Official Class of 2020 Northeastern University Regular Decision Discussion

Anyone else get into the Honors College but receive no scholarship? This is really frustrating because I believe it is harder to get in to the Honors college than qualify for merit aid and there is no way my parents will pay the 55k+ a year. I really though Northeastern would have been more generous because it is a private school.

Deferred earlyaction/decition will find out at the same time as rd…likely at 3pm est today
The phone call described above is unusual…perhaps the admissions office was really invested in that particular candidate.

Decisions came out 3pm EST (New York) in 2015

Guys! I just got a call from a lady who said she worked at admissions and was on the committee that reviewed my application! She said decisions would be released today and that I would be receiving good news!!! I’m so thrilled

I think they called some people a few hours ahead of time for the EA round as well.

@violintigress she just called your phone out of nowhere? you must be a well qualified applicant, congrats. I’m jealous, didn’t receive any phone calls.

@followthelines was the call from an unknown number?

@violintigress good for you, friend! No need to see the decision anymore lol might as well send the deposit
Just a little surprised SHE called YOU first XD

Yes! I received a call from an unknown number in Boston massahusetts! She was so friendly!

@violintigress Congratulations! Are you in the East Coast? Is it afterschool for you already:?

@violintigress I’m in a 3 hour spanish class right now, we’re completely isolated from technology so even if they call I wouldn’t be able to check D:

Received a call a couple minutes ago saying I have good news lol

East and out of school

@Homsar Ayyyyeeee, weren’t you on Cornell ED? I remember you! :^)) @night3423 Congratulations!

If you didn’t get a call does that automatically mean you were denied…?

Didn’t receive any calls, located in Boston… hope this doesn’t mean I’m not getting in.

my mobile number has changed, probably gonna email them saying this is my new number if you wanna give me good news

@underdog2020 I wouldn’t suspect that. They probably called the top applicants in the RD pool

@night3423 Congrats… I envy you

@TalkTheTalk But the top RD applicants would’ve gotten accepted on Feb. 9th :((

Do you think that means I have any chance at merit aid?
