Everything seems fine for Northeastern except.....

Hey guys! I’m in the graduating class of 2016 and I fell in love with Northeastern University. I may apply for early decision this fall but I want to know of my chances. But here’s the problem. I recently took the ACT for the first time and I scored a 25. I’m not sure if I should keep this score or try again in September. I really love this school and want to maximize my chances of getting accepted.

I just looked up their stats. I would strongly recommend doing a lot of prep work over the summer and getting that score up. Good luck! :slight_smile:

Ya definitely get that score up. Northeastern 50th percentile is between 30 and 33 for ACT. Study hard and you should be fine. Rest of your stats and ec’s are good. Chance back?: http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1786803-chance-me-for-upenn-m-t-ut-and-others-chance-back.html#latest
