Don’t think it will hurt you…don’t stress too much. DS is going to NEU in the fall (yeah!). Applied to BU too and listed that on the NEU app. Also applied to GWU and listed that on the NEU app. Was waitlisted a BU, accepted at GWU and NEU.
NEU admissions tips that I saw: go to the campus visit and sign in (shows you are interested), interview if you can, even if it is on the phone (we did this from West coast). Interview is informational but again, shows interest. Absolutely apply EA. It is not binding and shows interest. NEU had 6500 (I think I am remembering right) apps EA this year. Acceptance rate was 40%. Go to the NEU board and check my memory…
NEU app is fairly standard but you can include an activities/EC “resume” listing ECs, awards, part time jobs, etc. Highly suggest you do that…
