What are my chances of getting into Northeastern University or Boston University in general AND ALSO into their business programs? Do you have any other notable business college suggestions that my credentials match acceptance to? Thank you!</p>
<p>You’re a match for BU CGS at this point but still a low reach at BU SMG or CAS or NU.</p>
<p>Northeastern tends to favor test scores over GPA, unfortunately in this case. If you can get that to the low 2000’s, you are at match level. Honestly, with an 1890 you probably don’t stand much of a chance at NEU. BU tends to weight GPA a bit more from my experience, and a good “Why BU?” supplement can actually do a lot if you want to go there truly.</p>
<p>I think SMG and CAS are high matches for you. As said before, SAT needs to go up or take the ACT. Having a stronger sat/act will open many more doors for you.</p>
<p>Although i wouldn’t say its the end of the world. Have a spring admit friend whos going to Berkeley, has an 1860 sat. Great guy though, very genuine…definitely spoke through his ECs and essays. You have great ECs as well so you just need higher test scores to make it a match.</p>
<p>Anyways, your leadership in clubs and your high grade point average is admirable. I echo the part about standarized test scores, but that’s not the whole story of your life! Think of all the cool things you’ve done through your activities. (Heck, taking college french and chinese at the same time, and an undefeated tennis record are pluses in my book) I think that defines you more than a single number. Show that side of yourself through recommendations and essays. The business schools are typically harder o get into, but there are quite a few business schools I can think of in the mass area - babson and bentley come to mind. If you have a good range of schools, you won’t be disappointed.</p>
<p>If you want to see if you are a good match, does your school use naviance? That allowed us to plot ourselves relative to other people who have gotten in the past. Typically a good chunk of the people who applied got in, especially if they had good grades and in the NHS.</p>
