<p>Anyone? I’ve had my heart set on NU for quite some time I don’t want to be crushed by a “Denied” letter. xD I’d rather now now what my chances are! =]</p>

<p>You should always apply if you love a school :wink: </p>

<p>This website has admit/reject stats… but I’m not sure that it is representative of all apps. You can compare to your own

<p>Your scores seem lower than average admit, but you fine GPA and interesting activities may be just what they are looking for. Good luck!</p>

<p>oops… web link didn’t work. Google on mychances college admissions</p>

5

<p>Retake them and shoot for an 1850+ then you would have a good chance.</p>

<p>Won’t the fact that I am male,hispanic, have a 4.0 GPA (Unweighted ) and I have done 4 years of soccer as well as a truckload of extracurricular activities ( including starting my own business ) help me get into Northeastern? Don’t they look at all of that? Also, what is the easiest school to get into?</p>

<p>^ that question means nothing… and yes all that helps but your math scores (they dont’ look at writing i think) are AVERAGE… actually below average because avg is 510 so it really makes your 4.0 not look at good… get them both above 600-650 and you’re in most likely</p>

<p>A lot of schools do value diligence (GPA) over test scores. Maybe you can find a way (in an essay?) to mention getting nervous on tests. If you’ve taken tough classes or done interesting projects, let them know that too. Good luck.</p>
