[agk24]

Hi everyone! I thought I'd start this thread for anyone else who applied to the Northeastern Direct Entry Program for 2021!

It just concerns me that they’re disorganized. I wonder what their curriculum is like if admissions is this crazy or if it’s really just covid causing hiccups. 

Amber, was it Susan that you spoke to? She was the one who told me mid-Feb.

I'm thinking the same thing ? I know an alumna from my school who is currently in Northeastern's program, I'm going to try to connect with her and ask her about the program

I heard there was another wave of interviews in late February so then maybe it would make sense some heard in March/April? Nonetheless it is concerning this communication. The previous applicants from other forums appeared to undergo this same frustration which I had hoped we would overcome this cycle. But anyone else like me and already put down a deposit for another school?

I haven't yet, but I think I'm going to put down my deposit for Hopkins this Friday. Also noticed that people in last year's thread were notified as late as March 20th

If I don’t hear back this week I’m gonna have to! Yeah this process is a bit concerning, I’m hoping it’s just covid making things weird.

I have a meeting Thursday with sue so if anyone needs me to ask anything(other than when decisions will come out LOL) let me know and I don’t mind asking!

UPDATE: I called a few times yesterday and eventually just left a message, the director of the program just emailed me and said "I won't have an admission decision until early next week"
Not sure if everyone's decision will be sent next week, but that's all she told me!

Interesting, thanks for the update!

She was really nice and the program seems great(I asked her a lot of stats) she did say either tomorrow or early next week for decisions. They do admissions in batches so she’s waiting for others to accept or deny the offer to know how many more can be admitted.

Okay, sounds good! I wish everyone in admissions was on the same page because its strange that some people said late March and she told me mid Feb!

That’s so soon, I’m so nervous! Northeastern is one of my top choices
