Northeastern Chances

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>Attended Public School (2004 Grad)
Applying to Northeastern University for the Business Program (Spring 09)
GPA: 2.0 (3.4 the first two years, had some family and personal problems the last 2, obviously)
SAT: 04/2003 1090 560R 530M, 01/2005 1190 630R 560M
Recommendations: I could get HS Teacher/counselor recommendations again but I also more current ones from my superiors. All of them would be good.
Work experience: 3 years grocery store, 4 1/2 years of Army Special Operations
Cross Country, Indoor Track, Spring Track -- Captain
Multiple combat rotations</p>

<p>Financial Aid won't be too much of a problem, between myself and my parents to help out if need be.</p>

<p>Would I be considered as an adult or 'continuing studies' student? I have a current friend from HS that is about to graduate from their engineering program. I have attended many of his classes when there was a spare seat and have a good feel for the university.</p>

<p>I'm trying to establish a link with the admissions office, but I'm not having too much success.</p>

<p>Any suggestions?</p>

2

<p>Not a chance in the slightest unless they somehow disregard the issues.</p>

3

<p>Hmmm...interesting. I've heard the argument go both ways from different people. Some say they consider the 'whole person' and not a chance in hell. Guess I'll just have to apply to see.</p>

<p>Anybody else?</p>

4

<p>Anybody else have experience with Northeastern at all?</p>

5

<p>it's a bit of a long shot...since your SAT and Gpa are kinda on the lower side..and you don't really have excellent ECs that would make up for it..</p>

6

<p>Yeah...I'll just be prepared to transfer after a year or so at a CC then.</p>

<p>Still worth a shot though.</p>

7

<p>I don't see a chance either. I know people with much better stats who were rejected. However, it never hurts to take a chance. Good luck!</p>

8

<p>maybe your military service will overshadow your weaker stats. Good luck to you.</p>
