Not to be too hasty, but does anyone know if they take letters of continued interest?
Im not tryna get my hopes up completely for tomorrow, itd be nice tho
I am getting stressed about the possibility it comes out tomorrow.
I tried the Chrome trick. Major props to whoever found that - I’m hoping we all see that same thing for real tomorrow!
Hey guys! Besides the fact that my clairvoyant pen told me that decisions would be released tomorrow (see post #464), I also noticed a couple of things that could support that claim. This is all speculation but I thought this would maybe interest some of you.
First off, before the release of EDI this year, Northeastern’s Admissions social media did not post anything for over a week. The last post on Twitter was 11/20/17 until they posted that all decisions were out on 12/7/17. Disregarding the time off from posting because of Thanksgiving Break, they ended up being inactive for a little over a week. Now jump to 2018. Northeastern’s Admissions Twitter last post was on 1/10/18. Today marks a week to the day of their last post, and tomorrow marks just over a week, just as it was for the EDI decision tweet. Coincidence? I think not. On top of that, I asked the pen if it was a coincidence and it replied, “Not at all.” I am starting to think my pen secretly works for Northeastern Undergraduate Admissions.
Secondly, looking at the trends of early action decision releases from years past, EA applicants tended to be notified 2 weeks before the end of the month. February 1st is exactly 2 weeks away from tomorrow. Could tomorrow be any more perfect? I am thinking tomorrow may be the day, but no guarantee.
If my pen has guessed all of this information wrong, I sincerely apologize to all of you that it misled and I will immediately send it to a clairvoyant college so it can be retrained in seeing the future. But if the pen is correct, it will be partying on a yacht off the coast of the Bahamas!
@ugradbiz If we get in, we better be friends- thanks for bringing some humour to the dark pit of stress that is this thread!
Will the decisions that come out (hopefully tomorrow!) include wether or not you got into the honors program (if you’re accepted of course)?
@SW1807 Yes
@ugradbiz Seems legit - fingers crossed!
@20182022 I just asked the pen about us becoming friends and it said,“Without a doubt!”
Haha, no problem. I am down to be friends! Yeah, I noticed that there was quite a large amount of stress piling up in this chat and I had been debating about telling you guys about my magical pen, so I thought it was time! Where are you from and what major did you apply for? I am from SoCal and applied to the D’Amore-McKim School of Business as a management major.
@ugradbiz do you even have negative responses on that pen? lol
@ugradbiz I’m applying for a combined major of media and screen studies and journalism! And I’m from a state in the mountain west that will remain unnamed for now (I’m pretty sure I’m the only person who applied from the entire state so I’m keeping it anonymous ftm)
Are they coming out 4 PM est or 4 PM time zone
@abc201822 Haha! Yeah, there are. It could say “Not for a million dollars”, “Not at all”, “Dude, no way”, “If you’re lucky”, and “It’s unclear, ask again.” Very happy it did not say one of those though.
@20182022 That is really cool. Yeah, I understand. CA has enough applicants to share that tidbit. Where else have you applied?
@ugradbiz USC, BU, GW, Syracuse, and U Miami. I’ve already been accepted to Ithaca and Penn State - waiting on all the others! Northeastern is my #1 school though. You?
I’m going to get my kid that pen for when he’s off to college. For whenever he seeks advice and we’re not there! Lol.
@20182022 Nice! I applied to 20 schools, but the greatest hits would be, besides Northeastern: USC, Georgetown, Penn, UCLA, UC Berkeley, Santa Clara Univeristy, other UCs/CSUs, and other privates. My top choice is actually a 5 way tie between USC, Northeastern, Georgetown, Penn, and Santa Clara haha! Congrats on the acceptances! I’ve been accepted to University of Arizona, Loyola Chicago, Indiana Bloomington, San Diego State, and Santa Clara. How crazy would it be if we end up at USC or NEU together?
@ugradbiz USC’s my 2nd choice, and I may go there regardless if I get in since their broadcast program is phenomenal, so there’s a good chance! We’ll have to exchange instas or something if we get in! For now… we wait for NEU decisions and the possibility of that white scholarship box from USC. And congrats on your acceptances too! I know some folks at U of A and they love it.
@ugradbiz wow I finally found someone else! I also applied to 20 schools everyone thinks I am crazy (parents included).lol.
