Are they really going to release tomorrow with all eight Ivies + Duke, Vanderbilt, NYU, USC, UC Berkeley and possibly more?
Never mind about NYU
Tufts is tomorrow too! Packed.
@wanglou Yeah, thatâs 13 schools, all of which are probably more prestigious than Northeastern. Theyâll be an afterthought if they release tomorrow. Iâm guessing itâll be Friday.
Vanderbilt came out today I was just accepted a couple hours ago
@college1802 Congrats! I was just going by what this site says, which I guess is wrong
I think that maybe they will release tomorrow, but before the Ivy League schools, since neu has history of starting at 4pm est and then continuing in waves and ivies all come out at 7pm, correct?
hey! Iâm trying to major in the combined compsci and design major 
that would actually make a lot of sense, i hope they do that
you guys need to relax. I donât think Northeastern or another school cares that tomorrow is âivy dayâ. Schools donât have a monopoly on days of the week.
I know USC is set to release their decisions in waves beginning in the morning⊠if NEU releases tomorrow, could they possibly do the same?

The acceptance rate could even go slightly up. BU was 18% last year and went up to 19% this year. I would say in the 16-20% range for NEU.
awesome! did you get deferred from early action or are you a regular decision applicant?
Just wanted to give an NUin update, as an email was sent this evening.
Locations have been limited to Montreal, London, and Dublin. Admission portals for admitted NUin students now include a new form to re-select your location. Students who have already chosen one of the three locations, and wish to keep the same choice, will be accommodated. But, they must re-select by this Friday the 27th.
In the event that the current situation prohibits global travel, the students will participate in NUin Boston in the fall.
RD acceptance rate will greatly depend on how they run the NUin program this fall, under the COVID uncertainty. Very interesting to see what they plan to do.
Currently they still say the NUin program is a go. If COVID situation does not improve in Italy and Spain, two of the NUin locations, they will lose some NUin-accepted students not willing to commit before May 1 to a semester there by September, a few more students will come off waitlist, and acceptance rate nudges up.
They may tell NUin students theyâre starting in Boston, but in January. That might lose them a few accepted NUin students as above, and waitlist activity, acceptance rate both nudge up too. Not everyone likes to start the college career a semester later, although more colleges are doing that these days.
If they try to squeeze NUin students back into Boston campus by September, they will have to cut quite a few RD admit spots because they simply donât have room, and then RD 2020 acceptance rate will go quite a bit down.
@esdoc, they are guaranteeing NUin Boston for the fall if they cannot be accommodated globally. Donât forget, itâs not just NUin students. They also need to think of current students planning to study or co-op abroad. There is a lot that goes into this.
@CMH2024 you said âThe acceptance rate could even go slightly up. BU was 18% last year and went up to 19% this year. I would say in the 16-20% range for NEU.â In this link https://www.bu.edu/articles/2020/peek-at-class-2024-virtual-campus-tours/ it says 18.5% for this year. Virtually the same as last year.
Thanks for the update. I actually was writing my thoughts on potential scenarios as you posted yours so I didnât see their email info you listed.
So they are changing NUin locations, and may possibly go to the 3rd scenario I thought up where everyone starts in Boston in September. They may have to create some room for the âNUin in Bostonâ (not sure how thatâs different from every other student starting in September?), and that will likely cut into some RD slots.
Does anyone know how competitive the Deans Scholarship is? You have to be a top applicant right
