the financial aid letter doesnt mention any scholarships, only a Northeastern University grant of x dollars for fall and spring of the following year. What does that mean?
Feeling somewhat proud my son is deferred!

Gorgeous, like seriously so gorgeous, but itās an oasis in an otherwise rough area. Still on campus seemed very secure, and there is transportation to BART to Berkeley/San Francisco

Thanks. Guess no honors here. Thrilled to be admitted but a little disappointed no honors program (Ranked 1st in class, 11 APs (14 AP exams), OChem, MVC, etcā¦ )
The college process makes no sense. My daughter has been offered honors and scholarships at quite a few schools and then got flat rejected from UF one of our state schools. Got highest scholarship at FSU. Got honors and scholarship at northeastern so we are baffled by the UF decision. Iām starting g to feel like itās random luck. Also we are legacy and grandparentās also at UF (which I know doesnāt matter) made it extra sad.

The scholarship letter is separate. My son didnāt see it first. You have to scroll down. Better look on laptop.
$40k total. $10k first year and $5k/semester afterwards.

We are in the same boat, both legacy at UF and got flat rejected even though UF was marked Likely for our son by the counselor without knowing the legacy, just based on grades and scores. I think UF is playing the yield game and didnāt want to offer acceptance to top candidates thinking they would not accept and hurt their yield. Very disappointing! We are out of state but know someone in state with legacy and father teaching there for 20 years, 3 siblings all went there, top student from magnet program, flat rejected. Sheās devastated because that was her first choice unlike for us. Not cool UF, not cool!

Congrats to everyone who got in!!! All three of my girls got accepted earlier today! One with honors and the other two with study abroad for their fall semester. Still in shock but so grateful. All high stats and part of the IB diploma program.

Itās crazy. We are IN STATE so it would be free w brightfutures. Oh well. They took very few from her school this year. I think early action made things more bizarre. To not even offer defer or PACE was unreal to me
Accepted into NU - 3.8 UW, 33 ACT, Varsity sport all 4 years, strong ECās, leadership awards, and strong essays.

I disagree. UF is not playing the yield game. They received over 90K apps. They are a Top 20 School and do not need to worry about yield. They have an amazing reputation for academics and draw kids with very high stats. So unfortunately, there will be high stat kids that get rejected. And many times universities are looking at more than GPA and test scores. I heard that they rely heavily on essays as well. My daughter is OOS for UF and was deferred and was accepted to Northeasternā¦crazy admissions year yet again!

Some students transfer out and some drop out, so they are letting you in a semester later when there is more space available.

I agree they donāt yield protect. It depends on your school and county in state. They 100 percent just picked the kids with 1570+/35+ ACT and lots of extra curriculars at my kids school. They stated on their common data that essay was āimportantā but used to be ā very importantā Everyone else got rejected. At least as far as the private schools went it seemed like AI just picked top stats but no one will ever know bc colleges arent transparent. They just call everything āholisticā and do whatever they want.
wondering the sameā¦
S25 got accepted to NU-London and Iām trying to decide if I should be happy or not??
Is it better to be deferred because you still have a chance at getting admitted to NU-Boston? Seems like a lot of kids got into either Oakland or London and Iām think the yield must be pretty low. Thoughts???
