Northeastern is closed tomorrow due to the snowstorm. Decisions may come out next week but more likely the week after.
There will be a very different acceptance rate depending on major…right? Looking at past comments- it would be difficult to predict admission unless you post the school you are applying to…engineering, business…etc…
Northeastern claims admission rates are similar for all majors and don’t release that stat. I’d guess there’s a noticeable difference but not night and day.
business school 22% acceptance rate…engineering 28%…according to their reports…
Can you cite that?
Given that the engineering acceptance rate you listed is higher/on par with the overall rate, I am quite skeptical. If anything, I would suspect it to be lower than the average, though again, I have never seen an admission rate listed by major for Northeastern in the past 4 years.
does northeastern only defer or accept for EA or do they also reject?
They defer, accept, and reject.
I hope descisions come soon. Northeastern is my last early to hea from, already heard from bc, Tulane, Fordham, and notre dame. Anyone else apply to bc too?
I applied to BC too and was deferred. Hoping for better news from Northeastern although BC is my #1 @User1555
I applied to Boston college and was admitted; however, I’d much rather attend Northeastern and the wait is killing me.
Sorry to hear, was admitted from bc but they’re so different so hoping for he best @bcboundmaybe
@nhsstudent123 same here
@nhsstudent123 @user1555 I applied health sciences / biology. Applied to BC, Northeastern, BU, Emory, UNC, UF, and FSU. My top 3 are BC, Northeastern and UF with Emory close to the top 3. Good luck to both of you for Northeastern. My fingers are crossed… I should hear from northeastern, Unc and FSU by 2/1.
Does Northeastern usually release decisions on a Thursday or do the days vary?
Yeah, is this coming Thursday a solid possibility for decisions being released?
No one knows. Decisions have come out on various days. Northeastern was closed for 2 days this past week due to the storm so any plans they had for release of decisions may be postponed.
@BCBoundMaybe Are you from FL? We applied to a lot of the same schools, I dont really have a number one, so far accepted to Notre Dame, BC, Tulane, Fordham, and LSU, and of course waiting on Northeastern/FSU/UF and then I applied regular to some Ivies and then NYU.
Did you all receive application confirmation letters? My S18, who applied EA, received an email from Common App after applying in November that his application was received, and has gotten an email asking for additional financial documents that NU somehow couldn’t access on iDocs, but didn’t receive any other communication. He was trying to look at the portal and it says he should have an NU ID from the application confirmation letter. . . . just worried that something may have been missing that we didn’t realize?
@pickledginger my confirmation email was in my junk folder, it tells you what your NU id as well as the link to the portal
@User1555 yeah, I live in FL but I’m from MA. Are you from FL? What made you pick UF/FSU and BC/Northeastern?
