Based on the last couple of years, RD decisions begin to trickle out around February 10th. Those receiving Scholars and major merit aid come out in February.
The bulk of RD decisions come out the same day in mid-March.
Or Northeastern could do it differently this year!
Expect them to start coming on the 9th actually, Tuesday night is when EA and ED came out back in December (and the 10th was Tuesday in 2015). I hope I hear as soon as possible
Did anyone else get an email from the director of undergrad admissions that looked like a likely letter? Its basically a match school for me stats wise, and my ECs and essay were really good. It looked a bit formulaic, but I haven’t heard of anyone else getting one. Please let me know if anyone else has!!
@TomSrOfBoston It seems like kids getting decisions now (Feb) does not include students who were EA - and deferred to RD. I think I’ve only seen true RD applicants. Has it been like this in the past - meaning if you are deferred to RD, you likely won’t find out until March?
@TomSrOfBoston It feels like applying EA doesn’t give the student much of an edge, only the university. EA seems more competitive than RD. Are there stats on that?
My D got a great financial aid offer EA, including the Dean’s Scholarship- but just found out is NMF, and I know Northeastern gives a larger scholarship for that. Is that only if you do the first choice designation by their deadline?
In reading some other posts, I see that her Dean’s amount was comparatively low- 13K per year. But with everything else they offered our EFC would be about 17K. Trying to figure out what it would be if she got the NMF instead.
