<p>Well, in my chance topic, people told me I have a pretty good chance, and it appears that your stats are either equal to or better than mine. Your GPA is definitely in the perfect range for admission (mine’s only 3.47). And your sat overall is equal to mine. Your non-volunteer ECs seem to be a little lacking but, having said that, you have a hell of a lot of volunteer ECs which really looks great for northeastern.
So uhh yea, judging from what I’ve been told, you certainly have a pretty good chance.</p>

<p>you’ll get in.
you have a really good GPA and a lot of volunteer stuff which is probably good for their whole “experiential learning” philosophy, maybe?
I wouldn’t be worried if I were you! Good luck!</p>
