<p>xnamelessx… Did you check the links at the bottom of the page with your acceptance? There should be a link for your actual decision letter, financial aid, and a scholarship award if you got one. I didn’t think I got the scholarship either until two days later.</p>
<p>I got accepted on the 4th… which was very surprising as I thought they send out decisions in late March.</p>
<p>Also, what the hell is honors? Is it a lot of work?</p>
<p>Lastly, is it only people who applied for financial aid that get scholarships?</p>
<p>You can get merit scholarships without applying for financial aid - I did. </p>
<p>Honors is for the top 10% of applicants in each college. It looks good on things like co-op applications. You have to maintain a 3.4 gpa and do something like six seminar courses. You have to live in one of the four honors LLCs in international village if you do honors.</p>

<p>Does anyone know how much-on average- NEU ends up costing a year after taking the co-ops into consideration? You don’t pay tuition when you’re on co-op so I’m trying to figure out what the total cost would end up being… thanks!</p>
<p>Godot: </p>
<p>All I have there is the decision letter. :(</p>
<p>I’m sorry, xnamelessx! Did you say before that you are an international student? US schools give out a lot less aid, both merit and need-based, to international students, so it may not even have anything to do with your stats. I’m glad to see that you got in though!</p>
<p>Also… I’m part of the “Northeastern University 114th Entering Class” Facebook page and I’ve seen a lot of stuff about International Village. I’m going to enroll in the Honors Program, and it gives me four options (I think I’m going to do Inquiry, Advocacy, and the Social World (or something like that)). Does that mean that I live in International Village in that LLC? And are the Honors LLC super boring like at a lot of other schools? Or are they still fun?</p>
<p>So many people accepted into the honors program have this fear that it’s boring… but if all these same people are in the honors program together, then presumably they’re going to make it fun. Get what I’m saying? In my experience, honors students generally work hard and definitely play hard. The walls in IV are paper thin, and I promise there was always stuff going on at all hours of the weekends.</p>
<p>Well I’m American, but I live in Germany. So I’m like half’n’half. I think finaid-wise I count as American because I’m a citizen and my parents pay US taxes (IN ADDITION to German taxes.).</p>
<p>But it just occurred to me why I didn’t get a scholarship. I am gradutating late because I failed a year (something pretty common in Germany. The curriculum is brutal.). It wasn’t in my last 4 years of school so it isn’t on my transcript, but I had to mention it in the application. I was kind of hoping they would think “oh wow, she really learnt from her mistakes” and see the positive side, that I was able to go from failing school to being in the top 5 of my class without any kind of tutoring. But I guess they’re holding it against me instead :P</p>
<p>Just because you didn’t receive a scholarship doesn’t mean that they didn’t acknowledge that you’re a hard worker! You got in to Northeastern when a lot of people (nearly 40,000) didn’t! :)</p>
<p>^^yeah I know that, I was kind of exaggerating to make the point.</p>
<p>Found out I was accepted back on the 3rd to the business program. </p>
<p>SAT superscore: 1990 (610 math, 660 reading, 710 writing)
GPA: ??? (I’m from Canada… doing IB diploma. Don’t know how this converts to gpa. I Get IB 5’s and 6’s)</p>
<p>Good EC’s (hockey, soccer, saxophone, piano, motocross, car/motorcycle restoration, quite a few school clubs), recommendations, and essays. </p>
<p>No scholarship. </p>
<p>First US school I’ve heard back from, so that was pretty nice.</p>
<p>Hey Canadian 144- congratulations!</p>
<p>How did you find out? Does it show on the application status check area on NEU’s website?</p>
<p>Hmmmm… still waiting for my acceptance! Let me ask this question, for those accepted regular decision, how much before the decision did you get your FAFSA in? Thanks…</p>
<p>Just a few days earlier.</p>
<p>But it says somewhere on the Northeastern website that they don’t start downloading the finaid forms until the priority deadline. So I don’t think that was relevant at all. No one got any need-based aid awards yet, just merit based scholarships.</p>
<p>Hey answerseeker1,</p>
<p>They sent me an email saying that my application decision was available. There was a link that takes you to Application Status check, from there you just log on and it shows your decision, with the option to download a PDF of the actual acceptance letter.</p>
<p>Joseph… I hadn’t even sent in my FAFSA or CSS before I received my admission decision.</p>
<p>Regarding my earlier post, I did actually a scholarship; I just hadn’t read the letter properly…</p>
<p>Hey guys, </p>
<p>I got accepted like a week ago. Now how do I officially state that I want to go to NU? Do I just pay the housing and tuition deposit?</p>
