Northeastern Transfer Spring 2018

Hi! I haven’t seen a thread for this so I thought I might start one. Northeastern is currently my top choice for transfer. Feel free to post your stats and discuss as waves of decisions roll out. SO EXCITED.

Hi! Thanks for making this thread. It’s my top choice too! Do you know if the decisions are only coming out on 12/1, or can they come out before that?

@Em2180 Hmm according to previous years’ threads, they release decisions in waves every two weeks probably from November onwards. My UMich decisions has already been released even though I sent my applications the same time! Well, I got accepted there so at least I’m not college-less :wink: Where else did you apply to?

Congratulations! That is so awesome! So far, NEU is the only school I’ve applied to. I’m thinking about Holy Cross, Colgate, and a few SUNY schools :slight_smile: but NEU is my top. Where are you transferring from?

@Em2180 I’m an international applicant! Transferring from M’sia

@Em2180 Hey there! I got my admissions decisions today and I GOT IN! Just wondering if your decisions are out yet?

Hi guys! I just got in too? I’m so confused because decisions came out so fast. @JamieAnne

Computer Science major btw

I just got in today too. But no merit money was offered and they somehow lost my css profile so I have to wait to hear back if I’ll get any grants from them.
Biochemistry/Pre-Med

@patfan09 where did you see the information about the merit scholarship? I looked in my financial aid but there’s nothing there to click to view it.

It’s supposed to say it in the acceptance letter itself. I confirmed this with the admissions department and financial aid department today. If it doesn’t mention any merit money in the letter itself, then they expect you to pay the 60k +.

@panda987 There are separate tabs for merit aid and need based aid. Best to view it on a computer instead of a laptop.

@panda987 @patfan09 there’s no on-campus housing for next sem :frowning: Kinda worried

@JamieAnne I know, I was looking through the off campus housing but I wonder when I decide officially if I wanna go or not, if there’s anything left! :frowning:

@patfan09 guessing I got no merit then, hopefully I’ll get good fa grants

congrats!!! any chance you’ll share your stats? Also, for everyone who heard back, when were your applications completed by?

@JamieAnne congrats!!! thats so awesome!! How do you guys know that there is no housing left?

@EA0281 I sent it in on Oct 1st!

@Em2180 It said it in the decision letter.

@panda987 oh man, what do they expect us to do? It’s kinda hard to get accustomed to campus life/meet people if we’re off campus! And how are we supposed to find roommates … this’ll be fun!

@panda987 @Em2180 This is likely due to the over-enrollment of freshmen this fall, though housing generally is not guaranteed for transfers and many people live off campus after their second year typically (50/50 split on vs off campus). I don’t think being off campus will be too big of a deal.

For finding housing and roommates, there are lots of great sublet group for Boston and Northeastern housing I would check out! I can’t post them here due to TOS and admin rules sadly.

I got in on Friday as well! I applied in mid September so I’ve been waiting for a pretty long time

Is everyone who received a decision in the sciences? I applied to a SSH major at the beginning of September and haven’t heard back yet.
