<p>Northeastern is my top choice and I was deferred to Regular Decision. Can someone tell me if I still have a chance at getting in?</p>

<p>-Caucasian girl from a prestigious Catholic high school
-GPA: 3.907
-SAT: 1240/1600 (CR 610, Math 630)
-Senior classes- 1 AP science and 1 Honors math, rest college prep
-Junior classes- 2 Honors math and science, rest college prep
-I have been taking dance classes for 15 years and have been an assistant teacher at my school for 3 years. I babysit twice a week for about 7 hours a day. I am on the photography club at my school. I do tons of community service (working with autistic kids, volunteer swim coach, volunteer at an under-privileged children's shelter and a few more.) I am also a volunteer in the Trauma Department of a local hospital 3 days a week for the past 3 summers (6 hours a day).
(I stay busy with all of my extra curricular but I'm nervous there's nothing that stands out- pres of this club... varsity sports....)
-My letters of recommendation came from my honors anatomy teacher, english teacher, and the volunteer coordinator from the hospital.</p>

<p>What is your SAT score out of 2400? – to be competitive for NEU, you should be aiming for a 2050+ in terms of your composite score. </p>

<p>Out of 2400 I got an 1840. I know its not very good, especially for Northeastern, but I took the SATs 3 times and my scores were very consistent. It’s probably too late to take the SATs again or switch to the ACTs but I don’t think my score would improve by much. I also got a 600 on the Math I Subject Test. I just wish I prepared for it because I got a 600 with no preparation. </p>
