<p>Gotta be honest. I had no ill intentions when I said that. Plus, look here: [Academic</a> Profile | Admissions](<a href=“http://www.northeastern.edu/admissions/apply/profile.html]Academic”>http://www.northeastern.edu/admissions/apply/profile.html)</p>
<p>Inner range of accepted students’ GPAs is 3.7 to 4.3 on a scale of 5. I spoke to a rep a few weeks back, and they said this was based on the GPAs they calculated and rescaled themselves. I dunno what scale your weighted GPA is on, though. 4? 5?</p>
<p>And as aforementioned, NEU recalculates your GPA based on your course load. You’re standing at a 3.47, not that far from the range of acceptance. And it hasn’t been scaled yet, either. But I don’t know how much it will go up, because I don’t know much about your grades.</p>
<p>PS. My stats are 4.0/4 weighted GPA and 42/429 rank (In one of the crappiest schools in Massachusetts. That’s not good for me.), 32 ACT/2000 SAT, similar ECs, 10 APs and the rest honors. Also bilingual (Viet/English) My rec letters made a single tear roll down my cheek. My guidance counselor said I would probably be accepted. Our stats are kind of similar, but I doubt your high school is as lowly ranked as mine. The only thing that stands really between us is our GPAs as calculated by our schools, but that shouldn’t be much of a problem considering how NEU redoes that. But how can we guarantee that? </p>
<p>PSPS The early action acceptance rate is higher than the regular decision one. Plus the ones accepted in early action have lower stats than the norm.</p>
<p>PSPSPS Some majors are harder and more competitive to get into than others. Apparently the hardest ones are science and business(?)- although I can’t remember where I got that info. Check in with somebody else. I know somebody who got waitlisted as Undecided, who then changed his major to Linguistics or something and got accepted. (Coincidence? I dunno.)</p>
