<p>Alright, so my boyfriend just put in his transfer application to Northeastern University for Spring transfer '08, architecture major. His high school GPA is a 2.3
ACT 28, and the one and only AP class he took was Environmental Science
and he got a 4. He has a few honors classes, and he went a prestigious
private prep school in az. He's got a lot of community service both in the US and in latin america, and he was both extremely involved in and the president of tech theater for the last two years. Over the summer he interned at a well known architecture firm in az and one of his recommendations came from the owner of the firm. Right now he's at the school of the art
institute of chicago. It's a well known art school, but they don't have the classes he wants, the students are apathetic, the teachers are horrid, and he's just generally miserable there. This school does not believe in grades so he doesn't have a college gpa :( He won't be allowed to meet with his academic advisor or his counselor until december, so the forms they filled out were pointlessly checked "no basis for recommendation". What are his chances of getting into Northeastern?
He desperately wants to go there and his essay is pretty good.
Any and all advice is appreciated!</p>
<p>Well whats his college GPA</p>
<p>if you read carefully you'll notice that his college does NOT have a grading system......</p>
<p>Well hes not getting in Northeastern with a 2.3...and he is definitely not getting in... if the college he is at now can not prove his academic aptitude which is usually evidenced by grades and test scores!</p>
<p>what college does he go to now? Just curious</p>
<p>The School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Also, his weighted high school GPA is 3.0.
Does that matter at all?</p>
<p>He plans to be an architect with a 2.3 GPA? My, this is one long road ahead. Perhaps a year at some other academic program would better prepare him for his chosen field.</p>
