I got into the same program with university honors scholarship. Is dean’s scholarship more money? It is still very expensive for me. I am trying to see if it’s worth the cost of the school. Please give me your thoughts.
thanks! yeah, it definitely made Fordham my top choice, and especially now that I got deferred from northeastern.
He was saying the fordham honors program, I got into the Lincoln centre one which is 18-20 people from the entire freshman student body
My Daughter got admitted to NUIN; Bioengineering
3.9uw/4.13 W
32 ACT
10 APs + Honours
Good ECs
She has been offered approx $2k in FA.
Do you know if we can request more? do they typically entertain such requests?
We are keen on NU, it has been one of her top choices…trying to see if we can get her in without busting our back
It could be called the same scholarship but they will give everyone different money. It really depends on the person on how much they get for each scholarship. I got the same scholarship but didn’t get much either but the money given really depends and changes. I agree, I didn’t get enough money to cover the extreme tuition of the school.

I didn’t end up with any merit scholarships but received a FA grant… it’s still really expensive though 
Does anyone know how they feel about appealing for additional aid?

can any admitted student answer my question. On your checklist, does it say your myNortheastern profile has already been created when you haven’t even done anything regarding it yet?
yes

I had a 1560 sat, 4.56 weighted GPA
Is getting accepted into NU in essentially better or worse than just getting in? Or neither?
My D says that and she didn’t create one.

I’m a parent of a 2nd year who did NU.in and one that just got in as well. I think the perception is that if a student gets into NU.in that there must be a stat that’s deficient (test score or GPA.) I think that can be true, but is not always true. There can be other factors why a candidate is offered NU.in.
For instance, I think if you’re not requesting financial aid and expressed interest in NU.in that there is a higher likelihood that you will placed into that program regardless of stats. From a University standpoint it makes a lot of sense to do so.
A number of students on this board were placed into NU.in yet received a merit scholarship, as my son did, which I think validates that NU.in is not just filled with marginal candidates.
On a separate note, my son loved his NU.in experience and wouldn’t trade it in for anything. He made a strong group of friends and started his first COOP this term (as did his core group of friends from NU.in), which he attained within a few weeks of interviewing. I mention this to debunk any notion that students are behind in any way if they take the NU.in path.

Thank you so much for your thoughtful reply!
I was accepted to NUin for Environmental Engineering, and I’ve heard that for STEM majors, studying abroad in your first semester is not always the best choice. Did either of your sons by any chance do engineering, and know anything about how this would affect my experience?
Thanks again for your help.

Congrats to everyone who did get in and good luck to all deferred.
