[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes: UMD, WM, CWRU, Pitt, Lehigh, BU, UMN, Ohio St.
No: Harvard, Penn, UVA, NEU[/quote]
Extremely surprised at Northeastern. Did you submit a 1400 or something? They hate submitters that are below median.[/quote]
It was a dang 1560. EA, deferred, WL. 2023 seemed a little chaotic at NEU. [/quote]

Same for DD with 1570  in 2023 [/quote]

I genuinely don’t get this. How is Northeastern rejecting kids with 1570 on the SATs?  I know I’m old, but are there that many kids with scores like that out there?[/quote].

It’s a super score probably after having taken the test eight times[/quote]

DD’s 1570 is once and done  (800 math) I guess it is too much for NEU ..[/quote]

once again--100K applications.  NEU very likely considers everyone with an SAT over 1480/1500 to be "qualified" After that, the SAT doesn't matter any more.  So they look at everything else.  And yes with that many applications, who knows how they decide.  But fact is 60-70% of the applications are probably all "highly qualified" candidates.

My 1480, 8 AP (mostly STEM), 3.97 UW, good ECs kid got into NEU--for NUBound.. But they still got admitted.  After freshman year they would be on Boston Campus.  Now it wasn't for my kid (they didn't want to go abroad freshman year) and they got into some better schools and chose one of those.  But they got an acceptance.  [/quote]
