<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>
