<p>Hey everybody I'm a high school senior and my dream school is Northeastern. Im currently in the final year of the IB program (generally considered more rigorous), and I was just wondering what my chances would probably be. </p>

<p>I don't have the best grades and SAT but im hoping my strong essay and above average EC's will make up for it. I live in Switzerland currently but have previously lived in New Jersey, Singapore, and Bangkok. I hope to major in International Relations/Affairs.</p>

<p>Extracurricular Activities & Achievements:
-Student League of Nations (held in official U.N hall)
-Hip Hop Artist/Rapper for 4 years; won 2nd place in school talent show
-Georgetown U-International Relations Summer Program for 1 week
-Head of Amnesty International Youth Group at School
-Learn2Lead: 1 week Leadership Workshop at Procter & Gamble
-Basketball team for 3 years
-Head of International Culture & Awareness Committee
-1 week internship at Linalis (IT Firm) </p>

<p>Gender: Male
Ethnicity: Asian Indian
GPA- 2.90/4.0 (unweighted)
SAT - 1800 (R-600 M-590 W-610)
Essay: Strongest part of my application; essentially about my experience speaking at the U.N Assembly Hall for Student League of Nations</p>

<p>The bottom link is basically a resource my school offers, which is a scattergram where you stand against previous applicants from the same school. For example, the image below shows applicants from my school who have also applied to Northeastern, and in this case there have no denials so far. The green square means accepted, the green square with the triangle means accepted through early action, and the empty red circle is me. Thank you guys so much!!!</p>

<p>if ur a legacy then that will definitely bump up ur chances and ur sat is above average so it shouldnt be a problem. extra curriculars are good but universities in general prefer leadership to a laundry list of activities so make sure u got at least one activitiy where u have a leadership position. if ur essay is awesome then that will bump it up by alot so all in all, id say NEU is a match and at MOST, a low reach. Best of luck!!! (:</p>
