<p>I really need some honest opinions on if I can get into Northeastern University because it is my #1 choice. I'm applying to Northeastern University early action.</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>I'm trying to get opinions from as many people as possible and i'm going a little paranoid because Northeastern University is the only college i want to go to</p>
<p>Everything looks good for you except for the GPA, but I would say that the upward trend helps you alot. I would say a reach... but with in reach. Good Luck.</p>
<p>im just saying thats doubtful. I mean i know some kids with 3.6 GPAs with mostly AP classes and 1850 SAT and 28 ACT who got deferred. You're stats just don't match up.</p>
<p>i know what you mean. the reason why i posted so many threads is because I myself was not entirely sure if i would get in because of my stats compared to the stats of the average northeastern student. It just goes to show everyone that i overcame the odds</p>
<p>im sorry but i don't believe you. Your stats are just way too low. I think by saying you got in, you are trying to feel better about yourself that you got deferred or rejected.</p>
<p>since you still don't believe me, i will post what they said on my NU portal:</p>

<p>You could have copied that from anywhere. I still express doubt that you got accepted. You have by far the worst stats i have seen in a candidate for early action. If you look at the people who got deferred, they have way better stats than you. i can't comprehend why they would accept you.</p>
<p>maybe they accepted me because of my extracurriculars and my college essay and for the fact that i raised my grades and i go to scarsdale high school which is known to be a very difficult high school</p>
