I also have similar stats (1950 SAT, 3.6 GPA, many ECs) and I’m undeclared, but I got a scholarship… are you sure he looked in the right place and didn’t just miss it? That’s strange, I wonder why I got scholarship money (not complaining though!)
Did either of you take hard classes in college? Like many AP, Honors, (IB)? Because I’ve taken a lot, maybe they look for that.</p>
<p>*hard classes in high school</p>
<p>^I’ll have 5 APs by the end of senior year and like 24 community college credits, I dunno how many would be enough for a scholarship. I figured I didn’t get anything because I have really weak ECs, but I don’t really know. I can still attend even with no merit money, but it would have been nice to get some. I suppose it can go to someone who really does need it, though.</p>
<p>anybody know any numbers about their admittance this year? I heard somewhere that the school received 14,000 EA applicants. They were projecting half of that, so I’m curious as to how many they admitted.</p>

General Comments/Congratulations/Venting/Commiserations, etc:
Congrats to everyone else who got accepted!</p>
<p>@TOStudentTutor Wow.</p>
<p>I called Financial Aid and was told we were not too late to file the CSS, that we could still submit the form. I don’t know why but I had January 1st in my head. For EA the deadline was Dec 1st. She said those who got the form in by Dec 1st got a tenative award notification with the EA acceptance notification. It was not final. Their regular priority deadline is Feb 15th. I am getting this done within a day though! Today is December 23rd. </p>
<p>So, the bottom line is that my son got the acceptance information early, but just didn’t get the financial information early. </p>
<p>Only some (private) schools require the CSS. All require the FAFSA.</p>
<p>I should post stats for my son:</p>
<p>Accepted: Music Industry Major
3.27 GPA (from a nationally ranked extremely rigorous HS)
AP and Honors Classes
29 ACT
Superb essay (focused on music - this kid lives and breathes music)
Lots of ECs including playing three sports per year, some volunteer work, many music ECs (private guitar and voice lessons at a school for the performing arts for a few years, has a band, writes music (and lyrics), has recorded some of his original songs with his band/has a portfolio, took a Music Production Workshop at Berklee, etc.)</p>
<p>Someone asked if the updated transcript was sent with first term grades. My son’s school automatically sends the updated transcripts to all schools to which a student is applying. Northeastern was sent an updated transcript.</p>
<p>Yeah you usually have to provide your guidance counselor with the forms for each school. I remember having to give mine like five envelopes and filled out forms…</p>
<p>@projectmgrmom - It’s nice to see someone else for Music Industry 
Interesting that your son and I have a lot of the same music ECs (except I could never find people to form a band, so I just do solo music).</p>

<p>Hi</p>
<p>I was accepted Early Action
Weighted g.p.a 3.72
Unweighted g.p.a 3.44
S.A.T Superscored: 1710 -weak
Out of State (NY)</p>
<p>Whats the difference in the accepted threads for NE?</p>
<p>How do you get a Dean’s Scolarship?
Do you have to check yes on the little box on your application that says "Do you intend to apply for merit-based scholarships? "?</p>
<p>I checked no for that box, am I still eligible to get a dean’s scolarship? Does anyone know what a merit based scholarship is??</p>
<p>A merit-based scholarship means they give you $ based on how good your grades, scores, rank, etc. are. Idk if you had to check the yes box though, I’d think so.</p>
<p>I just looked and I checked no and got a scholarship so I’d bet it doesn’t matter</p>
<p>deferred from EA 
weighted gpa 92.7 with AP and advanced classes
Lots of leadership and extracurricular activities
29 ACT, with a 32 on Math White male from westchester county, NY</p>
<p>Accepted!</p>
<p>GPA: 4.00 weighted
SAT: 2120
ACT: 31
EC: lots of volunteering. Treasurer of NHS and senior editor of the yearbook committee
Essay: I wrote it completely in limericks and I guess that paid off!</p>
<p>I handed in my CSS on time but for some reason Im getting $0.00 in merit/need-based scholarship money and I have no idea why because I come from a low-income household that can hardly pay anything a year. I hope the lack of aid was a mistake because this NEU is really one of my top choice schools and paying 60k+ a year is absolutely not an option </p>
