Thanks for the info-although worrying, it’s helpful to have.

For financial aid, I’m currently receiving a bit over 30k from Clarkson(which cuts the cost roughly in half). My threshold of whether or not Northeastern is worth it is whether they can bring it within 10k of where I’m at now(which would require around 20k in merit aid). I’m not optimistic that it’s likely they’ll give me that much, but part of why I’m on this forum is to figure out how well-founded that pessimism is. I guess, what’s the maximum a transfer can expect from a university like Northeastern? Bonus points if you can give a ballpark for someone in my position.

As for the over-enrollment, that’s worrying. While Northeastern isn’t a very feasible choice for me(due to financial reasons) it’s definitely my top choice. Unfortunately, with either law school or graduate school in my future plans, I need to weigh finances carefully, which seems like it’s going to exclude Northeastern(that being said, I’ll wait until the cards are dealt before conclusively saying that).
