CSS not required for merit.

Not overqualified. Look at his screen name. He was likely using Northeastern as a safety and the adcoms detected that.

@PengsPhils can give you an insider opinion.

Anyone know if its possible to switch from business to civil engineer major before starting in Fall 2021? and also how good is their civil engineering program.

Thank you I guess I have a lot to think about

Got into NUin (after indicating I did not want to be considered for that program)
35 ACT, 4.2 GPA - from MA and got Dean’s scholarship for $14,000

I’ve been reading a lot overnight about why some people seem to get NUin and about the program in general. It got a bit of a shake up this past year as they have an NUin option Boston (but you are not on campus and are not taking “regular freshman” classes - but CAN come on campus and eat there and go to library and rec center, etc.).
There is a lot a speculation why people get offered NUin - and it appears one big reason is the applicants ability to pay for it. You can’t use aid or merit for it so it’s a full price (even more!) semester and you are a class or two behind starting your spring semester on campus.
NUin students are given the spots vacated by upperclass students that are going on internships so you aren’t in freshman dorms when you come back so meeting people can be difficult. Anyhow - lots of good things about it too…just tough to think about not starting school in a traditional freshman manner…

Not necessarily if you select the recommended courses while doing the NU In semester.

Congratulations to everyone who got accepted. My son also did not receive admission. Still waiting for more decisions but he has some great choices already…GA Tech, UGA, William and Mary.

So you can’t apply merit aid to NUin?

D21 accepted to NUIN with scholarship (10k per year)
Her letter said she can go to Greece, Ireland, Italy or England

Does anyone know if students at NU admitted to College of Social Sciences & Humanities can take classes at other colleges? D wants to major in something humanities but also follow the premed track and would need to meet those requirements by taking classes at the College of Sciences.

No, you can’t use your merit aid until you are taking classes back at Boston
