Northeastern’s Early Action decisions are not released on a single fixed day every year, but the university sets a latest possible release date. Recent cycles show that EA decisions are guaranteed to be out by mid‑February.

Official EA timeline

Northeastern states that Early Action applicants who apply by the November 1 deadline will receive an admission decision by February 15 at the latest. In many years, some EA decisions begin to roll out in late January or early February, but applicants should plan around the February 15 outer deadline.

What this means for you

If you applied EA this cycle, expect your decision sometime from late January up to February 15, with all decisions posted in your applicant portal by that date. Exact release days can vary a bit each year, so checking your email and portal more frequently once February starts is the best approach.
