Official Class of 2020 Northeastern University Early Decion/Early Action Discussion

My son was accepted last year EA after initially being deferred. He had a different but I think similarly strong app
overall. I wish you luck and admire those that apply ED- knowing what you want!

@whatamom Did he end up going and if so, does he like it NEU?

@whatamom Thanks for the response. Just to clarify, he was deffered from EA to RD or ED to RD?

@whatamom Can I ask, when do the notifications for acceptance from deferral come in? Is it rolling or just at a certain date? THANKS.

If you are deferred your decision will be announced along with RD applicants in mid-March.

does anyone have a guess for when ED decisions will be posted

@nfhd11214367p0i last year I believe it was on December 8th. I’m guessing December 9th, but I hope it comes out sooner!

A bit random but would any of you be aprehensive about NU in with all of the recent terrorism and travel threats and such? Do you think it’s going to change people’s minds about doing NU in or just study abroad in general?

@senior16 I am not at that point. I did study in London in the 80’s when there were terrorist issues as well. However, that could change depending on how things go over the next couple of years. My husband and I both spent a year overseas and we’re hoping our son would do at least a semester and we assumed Europe. Time will tell I guess, but truthfully I know of a few friends with kids who are already in college who said they told them they can’t go to Europe so I know some people are already changing plans.

@seniorr16 I absolutely love traveling. Personally, I would still travel and do study abroad. But that’s just me :slight_smile:

@seniorr16 NUIn now has a location in Montreal, Canada in partnership with McGill University. Perhaps they added this location for students, and parents, who are hesitant to go overseas at 18.

when do y’all think early action decisions will be releaseddd??

Im thinking Tuesday the 15th, but I could be totally wrong.

^ or Thursday the 17th but no one knows for sure :stuck_out_tongue:

I JUST WENT THROUGH 77 PAGES OF LAST YEARS EA/ED CC DISCUSSION FOR NEU I’m literally psycho haha.

No you’re not. I’ve done that more then once lol @16sadeghik

@seniorr16 LOLLL Ok good to know :slight_smile: I’m so nervous. Hopefully ED decisions come out next week… I really just wanna know already

@16sadeghik did the same exact thing yesterday :slight_smile: you’re not alone!

@swaggiedog hahahaha yaaaay :slight_smile:

so should i just assume that the EA decisions will be released around a week after ED? by the way, i heard NEU has a very good admissions team that weeds out kids who have this school as a safety.
