<p>Today I recieved the online status check ID. Then I checked my status online. There is one "English proficiency report" under the requirement document. I e-mailed the admission office and they said that non-native English speakers (even though I am a green card holder) have to take the TOEFL exam. Therefore, I couldn't submit the score at least until mid-December (because I am gonna take it in december 3rd) </p>

<p>So my serious question is that, will I get deferred to the regular pool without the TOEFL submitted? (Even though I know the chance of being deferred is almost absolute, I just want you guys' opinion.) I am so stressed out because I heard that early action has a better chance to get in a university.</p>

<p>Call Northeastern.</p>

<p>I really can’t speak for your situation, since I’m a citizen now, but I am a native of Belarus and even though I put Russian as my native language, all I had to do was score a 550 or higher on my SAT and that was it…</p>

<p>They might not even consider your application until the score is in, which would make it regular decision. You need to call admissions.</p>
