Northeastern University early action?

Colleges and Universities A-Z Northeastern University

<p>I really need some honest opinions on if I can get into Northeastern University because it is my #1 choice.</p>

<p>Academics:</p>

<p>I have a 3 year culmulative GPA of 2.96, but in junior year alone, I got a 3.4 or 3.5 GPA. Although, I'm not in any AP or honors classes</p>

<p>I got a 27 composite on the ACT</p>

<p>Extracurricular Activities:</p>

<p>By the end of senior year, I will have done 4 years of lacrosse, 4 years of wrestling and 3 years of football.</p>

<p>I have done the Midnight Run which is a community service organization and will have done it for 4 years at end of this school year.</p>

<p>I was a golf caddy at a country club in the summer before the school year started which I will say in my application</p>

<p>What school are you applying to ?</p>

3

<p>the college of business administration</p>

<p>I really hope to see in another 6 weeks or so that you will be here posting some exciting news about being accepted to Northeastern.
My daughter ( who was in your shoes last yr ) has a roommate that is a business major there. She thinks it is a little more lenient acceptance than her major ( Bouve Health Science )
Best of luck to you</p>

<p>how long does it take for NEU to give a decision for early action? i sent my stuff in 2weeks ago and they have recieved all of my information 3days ago</p>

6

<p>you will get the decision for early action in mid to late december. Can someone please give me an opinion on whether it's a reach, target or likely for me</p>

7

<p>I can't recall from last yr what the avg stats were for EA acceptance, but you could probably do a search here for the posts of accepted students to make a comparison. Back then, I was looking for stats for my daughter's major.</p>

8

<p>im not going to lie, your scores are pretty low for NEU...with it being a highly ranked school and all there lowest gpa was a 3.0 for accepted students, there average is between a 3.4-4.0....make sure ur essay is AWSOME and that it is directed towards you fitting into northeastern...did you apply early action?</p>

9

<p>yes, i applied early action to northeastern university</p>

10

<p>there lowest gpa isnt a 3.0. I knew someone with a 2.8 thought got in!</p>

11

<p>i'm sorry let me rephrase it....90% of their students aren't below a 3.0....but hey anythings possible/....especially with this economy crunch...good luck!</p>

12

<p>i would say a definate reach. sorry. On the other hand ur improvement in ur junior year could really be helpful. very. so make sure you take legit classes ur senior year.</p>

13

<p>and make sure u say somewhere on ur application (either in the essay or the place where u can provide any more additional information) that you have made a huge jump between soph and junior year and tell them if there was anything that was going on fresh and soph year that could have affected your grades</p>

14

<p>i think that my counselor will talk about how i improved</p>

15

<p>hey everybody, I got into Northeastern University</p>

16

<p>when do you get an answer if you have been accepted in early action? does applying early action increases your chances if you have a 3.3 gpa and a 1550/2400 SAT being an international student from colombia with great extracurriculars</p>

17

<p>^Sorry I can’t chance you, but I can tell you that I believe I got my acceptance letter Dec 23rdish?</p>

<p>thanks thats basically what i wanted to hear</p>
