Northeastern Direct Entry On-Campus '15

Published

Hi everyone,

I just wanted to get a thread started for Northeastern's Direct Entry On-Campus Program for Fall 2015. Feel free to post anything about the program here! Thanks!

I did, this morning! Awesome woman (asst dean of graduate admissions), smart and warm, had great advice about the best path to pursue what I'm interested in (early childhood preventive health, following through adulthood). It went well, I think. I was pretty set on Simmons; now I'm on the fence a bit again. There's something to the cross-disciplinary opportunities in a large university. And she was just so great and supportive.

She did tell me they only take 28 DEN applicants (across ALL specialty tracks--not just FNP!), so NOT counting chickens. I thought they took about 100. Thrown a bit by that! :woot:

Happy to say Northeastern called this morning, and I was accepted FNP track! So grateful to have a) the wait in my rear-view mirror, and b) choices. Especially b! Now to focus on financing.

Again, hang in there all who haven't heard; I got word on all 3 programs only since Wed. 4/4.

Has anyone else heard back from NEU yet? I'm wondering why they don't just send out all of these acceptances at once, I'm getting pretty impatient at this point... :sniff:

I got a personal phone call from one of the Deans yesterday to tell me it was a no.

Sorry to hear that, ceddybear! That's strange that they call with no's and not just send letters. Can I ask which track you applied for and what other programs you applied to/heard from?

No problem. I was accepted at UMass Med and MGH. Still waiting to hear from Vermont and Simmons. I honestly don't know if they call with no's because it seemed like a strange call. My undergrad GPA was weak due to just never bothering to try and getting by using my intelligence. Apart from that I was told by UMass and MGH that the rest of my application was stellar which is why they overlooked the GPA. I got the feeling this Dean wanted me in the program but was vetoed by the rest of the admissions committee.

In addition to all that I had a Dean at Simmons reach out a month ago asking for an explanation of my undergrad GPA since she wanted to vouch for my candidacy to the program.

I got a personal call yesterday too with a "no" but with an offer for a different program, but since I was

accepted elsewhere I told them no thank you! The lady on the phone said it was extremely tough this round as they only took about 24 seats so congrats if you are accepted! I'm off to MGH í ½í¸Š

I started a Facebook page for students accepted into the program. I haven't made up my mind yet about where I'm going, and I'd love to share information and perspectives! Search for "Northeastern Direct Entry MSN starting Fall 2015."

@elana4 - Congrats on Regis! I'm interested in applying to Regis and Northeastern next year. Do you mind sharing your stats?

Congrats to all that have been accepted! I was wondering if you got an email when your decision was ready? I just received an email that said "Thank you for applying to the Bouvé Graduate School at Northeastern University. A decision regarding your application has been reached. Please login in to your application to view this decision. An official letter will be mailed to the address provided on your application."

However, when I logged onto my portal it didn't have a decision. I was just curious if this happened to anyone else. Thanks!

Did you scroll all the way to the bottom of the application portal?? I believe decisions were made mid-march. I received a phone call that I was admitted on the 12th!

Does anyone know when the deadline to accept/decline is?
