Your test scores are low for northeastern. They are really big on tests and GPA; you might be ok for NU.IN if you are interested in that however. Make sure to show interest in you can! Extracurriculars are OK but nothing spectacular. Why northeastern in particular?
Please chance back!
Northeastern is a reach school for me, but I chose northeastern as one of my reaches to apply to because of their well-established co-op program. For NU.in, which countries would you suggest? Does it matter?
Wherever you are interested in going! I think NU.in is a amazing program and allows you to experience something amazing before jumping into college; northeastern uses it to take applications with a slightly lower GPA/test scores and still give them access to a NU education. I’m applying to northeastern as well but not for the in program, but it definitely works well for some people
