I am praying that this does not mean a rejection.
I doubt it means anything. They’re just most likely getting the portals ready to release decisions. All will be good. We got this

I apologize for spamming the thread, but does anyone know the ED2 acceptance rate? I read on here that it is incredibly low, but I am wondering if this is factual. I know that the acceptance rate for ED 1 was 44% with 2,942 applicants. The ED2 pool seems to be made of 2,778 applicants. Any ideas or trends that you all have seen that could indicate an acceptance rate?
Source for ED2 and ED 1 applications are found on a BU press release and CollegeKickstart.
Northeastern ED2 decisions were supposed to come out on the 15th and they came out yesterday. I am thinking the decisions are gonna come out sooner than we think.

I don’t think that is true. The overall acceptance under ED (1 & 2) was 50% last year. If you believe the ED1 information above us correct, you can do a quick calc as below:
50% of 3100 (total spots) = 1550. Subtract 44% of whatever the ED1 applicants number. Divide the outcome with the ED2 applications count. That should give you an idea, seems to come to around 11-12% which don’t make sense.
However it may not be as simplistic. For example anyone applying to Bio medical engineering has only less than 10% chance irrespective of which decision path. Also to make things complicated they received 24% more applications this cycle, approximately 76k.
Anyway it comes out today? My portal is down and if so what time
It seems as if the targeted class size is 3,200. I was also at an info session that said they take 53% through ED. Idk I am feeling worried about this because of the uncertainty that the pandemic has caused in this process.
Based on what I have read, 4pm EST seems to be when decisions are released. I do not think it is today.
False alarm everyone! I think our portals are all back up. A little bit more than a week (at most) left eeeeeee

I was reading through the past BU forums and read stuff about the messages on the portals indicating an admissions decision. Mine has not changed since I submitted my application. Any thoughts?
I’m applying ED2 for marketing! Good luck to everyone!! I can’t wait to hear back, hopefully it’s soon.
