<p>GPA: 3.5-3.6 unweighted, 3.6-3.65 weighted
Course load: 4 Honors Classes, 5 AP classes, 3 AP self-study tests
Rigorous college prep school</p>
<p>ACT: Currently 26 composite (weak math, high English/Reading), but I'm retaking it and shooting for 28 at least (that's what my practice tests reflect). I may be able to get as high as a 30.</p>
<p>Average-Good extracurriculars.
Good recommendations.</p>
<p>NO ONE from Nebraska was part of the freshman class at Northeastern last year</p>
<p>100%. Not a joke either.</p>
<p>I think you have a good chance and I know that NEU likes diversity and to pull students from other states. What is your intended major? Class rank?
And by the way, no one can say "100% for any school.
The college board website says NEUs admit rate was 45%, I believe it was actually lower last year.
You should apply EA as it is non binding and be sure to show interest.<br>
In addition, apply to a range of schools including some financial and academic safeties.</p>
<p>My intended major is international business, thus the co-op program is particularly enticing to me.</p>
<p>My school doesn't report class rank, so I won't be including that on my application.</p>
<p>Any idea how NEU is in regard to financial aid?</p>
<p>from what i hear it is very good when it comes to aid</p>
<p>They are pretty good when it comes to merit aid, but not financial aid. 28% of freshman get an average of $12,281 in merit aid. The school only meets an average of 64% of financial need for freshmen. I got this info from another website. Most of this info is available on the collegeboard's website.</p>
