SAT Score Range for Northeastern?

Hey guys. I'm just a stressed junior looking to get into Northeastern, and I was wondering if anyone knew the typical SAT range. I want to gauge how likely my chances are.

Hello! Breathe a little; you've got this. To provide an idea of the SAT scores Northeastern typically accepts, as per the most recent data available, the middle 50% of admitted students scored between 1480 and 1540 on the SAT. That being said, Northeastern, like many selective institutions, doesn't just look at test scores, but also evaluates academic performance, extracurriculars, essays, and other aspects of an applicant's profile. In fact, they don't have to look at your test scores at all - Northeastern is test-optional. Our blog post breaks down the implications of test-optional policies in a bit more detail here: https://blog.collegevine.com/does-test-optional-mean-test-optional.

While a test score in Northeastern's accepted student range can give a boost to your application, remember that it's just one piece of the puzzle. Be sure to focus on your essays, seeking strong letters of recommendation, and demonstrating your interests through your activities. You can also demonstrate interest in Northeastern by signing up for virtual events: https://admissions.northeastern.edu/visit/virtual-visit-experience/. Northeastern does track demonstrated interest, so small actions like these help the school know you're interested. Hope this helps to alleviate some of your worries!
