What were your stats. I had a 1470 Sat with a 4.4 weighted GPA.
did most people who were accepted nuin, did you check the yes or no box on the common app for being interested in the program?
I would also like to hear what we as deferred students should do.

Congratulations so was mine. My older D is 3rd year biochem at NE. One of the BEST things about NE coop besides the experience, which is amazing, is you do not pay tuition when our student is on coop!
So my D could have finished school in 4 years w 2 coops which is really 3 year of PAID school tuition.
Her first coop was July through January at Takeda working in protein lab in Cambridge. She didnāt pay tuition but she was in an apartment w 3 girls. So she had that expense. She could have lived home w us as we live close to Cambridge as well. many kids on coop sublet or donāt take even housing or meals unless their coop is close to NE.
Because she is hoping for premed, and needs clinical hours- Covid is making that a challenge. So in the end she is opting for 5 years but will have 3 coops so she can leverage NE connections and get that experience while in school.
So if your student is on coop, that coop could be in any other state/not on campus. Itās up to them to interview and NE has this coop program that is like no other!! The experiences these kids have access to is what makes NE so amazing. Other kid struggle finding internships or find one or sometimes have no work experience when they graduate. These kids will have 2-3 6month jobs mostly all paid.
So kids can move around for those coops and then return to campus or stay on campus for coop. So your expenses during coop are usually housing and food.
My D made amazing money on her coop as well. Iāve seen range from unpaid -$30+ an hour depending on major; and hers was full time 40 hours a week.
I am sure the Univeristy has some financial models you can look at and more info on coop. Also canāt say enough about the parent page on FB. The support is amazing and parents help each other w all kinds of questions and support.
My son has 7 more schools to hear from and I hope he ends up at NE. He does love the school. I just Hope he sees the true value vs thinking perhaps he has to do something different. Good luck

My daughter received a grant which brought the cost down to within about $2k of what their NPC said our cost would be. Then she got a $10k/year scholarship, and the end result is $8k/year below our NPC amount.

I checked the ānoā box in CommonApp (I was curious so I verified it this morning lol). However, under the āactivitiesā section, it looks like I checked āAsiaā for the Study Abroad Location and āInternational Co-Opā for global opportunities. So perhaps they saw that I selected those options and decided to admit me into that program?

Decision: Accepted
SAT/ACT: 1430, could only do it once bc COVID
GPA: 3.88 unweighted, 5.52 weighted
State/Country: MD
Major: Political Science
Did you apply for FA?: Yes
Other: Took 5 APs (mostly 5s, one 4), taking 4 more this year. My ECs were fine- I did them for a long time and had a couple of leadership positions but they werenāt really related to my major. I showed some interest- talked with admissions office about a certain program, followed up to make sure my SAT was sent, went to events- and I think that helped me a lot. Tbh I was expecting a deferral or straight rejection but Iām super happy I got in, I really love Northeastern.
Decision: Accepted into N.U.in program!
SAT/ACT: got cancelled 2x, but I sent 3 AP scores (all 4ās on APUSH, Micro, Macro)
GPA: 3.75 UW, 4.89 W (6 APs, 5 Honors)
State: New Jersey
Major: Finance (considering switching though)
FA?: Yes (my scholarship info isnāt available yet though)
ECS: Two internships (one for business, one for political campaign), volunteering at hospital (also volunteered remotely, sent 100+ cards), marching band for 4 years, 4 honors societies, school spirit/mentoring/leadership/tutoring club for 3 years
Honors: AP Scholar with Honor, National Merit Commended Scholar, consistent honor roll student
I think what helped me most is that I went to a lot of virtual events and webinars. NEU really looks out for that. Congrats to everyone and best of luck to everyone in the regular pool!
