woah the number of high stat students that got deferred is kind of crazy. I expected to get into North Eastern and wasn’t really shocked by my acceptance (because of Naviance). But now I feel incredibly blessed and lucky.

General Comments: I gave it my all… and I’m not giving up. Deferral ain’t stopping me. Process is a bit unfair in my opinion but it’s out of my control. Congrats to the ppl who got in you guys deserved it way more than me! To my fellow deferees, hang in there: maybe the admissions gods will give us a second look. To those rejected, don’t be too hard on yourself, the college process is a crapshoot, a crapshoot that plays big favorites.
Yours truly,
handep

Congrats to everyone that got accepted, to those that didn’t, you’ll find your place!! To those waiting for usc merit this week, we’re all in this together.
Hi all- I’ve spent the past couple of hours reading (most of) these frantic posts. As a current NU student, I remember three years ago feeling this same stress around decision time. I applied EA, and am sitting with a friend who did, too. She was deferred, I was not, but here we are now, together, both at Northeastern. Point being: decisions are stressful. College is certainly stressful. But, take the time to enjoy this present time in life before making this big change to college. It’s easy to want all the answers and options laid out at once- I’m certainly calling the kettle black with that one. But be patient, and believe that everything happens for a reason. 
Accepted from CA!!
