Northeastern Transfer Thread - Fall 2018

This is surprising although Northeastern has been reducing the number of transfer admits the last few years.

No way that they will keep us waiting this long, it just isn’t practical for the university or us

I wonder if the admissions rep said “BY June 15th”. When people called regarding RD decisions they were told BY April 1st right up until the day decisions were released, around March 15th.

@TomSrOfBoston thats what im saying

That is absolutely ridiculous to wait until June 15th. Even if they want to decrease their transfer acceptance, that’s incredibly risky–unless someone is content with waiting all that time for NEU, sacrificing a deposit, or staying at their current school in the face of rejection, who would bother?

Guys I don’t think they’re releasing on June 15, especially since that is the deadline. It’s impossible for a school to give people only a few hours to make a deposit. I just don’t understand why they aren’t being straight forward over the phone

I think the process this year may be different than the past years though. They over accepted students last year, and I feel that may impact future students attempting to apply as both incoming freshman/and transfers.

I agree with @transfer3656.

@transfer3656 I think they just haven’t bothered to update the site and will give people 2 weeks to turn in the deposit, like a few of the other schools I apply to are. The people on the phone do seem to be giving us the runaround, which is reason enough to be wary. It probably does have to do with them overfilling their classes last year, and they probably are waiting till the last minute so a bulk of applicants are forced to accept somewhere else. It’s ridiculous for us, but makes sense from their point of view. Still mad I wasted all that time and money on the application though.

Hell hath no fury like a college applicant scorned.

So is there a chance that it will be this Friday? Or will it be on July 15th?

@darkhound173 honestly it could be from now until the 15th. No way to tell exactly when

Yeah I really don’t think they will wait until June 15th to let everyone know. If you look on the portal, it states that Deposit Deadline for admitted students: Rolling based on decision release. and Transfer applicants for Fall 2018 will be notified of their decision by June 15, 2018.

Anyone wanna guess when decisions are actually released?

I don’t think admissions officers would say that they are not going to release decisions in waves and won’t release any until mid- June unless it’s true. If they wanted to give us the run around they would give us the same crap answer that they release them over a vague three month period

Y’all… let’s all just relax…

and watch this NFL Draft.

Go Pats!!! :slight_smile:

Just got rejected for BU. Really hope to get into NEU:(

I emailed my admissions counselor asking if a MAJORITY of transfer admission decisions would be out by June 1st. She responded by saying: “Yes, the majority of decisions will be released before June 1st with June 1st being the absolute last date.”

She’s one of the directors, so I’ll assume her info is more accurate than the other person’s? Feel free to email your admissions counselor to verify the info I gave (find out their info on the applicant login lage).

I have to submit a deposit for another school by MAY 15. SMH

Hey guys, I’m pretty sure today (last Friday of April) is the first day they will release decisions. But don’t put your hopes up! Just look out on your page.
