But writing section not really considered, they mostly look at math and reading sections.
i have a 2140 but a 1390 without writing do i have a shot
That’s a great score @elmstreetking
Northeastern is one of those schools that is really hard to figure out.
Yes. That’s what we’re reading based on last year.
Does anyone know when the deferred applicants will hear back? I have a deferral letter all ready to go right now - I just don’t want to send it until it’s close to decision making time.
@horchataman Deferral letter?
If you are deferred EA or ED you will not hear again until mid-March.
I’m now a bit nervous because I did not get a call. I was hoping for some scholarship money (2260 SAT 4.45 W GPA top 5% of class) but now I’m worried…can’t wait for these decisions! Good luck to all
I’ve never been this nervous in my life!!! Ugh can we just get this over with? Come on Tuesday
If you all want to burn some time while waiting for EA decisions, the subreddit for Northeastern is quite active.

I have applied EA to CoE for civil engg. I know my scores are well below average so do i really stand any chance?
@futurecivilguy14 - If all goes as expected, you will know tomorrow - that’s not too long to wait. In the meantime, relax; there’s nothing you can do at this point.
Have any accepted EA kids already received calls from professors congratulating them? I heard in the past that this was a thing.
EA acceptances have not been released yet. Some EA applicants have reported here receiving calls saying that they have a strong application and thanking them for applying.
@TomSrOfBoston Thank you, and I meant to phrase it as if anyone had received a call, given that results were not officially released, to let them know ahead of time that they had been accepted. Generally, how many kids will get this call?
All I know is from posts on this thread by several applicants. The caller did not say that they were accepted.
I noticed on the online application portal the option to upload documents is now “temporarily disabled”. I assume this means decisions ARE coming out soon? Hopefully tomorrow based on last year?
To all who are freaking out about the call, don’t worry. As I mentioned, they are probably picking a very very small handful in the “admit” pile. Not getting a call doesn’t mean you’re out.
That being said, I’m noticing a LOT of “I’m hoping for Scholars!”, and I just hope you all temper your expectations. It is an incredibly small program (about 200 are admitted, with ~100ish yield) of approx. 50,000 applicants… That’s about .4% chance. NU has a lot of high achieving applicants, and Scholars is awarded incredibly holistically-- not just in the context of “do they have more than strong test scores” but also “what does this person bring to the current class of Scholars that isn’t already represented?”. Good luck to all but keep in mind odds are absurdly small.
Are decisions coming out tomorrow at 7??? Someone please tell me
