Please Chance Me!

Hello. I’m about to start my senior year of high school and have got some big decisions to make. I would like to attend Northeastern University, but have been slightly dissuaded because of the annual cost. I really plan to do my senior year with a “no-nonsense” type of attitude, and am hoping this helps my chances. Here are my stats from junior year:

I’m from California btw
Ethnicity: Black/African American
GPA: 3.8 (weighted) 3.7 (unweighted)
Classes: ASL 3 Honors, AP US history, English 11 CP, Chemistry Honors, Trig/Pre-Cal Honors, Track.

I want to major in sign language over at the school. My classes this year will be:
ASL 4 Honors
AP U.S. Gov
English 12 CP
Economics CP
AP Calculus (AB)
Anatomy Honors

SAT: 1200 (new sat) but I’m retaking it hoping to shoot for a much higher score (I didn’t take it as seriously the first time)

I understand I don’t have much rigor except for an extra AP class, but if I get that big GPA boost and do well on my next SAT do you think I have a shot? Especially being a minority as well

Extra Curriculars: Varsity/JV track for 3 years, recieved coaches award two years in a row for track, ASL club treasurer, was in my school’s ASL show and will he involved in producing my final one senior year, held a part time job over the summer which I plan to hold during the year as well, been playing drums for 5 years, plan to volunteer as well for senior year.
I know if I push myself

I can achieve a 4.3 GPA. So hopefully that will help my chances with a big GPA boost. I’ve done track 3 years and am involved in my school’s sign language and Christian club. I would really like to go, but tuition is very expensive, and I am unsure how much financial aid would help me. Any advice is GREATLY appreciated.

I took all honors classes freshman and sophomore year as well. (AP’s weren’t offered during those two years.

Have you run the net price calculator on the northeastern website?

Focus on getting a high test score, trust me.

I plan to

I used the calculator. The estimation was basically half of the tuition; so about 30K a year. However, my mom is trying to talk me out of it saying it’s on the expensive side. I really want to go and I’m hoping my Ap’s have an efffect on the tuition.
