Accepted off Waitlist!

Yesterday I recieved an email for Northeastern informing me I have been accepted off the waitlist. I had already committed to UGA so I’m not fully sure on what to do. I am planning on majoring in mathematics/actuary science for background. Also they gave me $36k a year in financial aid, but I will still have to ask for more to make going there viable.

Any advice on what I should do. As of now, the financials for UGA would be cheaper and the logistics would be easier. Any advantages to going to Northeastern aside from it being in a nicer area (imo)?

Follow the money! UGA is a great school as well. You don’t want to spend a ton more on an equally great undergrad degree.

So true! I’m like 80 percent sure im going to graduate school anyway. I’ll still be requesting more financial aid from Northeastern but as of now I have free tuition at UGA

There is basically a negative chance of getting more aid from Northeastern, sorry. Not only have I never seen a case of them revising a financial aid award without any new information/significant circumstantial changes, but also if you’re coming off the waitlist, they’re probably not pulling out all the stops.
