sorry for typos, typed this in a hurry

@chris817 maybe they didn’t accept you because they knew based on your stats that you were an ivy league seeker and would turn down their school?

@readyforthenext4 personally i don’t feel like i am a solid candidate for ivy leagues but i did honestly believe that NE was a safety for me
should i be ready for waves of rejection letters lol?
all other schools that i applied to are considered “higher” in rank

I was rejected after being deferred with a 4.20 GPA on a 4.0 scale and 2120 SAT. A little shocked but congrats to those who were accepted!

@readyforthenext4 Some ivy caliber applicants are offered Scholars and attend, one was chosen as a Rhodes scholar last year.

@schroscat Same though… such a bad FA package haha

@ThatGirlCoder I DIDN’T EVEN GET ONE

nothing from florida yet. anyone who has heard can you please say what state you are from?
Congrats and good luck to all!

I heard NE received over 51,000 applications this year, so that is probably going to result in a way higher rate of selectivity!

@Chris817 bro u def were rejected because u were overqualified. They probably wanted to protect their yield. Anyways don’t get discouraged u should be able to get into better schools and I think u have a solid chance at ives GL

@schroscat Why not?? I mean my FA package was like “ok you only have to contribute 50% of your entire family’s income” erm

I am so sad! If I can’t get into northeastern I know I am not getting into other higher ranked schools
for sure!

@ThatGirlCoder They were like, “We need more docs.” I guess they didn’t believe that my mom’s income is literally 25-30k. MY MOM’S INCOME CAN’T EVEN PAY FOR HALF OF A YEAR’S TUITION!!

@TheRealTalq dude i appreciate it for real. I hope u do well on your college journey too lol. but oh well

Did anyone else get waitlisted?
I did in NY with 32 ACT and 3.8 gpa
I just see a lot of acceptances and rejections but not many waitlists.

@schroscat same family income here xD even lower actually. I guess people don’t lie when they say NEU has pretty bad FA

@ThatGirlCoder Did you get any scholarship? I literally got NONE and I’m a little upset. Guess my stats weren’t good enough, aha.

Got into the NUin program. Haha thought I was gonna get rejected because so many people more qualified than me were denied. SAT 2040 GPA 96 good luck to everyone and congrats!

@beylin31 Yeah I just got waitlisted in MA with a 2150 SAT and 4.2 GPA. Not sure what the stats are for waitlist :frowning:

How did you guys see your decisions? I checked my portal and I don’t see mine.
