<p>I would say you have very good chances at getting in to Northeastern. I am not familiar with the competition for Economics/Finance specifically, but your stats seem quite good.</p>

<p>As for scholarships, the Northeastern website has information on scholarships here:
<a href=“Undergraduate - Applying for Aid | Student Financial Services”>Undergraduate - Applying for Aid | Student Financial Services;
According to this, most of the merit scholarships range in value from $5,000 to $20,000 per year (and in effect for a total of 8 semesters). Most of my friends have some sort of scholarship through this.</p>
