I saw that article and hope they follow up with one on those who choose to accept as well.

In our experience in this little corner of the world, there are TONS of kids at my daughter’s school who applied to Northeastern. Some were accepted and some were deferred. I haven’t heard of any who were flat out rejected, but since she is in honors and AP classes, those kids are not in her daily life anyway.

A few of them used Northeastern as a safety, but some are seriously considering it. And one thought he was using it as a safety but when he got the $20K scholarship, it became a little more like a Target school!

Interesting though that the ‘curve’ on the 2015 acceptance thread seemed to be mostly all ‘accepted’ or ‘deferred.’ I wonder what the rates of deferral and rejection were in the EA process.

Either way, it’s great for the school. We’re looking forward to sending her there!
