Hi guys, I've been really interested in Northeastern for a while now. I took the SAT and I'm just wondering what the average SAT score is for students who get accepted? Just trying to see if I'm in the ballpark. Thanks in advance!
Hi there! Northeastern University is an excellent choice, and it's good that you're considering your SAT score as part of your application. While the average SAT score can vary slightly from year to year, generally, the middle 50% of admitted students at Northeastern's most recent class have scores ranging from the 1490 to 1540. It's important to note that Northeastern practices test-optional admissions, so submitting your SAT scores is not required.
Keep in mind that Northeastern evaluates applicants holistically, meaning they will also consider your extracurricular activities, essays, recommendation letters, and GPA in addition to your test scores. You should aim to demonstrate that you are not only academically capable, but also involved in extracurricular pursuits and have strong personal qualities. Good luck with your application!
