Northeastern Open House

[KateAlison]

Hey, everyone! I know Northeastern has started sending out their decisions, so I'm a bit confused about the invitation many of us received to their open house. Why would they invite us to rsvp if we might get a rejection tomorrow? Can anyone shed light on this? I'm honestly just a bit puzzled by the timing. Thanks!

Poor timing to send this email... let down after the first five words

I also received an invitation to the open house. Considering they have already sent out acceptances, is the invitation still a good sign for us? 

Thanks to anyone who can help shed some light on this for me!

I went to the open house last year and the faculty explained. Basically, they send out an invite to everyone on their mailing list, so it is neither a good nor bad sign. They sound out rounds of acceptances even after they've had the open house. I think it's silly, but I was told there that there is not logical order to the date when you hear back if that puts you at ease (topic applicants are just as likely to hear back later as they are sooner).

Thank you @JFFA this helps a lot

For those that applied really late - have you guys heard back yet? I know they were sending them in waves, and I think I literally applied the last day but still haven't heard back yet. Was wondering if this means waitlist/rejection

For those who went to the open house- what did you guys think?! I didn't have the chance to go so any input would be awesome

I didn't go to the open house but I went on a personal visit; they were extremely nice and accommodating! The campus is small but nice, and the clinic is pretty new, nice classrooms and the clinic area is a good size with big windows and view of Boston! It seems very state of the art and up to date building unlike SOME schools..haha. Depending if you have a CSD major- you go straight into clinic at the in house clinic. After that you do 1 adult, 1 child, and 1 'specialty' placement based on your interests. I really like that they have so many outside placements, other schools I've been to only have 2. Also, if you choose to do a placement in the first summer, you get the last semester of your second year with no placements! This leaves you with open time to study for comp exam and the Praxis. Over all I loved Northeastern: the students and teachers I met were so nice and willing to answer all my questions and help me really experience the school. Also I love Boston! It's going to be a hard choice
