Will be taking an AP class next year (senior year)</p>

<p>For my Freshman and Sophomore year my GPA is 3.28 and the weighted is 83.4</p>

<p>However, this year (junior) years has been very strong year with have a 90-92 GPA all year long. My school does not have a class rank because it works on a decile system. I am in the 4th out of 10 in my class. </p>

<p>I should have great teacher recommendations and a really well developed essay.</p>

<p>I am also planning on having an interview with an admissions counselor and visit Campus a lot to show my sincere interest in the school</p>

<p>Lots of good EC's:

Lots of community service credits on my transcript</p>

<p>However, my SAT Scores are very low.
Reading - 410
Math - 480
Writing - 470 (10 on the essay)</p>

<p>I am taking the ACT in June and hope to do better as well as taking an SAT Prep Course this summer to help get the scores up.</p>

<p>Northeastern is getting more selective every year. This year, there were several seniors in my class with a 3.6 GPA and 2000 SAT who were either waitlisted or denied. But don’t let that discourage you! I’d say, if you maintain strait As (or pretty close) and get at least a 1950 on your SATs combined score you have a good shot.</p>

<p>I was in a pretty similar situation as you Junior year. However, I was able to raise my SATs from a 1750 to a 1980 and get strait As with 3 APs my senior year which I believe was the only reason I got in. Also keep in mind that if money is an issue, you need to have a higher GPA and probably 2000+ SATs (approx) to have a shot at a merit scholarship. </p>

<p>Northeastern doesn’t offer interviews unless you are a legacy. It would be difficult with 45,000 applicants haha</p>

<p>Hope this helps! And good luck :)</p>
