Chance me, pretty please?

Colleges and Universities A-Z Northeastern University

<p>I'm a junior in high school. I recently visited the campus and completely fell head over heels in love with it. I'm slightly panicking over the whole college admissions process and would like to know how well I stack up with everyone else. I am interested in the Pharmacy program and would most likely do EA.</p>

<p>ACT: 30 (I have taken the test once; I am taking it again in February after I take a class this month)
GPA weighted: 4.39
GPA unweighted: 3.91
AP Classes (so far): AP US History (5 on the exam), currently enrolled in AP European History and AP Spanish (I have As in both classes)
Honors Classes (so far): Geometry, Algebra 2, PreCalculus, English and World History
AP Classes I plan on taking my senior year: AP Chemistry and AP Calculus AB
I work in our school store (it counts as a class; my sophomore year, I took a prerequisite class and at the end I applied to work in the school and was accepted). Next year, I'm almost guaranteed to manage the human resources department of our store and will be in charge of selling, stocking and managing 3-5 other students.</p>

<p>Extra Curriculars:
(will be) 4 years Track and Field (Junior and Senior year will be Varsity)
Student Ambassadors (1 year)
SIBS (Student Ambassador program for Juniors and Seniors): leadership position (will be 2 years)
National Honor Society (will be two years)
(will be) 4 years of co-ed city league soccer (not super important, but time consuming)</p>

<p>Volunteering:
Aid in a Physical Therapy Office
Aid for a summer reading program at my library
Assistant to a pharmacist in a retail location
2 years volunteering as a teen aid in Sunday School at my church
Other random volunteering hours for various organizations/sports teams
Total: 100+</p>

<p>Something unique about myself is that I will be a fourth generation pharmacist- I think that sort of sets me out of the crowd. My great grandfather started a pharmacy in the '50s, for which my grandfather, father, uncles and aunt work for. My mom and many of her siblings are also pharmacists, so it runs in my blood.</p>

<p>Sorry for the lengthiness- like I said before, my life has been centered around my chances to get into Northeastern and I'm dying of curiosity. Please respond (if you have time to read all of this, that is :)</p>

<p>Your stats are literally identical to mine except you have a higher gpa! I applied to the PharmD program this year and was accepted so I think you have a really good chance :)</p>

<p>Wouldn’t worry about you. Although NEU’s standards skyrocketed this year, you’re a little above average. During EA, average accepted stats were: 29-30 ACT and 3.6-3.75 GPA.</p>

<p>You have a GREAT chance. :)</p>

<p>I just applied with similar stats! I have a lot less extra circulars and a little lower gpa so I’ll let you know if I get in!</p>
