No, if offered regular admission you cannot do NUIn. Northeaster has a very broad range f international study option available, most notably the Dialogues of Civilization program that you can do as early as Summer I after freshman year:
http://www.northeastern.edu/geo/dialogue
NUIn is a great way to rip off the band aid and embrace what awaits you at Northeastern sooner, rather than later. School at Northeastern might mean a co op in Mississippi and you are from Chicago. Or you stay in Boston for co op and meanwhile most of your friends still have classes because they are on a different co op cycle so you have to find new friends that have more time to go out and play with you who don’t have homework. Or you do a summer 1 after freshman year in Ireland or Turkey or wherever… and none of it is unusual. It’s the culture. People will come and go from your life at Northeastern and friends can be made in any one or all of these experiences.
Full disclosure… the whole NUin thing would have scared the pants off of me if I were a senior in HS too. I wasn’t that confident nor cool. But it’s pretty great for the right student and I knew my son was somebody who could benefit from it so yeah… I did the happy dance when he decided he wanted to apply and again when he got in and again when he chose to attend. Not about school loyalty. Entirely about getting what he was picking and the fit. I hope those of you who have decided to ED get it. 
^^wording bad above in the 2nd paragraph and I can’t fix it now. My son was not accepted through NUIn so I can’t speak to it. He was a regular EA fall admit.
I meant to imply that overall, Northeastern has comings and goings that make it different than the typical college experience and NUIn is just another branch of that.
I urge applicants to browse through the Experiential Learning website if you have not already done so.

One issue with NUin: expensive and no FA for it. If you want the experience, then regular fall admit, and use of study abroad (or coop abroad) may be better anyway.

@gxssipgirl Seems like you have a really good shot. If you did mess up your GPA early on but are in the top of your class now that’s good–colleges like to see improvement! It shows that you sort of “got your act together” and persevered. Your extracurriculars are impressive too and you have a good ACT score to back you up. I envy you lol 
Are there any ED applicants who took the October ACT here? There was no notification that ED scores had to be in by November 20th, so is the October test no longer considered?
The notification is on the admissions website in red:
http://www.northeastern.edu/admissions/
I know, but ED applicants were never notified of this deadline. At my NU visits I was always told that my October ACT scores would still be considered as long as materials were in by December 1st.

Recommendations/Essay
Counselor: I hope it’s good
Teachers (1): A physics teacher who I’m good friends with wrote it for me, and I think it’ll turn out well. I’m a little worried potentially because he’s a new teacher and he made a lot of jokes about his grammar during his class (why he became a physics teacher and not an English teacher).
My essay is extremely memorable and I think that it is well worded and written. I at least know the grammar is perfect (I ran it by all of my English teachers I’ve ever had).

My dad’s a professor - I hope that doesn’t mean they stick me with the NU.in program because they’ll assume that I’ll attend due to tuition benefits. I assume that this helps, but I don’t know how much it will.
Do you think I’m a strong applicant regardless of my father being a professor at the university?
I applied to Villanova, UMass Amherst, Providence College, and Colorado Mines as fit/reach schools and Wentworth and Drexel as backups at the same time. I’d be happy at any of these colleges except for Wentworth (don’t know why I applied tbh).
