Northeastern is my safety school and my enrollment depends on my acceptance/rejection from NYU!</p>

22

<p>I got accepted by Northeastern and they invited me in honors program. But they have not stated anything about financial aid…So what can I do now?..Any suggestions…</p>

23

<p>I haven’t received a decision yet…I guess they’re not finished reviewing my application? I applied close to the deadline.</p>

<p>I thought everyone who is in honors got at least a Dean’s Scholarship ($16k year), so you might want to call NU and ask someone at admissions of fin aid.</p>

<p>Hi, is there a facebook group for NEU’s class of 2016?</p>

28

<p>I don’t get how these students are considered “the top 10%” of applicants. One student here was accepted with an <1800 on the SAT, pending he/she was being truthful. Not everything is about numbers, of course, but how could someone with that score be considered “the top 10%?” I never thought ECs went so far.</p>

29

<p>SAT scores are not looked at or considered for international applications. Thats how someone with such a low score could be considered in the top 10%</p>

30

<p>Ah, I see. Thanks, swimchris.</p>

31

<p>Has Anyone Regular Decison, non-honors, domestic been accepted yet? Or does anyone know the tentative date of them posting admissons decisons?</p>

32

<p>I applied regular decision and have been awaiting a decision. I imagine they will be posted sometime in the last two weeks of March. I hope they don’t keep us waiting until April.</p>

33

<p>last year’s decisions came out on march 15th so i think itll be around the 15th. But i hope they come out sooner!! im dying of anxiety!</p>

34

<p>My D was given honors she did not apply for it.</p>

35

<p>Applicants dont apply for honors they are selected by admission officers based on applicants’ academic + extracurricular status</p>

36

<p>Do any of you think we may find out today??</p>

37

<p>When is the regular decision date? Anyone know?</p>

38

<p>Yeah, does anyone have any insight as to when the decisions are sent out? The wait is absolutely unbearable!</p>

39

<p>It’s annoying that they’re not even telling us when they’re giving it to us i just wanna kno when</p>

40

<p>Let me know when you guys hear and I’ll do the same. I still need to hear back from 8 schools. I hope they all don’t actually take until April. That wait would be excruciatingly painful.</p>
