could also be a type of yield protection with those stats
My daughter is accepted in Nuin program for Computer Eng. It only listed locations where she can go to in her portal but didn’t say if she studies abroad for 1 year then able to transfer to Boston? Oakland? Can she transfer or does she stay in the chosen location to finish the degree? Where do I find that information?
Please read the website, especially the FAQ’s, that describes NU In
What Is N.U.in? - Northeastern - The N.U.in Program
The Fall semester is spent at the overseas location. She would then come to Boston in January for Spring semester.
For future generations - kid was not able to login - “no email found”, but was accepted (deferred from EA → accepted RD, first year in Oakland)
Thanks found it.

Next question, is there a difference between going to Northeastern University vs NUIN? Are the students considered as a Northeastern graduate? This just makes me confused, I just want to know what we’re getting 
They are only abroad for 1 semester and start in Boston in January. Several schools D25 applied to have this option, though this is the only one that I know of that your acceptance requires it.
I was trying to figure out the number of kids who participate - according to the common data set - the current freshman class who started in Boston was 2700, but their total undergraduate population was 22,500 and their graduating class was 4800. I know there are transfer students - but that is a 2000 student difference. That’s why so many seem to get into NUin.

“By admitting students to other campuses, Northeastern is able to enroll more students who can then come to Boston their second semester. For the class of 2028, there were 2,759 first-year undergraduates admitted to the Boston campus, 635 in London, 460 students enrolled in Oakland, 703 students enrolled as Global Scholars and 1,537 students in the N.U.in program.”

Does anyone know if NE ever offers more merit/aid closer to May 1st?
From my understanding, from my limited research into the option, since my D24 was accepted into NUin , it is another method used by NEU to admit students into the school. They go to an international location for one semester before coming back for the second semester at the Boston campus. Location dependent upon major and space availability (I believe it’s first come first serve?). But these students are considered NEU students. However, NUin offers/acceptances are not counted in the school’s acceptance data thus your student would not be considered part of the <6% acceptance rate. Not sure how it affects yield if your student decides to attend.
By the way, I have heard some good things about the program and it sounds like many people do enjoy the one semester abroad. The students are able to make friends with their cohorts and bring those relationships back with them to Boston. Moreover, considering the four/five year schedule of the students at NEU, with students being away one semester, at Boston another, co-op the next, or study abroad another semester, I would presume that being away for the first semester is pretty par for the course.
That being said, NUin was not what my D24 was looking for. Since she had better offers at other schools that were less expensive and more stable as to location, and since NEU did not provide any merit scholarships, she chose elsewhere.
I did not realize that 1500+ students were admitted/enrolled? Into NUin that’s a tremendous amount of students!
that’s enrolled in NU.in - the # admitted is probably much higher as i would expect the yield of a NU.in offer is much lower than an admit for Boston campus since the majority of students don’t want to be away first semester of freshman year.
What do you think the NU.in yield is? If it’s 15%, then that would make the NU.in acceptance rate for CO28 about 10%
I’m wondering if anyone knows what percent graduate in 4 years. Common Data Set says ZERO. That is for 2017 and 2018 data, so I thought maybe COVID, but every other school I checked had 50-90% finishing in 4 years for those same years. For almost 90K per year, my dear son better finish in 4!
It is possible. No idea of the percentage, but my daughter is graduating with an engineering degree in 4 years this May. She did 2 coops. She came in with a ton of AP credit and will have spent 7 semesters in school, plus some summer credits, but nothing that interfered with summer internships or coops.

When a student does a summer co-op, do they pay for school tuition in that time?
I think a lot of their numbers are artificially low bc of the amount of applicants they get by having no essay and a free waiver. My kids go to a public high school outside of Boston where the admission rate to northeastern is 40%. A ton get in, few go bc of cost. It’s a great school but locally we view it a bit differently. Amazing what they’ve done over the years!

Same with our large MA public high school. Many get in to Northeastern (more mid-stats kids than high-stats kids accepted, which is bizarre to me), but few want to pay 96K X 4!
same here.
Son goes to school in Los Angeles county and acceptances from his school are a little over 50% (NU.in, Oakland, London, Boston)

That’s what we’re seeing at our NJ public school too; kids with good but not outstanding stats getting accepted over kids in the top 3% of the class. Interesting strategy. . .
