What are my chances for early action?

Colleges and Universities A-Z Northeastern University
1

<p>I really need some honest opinions on if I can get into Northeastern University because it is my #1 choice.</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>what do you want to study?</p>

<p>it looks to me honestly that it is a reach.</p>

3

<p>i want to go to the college of business administration</p>

4

<p>Well, as i said before it is a reach. The accepted GPA is 3.6 to 4.1 Weighted. the accepted SATs are 1770 onward. and the college of BA is VERY competitive 450 acceptances in 8000. But who knows? it all depends how you sell yourself.</p>

5

<p>whoa. 450 out of 8000, maybe I won't get in. Now I'm worried..I don't mean to steal the thread that number just kind of shocked me. That is like 6%!</p>

6

<p>it would probably be a reach school for you, depending on your other criterias besides grades. </p>

<p>northeastern has around a 40% acceptance rate</p>

7

<p>an admissions officer came to my school and told me that the acceptance rate for both early action and regular decision is 30% and for all the people that apply to the college of business administration, only 10% get accepted which shot my confidence down and it really is the only school i truly want to go to. My 2nd choice is drexel, but i heard that the social scene sucks, girls are bad looking and everybody there hates it</p>

8

<p>If you really want to go here and your stats aren't super competitive... maybe you shouldn't apply for the business school, and just transfer into it once you're here?</p>

9

<p>you can't transfer into the business school, the admissions officer said you can't because not many people want to leave it, while so many people want to go to it</p>

10

<p>Only 10% of Business applicants are accepted??? What are you smoking? This is Northeastern we're talking about -- not Wharton.</p>

<p>Northeastern's not that hard to get into -- definitely harder than it used to be. But no mistake, its Business School is a far cry from stellar.</p>
