Have they ever released decisions as late as the 14th?

Ok Iāll stop hitting refresh now itās been over an hour. When we do finally hear from NEU and people start posting acceptances, please include the stats (gpa, Sat/Act, etc). Itās not helpful to see someone got in without more info.

No. latest i have seen is the 11th. But the calendar this year is weird. It is not the same as previous years. Only problem is if they dont release them tomorrow night it wont be till next week because they do will not send them back on the weekend most likely.
Oh yep I was wrong about that thank you

NEU provides incredible co-op opportunities for every major, not just computer science and business. Great research, medical, political science, architecture, design, math, art and music industry etc. That is what makes NU stand out in this area and why it is always ranked #1 in national polls for this. Every student is encouraged and supported to do at least one if not 2 or 3 coops, plus other experiential learning classes, travel and research ā not just the highest achievers or the most outgoing students.

I am an alum and Husky parent. I think NU offers remarkable hands-on learning and study abroad experiences. My co-ops included working for a federal appellate judge, the Department of Justice in D. C. and the Alaska Dept. Of Law. My sonās abroad experience in Africa included meeting and presenting to government ministers and UN officials and learning to speak Kinyarwanda and his co-ops have helped him figure out his future career interests. I know a May summa cum laude graduate from a prestigious liberal arts college who has not found a job. NUās experiences help build impressive resumes and many co-ops lead to job offers.
I think that thereās no college that is the right fit for everyone, but NUās experiences that prepare students for their post-college careers and lives are incredibly valuable.

NEU is a good school but I have a poor view of them relative to their peers only because of the admission games they play. If they didnāt, I think fewer people would view them poorly or negatively.
They have a lot going in their favor. They should just play it straight - and they would win even more fans.

Do you mind sharing more on the games you are referring to please
Donāt want to detract from the main thread here so Iāll keep it brief. Feel free to PM me.
My daughter applied EA, was deferred, then got an email from admissions the next day telling her to switch to ED2 which she didnāt want to do. Then the regional AO called her schoolās GC the following week telling her that if (the 4 deferred kids) were willing to commit theyād be admitted. GC passed along the message - my D was pretty put off by then and withdrew her app.
Thatās why I call this behavior āgamesā. If you want to admit, admit. If you want to defer to RD and reconsider, do that. If you only want kids who commit in the early round, donāt offer EA. Etc.
Another friend had a different story about his daughter being coaxed to start in California.

Oh not this again. They didnāt āgameā the system. They played the game. Want 4-year graduation rates? Ok, make it fewer co- ops then. Want to move up in the rankings? Lower your class sizes. None of this is nefarious and I am so tired of that narrative

Umm 
I didnāt say any of that.
Looks like true. Our school counsellor did mention that most EAs are deferred to RDs. So letās see. Thanks
No you just said āadmission games.ā There was a much repeated article from a few years ago about āgamingā the system and there has been lot of CC chatter about it.
My S was deferred EA and admitted RD. No games. Your mileage may vary. Last year was brutal for NU admissions from our high school due to their need to reduce the class size. We had exceptional students who would have been admitted in other years who were denied.

Iām aware of that article and that there are strong opinions on both sides. But you canāt pin that on me. I was only speaking of our personal experience with NEU. If you donāt think what I described is questionable practice thatās fine. I am not going to debate.
