<p>Hi I've been stressing a lot over my chances of getting into these two colleges. recently the current president of my NHS chapter get rejected from Northeastern and that really frightened me. I'm currently a junior by the way. So, I came out here to get some opinions

SATs: 1900
Ethnicity: white
E.C. : Drama club Publicist, National Honor Society Secretary, Film Club, Student Gov't Homeroom rep, Class council.

<p>I was waitlisted to NU, and accepted to BU without aid out of high school (2 years ago). My HS profile being</p>

<p>I expected my EC’s to make up for my below average SAT, but that didn’t work out. That said, I think your 1900 combined with your EC’s and GPA gives you a decent shot, but I don’t think its definite either way. If you take the SAT again and improve a bit it’d be a big help.</p>

<p>I think that you have a pretty decent shot at both schools, given your grades and ECs. Would like to see a at least a 2000+ on those SATs.</p>

<p>BU lets high school students take classes there during their summer term. (technically, they have 2 summer terms) Maybe Northeastern does too? Could be nice to have some college-coursework experience for your resume. Also gives you a taste of what that school is like. And, if you earn credit, it gives you a head start if you get admitted.</p>

4

<p>yeah I’m taking the SATs and hopefully I can boost it up to a 2000, atleast superscored. </p>

5

<p>Bump; also my chances for BC, TCNJ, and Marist?</p>

6

<p>Go Huskies - you’re a shoe-in at NU, given this is a safety school for most…</p>

7

<p>NU: match
BU: high match
TCNJ: match
BC: low reached
Marist: ?</p>

<p>It would really help your chances if you could improve you SAT score to make up for mediocre rigor of schedule</p>

<p>Chance back
