I just found out about Northeastern University and really want to apply, but I'm worried I'm too late. Does anyone know if they accept late applications or if there's any way I can still submit mine?
As a general rule, it's always best to adhere to the deadlines set by a university, especially one that receives the high number of applications that Northeastern does. Northeastern University's regular decision deadline is typically at the start of January, so if this date has passed, they are no longer accepting applications.
However, I would still encourage you to reach out to the Northeastern University admissions office directly. Sometimes (though very, very rarely), colleges have certain programs or geographical areas where they will still consider late applications if they haven't reached their anticipated number of applicants. They also can provide you with information on how to prepare for the next application cycle if applying now is not an option. The admissions office can be contacted here: https://admissions.northeastern.edu/visit/contact/.
Remember, it's always beneficial to start your application process early for future scenarios - this allows time for ample research and ensuring that all necessary materials are prepared adequately. In the meantime, consider other universities that might still be accepting applications, or those that have rolling admissions.
