@margaret1515 @DogsAndMath23 This thread includes stats for the past few years:

The average SAT for enrolled Fall, 2017 freshmen was 1465.
Does anyone know how much legacy status has on acceptance?
Zero. Legacy not considered
I was told it was “considered” on the fringes. If two candidates are otherwise equivalent then the legacy would come into play
Officially, “alumni relationship” is “not considered”.
Source: northeastern’s common data set (look up “northeastern CDS”, then go to C and scroll a little)
The CDS info doesn’t agree with info given by the admissions office, but either way it’s not a strong factor. The question is asked on the NU app, and the admissions staff describe it as greatmom said: maybe a tie-breaker, but not much more.
Are decisions released Dec 31?
I have not heard that anywhere, where did you get that from?
I honestly thing that the earliest they’re gonna starting releasing them is the week before Feb. 1st. If they were going to release them earlier then they would’ve given us an earlier date to expect them by.
No decisions will not be released December 31st. The Northeastern website says they will be released by February 1st. So the most likely time would be mid-January.
They said in the app confirmation email that decisions would come out by January 15th and then the website said February 1st. I think it would not be unlikely to expect it by 1/15
I just googled it and saw it on collegedata.com
my email said feb 1
@lonewanderer that was last year. Always go to the source,the college’s own website.
My college office at my school did not submit the school report/transcript/letters of rec to Northeastern yet but the deadline is 1/1/18. I submitted my act and sat scores and have completed my application. I tried calling the Northeastern office but they are closed. Do you think they would let me submit after the deadline?
Northeastern won’t hold that against you @bookluver04 and will accept these late document submissions from your high school. You will be fine. Relax and enjoy the weekend. Happy New Year!
Ah thank you so much! Happy New year to you as well! @WilliamNYC
My friend just told me they got deferred from Northeastern a few days ago, has anyone else been deferred?
From Massachusetts
Did your friend apply EA @mydadtrollsthis ?
Yeah she applied EA! @WilliamNYC
