Hey guys! I'm looking into applying to Northeastern University, and I'd like to know the acceptance rate before I start working on my application. Can anyone help me out with this info? Thanks!
Hey there! Northeastern University, located in Boston, Massachusetts, has seen a decrease in its acceptance rate in recent years due to its increasing popularity. During the most recent admissions cycles, Northeastern's acceptance rate has been around 5-7%. Keep in mind that acceptance rates can fluctuate slightly from year to year, but that's about the level of competition you should be expecting.
Don't let this low number intimidate you, though. Rather, focus on giving your best effort on each component of your application, including your GPA, SAT/ACT scores if submitting, essays, and extracurriculars. Control what you can control, by demonstrating what you personally have to offer the Northeastern community.
Wishing you the best of luck with your college application process!
