Is getting into NEU possible for me?

Hi! I’m from New York, but I love Northeastern and really want an insight on my chances of getting in. I got 2 31’s on my ACT’s ( E 33, M 31, R 32, S 27) (E 34, M 28, R 29, S 34) and am taking it again in April (right now I have a 33 superscored). However, my gpa isn’t that good. It’s currently an 86.32 (I didn’t really take school that seriously until now) but should be anywhere from 88-90 after this year is over. I have several other accolades which will be on my transcript, however, such as being in 3 clubs for, most likely, all 4 years of high school (I’m the president and founder of one of them) and being a ski instructor. Also, Northeastern has been “recruiting” me, sending me tons of emails, a huge packet, etc.

With this information, can you please give me my chances of getting accepted?

If the grades are improving, it will help. But to compensate for a lower GPA, you will need a higher SAT and better extracurriculars. It also depends on the types of clubs and roles you played. How long were in the clubs (longer the better)? Without knowing more, all I can say is yes that it is possible.
