Chance Me?

<p>I really need some honest opinions on if I can get into Northeastern University because it is my #1 choice</p>

<p>Academics:</p>

<p>I have a 3 year culmulative GPA of 2.96, but in junior year alone, I got a 3.4 or 3.5 GPA. Although, I'm not in any AP or honors classes</p>

<p>I got a 27 composite on the ACT</p>

<p>Extracurricular Activities:</p>

<p>By the end of senior year, I will have done 4 years of lacrosse, 4 years of wrestling and 3 years of football.</p>

<p>I have done the Midnight Run which is a community service organization and will have done it for 4 years at end of this school year.</p>

<p>I was a golf caddy at a country club in the summer before the school year started which I will say in my application</p>

<p>Wow you are kinda in the same boat I am except a year younger. I so far this year have a 3.5 unweighted GPA, and my sophmore year I had like a 3.1-3.2 unweighted GPA while freshman year it was a 2 something. What was your sophmore year GPA?</p>

<p>I think Northeastern may be a reach for you because of your GPA.</p>

<p>Ouch, your GPA will really hurt you unless you can find a way to explain it... perhaps in your essay, talk about how you grew as a student and how your GPA went up?</p>

<p>hey everybody, I got into Northeastern University</p>
