I was an NU.in student in the Fall of 2014 and I remember feeling similar to how you currently feel. I believe what suzyQ7 is true, but even still, 2 of my 3 other NU.in roommates were well above the 75th percentile for GPA/SAT for the entering class so I don’t think it’s a black and white thing. Don’t think for a second that your application was not good enough. On top of that, I absolutely loved NU.in and I don’t think I’ve met a single NU.in student who wished they had started in Boston in the fall.
