my child’s letter says by January 15th as well, they applied in the first couple days of october, maybe the school adjusted the date once they say how many applicants there were
@grotonMAdad That makes sense. My son submitted his application close to the November 1 deadline.
My mom was told by an admissions counselor that EA hears before Christmas, but their website says Feb 1st, so… I’m definitely not hearing before Christmas.
Maybe the 1/15 vs. 2/1 notice date is based on what school one has applied to.
Possibly your admissions counselor is still referring to last year’s dates @ag2000 . It changed this year.
Does anyone know what happens if you are deferred EA? I applied EA but if the decision does not come out until after the RD deadline, do they automatically transfer deferred students to RD or do we have to resubmit ourselves?
Yes, deferred applications are automatically put into the RD pile. Deferred means your application is strong, but there are only so many ED and EA spots. If they didn’t think your application was strong, you would have gotten a rejection.
Thank you!
Northeastern EA decisions come out on December 31st fyi
@gct3520 how did you find this out?
says who
I hope this is true!
December 31st is a Sunday. I’ve not heard of any college releasing on a Sunday.
Ugh! Thanks for bursting my bubble. 
That was last year. The Northeastern website says that EA decisions will be out “by February 1st”. That is a change from last year.
@mjmthesecond @Lszn2018 I saw it on https://www.collegedata.com/cs/data/college/college_pg02_tmpl.jhtml?schoolId=456
I mean idk if it’s true or not but that’s just where i saw it if you scroll down a bit
@gct3520 Always go to the source instead of third party sites
https://www.northeastern.edu/admissions/
Yeah, that information is even inaccurate for previous years on things that have not changed. Admission is not rolling for RD nor has it ever been.
I read that EA comes out december 31st
December 31st is the deadline for EA decisions from previous years. This year there have been changes. Results should be expected between Jan 15th and February 1st.
