Help figuring out GPA requirements at Northeastern University

Hey, this might seem a little stressed out, but is there anyone with info on how to calculate the weighted GPA for Northeastern University? I can't seem to figure out their scale and I really wanna know where I stand - help!

Don't worry, it's completely normal to want to understand where your GPA places you for admissions at a desired school like Northeastern. Northeastern University, like many other schools, doesn't stipulate an exact methodology for calculating weighted GPA because high schools vary in their grading systems and how they weight honors, AP, or IB courses.

A good guide to understand where your GPA stands in relation to incoming Northeastern students would be the average GPA of accepted students, which is known to range from 4.2 to 4.6 on a weighted scale.

However, while important, your GPA is not the sole determinant in the admissions process. Admissions will also be considering the level of challenging coursework, your extracurricular commitments, recommendation letters, essays, and standardized test scores (if you're choosing to submit them). You can gauge most of your application materials (excepting essays) using CollegeVine's free admissions calculator: https://www.collegevine.com/admissions-calculator. Often, there are factors that can augment less-than-perfect grades so you're still a competitive applicant. So, even if your GPA might be a little lower than the average, if you have solid performances in other aspects, you will still be in the running. Similarly, if your GPA is higher but your other components are weaker, that could also affect your chances.

Bottom line: Take the most rigorous courses you can handle and perform well in. This will show the admissions committee your ability to tackle the challenging curriculum at Northeastern University. Good luck!
