I personally think scores, or lack thereof, will be more of a factor in the EA and RD pools where there are tens of thousands of applicants and it adds one more factor to help them distinguish the applicant from the masses. In the ED round, they want to find applicants to accept this year and they made it clear that the commitment to Northeastern means a lot to them. My son tested last fall before the pandemic so he was able to submit scores, and I certainly hope it helps him, but I honestly donāt think in the ED round your daughter will be penalized unless the rest of her profile isnāt strong enough on its own. Good luck! Iām anxiously counting down the minutes with you!
Could someone please tell me if thereās scores have or have not changed? Itās stressing me that I am the only one 
. Thank You.
Hey! Just noticed that in the last few days 4 new documents have been added to my requested documents for financial aid. Has anyone else experienced this? Also i noticed someone mentioned that their dates changed, I also experienced this.
Yes! Documents have been added to mine as well. It happened twice and last time it just disappearedā¦ Iām thinking about giving the financial aid services a call to figure what the issue is.
Also, I donāt know what the date means. Iāve heard rumors that it means they are done making our decision. But Iām only an applicant so I really have no way of knowing. Good luck to you all!!! And donāt be discouraged if your date hasnāt changed. They have a lot of applications to get through so maybe they havenāt reached yours yet. Letās not worry until we have to! Itās almost here!!!

Hi! Donāt worry about your dates not changing. Iām sure it just means that havenāt made your decision. Last year I was watching the decisions come out and people who never had a date change did get in. You have nothing to worry about! Good luck!

When do you guys think admissions decisions will come out? Iāve been literally checking the portal every five seconds Iām so nervousā¦
Based on past years, Iām anticipating the 9th at 7PM EST, which is just over 48 hours from now. Yikes
Jeezā¦ Do you know anything about the defferal rate? If we are expecting a 40-45% acceptance rate, how many you think would get deffered?
My guess is as good as yours. I would figure probably a bit higher than previous years, but I honestly donāt know. Boston college had about a 41% admit rate and 30% defer rate for ED1 this year.
Check your NW portal, it should say anticipation December 18th.
mine says the 15th
