@MathDad2000 I saw RD without honors accepted yesterday
Do they release RD Honors so that those people will be able to attend the Honors Admitted students day on 3/17? Makes sense… MY daughter was a EA Honors admit.
I see. Thanks. DS also received a $28K/year scholarship. He was accepted into both CCIS (CS) and COS (math).
@MathDad2000 My son was accepted EA for CS and Math as well. Only a 20K scholarship, though.
Did people who got deferred EA get an acceptance on this early release date?
Daughter accepted on 2/13 to Northeastern’s Honors College with 26K merit.
@ParentFL You are right. We received an email that invites us to Honors Welcome Day on 3/17.
Congrats. We’ll be there
Any deferred EA get in during this recent round of acceptance ?
I think that this round was for very top students (has been in past years). Therefore, they would get good merit and honors admissions. I doubt anybody who was deferred would be in this top group (or else they would have been accepted earlier). I also think based upon other years, that some accepted later on will still get merit and/or honors program. Again, all conjecture based upon previous years, but this year is different (ED2 was added and EA acceptance date changed).
@kiddie And perhaps a conservative approach to prevent the over enrolment issue last cycle.
The list of credentials for some of these deferred kids is quite impressive, wonder if part of it is NE feels like they are second choice to some of these kids for schools like Duke, MIT, Cornell etc.
I don’t think that Northeastern is concerned about being second choice to such schools. They do not want to be considered the “if all else fails” safety. In the EA decision thread some student/parents seemed insulted that they were deferred and would withdraw their applications. At least one stated that he didn’t really like Northeastern. Those are the ones they are hoping to dissuade.
Makes sense- I wonder how much of the admissions process involve selected major ?
Does anyone know Northeastern’s deadline for NMF first-choice? There are 5 rosters that go out from NM corporation.
@ohiocollegemom
*National Merit Finalist Deadline:

Hi everyone, I got my acceptance into the honors program 2/13, I’m really looking forward to March 17th welcome day, anyone else gonna be there on the 17th, would love to meet some fellow classmates.
