GPA and sat?

Move to chance page

The SAT/ACT is VERY important to NEU serving as they are currently trying (and succeeding) to climb the ranks. Without your scores it’s very hard to tell your chances.

Your junior grades look a bit low but a good SAT (over 2000) can help cancel out the damage of that. If you really want to get in you should definitely do ED UNLESS you think you can get mostly A’s first semester senior year, in which case you should apply RD. The GPA boost and upward trend would probably be more helpful than the higher ED acceptance boost.
