<p>How do you know if you got accepted into the Honors Program? Were you supposed to say you wanted to apply there on the supplement or something? Because I don’t remember it…</p>
<p>No, at Northeastern everyone is automatically considered for it. There’s no box to check or essay or anything. They sent out acceptances to Honors admits a few weeks ago, and I had a hunch those would be the only ones. I guess I was right, unfortunately. Honors would have definitely boosted Northeastern on my list.</p>
<p>Where does it say about how much scholarships/ financial aid you recieved?</p>
<p>So no one hearing today was accepted into the honors program? 
Well I guess it’s alright because Northeastern gave me a lot of money.</p>
<p>This might be a silly question, but is it possible that I got the Dean’s Scholarship but didn’t get into the Honors Program? Am I missing something! Confusion!</p>
<p>@Geltzisboss - yes. I received an 18k Dean’s Scholarship with no Honors Program</p>

[ b]General Comments:** I was really not expecting an acceptance! I am very excited because a major factor in my decision for where I want to attend college is location- and Boston is my ideal location. Now is Northeastern my ideal university? I will be flying up soon to find out. I have yet to seen the campus unfortunately. I am very happy that I was admitted to the NU in program because I always planned on doing study abroad and this way I can get my general ed’s out of the way while immersed in a fascinating and vibrant culture! Congratulatious to everyone else who was accepted!</p>
<p>Ofcourse I am the only one who screws up the font haha my apologies!</p>
