Post stats and questions or comments if you are applying early decision or early action to northeastern university
Hi! I’m applying EA to Northeastern! My app is all done, except neither my counselor nor my teacher has uploaded their letters of rec.
Northeastern is my third choice school at the moment. I toured over the summer and absolutely loved it. I’m looking forward to getting everything done!
I applied EA in August. They have received all my items except teacher recs. Does anyone know what date we will be notified this year?
Stats: 2/66 ranking
97.4 GPA UW
2200 SAT
VP of NHS, officer of 2 other clubs, have had 2 jobs throughout HS, 1 internship, community service
Good luck everyone!
Last year EA and ED decisions were released around December 15th.
At the moment I’m applying EA though I’m really considering ED as its my top choice! Would love to get accepted, but my high school as around 55 applicants every year and they only take about 20 of us. I’m also applying to a very competitive program (physical therapy) as is an amazing athlete at my school so I’m very nervous!! Best of luck to everyone!
The number of applicants from your high school is irrelevant. You will be evaluated on your stats and profile.
I forgot to mention that I’m applying for political science!
Sorry if this sounds like a stupid question, but can I send off the Common App before my teacher or counselor uploads their letter of rec? Or do I have to wait for them to do so before hitting upload?
You can send it off! @gonewiththeair
I’m applying ED and it’s basically the only school I want to go to. I’m just so nervous because my test scores aren’t up to par with the average of NU. Good luck to all!
seniorr16 im in the same boat but just took another SAT and am taking the next ACT for my early decision. For NU do you think that the mid 50% is lower like at BU (RD was 29-33 ACT and ED was 26-30 ACT) and NU’s is 31-34 ACT for RD
@pjohoo98 I’m not sure because this is only their second year doing early decision I don’t think they have stats for that yet. My superscore ACT is a 30. I’m also not apying for financial aid and I’m Hispanic. Hoping those two qualities help me out.
Im applying to NU early action because of their Music Industry degree! My test scores arent that amazing but I have a good GPA, I was wondering if anyone knows if theres a smaller pool of applicants for the music and arts degrees compared to the more liberal arts degrees? thanks!
@ptkid16 great, thank you!
I’m applying ED, and my stats are as followed:
GPA: 4.28/5
ACT: 30 (this was my September score, I’m hoping for a 32 in October)
Leadership: VP of International Thespian Society, Event Coordinator of Spanish Honor Society, Yearbook Editor
Other: externship experience at local hospital and HerCampus.com
Good luck to all!
Looking to apply EA also.
GPA: 4.3W, 3.72 UW
ACT: 33
Strong ECs but not spectacular
@ptkid16 Over 50 kids from my HS applied last year and only 5 got in lol. Northeastern seems extremely competitive now.
@mrpwnage I visited today and they gave their acceptance rate for 2015: 28%.
Just submitted my application! Just need to get teacher & counselor stuff in, and I need to send them my ACT scores. So nervous. Does anyone know when they send us Northeastern portal information?
About to submit my application. Applying ED with a 3.72 W, a 2070 SAT, and strong extracurriculars. Can’t wait for the middle of December.
how long does it take to get the email with my log in so I can see what my application is missing?
@nfhd11214367p0i i’d like to know that too! I applied a little under 12 hours ago and I haven’t gotten my log in info yet so it might be a while.
