NU is need aware
Does that mean all possible aid has been posted to the accepted applicants?
Decision: Accepted
SAT/ACT: 1550 (780M/770 EBRW)
State/Country: International
Major: Electrical engineering
@Aajred I am pretty sure that if all of your FA documents were in on time, your acceptance, even to NUIN, will show your FA package, although no federal FA is allowed to be used for NUIN. From following this board for a few years, a lot of NUIN are full pay. But I would have your child call the FA office to be sure.
Thank you!
@tnknes
How do you know how many deferrals there might be?

Applied financial aid : yes but unlikely due to high EFC but 2 in college
My daughter was also accepted to NUin. Her info and breakdown was available on the financial aid tab through her portal page. We submitted FAFSA,CSS, and IDOC requests in November. My understanding is not much, if any, aid goes towards NUin. Best to check with financial services though. Good luck, and congratulations!!
Thanks so much for sharing!
We arenāt full payā¦ itās hard to know what makes the difference when all of the candidates are so wonderful. Fingers crossed for the RD round!!!

Did you apply for FA?: Yes, but did not meet deadlines so didnāt hear about it
Merit: 16k/ yr
Honestly I am somewhat disappointed as I thought I would get more merit, and possibly get into the Honors Program. Thankful to be accepted though, donāt get me wrong. Wasnāt huge on Northeastern when I visited, so I donāt think Iāll be attending due to that, as well as the merit piece not being nearly as large as other schools Iāve heard back from. I may give it a second look if the FA package comes back larger than expected, but was hoping for more merit. Good luck to everyone!
Decision: Daughter accepted into Honors Program! Sheās thrilled!

Lots of ECs including: Co-leader of Women in STEM program, NHS, member of audition honors choir, featured dancer/dance captain in spring musical, tutoring middle school students, worked 15 hours/wk throughout high school. Took Multivariable Calc at UHart in Fall 2019 (A- grade received) while taking full slate of high school classes. Strong commitment to STEM including attending week-long UConn engineering program over summer of Sophomore year. Showed high interest by touring NU, attending special Khoury College info session, emailed rep.
Congratulations to all accepted and good luck to those deferred (send in those LOCIs Iām sure they make a difference)! To those denied, donāt despair. My son was rejected from what he considered his first choice and is happy and thriving in his Junior Year at a great LAC in NY that he now considers the perfect choice. You can still have a really great college experience.
