Hey everyone! I am aiming to apply to Northeastern University and I've been studying for the SAT (can't wait to be done with it, tbh). Can anyone tell me what the average SAT score is for admitted students, so I have a target to reach for? Thanks in advance!
Hi there! As of the most recent data available for Northeastern University, the middle 50% SAT score range for admitted students is 1480-1540. This means that 25% of admitted students scored below 1480, while another 25% scored above 1540. To be competitive in the admissions process, you'll want to aim for a score that falls within or above this range. However, keep in mind that Northeastern, like many other colleges, takes a holistic approach to admissions, so factors like your extracurriculars, essays, letters of recommendation, and GPA are all important as well. Northeastern is test-optional, so if you don't feel good about your scores, you don't need to submit them at all. Good luck with your SAT studying and your application!
