*Official EA Thread Class of 2016*

<p>Try not to worry! You are more than a GPA! The school is going to look at everything you have submitted, including letters of recs, essays, difficulty of classes you have taken at your HS.</p>

<p>I’m torn between NEU and Tufts. </p>

<p>It’s definitely coming down to who rejects me or gives me more money. Lol. </p>

<p>NEU Honors Program would be a deal maker though. </p>

<p>I’m applying to:
NEU - submitted
UMASS Amherst - submitted
Tufts
Johns Hopkins
Stanford
Harvard</p>

<p>Good luck in the college hunt everyone.</p>

<p>Does anyone else’s application status check say they haven’t submitted a recommendation letter? That was the first thing I submitted and it was even confirmed over the phone in October they have it, but it is still listed as a required document on the status check. So I’m worried that for some reason it has been misplaced and now they are unable to review my application.</p>

<p>@eric2dea - How many letters of recommendation’s did you send in? It says on their website for required material, gc recommendation and teachers recommendation so I am guessing they need three? My D’s school sends out 3 to all schools. So if you only sent in one that is why it says there is still one missing.</p>

<p>Good luck to everyone! </p>

<p>Here’s where I applied to other than Northeastern:</p>

<p>Penn State(accepted)
Syracuse
Boston University
Boston College
UConn-EA
Binghamton-EA
Geneseo
Drexel(accepted)
UMass-EA</p>

<p>Northeastern only requires one guidance recommendation and one teacher recommendation. </p>

<p>You may send up to two teacher recommendations, however. </p>

<p>This is plainly stated on the CommonApp website under school forms for the school you are applying to.</p>

<p>I think if you only sent one recommendation, they might wonder why. Unless you are absolutely stellar on everything, I would get two recommendations.</p>

<p>Northeastern is my number one choice at this point, although pitt and gettysburg aren’t far behind…</p>

<p>I also applied to…</p>

<p>Boston College
Boston University
Drexel University
Franklin and Marshall
Gettysburg
Maryland
Penn State (accepted)
Pitt (accepted)</p>

<p>I was just reiterating what the CommonApp said how NU only requires one. </p>

<p>Also, sometimes getting more recommendations isn’t a good thing. A lot of times, colleges will view high numbers of recommendations as you trying to make up for something that you may be lacking. </p>

<p>Two is a good idea, but I don’t recommend more than that. </p>

<p>Again, just reiterating information I have been given.</p>

<p>Did you guys send first marking period grades??</p>

<p>I believe they were sent by my school - I think they asked for them as soon as they were available.</p>

<p>@skipflipdp</p>

<p>I don’t think anyone sent them. You’re not supposed to, because your counselors have to send your mid reports to all of your colleges either way.</p>

<p>Yeah Ea candidates don’t send the first quarter grades. They just have to send an updted transcript at the time of applying</p>

<p>I sent in mine about 2 weeks ago.</p>

<p>Updated grades can mean first quarter. My GC sent the “optional report” from commonapp which included my 1st quarter grades. 2 weeks ago.</p>
