Here are the OP stats from a Northeastern U thread.

*SATS

Total - 1980
Math/CR - 1320
I’m still undecided about taking them again in the fall. I feel like they are sufficient, however I told myself I was going to break 2000 and I was very disappointed that I fell just short.

GPA
Not sure what my GPA is at the moment… My school hasnt done it for me yet… and I dont have my grades from freshman or sophmore year to get an estimate… However my average for all three years on naviance is an 87.50. But I don’t know what that will make my GPA.*

I think he needs to test again for the best scholarship consideration. However, I’m not sure if his GPA (about a 3.3 GPA) will prevent him from scholarship consideration. Don’t know if that is his weighted GPA.

Either way, schools like Northeastern are unlikely if he doesn’t get a huge scholarship because the expected family contribution will be too high.
