I would greatly appreciate any insight on my chances of admission into Northeastern University in Boston. Currently, I’m in the second semester of my junior year attending a high school in the Northern Virginia area. I entered high school with a 3.6 gpa (I didn’t perform very well on my high school math courses I took in middle school - Algebra 1 (B-) and Geometry which I ended up expunging and it became my 9th grade math course)
As of now, I have a 4.0 gpa (weighted) and by the end of junior year the grades I’ll most likely end up with will leave me with a 4.05-4.1 range for my gpa. Throughout high school I’ve taken pretty rigorous courses, freshman year I took all honors core subjects (my school doesn’t allow APs for freshmen), sophomore year I took AP Comp Sci Pri (5) , AP World HIstory (5) and AP Human Geo (3). Currently I am taking 5 APs consisting of: AP Lang, AP Chem, AP Physics, AP Psych, and AP US History. Senior year I plan on taking 4 APs: AP Lit, AP Comp Gov, AP Env Sci, and AP Calc AB.
I have 5 language credits - 3 for Spanish and 2 for Tamil (mother-tongue), and I am working towards my advanced high school diploma.
I have taken the SAT once, in which I scored a 1320, and I plan on taking to 2 more times and hopefully score within 1420+. I also plan on taking the ACT in the summer.
Extracurriculars:
- Bharathanatyam Dance (12 years): I’ve participated in this Indian Classical Dance style ever since I was little and it makes up a huge part of my identity.
- Valluvan Tamil Academy (9 years): I am also an immigrant student, I was born in India and my mother tongue is Tamil, I attended this nonprofit academy to learn about my mother-tongue and maintain my cultural roots. As of now, I’ve graduated the academy and work on the Volunteer Board as head of the student volunteers and participate in the Technology Committee as well.
- Tutoring business: I started my own tutoring business freshman year working with middle school students and high school students in writing, grammar, and science classes.
- Thrifting Business: At the beginning of junior year I opened up an online business in which I thrift and resell items to display interest in fashion and reducing the negative impact of the fast-fashion industry.
- Varsity Debate: I’ve been part of my debate team for 3 years now, and plan on continuing senior year, I joined the JV team freshman year and have worked my way up into the Varsity team.
- Bhangra Dance Team: I particpate in dance in school as well as outside of school by joining my school’s Bhangra Dance group which I have been a part of for 3 years now, I also hold position as the secretary of the club.
- Key Club: I’ve been part of key club since freshman year but do not hold any special positions in this club.
- NHS: I also take part in NHS and I’ve been in it for 2 years, and I plan on applying for senior officer at the beginning of my senior year.
Taking into my background and credentials, I would appreciate it so much to hear back from the college confidential community about my chances at Northeastern University with a possible major in Global Health/Public Health/International Relations.
