<p>If any part needs clarification, don't hesitate to ask! Thanks!</p>
<p>No, my daughter does. She had a very high GPA with an IB diploma and was #2 or 3 in her class of 40. Her SATs were 740R, 600M, 740W. She was offered entry into the honors program and accepted that, plus earned a Dean’s Scholarship. You should know soon, and I expect you will be accepted.</p>
<p>She absolutely LOVES going there, by the way. It’s a beautiful new campus in a perfect urban location, all wired and wireless, great dorms and food, tons of clubs, smart kids focused on learning who they are and prepping for the job market. She loves the big-but-small feel and being challenged academically without having to be a struggling “legend kid” like if she’d gone to an Ivy school (which she wouldn’t have gotten into with her low math SAT score). Northeastern is a perfect fit for her.</p>
<p>You’ll definitely get in. Honestly, I’d be extremely surprised if you didn’t. My brother is a sophomore there, and his academic stats were worse. He wasn’t even in the top 10% of his class. We’re also from NH, too - about 25 minutes from St. Anselm’s. Good luck!</p>
<p>I’m inclined to wonder why you seem so hesitant about Northeastern given your stats. In fact, in all honesty, I’d say aim higher. You’d have a good chance at schools well above NE in rankings.</p>
<p>The OP has a good chance for admission. But it is a match. @california_life, his SAT score is slightly below Northeastern’s average, in all honesty.</p>
<p>I think everyone is on edge and questioning because every year the stats get a little bit more competitive. My D has a 4.0, 1950 SAT’s, and a solid resume but nothing is a given until that “YOUR IN” flashes back at you. The waiting is almost over.</p>
<p>Just retook the SAT Saturday, hope I bumped up in something! I think im around the 50% mark for each section tho.
California, I’m also applying to BU, brandeis, NYU, and George Washington for my reaches.
Baron, I visited in April and loved it. It’s like it’s own secluded oasis in the middle of the bustling city!</p>
<p>Zoidberg, I don’t think BU is any more of a reach than NU. In fact, despite the legacy ranking, I think NU is now better than BU and the rankings just haven’t caught up yet. While BU may have slightly more academic rigor for now, NU’s facilities, spending, high tech, and dorms and campus are better and improving. BU and BC are declining in my opinion.</p>
<p>BU’s fame comes mostly from its graduate and professional schools, which are more extensive than Northeastern and BC. BU has been stagnant for over 25 years due to former BU president Silber and his legacy. I would not say that BC is declining. Their freshman stats are significantly higher than Northeastern or BU.</p>
<p>Have a D at GW, (she loves it btw) and I tell you, NU’s stats are pretty much the same as GW… as baronbvp says, think the rankings have not caught up yet. sooooooon!</p>
<p>yeah but still, northeasterns been rising in the ranks pretty fast. i was considering applying to bc, but thought it was waaaay too big of a reach to bother with. i still sort of feel that way about nyu, but eh worth a shot. i really like gw, but not my first choice…i’d rather be in boston. how does brandeis compare to northeastern in terms of admission difficulty?</p>
<p>the only reason i feel hesitant is because my school is about 30-40 minutes outside of boston, so im basically competing with like a quarter of my graduating class for spots at the same exact schools, and a lot of them seem more qualified then me. also, my ec’s seem fairly weak so thats why im kind of reserved =/</p>
The waiting is almost over.</p>
