Hey guys, I'm seriously considering Northeastern University and I'm curious about the SAT scores of their admitted students. Would anybody be able to provide such data? Thanks in advance!
Hello! Northeastern University is a competitive school, and it's great that you're considering applying there. For the middle 50% of admitted students, SAT scores typically range from around 1450 to 1535. To put it another way, 25% of incoming students score below 1450, 25% score above 1535, and the other 50% fall within that range.
Keep in mind that standardized test scores are only one aspect of your application, and Northeastern uses a holistic review process when evaluating applicants. It's important to present a strong overall application, including a compelling personal statement, solid extracurricular activities, and impressive GPA.
That being said, if your SAT score falls within or above the stated range, you're in a good position from a testing perspective. If your score is below that range, don't lose hope – you can still showcase your strengths in other areas of your application, or consider retaking the SAT to improve your score. Good luck!
