<p>I dont want to make sad excuses but the truth is due to my lack of effort in 9th and 10th grade my GPA is rather low. iIt is a 86.6 on the average high school scale and a 3.1 on the 4.0 scale, I believe. My SAT score is a 1780. I have quiet a few extracurricular activities (clubs,sports, etc) and comm. service. So please be brutally honest, i don't want my hopes high for a rejection letter. What are my chances? Also how can i write a great college essay that will take away some criticism from my grades and increase my chance for NEU? thanks. </p>
<p>I do not want to be bad messenger, but I think you have little chance. By looking at last year’s acceptance grades 3.9 and up and SAT’s,>2000, your’s results are really low. But…maybe this year will be different. Until you have “no” email or letter from NEU, you still have a hope, even a tinny tinny one. Question: maybe you are american indian grand grand daughter/son? Then you are in. No joke. Start looking. </p>
