Excelent essay and recs.</p>
<p>they offer it to you whe they accept you. on the website, it also says that only 1,333 students TOTAL are a part of this program. so long, hopes and dreams... =(</p>
<p>Those are pretty impressive numbers! Would that be the profile of the whole class, or just of those admitted to honors? The numbers I'm finding on the NEU website for general admission seem lower.
Thanks for clarifying!</p>
<p>Should have spent another 2 minutes on the NEU website before posting above. Those numbers (posted by brianna9 above) are for those students admitted to honors for fall 2008.</p>

<p>My GPA is a 3.66, My ACT is a 30 and I have good ECs and all sorts of good stuff, coming from a really competitive Private school. Do you guys think I have a shot at the honors college?</p>
<p>i think you have a shot.
can you guys go to my chance me thread (the one that begins "i'm freakin' out") and tell me if i have a shot at the honors program?</p>
<p>Fyi, My GPA was a 3.85 ( i.e without the inflation for AP courses,etc ) with great EC's and an ACT of 30. I got into the honors program last year with a $10K dean's scholarship so I think you have a decent chance Bryan.</p>
<p>Just to point out to you guys, it isn't easy to get into honors. It isn't something that you can count on getting, even with a good gpa or sat score, because I know plenty of people with good stats that didn't get in. It is the top percentage of the incoming class, and the incoming class is always getting higher because Northeastern is trying to become more and more selective each year. </p>
<p>Also, getting honors does not mean you keep honors. Many students drop out after the first year. You need a 3.4 gpa in college to stay in honors, which sounds easy, but trust me at Northeastern it is not. It means at least if not more than half of your classes must be As, which is quite difficult to acheive in certain majors.</p>
<p>You have to keep in mind that admissions have been getting increasing difficult for the past several years. Last year's stats are only going to be a rough guideline for how admissions will be this year.</p>
<p>That said, OP, I think you're definitely in.</p>
<p>daughter's stats were similar to OP's and she didn't get into honors last year
she was very close and we were told by NEU that we could contest , but here was no real point to, other than the awesome housing</p>
