Northeastern University Transfer Fall 2019

No idea, but we all seem to have similar stats which is leaving me worried.

The application deadline isn’t until April 1st so we won’t be hearing back before then, but I think according to older forums they heard back around April 20th? I guess they release the acceptances in waves. I’m really scared because I have to submit a portfolio and I haven’t taken much related coursework while in college so mine isn’t the strongest…

Good luck everyone!!! I think @dogsrcool is right, last year’s thread they heard in waves (like end of April, early May, and a few early June IIRC)

Hey guys, I was accepted to Northeastern University in the spring and deferred my enrollment until the fall, so I will be attending in the fall. Good luck to everybody, you should all be hearing back in April!

What were your stats?

@financeguy29 :open_mouth: :smiley: Congrats!! btw do you know if NEU had any available transfer housing for the fall?

I applied as a finance major, and had very strong grades and relevant coursework in math.

Didn’t send in my SAT’s. My high school grades were less than stellar although I had a unique and rather difficult experience… This was reflected in my essays, which I believe were the best I’ve ever written. I had very thoughtful letters of rec from finance and math faculty. I was in the top 1% of the top 1% of students in math at my school.

I’m probably forgetting a few things. I took one semester off before applying because I didn’t like the school I was at but couldn’t have gone anywhere else when I left so I’ve been working, waiting to go back for the Fall.

@90smix Thanks so much! They didn’t offer me on-campus housing for the spring and unfortunately, no :confused: I will hear about on-campus housing for the fall once you guys get your admissions decisions. But if accepted you can always utilize the off-campus housing services, most likely what I’ll be doing. Rooting for you guys!!

Does anyone know the exact transfer acceptance rate? I’ve seen a wide range of percents on different websites. I’ve seen an acceptance around 34% and also 68% for my own personal stats.

@kbot9929 Here are the transfer stats from a website that is now password protected for the past few years. The transfer acceptance rate has fallen from 45% to 26%.

good luck everyone! I hope some of us hear back in April, but I think last year the majority heard in May and early June

any idea when decisions will be coming out? I applied to media and screen studies.

I’m pretty sure it’s anywhere between mid-April to early June

How long did it take to receive your portals? I applied over a week ago and have yet to receive any email from northeastern

@College838 It took several weeks.

@College838 I submitted my app February 1st and got my portal email February 5th

@TomSrOfBoston I had a minor grammatical error in one of my essays. Would it be wise to send the admissions office another draft, or should I just leave it be? Also, do you think that it would significantly hurt my chances?

@kbot9929 I would say no. Doubt if that would be a problem.

Do you think I should call if I haven’t received my login yet? I only applied the other day cause I was waiting on a recommendation letter but I want to make sure they’ve received everything okay…
