Transferring to Northeastern

Pessimism is very well founded. Northeastern is spending less and less on merit aid lately just as the school profile is rising (full tuition university scholars program has been eliminated for example), and I can’t imagine they’re offering much merit if at all to transfers, especially not in the range of $20k/year. It seems like the merit money is mainly to be able to include those students’ scores in entering class profiles, which don’t count for transfers. Financial aid is possible, but I wouldn’t bank on any merit.

Clarkson is a good engineering school I believe so if it’s going to be financially reasonable and NU isn’t, I’d stay there (or transfer somewhere with an affordable price.) You’re smart to think of grad school!
