<p>So I was deffered from Northeastern University's early action pool. I am a little discouraged but I know all hope is not lost. I'm looking to be a computer engineer and my credentials are as follows: 100.45/100 weighted GPA, 2130 SAT score, 5/187 class rank. I received a 29 on the ACT but did not report it as I felt it would be better to just include the SAT score as the ACT score is not where it should be in my opinion. This year I am in 5 AP classes and am taking 6 tests. It is certaintly a much greater workload than previous years (although those years weren't easy by any means) so I feel my performance in those classes could be a factor in the decision. As of right now, my lowest grade in the classes is a 90. A friend of mine was accepted with lower GPA, SAT, and class rank than me so I know my credentials are at least good enough. I also work 5 days, 27 hrs/wk and am maintaining these grades. I have only once gotten an 89 in freshman year and since have gotten all A's in honors and AP classes.</p>
<p>Some things I plan on doing in order to improve chances are retake the ACT and report community service as that is something I did not include but now realize I should have as Northeastern is big on that. Also the previously stated report of my midterm grades.</p>
<p>So, realistically, what are my chances of turning the defferal into an acceptance? And what should i do to improve those chances? Any help is greatly appreciated. </p>
