Northeastern's HS Course Reqs?

I'm a junior getting my college list together and Northeastern is a top choice. Can someone explain what specific high school course requirements Northeastern University wants? I don't want to miss out just because I didn't plan my schedule right.

Absolutely, planning ahead is essential, and it's great that you're thinking about meeting specific college requirements. For Northeastern University, they recommend that applicants have completed the following coursework by the time they graduate high school: 4 years of English, 3-4 years of Math (through pre-calculus recommended), 2-4 years of laboratory science, 3-4 years of social science, 2-4 years of the same foreign language, and 2-3 years of elective classes that are college preparatory in nature. It ultimately depends on the program you're interested in; for example, check out the HS course requirements for engineering: https://coe.northeastern.edu/academics-experiential-learning/undergraduate-studies/undergraduate-admission-aid/

It's always good to go beyond the minimum when you can, taking AP, IB, or honors classes where possible. This demonstrates you're challenging yourself. However, make sure you can handle the workload and maintain a strong GPA.

Since you're a junior, you still have time to adjust your senior year schedule if needed. Try to align your courses with these recommendations for the best chances when applying to Northeastern. If you're in doubt or if your school offers a different curriculum, I suggest speaking with your own counselor to ensure you're on the right track and making the best selections aligned with your academic goals. Best of luck with your preparations!
