Deferred-FL

Everybody getting in with stats way lower than mine has my confidence at an all time low. I feel like someone must have sabotaged me! Though a lot of other people who got deferred have high stats like me so maybe they just want to protect their yield

Deferred as well. Don’t have time to post stats as I will do it sometime later. Will I be allowed to submit a letter of continued interest?

LOCI should include a sort of “Why Northeastern?” essay. It should show that you are familiar with what Northeastern is all about e.g. experiential learning/coop, study abroad etc. It should not be a “Why Boston” essay.
