What makes you expect a deferral honestly? Your stats seem to be on par with some of the acceptances that have already been seen.

Did ED decisions come out on Wednesday or Thursday? EA should be one week later right?

Applying for business with a 4.0 UW, 34 ACT, decent ECs/essays. Hoping for the best!

Reading through other people’s stats is a bit intimidating, and now I’m stuck with the fear that other applicants have better qualities than I do lol. Also I was told on my chances thread to expect a deferral.

I don’t think I’d count on much of anything during EA decisions at this point. So few people have shared their ED result that it’s hard to get a good idea of what’s within NEU’s range these days. I personally think that you probably have a good chance but obviously no one can say for sure.

ED decisions came out on Thursday night.

yeah the EA applicant pool is a much larger sample size so we can’t say anything

Ok. Congrats on your acceptance btw!

Since Northeastern is changing things up this year the EA decisions may come out Thursday, or they could come out Tuesday (or Wednesday?) In the past EA and RD decisions start to be released starting at 3 or 4 PM local time and take 4 or 5 hours to be completed. They are released geographically starting in Massachusetts and moving south then west. Decisions have never been released before 3 PM your local time.

For those of you wondering: In the application portal it says that EA applicants could expect acceptance to NEU Fall, acceptance to N.U In, deffered or rejected.

@TomSrOfBoston is being a legacy and a minority (latino from Puerto Rico) an advantage?

Being a URM is a hook at Northeastern as at virtually all colleges but the strength of that hook is not certain. Legacy is not a hook at Northeastern.

@MichaelA1327 congrats! Did you get honors or merit?

Can someone chance me?
