I got waitlisted too. First deferred, now waitlisted. I wish they could just make a damn decision on me instead of just throwing me around like this. It's really frustrating.

GPA: 3.0/3.2 (this is why)
SAT: 1990/1330
ACT: 31
Great essay, very relevant EC's to my major

I'm frustrated and upset.

Sometimes you get waitlisted because it is obvious you are applying as a safety.

1300/1600 SAT and 3.3GPA isnt exactly the stats to have if you consider Northeastern a safety.

you will receive an email saying your admission decision is available, then you head over to the application status website to view the decision

btw i just realized only 7% were accepted. 2800/36000. makes sense why we were all waitlisted.

please1, regarding acceptance rates. Schools admit a much higher number of students than they have spots for in the freshman class because not everyone accepted will attend. I think NEU's acceptance rate last year was around 38%. That probably will go down slightly this year since apps were up

They obviously put a lot of emphasis on GPA. I got in EA w/ a 1210/1600, 1860/2400 SAT, but my GPA was ~3.98 UW.
