Students cannot use federal aid for the programs that start outside of Boston (except perhaps 4 years in Oakland) because they are not fully matriculated in the main NU Boston campus at the Fall they start. They are considered transfers in when they move to Boston. NU does often award NU need based aid for these first semester/first year programs that can be used. You would have to ask FA about the student loans, but I assume they could be used.

Switching ED2 to RD option just disappeared for me.
@ehuang25 same here, it only lets me submit the change from ED2 and that onlyâŠ
Decisions usually come out on Wednesdays. Good luck! My son was admitted ED2 last year and he is currently in London. He loves everything about NU.

Iâm sorry that you or your children had a negative admissions experience at Northeastern, but Northeastern doesnât âyield protectâ. Like any college it determines if the applicant is the right fit for it. Demonstrated interest isnât âyield protectionâ. The last refuge of rejected applicants is usually the dreaded âI was yielded protectedâ. It is a good coping tool, but it is just that, a coping mechanism.

I actually have a personal connection to NU admissions; They do, in fact, yield protect. My youngest actually was admitted to the Boston campus, but declined the offer, as she didnât feel at home in the city.

when the ED2 decisions will be announced⊠im crashing out rn
me and you bothâŠI rlly just wanna know and accept my fate rn the suspense is killing me
Do they know if decisions are coming out tonightâ:sob:
Since you apparently work at NEU, or at a minimum, have non-public information about NEUâs admissionâs process, your view of âyield protectionâ might be better informed if you spoke with someone in admissions.
âYield protectionâ is rejecting a high stats, high achieving student with the expectation that the student will choose a higher ranked school. Hopefully we can agree on that definition. As I wrote, âyield protectionâ is usually a coping mechanism when someone gets rejected. NEU does look at demonstrated interest. I know that for a fact. Their algorithm tracks it. Almost every college tracks demonstrated interest.
NEU isnât going to reject a candidate because that candidate has such stellar stats and will choose eg, MIT; NEU will reject that candidate because they have not demonstrated interest. They will also do that for a more marginal applicant. The great majority of âyield protectedâ rejections arenât because they âmight attend elsewhereâ; rather, it was for lack of demonstrated interest. There is a difference between the two and I invite you to confer with your personal sources in Northeasternâs admissions office to learn the difference.
