I'm still undecided about taking them again in the fall. I feel like they are sufficient, however I told myself I was going to break 2000 and I was very disappointed that I fell just short. </p>

<p>GPA
Not sure what my GPA is at the moment... My school hasnt done it for me yet... and I dont have my grades from freshman or sophmore year to get an estimate... However my average for all three years on naviance is an 87.50. But I don't know what that will make my GPA.</p>

<p>Courseload
I took all honors classes pretty much freshman and sophomore year. Junior year all honors with AP Statistics and AP Computer Science. Senior Year AP Calculus BC, AP Physics B, a few honors courses and a couple non honors electives.</p>

<p>AP Scores
Statistics - 5
Computer Science - 5
I don't know if they take this in to consideration? I know Northeastern doesn't accept AP Statistics, but I figured 5s still look good.</p>

<p>ExtraCuriculars
Football team all four years. Track and Field team all four years. Church Youth group throughout high school. Attended 4 mission trips during summers. Volunteer work at a soup kitchen throughout highschool. Part Time Jobs as a Little League Umpire and at a local Subway starting junior year.</p>

<p>I plan on applying to the College of Engineering, hoping to major in Civil Engineering with a minor in Computer Science. </p>

<p>Thats about it. Thank you for your time.</p>

<p>Everything looks in Northeastern’s range. I would say that the GPA is alittle low but you make up for it with other aspects of your application. Good chances.</p>

3

<p>good chance for engineering. I got in with a 1860 on SAT</p>

<p>Ok thanks! I was thinking that my GPA was a little low also. Do you think that I should take the SATs again?</p>

<p>As I recall, it is possible to select which SAT scores to send to a college (you should confirm that), so nothing to loose. Try taking a practice test and see how you do. You have good scores, but higher scores might help for scholarships at NEU and other schools.</p>

<p>um if you took them the last time without studying. i would take them again. but if you did study they might not change much. i got a 40K scholarship with my scores. but then again I am a girl so that might have factored in</p>

<p>Also, try taking the ACT, some people are able to score much higher on the ACT when they’ve been stuck in a certain score range on the SAT.</p>
