I've decided to apply for Early Decision II at Northeastern University but I'm feeling a bit worried. Does anyone have any data on the acceptance rates for ED2? I'm just trying to gauge my chances here.
Northeastern doesn't publicly release separate Early Decision II acceptance rates. While numbers may vary by year, in recent years, the overall acceptance rate for all Early Decision applicants (combining both ED I and ED II) at Northeastern has typically been higher than the regular decision acceptance rate. This is expected because colleges value the commitment that an Early Decision application represents. However, you should keep in mind that the acceptance rate in itself shouldn't be your sole basis for determining your chances. Your academic profile, extracurriculars, essays, and other elements of your application play a significant role in your admission decision. For instance, a well-crafted essay and distinctive achievements can give you an edge.
