Here are my stats I’m just wondering what you think my chances are

I took the act and got a 29 so I’m forgettin’ that
98.2 gpa, rank 6 or 7 out of around 105 students
3 AP classes, I’m taking 3 AP classes next year and college economics (non-AP)
Extracurriculars:
Varsity track & field for 2 years
Key Club from 9th grade to present
DECA for 2 years, current secretary
National Honor Society
Spanish Honor Society
Magazine club for 1 year, will do it this year, which has art and poetry in it
A few art classes, I’ve been in a few school art shows and was given a sculpture and painting award from my school
I ran the website for one of my business classes
I’ve taken a graphic design course for a week at a college over a summer
Senior year I will be one of 2 editors of my yearbook
Not sure what I want to major in

I’d appreciate any feedback or advice. Thanks!

Your stats are only a tiny bit better than a daughter who was accepted there a few years back (ignoring the breakdown between the two parts of the SAT). Based on this, I would guess that your chances of getting accepted are pretty good. I would not call it a safety however.

Whether it will be affordable is another issue. For us it was not the academically strongest school that either daughter got into, but it was (in a tie with BU) by far the most expensive. You should run the NPC if this matters to you since aid can vary enormously between different students.

Ok, Northeastern would definitely be very expensive for me, so thanks for the advice
