My son considered ED for Northeastern. He really loves the school and city of Boston. They gave us a pre-read on financial aid in which COA came out to our EFC plus $14K (the CSS profile was not our friend) so he decided to take his chances with EA and hope the actual package is a bit more generous if he gets in. He went back & forth on submitting his 1450 SAT but ended up submitting and hoping for the best. He has strong EC’s and volunteer work and has a 4.0 unweighted GPA. He might get flat out rejected (not that we doubt his quality, but there are many incredible candidates who apply!) but are hopeful he will at least be deferred to regular admission in January. His main positives are his National Hispanic Merit Scholar recognition (they expressed their priority to increase diversity at the preview day) and the fact he has shown a lot of demonstrated interest (2 campus visits and some virtual sessions.) There is a Northeastern CC page for ED/EA discussions (link below) that I have found helpful. Good luck to your daughter!
