Chances of acceptance to NEU?

Colleges and Universities A-Z Northeastern University
1

Hey everyone, I’m currently a junior attending a high school in New York.

My brother is currently a freshman at NEU and I was wondering what my chances of acceptance are.

Freshman year:
GPA w/ weights: 3.5
All honors courses (No AP courses available)

Sophomore year:
GPA w/ weights: 3.8
1 AP course, rest honors (Only one AP course available)

Junior year (currently):
GPA w/ weights: 4.0
2 AP courses, 1 college dual-credit course, rest honors

Senior year (expected):
GPA w/ weights: 4.0
4 AP courses, 1 college dual-credit course

I’ve only taken one SAT and ACT so far but expect around a 2200 (old SAT grading) and 32/33.

I’m in the NHS for my school, am part of the Student Senate, play multiple variety sports and sports outside of school, am in multiple school bands, have A LOT of service hours, started a fundraiser for my school soccer program which has raised $6,000 for breast cancer, and was selected for a leadership conference from my grade. I also have a summer internship with a local video game development company.

I hope to major in computer sciences w/ game design.

Hopefully this is enough information, thanks for reading!

What SAT/ACT scores do actually have now? Or do you mean you’ve taken only practice ones?

If you end up getting the stats that you expect to, I think you’d have a very good shot at admission.

It seems like you have a pretty good chance of getting in. As long as your test scores are what you expect (or even a bit lower) I think you’re good! What is your cumulative unweighted GPA? also if you would be willing to, I would appreciate if you had any thoughts for my chances at several schools. Thanks and Good Luck! http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1866139-what-are-my-chances-for-these-schools.html#latest

Yeah, you should not have any problem. Just keep in mind that admissions does not care if you do “a lot” of extracurriculars. They want to see that you have excelled in the ones you took part in, were committed to them longer term, and were a leader. They are looking for depth, not breadth.
