Are merit awards offered regardless of financial aid info? My D was accepted into the N.U. In program and apparently you can’t use merit on that program. Does this mean she isn’t being offered any merit aid?

Lots of deferrals. What % of deferrals were ultimately accepted in the RD round last year?

If your FAFSA and CSS were in on time, you should of received any merit and FA today on a separate tab in her portal. NU grants seems to be allowed for use now in NUIN but not any federal aid bc NUIN student are not matriculated until Spring semester. Doublecheck with FA either way to be sure they are not needing any additional docs from you.
What does it suggest if it says “prepare to…?” My daughter isn’t home and I’m not going to click and open but I’m dying to know!!! She won’t be home for two more hours!!!

Just funny since dad works there not just legacy. And it started off as first choice but with Covid restrictions and craziness in Boston, it slipped.

What craziness in Boston?
Three years ago, my daughter was accepted with 27K Honors scholarship. After she became a NM finalist, it got bumped to 32K. I believe it was the max scholarship back then. She is attending and loving it.
I was watching every year and it looks like they are reducing the max scholarship a little bit every year. Her brother applied this year with even better stats and got accepted with 24k scholarship. Hopefully, it will get bumped up when he becomes NM finalist, though I’m not expecting it to go as high as hers.
Congrats to all accepted and good luck to deferred!

Good leadership and ECs, but not world changing!
Disappointed, but hopeful for RD. Was hoping for merit money. Hope it’s not off the table now.
Also, will we know by 3/31 as that is the deadline to designate Northeastern as your chosen school for National Merit money?
Has acceptances at Purdue and Case Western, but loves Boston.
