Northeastern University 2021 RD

Good eve. Email today 4p EST. Engineering. Denied. Denial stings a bit yet know that it isn’t anything but their best look at fit and enrollment. My stats all 99th percentile and I love the design and engineering at NE so hard to let go yet let go I must…they were on my “sweet spot” list with a little less Campus Life, Arts and Humanities yet really strong international and investing in design field and data sciences alongside engineering, I was honest about performing and studio arts, science, and engineering combinations I like; either the fit is there or not. Congratulations to everyone admitted or otherwise. Stay strong.

yeah. it just means that you want to be on the waitlist. not a binding agreement or anything

How many students get placed on the waitlist out of the 75,000 applicants?

does anyone know how many students they accept out of the 75K applicant pool? i’m trying to calculate if the acceptance rate changed this year

I think it’s only bad if you don’t want to spend a year in London. Last year my son was accepted by BU to a program he didn’t apply to (College of General Studies) that started in January with a summer in London. He wanted to start in September so chose NU. I did a study abroad program in London and it was a great experience.

Is northeastern known for taking kids from the waitlist or is this rare? Congrats to all those who got in!

Congratulations to the NUE Class 2025.
All the best!

Could NEU accidentally accept a student? I got into NEU, but I can’t believe I made it in! Could they have made a mistake?

Haha no but nice job!!

How do you check which NUin location is available to go ?
We have London/Italy/Greece/Ireland not sure which one is available ?

so, you are really telling the truth!! They didn’t make no mistake

if they do, they have to honor their offer. j/k
