I plan to apply to Northeastern but I don’t think my family qualifies for financial aid…or a considerable amount anyway. We are middle class and make a decent living, but its the savings and assets I guess that do us in.
I would be depending on academic/merit scholarship to make things worthwhile for me.
Here are my stats:

Academics:

GPA - Unweighted: 4.00
GPA - Weighted: 4.62
Class Rank: 1
Class Size: 699

Scores:

SAT I Math: 760
SAT I Critical Reading: 690
SAT I Writing: 760
ACT: 32
SAT II U.S. History: 770
SAT II Math Level 2 (IIC): 800
SAT II Biology - M: 720

Extracurriculars:

Significant Extracurriculars: Science Club, World Affairs Club, Future Business Leaders of America, Model United Nations, NJHS (9th), Concert Band (9th), National Honor Society, Independent study of French 4 (Got an A on Final)
Leadership positions: Treasurer of National Honor Society
President of World Affairs Club
Honors and Awards: American Legion Scholar Award, Top in Social Studies and Business Technology/Communications, Concert Band Service Award (4 years of band)

College Summer programs: American Legion Keystone Boys State

I don’t have any volunteer work at the moment…do you think that hurts me? Would starting up some volunteer work now until help by the time I apply?
Do you think I could get the Trustee scholarship or any other considerable scholarship?
Thanks for any info/insight you can provide!
