Lack of honor courses for Northeastern? (PLEASE READ)?

<p>Lack of honor courses for Northeastern? (PLEASE READ)?I'm a junior in high school and I am interested in attending Northeastern University for college. I understand that NU places a lot of emphasis on the rigor of one's secondary honor courses, but unfortunately I feel that I am lacking in this area. During my freshman year I took Algebra 1 Pre-Ap, Biology Pre-Ap, World Geography Pre-Ap, and English 1 Pre-Ap. During my sophomore year I took World History AP, English II Pre-Ap, and Latin II Pre-Ap. Now during my junior I wanted to relax from the massive course load I had the previous two years so I decided to just take English III AP. I feel like this will hurt me. I am doing way better in my regular classes than I did in my honor courses, but I think NU cares more about someone's course load. I am hoping to apply for early admissions next fall so I was wondering if NU would be able to view my course load for my senior year (I am taking five AP classes next year). </p>

<p>What I'm basically asking is if NU will view my course load for my senior year during the admission process? I'm sorry I'm so repetitive! :'(
Oh! And can you tell me whether or not I have a good shot in getting in?
GPA (weighted since NU looks at weighted GPA): 3.9
SAT scores: 1950 (I'm hoping to take it again!)
Extracurriculars: Vice President of Drama Club, Secretary for HOSA, Vice President for my school's Chinese Culture Club, member of BPA, member of Student council
I'm not in NHS, will that hurt?
Rank: 52 out of 210 ( my high school is prestigious- if that matters)</p>

<p>I would say the rigor of your courseload is just fine for NU, but your GPA (especially since it’s weighted) is rather low, and honors courses won’t really help with that. The school will see your senior courses because a counselor uploads the most recent transcripts, which include first quarter grades and courses, and a Midyear report with semester grades. Get the GPA up, enter NHS, retake SATs and NU will be a match for you.
