<p>Anyone know why they do this and if there are any possibilities of a sept start based on who decides to attend?</p>
<p>Doesn’t seem like Sept. start is possible, given that any vacancies go to those on the wait list. See all the other threads about Jan Start.</p>
<p>Thanks - seems very odd to me. They make a big deal out of stating in the acceptance letter and with a follow up letter that this is not a wait list offer but an acceptance. And again those on the WL will get a better start. Don’t really get it, but it is what it is and my daughter is pretty adamant that she won’t wait until Jan.</p>
<p>I really don’t think that the Jan. start is that big of a deal, even though it initially seems like it would be. All the spring admits I know here are very happy about being here. But if NU isn’t her top choice, then I suppose it makes a bigger difference.</p>
<p>Lots of good discussion weighing the pros and cons here going on in a few different threads… definitely check this one out: <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/northeastern-university/879699-jan-start-program.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/northeastern-university/879699-jan-start-program.html</a></p>
