<p>Hi rockstar,</p>

<p>If you look at the Common Data Set for 2011 <a href=“http://www.northeastern.edu/oir/pdfs/CDS%202011-12.pdf[/url]”>http://www.northeastern.edu/oir/pdfs/CDS%202011-12.pdf&lt;/a&gt; you’ll see that you are barely above the 25th percentile for accepted students in math, and below the 25th percentile in the other areas. I’m sorry to say it doesn’t look good. If there’s time to study really hard and retake the SAT it would be a good idea.</p>

<p>Well, except that:</p>

<p>[Required</a> Materials | Admissions](<a href=“http://www.northeastern.edu/admissions/apply/required-materials/index.html]Required”>http://www.northeastern.edu/admissions/apply/required-materials/index.html)</p>

<p>

<p>Your SATs are low for, but you aren’t required to submit them. I also have no idea if a 92 is a good TOEFL score, and the little googling I’ve done doesn’t suggest that Northeastern releases the TOEFL scores of accepted applicants. </p>

<p>Basically, with those SATs, I’d say don’t submit them. Of course, without them, I really have nothing to judge your chances by - and that’s probably what you should be considering - what is going to be on your application (extra-curricular activities, local testing, etc.), and how does that stand up? You may want to consider retaking the SAT, and seeing if you can bring it up into a range which compares with currently admitted students, but depending on your situation, this may not be feasible.</p>

<p>Unfortunately, most people who post here will have very limited experience with international admissions.</p>

<p>Just don’t submit it…otherwise they will wonder about your GPA at the same time…</p>
