I just want to say hi to everyone on this thread. I popped on because this year I have students applying and I like to see when the waves hit different areas. CC is the ultimate recon! Very different from last year, when I was both a parent and a counselor. I’m actually more nervous for some of my students.
And for those of you deferred or denied, just know that the admissions cycle is just beginning and lots can change. You’ll get in places you didn’t necessarily expect and be rejected from schools you thought were perhaps a sure thing. Over the years, I’ve seen kids end up in unexpected places and usually thrive, or adjust course and figure out a different path. The most important thing is that you go to college somewhere you and your family can afford that will provide opportunities for you.
Personally, I’m now a Northeastern parent. My son had quite the admissions change of heart and almost gave us whiplash last year. NEU went from “the school my mom made me apply to because she liked it” to “interesting” to “top three” to “where I want to go.” And the kid who was sure he wanted a small liberal arts school made a giant leap and couldn’t be a happier freshman. He got into some of the top CC Universities and top CC Liberal Arts Colleges, but he went with where he thought he could maximize his experiences.
What you’re so sure of right now may change. Just open your heart and your brain to lots of places and you’ll find your opportunities too. You can and should allow yourself to be disappointed if you didn’t get the decision you wanted. From my end, I can’t predict decisions and I know a lot about my students. It’s no reflection on you, your abilities or your future if you get a no.

@12345awesomedragons According to an email that was sent out to counselors today, the acceptance rate for EA is roughly 16% (not counting those who got accepted for N.U.in)
I just got in but nothing had changed from earlier today. Link still says “https:// ugadmissions.northeastern.edu/ApplicantApp/PreDecision. asp”
like it has each time I’ve obsessively hit refresh over the past months lol
So looks like maybe they’ve fixed the issue and can resume uploading decisions. I’m in Oklahoma, so should have been part of the 7-9 p.m. wave if things had been working properly. No email yet, and nothing has changed at all in my portal yet.
Lmaoo after THEEE HOURS of obsessively reloading the (not working) website, I finally got in and no decision is posted ?. Like at this point I don’t think I’m getting it today. VA was supposed to come out at the latest 36 mins ago.
has anyone from CA heard back?
