Northeastern University Transfer Thread Fall 2017

Did anyone get into the college of arts and sciences?

has anyone heard back since the last wave?

If anyone needs the link to the group, PM me!

@Dontskipthemoose I also applied to and was accepted to BU and Emerson!

I really hope some of us hear back this Friday…though my applicant portal updated to say required documents were due May5th instead of April 15th so I highly doubt we will hear before then :frowning:

They said that decisions will be made by June 15th…Approximately when do you guys think we’ll hear from them? Final wave date estimates anyone?

@PixelTomato The first wave was on a Friday on April 21st, so I am guessing they will release waves of decisions every Friday with June 15th being like waitlist acceptances. Of course this is all just speculation. Good luck

@milklore where are you leaning towards?

The application status check website is down this morning. I just get an error when I try to access it.

@collegeseeker45 Mine is working

@collegeseeker45
Works for as well.

@TinaEng
I feel like they’ll have the next wave on the 5th as well. This would allow for 5 waves before the last day.

I hope some of us will hear back this Friday, but I doubt it.


Does anyone know when accepted/waitlisted (incoming) freshmen have to put their deposits down by? That would have an impact on transfer decisions as well.

@Dontskipthemoose At first Emerson, but Northeastern surprised me with a 10k scholarship so I’m really torn now. I’m still waiting on financial aid info though which will ultimately be the deciding factor.

Really frustrated with this whole process, but really holding on because NorthEastern is my Dream School!

I applied to four schools, and I haven’t heard back from any of them yet. I’m becoming a little inpatient.

where do i pay the housing deposit to secure housing on-campus?

Do you guys think the next wave will be this Friday or the next Friday? I know they’re usually two weeks apart so I’m assuming next Friday but they did have an earlier release than last year so who knows

@TinaEng
From what you said about your grades and personal essay, I’d tell you not to be worried. It’s probably something everyone’s been telling you, too, but it’s true.

The reason why it’s taking a while is because there’s a high retention rate at NEU. With that and the small class sizes, it’s hard to accept a lot of transfers.

If you’re applying as into the CCIS, there are a lot of applicants. There are a lot of people who change majors or drop out during the first two years in the CS department as well, so they’re probably waiting to figure out how many open slots they have. Keep in mind they also have to take into consideration all of the accepted freshmen as well.

The May 5th deadline update in the app check makes me believe it’ll be next week (or the following week). I’m keeping my fingers crossed and hope to be proven wrong.

Hey everyone,
I just wanted to ask, does the App Status Check page change when your application is complete and they have all your required documents?

(“Thank you for applying to Northeastern University. We are looking forward to reviewing your completed application. Please note the following information”)
I’m kind of worried that it might mean that I still have something missing.

Has anyone received financial aid info yet? I was told on Monday I’d probably hear within the week but still waiting

I received my financial aid info with my decision. @milklore
