Daughter was deferred EA, accepted to N.U. in program with Connections scholarship $12K/yr (from the Engineering dept?). She is EE. How do we know which program/city she’s going to?
Ok I see she has the choice of Boston, Ireland, or Greece.
She’s Oregon, I think she applied T/O but she has a 34 ACT from early Junior year, 4.0 unweighted, 8-10 APs, lots of volunteering, a few clubs. Oregon shut down quickly and strictly during covid so she hasn’t had the chance to participate in a whole lot.
Got accepted in NE Bound London. I think if I didn’t get accepted into American University I would accept that. London is my favorite city and I’m majoring in International Relations. But with the current issues, I’ll take DC.
I got into NEU with a 100k scholarship! did not expect this. how does it compare to the dean’s scholarship?
It should be on your portal. We didn’t submit anything other than FAFSA and yet our scholarship was there but financial aid isn’t updated
That would be $25,000/year I assume. what is the name of the scholarship they gave you?
it’s just called the honors scholarship. it’s part of getting into the honors college
Northeastern requires the CSS for need based aid. You will need to submit it.

Did your decision come out? Crossing my fingers for you, friend!
deferred EA; accepted NUin RD (and a dean’s scholarship - total 64k)
major: pharmaceutical sciences
At $25,000/year that is similar to the Dean’s Scholarship. In the past there were other perks like a grant for study abroad.
Will they accept the CSS form I didn’t submit (I thought it was)? Will I still be eligible for FA/scholarships if I get it in ASAP?
It was in the Waitlist letter he received today
Yeah I was accepted into the program too. I am really confused to be honest. I’ve never heard of it and neither had anyone I asked.
Accepted for Civil Engineering and Architectural Studies!
Pretty sure it will be accepted but it will take a while to get the result if eligible. Call tomorrow to verify.
Thank you so much!! The federal tax returns with the schedule are so confusing. I had the original one submitted but not the one with a schedule. I had to submit two CSS’s because my parents are divorced and it’s so hard to keep track of 
how tf are we supposed to convey how ‘interesting’ we are with NO SUPPLEMENTALS.

does anyone know why I was accepted into the N.U.in program when I said I preferred not to be in it. My stats are pretty good, do you think they didn’t have enough room in the regular acceptance
SAT: 1500
GPA: 3.8 uw 4.5 w

They need lower numbers on campus in the fall due to covid so they have students that they want but can’t have everyone on campus in fall.

Can we appeal decisions? Does NEU allow that?

It happens. Hard to say why. I believe that NUin encompasses students from every school. Then, these students transition back into their programs on campus while other students from their programs go out on co-op. A lot of moving pieces as students at Northeastern are always flowing on and off campus.

Seems like they didn’t have room in their accepted pool, so they offered you NUin because you are highly qualified. It happens. Worst case, you turn it down, and they offer someone else your spot.

And it doesn’t mean you’re less qualified. They still want you but they split how many got to go on campus in fall. It will be no different than if you didn’t do NU in you just do one semester in a different place.

There’s nothing wrong w/ NUin program. You can stay in Boston if you don’t want to study abroad (they give us the option now).

Probably not. I wouldn’t recommend. You’ll end up somewhere you love and it might hurt rn but you’ll look back and love where you end up.

@guncleandpa 3500 or so 1st year enrollees. 2800 is a little low. they probably accepted 15,000 or so including ED and EA.

So the freshmen class is separate from the main freshmen class, in that there would be approximately 3,700 students accepted in total out of this year’s 75,000?

Apply ED! Seriously, Northeastern decided years ago to get rid of supplementals in order to boost the number of apps and reduce the acceptance rate, and it worked like a charm. It gets thousands and thousands of “what the heck” applications every cycle. I guess there is some method that admissions applies in deciding who gets in and who does not, but to an outsider, it looks an awful lot like crap shoot. Bottom line, I don’t care what kind of stats you have, nobody who applies to Northeastern RD should be surprised if they get dinged.
Yes, we know but we aren’t submitting it. I was replying to the other poster 
Are the merit scholarship in the letter ?
How do we signup for the myNu portal any idea ?
