I just sent in my application yesterday. I marked that NUin was my preference because I really want to go to Australia. I was just wondering if anyone else is planning on marking NUin as their preference.
There is now an option to apply directly to NUIn for Fall??
On the common app there is a question asking if you would be interested in NUin and one of the options to pick is “yes this would be my preference” @TomSrOfBoston
This is great on NEU’s part. It should improve yield - instead of randomly selecting who wants NUin and who they will instead wait list, they can offer NUin to those interested.
Agreed - I was very happy to hear about this change.
Important though: if you are considering this, make sure you understand how financials work for that first semester!
On this part I said “open to considering it”, just because NEU is my top choice and I’d honestly go there if that was their offer, but I wouldn’t prefer it.
What is the exact wording and options? I know of the option but not its specifics.
Question :
All Northeastern applicants are considered for admission to both the fall semester (on-campus in Boston), as well as for the N.U.in Program (fall semester abroad/spring semester in Boston). Selected applicants who begin during the Fall semester may also participate in N.U.in Spring and spend their second semester abroad. Would you be interested in studying abroad during your first year through Northeastern’s N.U.in Program?
Options :
Yes, that would be my preference.
Yes, I am open to considering a semester of my first year abroad.
No, I would prefer not to study abroad in my first year.
(I’m choosing number two.)
Sorry @PengsPhils
Thanks @marijke !
