[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The stats of some of the non-admitted kids here are incredible.  My kid (currently a freshman in Boston), [b]was admitted EA last year into the Honors Program[/b] with an amazing merit scholarship.  He had a 3.98 GPA/4.53 wGPA with an IB Diploma and 5 AP's with a 35 ACT,  and very solid EC's with excellent leadership skills (Eagle Scout, 2-year captain of varsity and club hockey teams).  He was rejected by UVa (in-state), Williams (legacy), Amherst, Yale, MIT, and Duke, and was admitted to NU, Wake Forest, Virginia Tech, and JMU.  Seems like he might have had a tougher time with NU this year.  He is having an excellent experience so far.[/quote]

My guess is that if you are high stats and want Northeaster to be an option in your final mix of RD decisions, you really need to apply EA. Otherwise, Northeastern will think you probably won't come and be a yield protection casualty. Whey would they think you want to come with high stats if you didn't make the effort in EA?

NE defers many EA applicants, high stats students probably need to ED, similar to Tulane.  The schools are very similar with admission strategies and the Tulane admissions director is now at NE.[/quote]
