Just a bit stressed out junior here. I've been thinking of getting my application in for Northeastern as part of their early action program...if they even have one, do they? How does it work? I'd really appreciate any advice or insights into the process. Also, could you tell me about the deadlines?
Absolutely, Northeastern University does indeed have an Early Action (EA) program! Here's how it works: You submit your application by the Early Action deadline, which is typically November 1. Your application materials need to be submitted by this date, so be sure to have your essays, recommendations, and other necessary materials ready.
What's great about Early Action is that, unlike Early Decision, it's not binding. So if you're accepted, you're not required to attend and can still apply to other colleges and decide later.
Once your application is in by the November 1 deadline, you can expect to hear back by February 15 at the latest. This is the typical timeline for most Early Action programs, and Northeastern follows this trend.
Remember, while getting your applications in early can seem stressful, it also means you'll find out whether you're accepted earlier, which can reduce some of your stress down the line! Keep track of all your deadlines, stay organized, and you'll navigate this process just fine. Good luck with your application!
