My DD applied for the Oakland campus for 4 years. Is this considered N.U.in program?
I wonder if in addition to NUin students returning, the influx is also from students returning from coops, especiañly those who are planning to graduate in the spring.

From around Boston area NEU is not as generous as the ones with large endowments.
They do seem to look at both merit + need based aid to look at overall funding. The statement below form their fin aid website seem to confirm that as they use “AND”.
**Northeastern University Scholarship and grant funds are committed for up to eight in-class semesters during the student’s undergraduate program. Institutional grants and scholarships cannot be applied during graduate studies, including PlusOne or master’s degree programs.

I’m also reading Loving Your Safety School - #26 by sursumcorda. Hoping it helps me give.my D perspective as she visits the schools at spring break. In the meantime, she will look for scholarships. As an economist who does hands on work on poverty issues, it should be easier for me to explain why paying so much for a school may not be the best choice. But I’m also a mom…

Bless his heart son keeps checking email (kids never look at email!) I just told him to let it go for at least three hours and get his homework done … and now I’m the one checking every fifteen minutes LOL But this is my last check in for a while… it is what it is at this point and he still has strong options already as well as some we won’t know until March. Fingers crossed you and you son get good news! Would be a kick if they end up at same school!

Any internationals get their decision? Still on awaiting decision in the portal for me.
My D22 was NUin this year and got merit that was exactly on the average reported on NU’s Common Data Set. It’s not an accurate statement that first semester Boston students are more desired by the university or get better scholarships. On the contrary, NU values experiential and global education so those who participate in NUin are poster children for this unique aspect of NU.

Does anyone get a full screen, “millisecond” image of the two students from the upper right corner when they first log into the portal before it switches to the standard portal screen?

Actually, Common Data Set shows that average merit award for those students without financial need is $18k/year. About half of students without financial need are offered some level of merit.
