I posted about this in another thread but just wondering if anybody else had this experience. Son accepted early round of regular decision, Feb. 10; offered $30k/yr scholarship, but not invited to Honors college. He was excited by his acceptance but disappointed but Northeastern remained high on his list. Finally Whittled his choices from 10 to 2 and finally made the deposit to Northeastern on Tuesday the 28th. Last night he will filling out the housing/roommate survey
and it ask a question about honors housing. We knew he wasn’t in it but it was a required field so he responded and submitted the form. Then we noticed another link asking him to accept his offer to be in honors. We kept thinking there was a mistake. But he clicked it . Then he went back into his portal where his original acceptance, scholarship and financial aid announcements were and sure enough there was a new tab with a letter dated April 28 inviting him to honors college. Very pleasantly surprised. Seems highly unusual to get such an invitation at this point in the game but he is very excited. We are wondering if anybody else’s had this experience?
