Admitted to the D’amore Mckim Business School! My major will be International Business with Concentration in Chinese (I was born in China and have had a bi-cultural experience). Planning on Enrolling since I am 4/11 so far in terms of admission. NEU is a great school, the best one I got right now.
SAT I: 2110 (770M, 670CR, 670W)
SATII: Math II 800, Chemistry 670, Biology E 660
Rank: 30%… ok, my high school is ranked in the top 300 in the nation, and it has a bunch of extremely rich and frankly very talented kids with 4.95/5 GPAs, that made me not really stand out)
GPA: 4.41w for my school
AP: Chinese Language and Culture: 5; taking BC Calc, Psychology and Physics this year
Extracurriculars: Engineering club (president), drummer for many many years, movie making and script writing, football (my team won a division title, I was a WR on JV, didn’t really play much), YMCA basketball, and other stuff
Community Service: TA at Sunday Chinese School, worked in the library, summer TA at Asian School
Essay: wasn’t really strong, but I got the point across that I am aware of my bi-lingual and bi-cultural experience and I am proud of my Chinese heritage
Other schools:
I was accepted by UMass Amherst Honors College (on free tuition cus I’m from in-state), U Washington, and Purdue
I got rejected by Wash U, U Illinois (how?), BU (again… how?) and unfortunately, UCLA (my top choice)
and I got wait listed at Georgia Tech, Case Western and UCSD.
still waiting on NYU, when does that come out anyways?

Congratulations to all who were admitted, hope to see you on campus next year. And for those who hadn’t been admitted, good luck to you with your other applications.
