I’m applying to Northeastern as an undergraduate applicant for the Spring 2006 semester to the College of Arts and Science (Political Science major). Currently, I attend (and have attended) a local community college in New Hampshire, accumulating my “general education” courses. These range from college composition, to basic art and math courses, to Intro. to Poli Sci & American Government. I have maintained a 3.6 GPA (3 A’s and B- on an online course) after completing one semester ( I graduated from high school in 2004) and I will be enrolling in courses at the same school this upcoming Fall semester. I’m shooting for a 3.7 cumulative GPA in the Fall with a four course course-load. Since I graduated, other than school, I’ve been employed full-time and have split my time up between several different activities in my community, ranging from coaching youth lacrosse, to being an intern/tour guide at a local American Independance museum in New Hampshire, to coaching Special Olympics, and I am currently getting involved in the Big Brother-Big Sister program. I am trying my hardest to show Northeastern that I am a worthy candidate for admission, as I maintain solid academic performance while remaining active in the community, but do you feel that I have done enough since graduating from high school to make myself a competitive applicant? Please share your opinions, I’m all ears.
