Background:

Stats:
I have a 3.69 unweighted gpa and a 4.58 weighted gpa. My class rank is 63/276 (top 22%) and I will have taken 14 APs by the time I have graduated with the scores so far being (4,4,4,4,3,3,3), and I’ve also gotten the AP Scholar w/ Distinction award.

-Science National Honors Society.

With a sub-20% acceptance rate, NEU is reach for most applicants. Your GPA and AP test scores are below average for their incoming students.
Are you going to submit an ACT/SAT, or have one scheduled?
Having a hook (hispanic/URM) will likely help you in admissions at a number of schools, but I am not sure enough to overcome (at NEU) a lower than average GPA and AP test scores. Certainly apply, but make sure to have match schools and at least one affordable safety.
FYI, Northeastern won’t accept AP scores of 3. I think a better strategy would have been to take fewer AP classes and get higher scores. Most selective schools really want to see top 10% in their class, so if you can try to improve that senior year that would be good.
