<p>I feel I'm far bellow where I should be, particularly in the extracurriculars... do the ap's make up for that?</p>

Major I'm looking for: Some kind of Engineering
GPA: 3.55 (dipped sophomore year, brought it up junior year)
ACT Composite: 28, might raise 1 or 2 next test date.
AP's taken/are taking (8):
- Comp Sci - 4
- Comparative Government - 2 (not reporting)
- US History - 3
- Calc BC - Currently Taking
- Stats - Currently Taking

<p>If not NorthEastern, which other college can I get into for engineering? (I really want NorthEastern though).</p>
<p>Anyone at all?
(Oh, and the GPA is unweighted)</p>
<p>Is there something wrong with the data that I gave? Is it not specific enough?</p>
<p>Look, obviously something is wrong with my information. Could someone just please tell me what information I’m missing? Seriously, by now people will think my question is answered with 5 replies to this thread, but yet all of them were necessary bumps due to no answers. This is ridiculous.</p>
<p>First of all, calm down! I think people are just tired of chancing threads in general, not just yours.</p>
<p>The mid 50% ACT scores for accepted students at Northeastern was 29-32 last year so your score is on the low end. Is the GPA weighted or unweighted? If weighted, it is on the low end. NU would be a low reach for you.</p>
<p>I just find it weird that you took AP us and AP comparative government when you’re interested in engineering…don’t take AP’s just to impress colleges and make your list longer, it’s pointless. Anyways, I wouldn’t worry about your EC’s, your grades overall are in the lower percentile so work on getting those up! Good luck</p>
<p>Oh and Carnegie Mellon is great for engineering, you could look into that if you want</p>
