<p>Sorry, but that’s definitely not true. On the day of the decisions, there were several people that were accepted with SATs much lower than 2000. There were also people denied with SATs much higher. The fact of the matter is, you can’t base it on just one thing. Every college weights things differently, and so do the majors within the college. Northeastern is no different. I have a friend at Northeastern, and I have made extensive contact with my regional admissions counselor since I was deferred. They have both said the same thing; it’s about the whole package. Don’t try to do anything new now, because they’re going to know it’s out of desperation. The best thing to do is email your regional admissions counselor and say you would definitely enroll if accepted, if that is the case. Explain why the school is a good fit for you. Sound knowledgeable on the program you intend to pursue. Discuss anything special about you. Ask questions. Fill them in on anything new since November. Above all, do not sound desperate. If you can’t handle a deferment with grace; they are not going to be impressed.</p>
