<p>seems like a mistake</p>
<p>Ahhhh, I feel like it’s a mistake, but I don’t want to be modest! Do you think my guidance counselor could have them re-check my admissions decision??</p>
<p>Also…
Do I still have significant chances of getting accepted with a good scholarship?</p>
<p>*in Regular Decision</p>
<ol>
<li>You’ll be accepted in RD</li>
<li>You most likely will get a good scholarship</li>
<li>Maybe look for ways to know more about neu? or make it seem as if you are interested</li>
</ol>
<p>Thanks, I’m hoping for the best.</p>
<p>Admissions rarely make mistakes.</p>
<p>I know it sucks that you got deferred, but there is always a reason behind their reasoning. Honestly, the only thing you can do is call them or send them a letter expressing how much you love the school.</p>
<p>There’s always going to be people with worse stats than your own that get into a particular college that you don’t. It’s inevidable, and it’s going to happen all the time.</p>
<p>It could have been the major they were applying for, their ECs, their recommendations may have been better, it could have been whether or not they were female or male. It could have been anything!</p>
<p>You have an excellent shot at the RD pool, and like everyone else, I think you’ll get in. I know it doesn’t make sense to you that you got deferred and your classmates got accepted with less impressive stats, but it happens.</p>
<p>Kelley59 speaks wise words.</p>
<p>My child went through the same thing with private high school admissions… students with way low qualifications got in and she was put on the waiting list… she was ranked very very high…</p>
<p>I’d recommend that you contact the admissions after the news years yourself, not your parents. Asking them nicely on what would help make your application stronger and keep sending thme your new information, awards, report cards, etc.</p>
<p>Maybe even writing another essay to express your sincere desire to attend, if that’s what you really want. Work with your guidance counselor and make it happen.</p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
<p>mannn that sucks! good luck with RD!</p>
<p><em>cough</em> massive thread hijacking going on by a couple people. But yea admissions has their reasons, and I doubt its the tufts syndrome.</p>
<p>Well apparently this Guy was victim to a rare mistake. Btw Congrats on your admission dude who started this thread</p>
<p>Yeah thanks. They called me the next day. Said they mixed up my transcript with another kid from my school.</p>
<p>oh man… i feel bad for the kid who got the phone call that they had actually been deferred.</p>
<p>So dramski, was your deferral changed to an acceptance? Any scholarship offer? (What about pain and suffering? mental anguish? damage to your reputation?) That is surprising to hear of an actual mistake. And here I thought NEU had hired a consultant several years ago that designed a program to improve their ranking which included a sophisticated model that predicts whether accepted candidates will actually attend. They use the model to improve their yield stats which of course involves rejecting certain overqualified candidates determined to be unlikely to actually attend.</p>
<p>Yeah it was changed from a deferral to an acceptance. Evidently they contacted my school’s guidance department the very next morning because they thought they may have had a mixup (I don’t know how they figured it out because I hadn’t even called or mailed yet). My guidance counselor spent all day trying to get them another copy of my transcript and by seventh period she was able to get me into her office and we called one of the admissions counselors. He explained that there was some mistake and said I was accepted and was invited to the Honors Program and would be receiving a Dean’s Scholarship (17K/freshmen yr, then 8500/semester after that). I was really surprised too.</p>
<p>wow, that’s awesome you got accepted into Honors Program with scholarship after that. congrats!</p>
<p>what college did you get accepted to?</p>
<p>Business Administration</p>
<p>good ol’ BSBA, gotta love their strange standards.</p>
<p>Also, in case it hasn’t been pointed out yet by anyone, applying at undeclared is actually worse for you. They have caps on how many people can be accepted per major, and while the undeclared cap is pretty high, imagine just how many students apply as undeclared. It makes it much harder for you to get in. I’m not sure if that is the same for engineering undeclared (being harder to get in than engineering declared), but it is certainly the case for the generic undeclared.</p>
<p>yeah, I would agree with that - but hopefully not engineering undeclared.</p>
