<p>Its an absolute dream to get into Northeastern and be able to continue the legacy in the family. So what do you guys think? I know that Northeastern has made great progress in the past 3 years but is it still worth it being my number 1 choice? Thanks in advance and God bless.</p>

<p>I personally think you have a very good chance, especially since you’re a legacy.
I made it in this year and I had the same exact GPA and I only took 2 AP classes in high school, but I did have pretty good extracurricular activities. Good luck with everything!</p>

<p>If you only get an 1800 SAT, that would make admission iffy. The rest of your profile looks good but aim for at least a 1950 SAT.</p>

<p>My answer would be…probably! Your GPA is solid, you’ve taken a number of AP classes, your SAT is good, and you’re involved in your community. Plus, you have a family history here. It’s by no means guaranteed that you’ll get in (one of my friends had stellar academics, got rejected), but I’d say you have as good a shot as anyone. Good luck!</p>
