Northeastern University Direct Entry

[jane415]

Hi everyone,

If anyone has any questions regarding the direct entry program at Northeastern University please feel free to ask. I am a first year student and I am enjoying the program very much.

jnd1213,

Which specialty at BC did you apply to? I'm surprised you found out so early because BC isn't rolling admission. I'm anxiously awaiting finding out later this month.

I applied to the psy specialty. they told me early bc they offered me a scholarship if i were to start this semester, which i don't quite fully understand. i turned it down because it's just too soon for me to make a decision...

That is asking you to make a decision pretty quickly. congrats on your acceptance into both schools and good luck with the decision process!

[jnd1213]

thanks! good luck to you too!

congrats jnd! thats really exciting!

MSN hopeful - any idea when we should be expecting BC acceptances? I was told "late January" but I'm extremely anxious!

From checking out past years threads, it looks like late january (starting maybe around the 20) is normal. So I guess I'll start nervously checking my mail box starting in the next week or two. Good luck all!

I was thinking more like the last week in January, but we'll see. I am also pretty anxious. Does anyone know what the BC acceptance rate is and how many direct-entry students are accepted?

[CharmedJ7]

I don't have any concrete numbers, one I've heard is 100 a year)

Heyy all, I also applied to the Direct Entry program for BC and Northeastern (and MGH). I haven't heard anything yet and am anxiously playing the waiting game! It's frustrating I want to know already!!!! Good luck to all of you! And post if you anyone hears anything more!

Hi there!

Has anyone heard anything yet? I am not sure about Northeastern, but last year I heard from MGHIHP in early March. Maybe it will be the same this year. Good luck everyone!

[kobrien629]

I've heard from Regis & BC. MGHIHP told me that they will be mailing replies by the first week in March. Not so sure about Northeastern & Simmons though...? Hopefully soon so I can stop running out to the mailbox like a little kid everyday!! =)

I heard Northeastern started calling people for interviews on Monday. I'm wicked frustrated because they showed up on the caller ID at my house (I'm away at school) and my parents didn't pick up the phone! And they didn't leave a message. I'm hoping they will call back, but if I don't hear from them by the end of the week I might give them a call...
