph/Junior year in addition to AP.
32 ACT.
Good EC’s and 7/8 essay.
Western MA

Losing hope at this point at NU acceptance cuz I was declined from CS @Purdue (although allowed to apply to another major) and CS tends to be competitive.

your gpa is a little low but your stats arent terrible all considering. did you submit a letter of continued interest?

yes @ACollegeHopeful3, figured that could give me an edge over some of the RD’s. think interviewing with a professor could be helpful?

@DontNope i have no idea but if you have the means to do so IRL or over skype i would say go for it, it certainly can’t hurt. i’ve heard of some EA/ED people getting requested for interviews but they generally don’t schedule that sort of thing otherwise so you might also want to call and ask how they handle that.
