Work very hard in high school and take honors and AP classes. Above average or average classes won't cut it. Also, take SAT classes to improve your scores.

“- Above schools medianApr 25 2010Art & Design Department
- Above schools median SAT / ACT scores, I also submitted both sets of scores
- Robust resume - lots of extracurriculars (Golf Team, Art Club, French Club, Stage Crew for theater productions), I made sure to show consistency and room for growth
- Personality: I made sure to write an essay where I could write about anything I wanted, and made sure it was the best damn piece of writing I'd ever done. Mine happened to be about what pissed me off about High School (Physics, the commute, the damnable social hierarchy).
- Summers: Don't waste away your summer by the pool, get a job, be a camp counselor, do a pre-college program if you have the ca$h
- I pursued a lot of things outside of school, I wrote a thesis and did volunteer work, show that things that you do in your free time make you a good and competitive candidate, and how it will make you an asset to the school.

“I did well in school, took APs and honors,Mar 24 2010Undecided
I did well in school, took APs and honors, and participated in clubs. You also need to do well on SATs and ACTs. Northeastern is a great school but they don't just take the extreme intellectuals, they take a variety of students (all still smart though). As long as your application exemplifies that you are driven, ie. APs and honors and clubs and high positions held, you are likely to get in.
ACT: 28 Female
