<p>I really want to to to Northeastern but it is a reach
3.2 GPA at top school in state
1800 SAT
lots of good extracurriculars dont feel like listing
both parents attended
mom used to work there many years ago</p>
<p>anyways to get the point, my family knows someone there and i got an email inviting me to interview with an admissions member (they dont usually do interviews)</p>
<p>if i do well how much can this help me and what are my chances?</p>
<p>Ridiculous. You’re telling us that you had some connections so you got a special interview?</p>
<p>That said, your grades and SAT scores have been and will be the biggest factor of your admission (closely followed by EC’s). The interview plays a role, but not large enough to make or break your application.</p>
<p>calm down. jeeze i was just looking for some insight, no need to be short.</p>
<p>I did give you some insight. Maybe you should read my post again. Calm down; I mean, I know your excited about getting an interview (I’ll let you decide if you deserved it or not), but maybe you should actually read my post. </p>
<p>That said, I’ll repeat it again: your GPA and SAT scores (along with EC’s) are of larger importance than the interview.</p>
