Accepted from CT.
GPA 4.80/5.0 on Naviance, SAT 1480. Lots of extracurriculars- swimming, flute, three club presidents. Boarding school. Strong recs, top of the class.
Accepted TN, 36 ACT, 3.9 UW gpa, CS. Good ECs but not tech related. $16k scholarship and honors. Still really expensive.
When we set up our portal does that mean we are accepting the offer?

Strengths: GPA, extracurriculars
Weaknesses: definitely my math II score and my Calc BC score, no major awards, SAT not that high
Why you think you were accepted/deferred/rejected: definitely my GPA and courseload, also I’m a very passionate person and I think I was able to convey that in my extracurriculars and my essay

[ b]General Comments & Advice:** Make sure your Common App essay conveys something important about you. I was very honest and talked about how having an abusive parent made me an absolute control freak and how I learned to let go of my desire for control. Also, Northeastern definitely values GPA very highly.
Anyone accepted as a Politics, Philosophy, and Economics major?
