That’s one thing I am worried about, I have a deadline of May 1st as well… which I think is common for most transfer students. I will have to call admissions to see if they can expedite.
Sorry, one more update. I just called about that application dead of May 1st. The admissions let slip that it might be the end of the month, but followed up with we have no idea when the first wave will be sent out.
Why do they send out waves and not just send them out all at once?
ffs!
No clue, maybe so they don’t get ten thousand people calling all at the same time about being accepted or denied.
How on earth do they not know when they’ll be releasing decisions?!
So we should start finding out tomorrow?
according to the previous posts then yes.
But it doesn’t have to be tomorrow because Northeastern is kind of indecisive on when to release decisions so they only give people an approximate date of when it should be released.
This just sounds like a bad plan for them. We can’t just wait for them after the May 1 deadline. And even if everyone could get deadline extensions they claim that decisions can be made as late as June 15. Why isn’t this all synchronized like it is for first years?
I am hoping everything works out for everyone. We all deserve the best!
I’m not locked out yet so I’m assuming it’s not gonna be today
Do they usually lock people out this early or do they usually do it during their office hours?
I’m pretty annoyed at this point… I understand that with all the freshman applicants they must be busy but this is getting ridiculous…
I’ve heard April 1st, April 10th and April 15th and the latest, “we don’t know” from admissions directly. They have only once answered any email I have ever sent them. It was a response from an email from January which I received a week ago.
I have emailed admissions, and two counsellors, to no avail. No answers, at all.
We’ve all had limited success calling and I have other schools who want a decision by May 1… So I’m really confused about what to think at this point.
Well I guess all we can do is just wait then…
Ya, hopefully we hear something back throughout the day, but I am not holding my breath. Pretty disappointing that the year I apply appears to be the year they fall of the rails with this process, as the in the past we would have heard something a week ago.
I suppose there is only one thing to do at this point…post wild speculation as to the reason for this unusually long delay. I will go first…
Perhaps a few of the young, new to the job, or perhaps even intern admissions assistance have gathered together under a loose alliance and staged a coup. In an effort to seize back control of the situation, senior admissions officials have severed all communication to the outside world.
Earlier in this battle things looked promising for the ragtag groups of admission assistant rebels, they had managed to take control of 50% of the admissions office, and were nearing the communications control framework. However due to recent infighting within the rebels, they have lost a lot of momentum.
Taking advantage of this moment of weakness, senior admissions officials have made a surge and expect to have the situation under control by the end of the month. Which is why there have been state controlled media leaks aluding to this.
This actually sounds more reasonable than anything else I can think of.
Actually, I think bears and llamas taking over the admission office sounds more plausible.
Have been to the admissions office recently. Cannot confirm or deny the presence of any bears and/or llamas on the premises.
I just got an email back from the admissions office and they said they have not yet begun sending out decisions yet and will do so as soon as possible. He also confirmed that they will all be sent out by June 1st, but I don’t think that helps.
