Chances at Northeastern

<p>Ok, I attended my freshman year at Boston University and was academically dismissed. I took a total of 34 credits (fall+spring) and had attained a 1.59 GPA. The required GPA to continue my sophomore year, I needed a minimum 1.8 GPA. I took 16 credits over the summer at BU in order to reach that GPA. However, I only raised it up to a 1.65 which was insufficient. </p>

<p>I am currently enrolled at Bergen Comm. College in New Jersey taking 12 credits. I plan to apply for admission in the Fall 2007.</p>

<p>I am a Business Administration major. I looked at the preferred courses that Northeastern looks for. They give credit for classes that you have attained a C or above in. This allows me to gain credit for some of the classes that I took at BU. Also I will gain transfer credit for one of the classes I am currently taking at Bergen Comm. College. </p>

<li>MTHU131-Calculus for Business/Econ</li>
<li>ECNU116-Principles of Microeconomics</li>
<li>ECNU115-Principles of Macroeconomics</li>
<li>INTU465-Topics in Interdisc Studies</li>
<li>ENGU111-College Writing</li>
<li>ACCU201-Financial Accounting & Reporting</li>
</ol>

<p>The list above is what I can get credit for so far. In the spring, I plan to take an additional 15 credits at Bergen Comm. College which are all transferable to Northeastern. This will give me credits for the following courses:</p>

<li>ACCU301-Managerial Accounting</li>
<li>PHYU111-Astronomy</li>
<li>PSYU101-Foundations of Psychology</li>
<li>CBAU101-Introduction to Business</li>
<li>PHLU110-Introduction to Religion</li>
</ol>

<p>This will allow me to transfer 11 courses (44 credits). I will have met all of the preferred requisites for Business Administration majors that wish to transfer into Northeastern. </p>

<p>This is a brief rundown of my statistics:
H.S. GPA: 3.4
SAT I Math: 660
SAT I Verbal: 580
Combined: 1240
SAT II Writing: 620
SAT II Math IC: 600
BostonU GPA: 1.65</p>

<p>Estimated GPA this fall at Bergen Comm. College: 3.25
Estimated GPA in the spring at Bergen Comm. College: 3.40</p>

<p>Northeastern’s approximate average transfer student acceptance rate is 50%.
Northeastern’s avg. GPA for accepted transfer students is a 3.21 GPA.
Northeastern’s avg. SAT score for accepted transfer students is a 1170-1310.</p>

<p>I plan to apply for Fall 2007. Can I please have some feedback on my chances at acceptance? I am scared that my academic dismissal from BU will make me lose hope.</p>

<p>Thanks.</p>
