Studying in the United States: Northeastern University has strict requirements for undergraduate application.
Northeastern University, founded in 1898, is one of the largest private universities in the United States. The main campus covers an area of 67 acres and is located in Boston, close to the famous Harvard University and Massachusetts Institute of Technology. There are more than 5000 full-time undergraduates/kloc-0, and more than 3500 full-time postgraduates, and international students account for 12.3% of the total number of students.

Northeastern University has strict requirements for undergraduate application. I hope students can fully understand the school's deadline and application requirements before applying:

Tips 1- Deadline: In previous years, the school provided spring admission and autumn admission for undergraduates. 20 12 schools only offer admission in autumn, but not in spring. Nursing, pharmacy, physiotherapy, health science, music technology, studio art and architecture do not offer admission in spring all the year round. The autumn deadline of 20 12 is EA 165438+ 10/0, rd 65438+1 0/5. In addition, students who want to apply for transfer should note that the school does not accept transfer students majoring in nursing, pharmacy, physiotherapy, health science and so on.

TIPS 2-materials required for application: resume (not required, recommended), high school transcripts (including mid-term and final exam results of senior three), recommendation letter, transcript grading standard, proof of funds, and portfolio (art students).

TIPS 3-standardized test: the school requires students who apply for undergraduate courses to have a TOEFL score of 79 or above, an IELTS score of 6.5 or above, and a SAT reading score of 500 or above. However, according to the admission situation in previous years, the actual admission scores are much higher than the required scores: GPA 3.7-4.2, ACT 29-32, SAT total score 1890-2 140, SAT reading 620-700, SAT mathematics 650-730, SAT composition 620-765438. It can be seen from this data that if students want to be admitted to the school, they must make some efforts in language achievement. Language scores can be sent directly to schools through ETS system or mailed together with high school transcripts. The transfer of student transcripts requires the certification of an authoritative certification body.

TIPS 4-Portfolio: Students who apply for music technology and studio art should submit their portfolios according to the requirements of the school; For students majoring in art and design, although the school is not required to submit a portfolio, it is recommended to submit a portfolio in order to make themselves more competitive among many applicants. The portfolio should be sent directly to the Admissions Committee.

Tips 5: Students will receive an application confirmation email (including Northeastern University ID number and online application status account) within 7 days after submitting the application. This email is very important. Students must take good care of it.
