Decisions are ready!
So, I know I haven’t been great at posting these past few weeks…but it’s for a good reason. We received over 11,500 early action applications and the entire staff has been focused on evaluating each and every one. Today, I am happy to report that we are ready to release these decisions.
We release decisions electronically, through our Application Status Check system. We started at 3pm and are releasing based on geographic locations. If you applied early action, you will be receiving an email announcing that your decision was available and with instructions on how to view your official decision letter through the Application Status Check.
For early action, we release three types of decisions:
Deferral: The Admission Committee chose to defer candidates when we felt we needed additional time to review their applications within the regular decision pool. A deferral decision in no way reduces a candidate’s chances for admission. We encourage you to submit second quarter/mid-year grades, any recent standardized test results that we may not have received as well as any additional information about new academic or personal achievements. Your applications will be re-evaluated in the regular decision pool and a final decision released by March 31.
Denial:The Admission Committee did chose to deny a small number of applicants who we did not feel were a good academic or personal fit at Northeastern. While we regret disappointing you at this time of the year, we hope you will use this time to talk with your parents/guardians about your goals and explore your options. If Northeastern is still your dream school, please contact our admission staff for advice on our transfer process or other academic programs that may be a good fit for your goals.
Admission: Congratulations and welcome. Please log onto the myNEU Admitted Student Portal for more information about Northeastern and invitations to special events. If you were admitted into the Honors Program, that information will be in your decision letter. If you received a scholarship, you will receive a letter from Financial Aid in your Application Status Check.
If you have questions about your decision, our staff is ready to assist. You may contact your Admissions Representative by calling 617.373.2200. You may also contact Financial Aid at 617.373.3190.
Until next time, I hope you and your family have a wonderful holiday season!
