<p>What are the general requirements to get into the honors program? What GPA and ACT score are likely to get you in? and Also, will I find out if I got into the honors program at the same time that I find out about admission? I applied Early Action.</p>
<p>Generally speaking top 10% of applicants in any given major. In other words, they look at each major separately so the requirements/stats for business might be different then for pharmacy. The honors program acceptance comes a little later than the general EA acceptance. EA acceptances are generally right before Christmas.</p>
<p>ebeee, not to contradict as the honors placement may vary, but D found out she was accepted into Honors program with her EA acceptance letter. Not sure also if that may be major-related. She is in the engineering school.</p>
<p>RatedPG, could be....or else I believe my son is a year ahead of your child so perhaps it changed last year....</p>
<p>I was looking more for the GPA and ACT scores of the people who were admitted into the honors business program for undergraduates. Does anybody have any idea?</p>
<p>I don't think anyone has that kind of information... it really just depends on who applies since it's the top 10%.</p>
<p>the scores are at honors.neu.edu</p>
<p>I'm in the honors program for the class of 2012. I had a 33 ACT/2120 SAT/was top5% of my class if it helps. There's not one cutoff- high scores/grades, 5s on APs, or outstanding extracurriculars/research all can come into play. The program basically functions to bribe top applicants to come here with the nicer housing. </p>
<p>If you want my honest opinion, you should not let getting into the honors program influence your decision about coming here either way. If you like Northeastern- the campus, the amazing city of Boston, the co-op and focus on experiential learning- then you should come here because it's really an awesome school for so many reasons. </p>
<p>The nicer housing isn't necessary at all to your enjoyment of freshman year- in fact, I feel like I missed out a bit on the traditional freshman experience that my friends had at other schools. The honors sections of classes are nice, because they're a bit smaller, are usually open during registration, and might have the better rated teachers (definitely arguable), but overall you are going to get a quality education here no matter what. The honors program doesn't carry as much prestige as they might make it sound at the open house. </p>
<p>If you don't get into the honors program, don't worry. I've heard from a bunch of people that they got in after the fact by calling and telling NU they would come to the school if they were placed in the program- but I wouldn't even bother. You will like Northeastern honors program or not.</p>
<p>If I don't get into honor,do I have chance to get into it in sophomore year when I have amazing academic record in freshman year?</p>
<p>you can get into the honors program after your first semester freshman year, or after ur second semester going into sophomore year, as long as you have at least a 3.6 GPA.</p>
