Hi! Does anyone know how many applications Northeastern usually receives? I'm starting to get really nervous about my chances of getting in. Any info would be appreciated!
Hey there! In recent years, Northeastern has received around 90,000 applications, with an acceptance rate of around 7%. While the exact numbers can fluctuate slightly from one year to the next, that's about the level of competition you're looking at.
Try not to stress too much about the total number of applications or acceptance rate, though. It's more important to focus on your individual application and making it as strong as possible. Make sure your essay is well-written and unique, and that your academic and extracurricular background demonstrates your strengths. If your overall application is compelling, then you will have a shot at Northeastern, despite the institution's selectivity.
Good luck with your application to Northeastern!
