CATS Academy Boston is excited to announce that three of our students have been accepted to Northeastern University, one of the top 50 universities in the United States.
Northeastern University is ranked the 46th best university and the 5th most innovative school* in the United States.
One student in particular, Huu, will be joining Northeastern University to pursue a major in Finance.
Huu, from Vietnam, joined CATS Academy Boston in Grade 10. During his time here, his course selection reflects both intellectual breadth and focus, with Advanced Placement classes in Calculus AB, Microeconomics, and Statistics supporting a clear interest in Finance. At the same time, Huu pursued creative and technical interests through College Preparatory courses such as Piano, Introduction to Drawing, Robotics, Electronics, Programming, and 3D Design, demonstrating curiosity, versatility, and a well-rounded academic profile.
Beyond the classroom, Huu distinguished himself through meaningful extracurricular involvement and sustained community service. A six-year commitment to a charitable nonprofit organization in Vietnam and four years of volunteering as an English tutor highlight a deep sense of responsibility, leadership, and global perspective. His engagement was further strengthened through three years as a Boston Cares volunteer and two years serving as Treasurer and committee member of the CATS Student Government, where Huu developed organizational, financial, and leadership skills aligned with his intended major in Finance. Participation in Chess Club, Coding Club, and Ultimate Frisbee further showcases analytical thinking, teamwork, and initiative—qualities that helped Huu stand out as a strong and competitive candidate for Northeastern University.
We are incredibly proud of Huu as he prepares to take the next step in his educational journey!
