Official Class of 2020 Northeastern University Regular Decision Discussion

Accepted Bio. 2230 SAT, 4.0 UW.
I don’t think I got the NU.in program though. Where can you see?

To those accepted- did you receive packets in the mail today? how do we know if we got honors

If you got NU.in you’ll know. It’s right in the acceptance page in the picture and the header.

@Rarcher I know it can seem that way, but my friend was placed in a vacant spot in a 6-person freshman suite next door to me, so she does live with freshman and I know several of her NUin friends do, too. As to the friend aspect, she had a tight-knit group of friends that carried over from NUin and they hang out all the time here. Does it maybe make you a bit less inclined to make friends with people who were on campus in the fall, maybe, but it doesn’t put you at a total loss of friends either. The program isn’t for everyone, and that’s to be expected, but don’t discount it just yet because it really offers an amazing and unique experience. :slight_smile:

Are honors scholarships? If so you should be able to click the scholarship and financial aid links on the left

Accepted via N.U In program! Was super shocked, expected a rejection.
GPA: 3.7 UW (only like top 1/3rd of class)
ACT: 29
Played a lot of sports throughout highschool, was in NHS, student council, not head of any clubs or anything like that
Thought my essay was mediocre at best, had good recs I think, though.
Anything can happen!

Regarding theNU in program do you actually take the prerequisites for your major in the fall? My son has applied to ME will he be with other engineers?

S waitlisted after being deferred EA. 3.5 UW, 4.3 W, 2340 SAT, NMSF.

Waitlisted with 2350+ SAT, 4.1 GPA, NMF. Bunch of kids at my school got in that aren’t as qualified, so they’re definitely playing the field again to try and see who they think has the best chance of attending.

Waitlisted… Kinda shocked though considering I’m applying to higher caliber schools.
2140 SAT (CR: 650, M: 720, W: 770 Essay: 11)
780 - Bio (Molecular) and 790 - Math II
3.9 UW / 4.20 W (4.0 scale) - Hardest courses possible taken at my school and have received only 3 B+s and the rest As (total of 9 AP classes)
Won state business competitions
Several leadership positions in various clubs
Majority of the honor societies
Varsity tennis for 4 years

Sorry I left it vague, but you get the point. I don’t know why I got waitlisted when I know people with weaker ECs and GPAs in my school got accepted.

Accepted after EA deferral. 4.0 uw, 32 ACT, minimal ECs beyond working. Female, Hawaii, Mechanical Engineering. The best part, a financial aid package that will make attending possible. I haven’t seen my daughter this happy since the start of the college application process, which makes this mom want to give Northeastern a big ol’ hug.

Accepted for NU.in from California, 3.56 UW GPA 2060 SAT communication major. i was deferred from early action, now accepted to NUin

Waitlisted !! 1940 SAT, 4.6 W, everything else was pretty average

Kinda disappointed but also kinda not? Better than being flat-out rejected I guess ¯_(ツ)_/

@Rarcher My son did NU in Australia in the fall of 2015 and it was an amazing experience. He is a health science major in Bouve and took all of the science classes he would have taken in Boston. He also made such an amazing group of friends and feels like he didn’t miss anything the first semester in Boston. They are a very close knit group and there is a lot of support from the school. I suggest you go to admitted students day to learn more about it. My husband especially was not thrilled about it at first and now says what a great experience it was for him. Good luck!

Do they actually reject a lot of people because they’re afraid they wouldn’t go? I was rejected, but I highly doubt that was the reason since plenty of people with higher stats/overall more impressive resumes, who will likely end up being accepted to and attending more prestigious schools, were accepted. But I feel like my stats and ECs were both strong enough for me to be accepted… If they did reject me because they though I wouldn’t attend, ironically, I would have gone there if they gave me at least some money since I already have a good offer from RPI

Accepted :smiley: !!! Really surprised since my stats aren’t as good as others… IB Diploma student with 35/42 predicted (so approx. 3.7 or 3.8ish GPA??). 29 ACT. Good luck everyone else!

@TheSardine Ayyyy! KY represent! (my username is a misnomer haha)

They track demonstrated interest. Can folks who were rejected or wait listed include that info?

Are any other admitted students having trouble making their NEU account?

@suzyQ7 Oh, I didn’t even know they did that! I didn’t show any interest and got waitlisted. My very brief and vague stats and ECs are my previous post on this thread (it’s not too far back).
