<p>Thanks :slight_smile: so you got in with a 26 ACT? I’m taking it on the 14th. Is that within the normal range for Northeastern?</p>

<p>Not to interrupt your conversation with runrunrun94 ( :slight_smile: ) but I’d say you have a great chance. Your ECs and GPA are actually right on target and if you raise your math score, I’d say you will most likely get in. </p>

<p>And my friend got in this year with a 24 ACT – The normal range is 28-36 but she had great ECs like you. Good luck.</p>

<p>Thanks DesiCollegeGal, that’s really comforting. I really want to to to NU because of the co-op program, but I’ve been looking around and all those who have been accepted seem to have way better stats then me! Anyway thanks for replying!</p>

<p>Northeastern is getting more and more competitive each year. I’d say get your SAT score up a tad, and you’d stand a really good chance! :)</p>
