Hey there, I'm working on my ACT prep and Northeastern is one of my top choices. Does anyone know their preferred ACT score range? I’m trying to set an achievable goal for myself.
Northeastern University tends to be quite selective, with a high average ACT score for its admitted students. Typically, the middle 50% ACT score range for Northeastern is between 33 and 35. This means that 25% of admitted students score below 33, while another 25% score above 35.
Now, bear in mind that these are just averages, and there can still be some wiggle room depending on the rest of your application. It's crucial to aim for the highest score you can. Performing well on your ACT could make your application more competitive, but Northeastern is actually test-optional, so if you don't want to submit your scores, you don't have to.
