This year Northeastern received 6500 EA apps out of a total of 26,000 applicants. There are only 2800 available seats, so getting in is getting to be super competitive. My advice is to get your application in as early as possible and be sure to express a strong interest in the school.

Admissions:
Getting into Northeastern is harder than ever. I heard that the university received over 8500 EA applications this year (up from 6500 last year). The university expects to receive over 30,000 total applications this year (up from 27,100 last year) for the 2800 seats in the frosh class. In the past five years the number of people applying to this school has more than doubled and the average SAT has gone up by more 200 points. The acceptance rate is currently a low 44% but I expect that it will be even lower this year. The most successful applicants are those who not only have excellent stats but have "shown interest" in the university. How do you show interest? Here are a few tips:
1.Apply Early Action (non-binding)
2.Visit the school and take a guided tour (yes, the admissions office keeps track of this info). If you cannot go on a tour make sure that you e-mail the admissions office and explain why this is not possible for you;
3.Speak to professors in the major that you are interested and attend open houses;
4.Explain somewhere in your essay why you want to attend Northeastern and how you would benefit from the co-op program and studying in Boston.
5.If you have a parent or relative who is an alum, make this known to the admissions office; and
6.If you have a friend who is a current Northeastern student, make this known as well.
Good luck! Getting in is no easy task.

To get in, i was sent a "preferred admission." Don't ask me why I got it - I don't know. But I filled it out and was accepted. No essays, no interview.
However, I have one high school friend at the university now who had to go through the whole application and essays and got in. I had another friend who applied with the normal application and got denied. I can't really offer advice because I didn't do the essays, but...
I KNOW THAT THE ADMISSIONS DEPT. wants to hear why the ideals of the school (i.e. co-op, hands-on learning, experiencial learning, and diversity) are matches with you!
