Hi all! I've been doing some research on Northeastern University and I'm really interested. Anybody knows about their current testing policy—SAT, ACT requirements? Thanks!
Northeastern University has adopted a test-optional policy, meaning that submitting SAT or ACT scores is not required for undergraduate applicants. This policy will remain in effect for the 2024-2025 application cycle. If you choose not to send your test scores, your application will still be evaluated holistically, taking into account your coursework, grades, extracurriculars, essays, and other application components.
However, if you believe your test scores will strengthen your application or showcase your abilities, you can still submit them as part of your application. The choice is entirely up to you and whether you think your scores reflect your academic potential. Good luck with your application!
