Donā€™t get discouraged!!! Some schools weight GPAā€™s differentlyā€¦ I donā€™t really know where I stand either because my school has an awkward GPA scale. My GPA isnā€™t bad at all but I know itā€™s a little low for a prestigious school like NEU.

Doesnā€™t NU have some hints on their portal like other universities like Purdue does?

what would those be?

my school is the same! I think Northeastern re-calculates GPAs to make them more even so maybe that will help us

I have the same Gpa as you. Northeasternā€™s been my dream school for as long as I could remember, but the more research I do, the less confident I am that Iā€™ll even get a deferral. I would be happy even just getting differed. I hear of people whoā€™s essays/recommendations gave them that push and got them accepted so letā€™s just hope! Good luck to you :slight_smile:
