Questions

I’m not good at changing, but I have one note. You seem to have a really, really high opinion of your school relative to others, and you mentioned it multiple times in this post. I’d be very careful about how you portray that in your applications, because it can come off very easily as snobbish or as an excuse for grades, etc. (which is of course a turn off for admissions committees). And if it’s such a difficult and demanding school, they’ll ask, why have you only gotten 4s on your APs. Just something to be wary of.

As for your other questions:
No, don’t send now SAT subject tests. They’re not required, so it would probably do more harm than good.
If you think the extra time for EA over RD will make your application stronger (continuing upward GPA trend or improved test scores), then wait for RD. Otherwise, go ahead and apply EA. If applicants are on the edge, northeastern will defer them to the RD pool to be reevaluated then and you would be no worse off than applying RD in the first place.

Hello! I’ve seen you on many northeastern thread so I was super excited when you replied(fangirling a bit :x ). Thank you for commenting about appearing snobbish. I didn’t mention it in my application ( applied ea), just for chancing. I got a 34 on my act. If you have any advice I would love to hear them <3
