<p>General Comments, scholarship chances, status info, going to NEU…?: NEU is definitely my first choice. I’m in the honors program with a $17K/yr scholarship. Hoping to qualify for a Trustee Scholarship. I was deferred last week, but evidently it was a mixup. An admissions counselor called me Friday to say my online status was wrong and told me everything. Just got my letter online today.</p>
<p>Question: I’m interested in the Music Industry Concentration. Is it difficult (or possible) to switch from CBA to study the music industry? I didn’t know about that option until I had submitted my app.</p>

<p>General Comments, scholarship chances, status info, going to NEU…?: I got into Honors and got the Deans Scholarship of 17,000. I am waiting to hear about getting full tuition through National Merit Finalist Scholarship at NEU. If I got that then I will probably be going there. I am very excited to be possibly attending Northeastern.</p>
<p>Question: I got into Northeastern for Journalism and also received a $15,000/year scholarship. I’m a NMSF, but the letter didn’t say anything about the full-ride scholarship that all finalists get. I also didn’t get into the honors program… is there a way I could still get in? I’ll still probably go there even if I don’t get into honors, but I was just wondering if there is still a chance?</p>
<p>From what I understand the full ride scholarship notices are sent out in April. We got our Honors College notification with our acceptance and scholarship letters.</p>
<p>Call them and ask them about the Honors College if you didn’t get notification and want to be sure.</p>
<p>It is certainly not all finalists who get a full-tuition. And you won’t even know about finalist for sure until the beginning of February through NMSC.</p>
<p>I spoke to the admissions rep last September and she said that all NMF receive free full-tuition and they will compete for the Trustee Scholarship which is full-ride, tuition + room/board.</p>
<p>However, Trustee Scholarship is for the top 1 to 2% of students and honors is for the top 10%. So if you are not in the honors program now, I am not sure what will the chances be for you to receive full-ride.</p>

I got $12,000 first semester, $6,000 every semester after that I’m not on coop. I am most likely attending, but still waiting to hear back on other schools.</p>
<p>I was just curious, for people who got accepted EA and are planning on attending the EA welcome day, is this something you should be/not be bringing a parent for?</p>
