How many people get off the waitlist?
As a note to people watching along without a decision yet, decisions in the Northeast / NY / NJ tend to be more competitive. I am in the process of crunching data on that from EA and am hoping to use data posted here to complete that set and have it available for next year’s admissions cycle.
Decision : Rejected
SAT/ACT (Superscore): 1360 (pretty low compared to others)
GPA (UW/W + Scale Info): 3.8 UW / 4.72 W
State/Country: PA
Major: Criminal Justice and Psychology
Did you apply for FA?: Yes
Honors/NMF/etc?: I received honors my all 4 years of high school and was in NHS and NAHS (not sure if this is what honors means)
Extracurricular: I lead many clubs on the board and was involved in many activties
Ap: 6 Ap’s
my “thankyou for applying to neu” message has dissapeared???
I had a 30 ACT, 44/45 IB prediction had applied early and got deferred and now rejected… Northeastern was my safety school… I already got into U of michigan.
it did for me too, but I’m in the Midwest so not sure if it means anything
@Acortez122 The waitlist hasn’t been used much in past years but Northeastern was overenrolled 2 years ago and have used a more conservative approach the last 2 cycles. I would not bank on the waitlist being used but this appears to be more common based on the CC sample set so far this year. Assume it’s low for now, but it’s not impossible.

SAT/ACT (Superscore): 1490

@prouddad2020 Northeastern is looking to admit students who are not using the school as a safety. According to the Common Data Set “Showing Interest” is considered. How they measure that is not publicized.
