<p>Raise your ACT score.
Don’t worry TOO much about the SAT II’s, as Northeastern doesn’t require them (at least not last year). But if you feel that getting higher scores will help your chances, go right ahead. Unfortunately NEU doesn’t accept 4’s anymore for AP credit, which is a little ridiculous, so you gotta get a 5 if you want credit, but don’t stress over it. Otherwise, you seem like a good candidate! Good luck! :)</p>

<p>meghanupsidedown where are you getting this info on AP credit…the following link on the NEU admissions website for 2012-2013 details AP Equivalents for scores of 4 & 5.

<p>Yes, 4 or 5 gets AP credit.</p>

<p>APs are used for placement and are not necessarily considered for admission.</p>
