Northeastern (Norizztern) University (2022-2023)

[silver yoke]

Plus it’s the common consensus on every thread that they don’t

[solid bay]

Whatever it doesn’t matter

Always apply for the major you want to study

[silver yoke]

I’m over this bum ass school 😤😤 50k a year foh

[signal pebble]

💀

umm @wise sierra what are you doing 😩

[wise sierra]

LOL 😭

[signal pebble]

dude aoun is making money off your pain

[wise sierra]

L

[drifting warren]

CS + MATH

I think neu is known these days to be pretty good for cs/stem overall. Not sure tho

[wise sierra]

yeah

its generally rather good in cs and eng

[queen junco]

the deadlines jan 3rd now right?

[earnest loom]

For ed2? I believe so

[native sparrow]

I wonder if that's so people who decided to do ed over winter break have time to get their guidance counsellor to sign the form

[cinder spear]

it isnt

i emailed about that

the materials deadline is jan 15

so when i told them i would probably send it over jan 10 they were like no prob deadline is the 15th

[native sparrow]

oh i assumed you needed the signature when you submitted it on commonapp

[cinder spear]

i applied RD and swapped

but im EA now so idk

[native sparrow]

I did ea -> ed so i submitted the ed form weeks after but i assumed you needed to sign the form when u submitted it on commonapp and the materials date was just for like recs & transcripts

[cinder spear]

nah

it adds the requirement to the portal

so u have to fill a pdf out and upload it

im surprised it let me go from ED2 to EA tho

i swapped like sometime last wk

[native sparrow]

ohhhh

[native sparrow]

maybe they hadn't started ed2 apps yet

[distant cairn]

for the ed for do u print it out then scan it or edit the pdf online

[native sparrow]

i did both

i filled out some of the stuff like school and names but then printed it out and got signatures and then scanned it in

i used the adobe scan app bc my printer doesn't have a printer and i didn't feel like having to deal with the one at school

[coarse current]

my school did everything in naviance

[wise sierra]

anyone applying to CAMD?

i have a question about the portfolio

[coarse current]

but if you have an iphone you can just use the notes app and scan the document there

[native sparrow]

i'm not but still ask your question

[hidden iron]

i can ask ppl who got into camd if u want

[lusty citrus]

What’s camd

[native sparrow]

college of arts, media, & design

[wise sierra]

oh

i forgot my question

it was probably stupid then

thank you all for your help though ❤️

[dreamy field]

I’m applying neu for comp sci but I got a 3 in ap csp and Ap stats does this look bad in my application

I’m also going test optional

[silver yoke]

I don’t know that any college even looks at AP scores

[dreamy field]

Should I still submit them?

[silver yoke]

I mean, I wouldn’t?

[dreamy field]

I have a 4 in apush and 2 on Lang lmao

So do I just submit the 4

I’m not the best test taker lol

[silver yoke]

I don’t think you have to submit them at all?

[dreamy field]

But they wouldn’t have a test score to look at tho

[silver yoke]

I don’t think they look at it at all

Besides they wouldn’t treat an apush score the same as an SAT or ACy

[dreamy field]

Are you sure?

[valid lodge]

I’d refrain from submitting a 3 if the school doesn’t accept it as credit. You should always submit a 4 though.

[lusty citrus]

Schools don’t really look at AP scores

Unless you REALLY have something to show there’s no point

[dreamy field]

can I just self report or do I actually have to send in my official scores

[distant cairn]

do colleges see every score

[latent tartan]

I LOVE NORTHEASTERN UNIVERSITIYY

mmmmmmmmmm

[signal pebble]

Real real

[latent tartan]

(Let me in)

[signal pebble]

@wise sierra let zebra in

[wise sierra]

W

[hidden iron]

w take

[cinder spear]

its ok

rather go to a UC wit dat party life 😎

[silver yoke]

oos tuition is somehow more than NEU tuition lmao

[cinder spear]

im in state which is why i said

[scenic turret]

friend of mine had a 35/42 ib score with 1450 sat

[lucid sky]

is EA rates a lot lower than ED

[valid lodge]

EA is around the same rate as RD, perhaps a little higher at 6-10%. ED is nearly 40%

[hollow cedar]

whys that

as in each college? like arts and science or engineering?

[hollow cedar]

and he went with SAT? I have higher stats im praying man

[drifting warren]

Cause there are applicants that have much higher stats than me that are applying to cs

Literally the most competitive major

Luckily they think I am fit for their school as a whole and they don’t care who majors in what

[coarse current]

thankfully i’m a combined major (khoury and cssh) so does it rly matter what school i apply to anyway

[drifting warren]

They don’t care where you apply

[dreamy field]

Does anyone know if you can self report Ap scores

[coarse current]

my school self reported ap scores on our transcript

but i doubt they look at them that highly

[dreamy field]

so you think I should self report them?

[coarse current]

the only way to do it is via the commonapp

are they 4’s and 5’s

[dreamy field]

One of them is a 4

The rest were 3’s

[scenic turret]

6-10%?? tf

[coarse current]

yea apparenly neu LOVES ed applicants and said fuck you ea and rd ppl

[native sparrow]

they fill 50% of their class with ed applicants

[coarse current]

sooo they’re basically tulane

(tulane’s rd acceptance rate is like 3% as the fill up most of their spots EA/ED)

[native sparrow]

yeah they do the same basically but just not as much

but close to it lol

[queen junco]

when is the materials deadline for ed2

[languid escarp]

lol EA is gonna be crazy

[drifting warren]

Rd will be worse 😔

[hidden iron]

especially ea, it has like 6% acceptance rate 💀 tbf it also has to do w how neu doesn't have a supp essay

[lucid sky]

damn even w demonstrated interest?

[lean elm]

I ended up withdrawing my EA app from Tulane due to financial reasons (wish I'd checked earlier cuz I lost a spot on my CA too ;-;) and EVERYWHERE I GO since then I see tulane's name

makes me sad ;-;

[distant cairn]

northeastern's favorite demonstrated interest is ed-ing

lol

[drifting warren]

True

[dreamy field]

Bro is it bad that my resume is 4 pages 😀

[cinder spear]

very

looks insanely unprofessional

keep it to one page with only the very best you can fit on there

unless they ask for a CV never make it longer

[dreamy field]

Do I just put my leadership experience along with my work and volunteer stuff on there?

[coarse current]

ur resume should mention what’s not on your activities section

a page or 2 max

[dreamy field]

Oh alright thanks

Like I don’t even know what else I could put all the leadership and extracurricular stuff are on my common app

[cinder spear]

are they fully fleshed out on the CA list?

like is there anything important you could mention on the resume that you cant on the CA list

[coarse current]

they might not look at ur resume

[dreamy field]

Yes

[dreamy field]

There’s some stuff

[cinder spear]

if its insanely important add it to additional info

if not j omit entirely

[dreamy field]

Like I just put leadership experience and other extra activities i didn’t put

And also work experience

[drifting warren]

Mine is 2

But I can def cut it down

[latent tartan]

Happy new year northeastern university

I could be attending you by the end of this year

That’s crazy

[wise sierra]

So true

Happy new year zebra ♥️

[distant cairn]

frfr

happy new year

[signal pebble]

happy new year ✨🎊

[drifting warren]

True

[viscid marsh]

Happy new year

[paper ravine]

hoping for a miracle and some aid

[signal pebble]

GLLL

[silver yoke]

Same. Literally the most expensive private uni I’m applying to

[drifting warren]

arent most private unis around NEU price?

[silver yoke]

It’s more expensive than most for me for some reason

Plus they give like 0 merit if you’re not national merit

[drifting warren]

hmmm ok i see

[earnest loom]

Somehow it’s my cheapest I believe

But the rest of mine are just like 60-65

[silver yoke]

USC and NYU? 😭

[earnest loom]

NYU, Cornell, Villanova

Duke and wake forest too

[silver yoke]

I would’ve applied infosci at Cornell if I didn’t hate their campus + grind culture

Instate tuition goes crazy

[earnest loom]

I haven’t visited the campus yet but I heard that it was beautiful?

[drifting warren]

cs + math better pay off for me 😭

cornell's campups is amazing

[silver yoke]

Upstate NY sucks

[earnest loom]

Dang I’ve heard the complete opposite from my friends there

Maybe just personal preference

[drifting warren]

its beautiful there

[silver yoke]

Campus is nice when it’s not winter

[earnest loom]

Im from chicago

So I’m used to winter

Nothing can be worse than Michigan in winter tho I hated that trip

[silver yoke]

Buffalo in winter

[drifting warren]

oh nah

[earnest loom]

Well the Michigan campus is kinda ugly

[drifting warren]

💀

[earnest loom]

Cornell is pretty

[drifting warren]

people are literally dying there rn

[silver yoke]

Meh

I prefer urban campuses

Plus I’ve heard Cornell CS (and InfoSci to an extent) is a horrible experience

• CALS is test blind which is to my disadvantage

[earnest loom]

Fair

Im doing the hotel school

Which is way more of a nicer vibe

[dreamy field]

We did it guys 🥹

[coarse current]

WWWW

[dreamy field]

Manifesting everyone here 🙏🏻

[wise sierra]

LETS GO BITCH

HOPE U GET IN

[coarse current]

beating that 6-10% ea acceptance rate🤩

[wise sierra]

LOLLL

RD gang

[dreamy field]

Thank you 🥹 you too

Is there anything else besides common app that we have to do?

Am I supposed to get like an email or something

[drifting warren]

yall got it.

[silver yoke]

80% EA deferral rate goes brrr

[coarse current]

you should get an email soon to activate your portal but that’s about it

[earnest loom]

No way

Where did u see that

[coarse current]

^^

it does kinda make sense bc they want to lower their acceptance rates for boost rankings

[silver yoke]

Not a concrete number, but A. 10% acceptance rate B. Boost RD rejections, and C. https://www.reddit.com/r/ApplyingToCollege/comments/sdl1fe/northeasterns_admission_officers_after_they_gave/

[earnest loom]

DANGG

defferals for ea are ridiculous

[mint dragon]

lmao apparently

they overadmitted the last few cycles

so they're having a housing crisis

[coarse current]

yeaa neu has a huge housing crisis

and more ppl are prolly applying soooo

[fast dust]

hey guys

do you think that decisions will come out early

[silver yoke]

Nah, generally around Jan 26th-Feb 1st iirc

[coarse current]

^^

usually a couple days before feb 1 but not like 2-3 weeks early

[fast dust]

ok ok that makes sense

[drifting warren]

so although they want to rise in the rankings they also can only admit so many students

people are getting caught up on this ranking thing and dont realize that they have been over admitting and it's only hurting them to do so. they had to relocate people to hotels. so it's not all about ranking

[wise sierra]

^^

[drifting warren]

yes they gamed it but so do so many other unis lmao

Columbia did,mckenna, clemson, and literally most of the top ones game it someway or another

[wise sierra]

^^^

literally

[rotund mason]

yes 😭 neu housing crisis is real. they made my sister go to london for a semester last year 💀💀

wait so is ea acceptance worse than RD?

[coarse current]

someone told me ed acceptance rate last year was like 7%

now it’s like ~38%

yeaaa us ea/rd ppl r fucked

[drifting warren]

Do you mean rd?

Ed was like 35 I think. It’s prob gonna drop another 5% this year

[coarse current]

no apparenly i talked to someone whos a freshmen there and the ed rate wasn’t high last year

i feel like ea is gonna be hell lmao

[drifting warren]

No I think that’s wrong. Ed has been very high recently. No way Ed was 7. Rd was like 6.5

Cannot be true

[rotund mason]

My sister got in regular in 2020

[safe moss]

EA is gonna be so low but what do they expect when they don’t ask for supps

[drifting warren]

^^

[native sparrow]

can somebody that applied RD check what the date is to switch to ED 2

I thought it was jan 15 but just wanted to make sure

[native sparrow]

actually this is kinda the wrong thread to ask in

[earnest loom]

It is

99% sure

[native sparrow]

thank you

[languid escarp]

i was about to say that

[cinder spear]

why are u asking

ur literally pre-frosh

nm its prolly for a friend im stupid

[native sparrow]

for an irl friend who doesn't know anything about a2c

yes lol

[cinder spear]

💀 mb mb

[native sparrow]

dw you're not stupid

[sly scarab]

hey so i kinda missed the deadline and still submited

will they look at my application still

[silver yoke]

How late did you miss it by

[sly scarab]

or like did i just lose $75

1 day

[silver yoke]

1 day like you just submitted or or one day like 6-7 hours late

[sly scarab]

it was due jan 1 and i just submitted jan 2 at 5 pm lmfao

[silver yoke]

yeah you might be screwed

[sly scarab]

dang

[wise sierra]

no

i extended rd deadline to jan 3

[silver yoke]

oh that's right!

[wise sierra]

[drifting warren]

[wanton pasture]

was yale not due on the 2nd?

[wise sierra]

i sent that yesterday

(im pst)

[languid escarp]

Hello

[distant cairn]

🥶 W pick

[silver yoke]

No one in my school has ever been rejected with a 34+ and a 103+ to NEU.

Until me 😈

[uncut crown]

is this naviance cuz i j dont trust this site as much

[silver yoke]

Yeah. Naviance is prob the only semi-decent scattergram though

[uncut crown]

i mean in my sch its like ppl rarely report acceptances and rejections are like barely even reported

[silver yoke]

they make us report all of them

[uncut crown]

oh ok then you're fine

us its like nobody cares to even do it

[uncut crown]

i wish my sch did this

[paper ravine]

My schools NEU is insane

So many X’s you can barely see the checkmarks

I mean it’s a school where ed is very useful

If I could financially handle it I’d go Ed too

[silver yoke]

Lmao someone was able to get in with an 1180 at some point and a 97W 💀

Probably from like 10 years ago

[paper ravine]

I was planning on applying to like..ivies, took one look at the scattergrams and saved like 140 dollars in application fees

[silver yoke]

just a little difference

[paper ravine]

That’s most of my school too, with ED

[drifting warren]

whats this

[cinder spear]

yall got funny scattergrams

[silver yoke]

bar graphs on naviance

acceptance rates

[drifting warren]

ik but for what school

[silver yoke]

the thread we're in

[drifting warren]

lol ok

[silver yoke]

[silver yoke]

I wish naviance let us sort by year

Cus it's definitely a bit harder the past few then fucking 2014 when the graphs start (for my school, at least)

[drifting warren]

naviance has a shit UI

[dreamy field]

Does anyone know the acceptance rate for Ed2?

[drifting warren]

no

likely 15-25%

[quartz marten]

Northeastern University

[delicate hawk]

Acceptance rate doesn’t mean shit bro u either get in or you don’t

[tired wind]

bro said so much and said nothing at the same time

[scenic turret]

its 50/50 fr

[violet minnow]

Hi

[cinder spear]

Damn

[silver yoke]

It’s nbd

Just get it done sooner rather than later

[earnest loom]

Not the horrible typo

[silver yoke]

Oh wait “and” 💀

I know I saw that typo too

[earnest loom]

They missed it twice too

[cinder spear]

Thats crazy but i dont see yall getting personal emails

Also I submitted my app very recently

Crazy that they alr looked at m6 file

[coarse current]

wait u actually have to do this💀

[earnest loom]

☠️ I was just making fun of their Typo

[earnest loom]

Probs got flagged in scanning process

[silver yoke]

I mean it’s coming out at the end of the month. Plus they could’ve just automatically flagged it

[cinder spear]

No he emailed as a joke

[cinder spear]

Tru but i also gamed the system for ea

[coarse current]

the grammar errors lmao

[cinder spear]

Applied rd swapped to ea in portal

[coarse current]

ah

[earnest loom]

How do you game the system for a college with no supps

[silver yoke]

I wish I could do that for Umiami…

[coarse current]

same

[silver yoke]

I thought they had a shit cs curriculum but I didn’t realize they had a whole separate page for electives 😕

[cinder spear]

jfc the response time goes mad hard

bro was faster than me

[latent tartan]

do you guys think NEU is a heavy STEM over Social sciences school or is that overstated

i feel like its overstated and pretty balanced/hollistic

[silver yoke]

The biggest allure of NEU is the co-ops, which are generally more beneficial for STEM/Finance

[latent tartan]

Hmm

I feel like there’s tons of interesting co-ops in polisci for example

Mass state government

[silver yoke]

Maybe. Arguably it’d be better to be closer located to DC/go to a school with a good law school connection

Oh for state gov I guess:

[latent tartan]

Yea. But I can’t get into Georgetown and to me NEU is much better than GW

[silver yoke]

I mean for polisci it probably isn’t

(Plus NEU is more $)

I mean idk about what you want to do with your degree, but if it’s in DC it might be more worth it to just got to a DC school and get an internship there

At Georgetown and GW for example getting a hillternship is pretty damn straightforward

I think my tour guide at GW even used the word “easy” to get in there

[latent tartan]

Yea but just personal preference I'd much rather be at Northeastern

[silver yoke]

Yeah I get that, I just meant academically/career-wise

[drifting warren]

Yes tbh I am fine investing a crazy amount considering the career benefits

[wise sierra]

no cause dude the way im OKAY with casually dropping 90k a year on this school

and concerned about it for like stanford and princeton and shit 😭

[silver yoke]

Nah no shot

[wise sierra]

LOL

[silver yoke]

Idk I just can’t justify it for CS

[wise sierra]

its mostly a joke

mostly

okay dude

if i end up at a private im full pay no matter what

UCs need to come in clutch man

[silver yoke]

You instate?

[wise sierra]

yeah

and im too stupid to qual for merit and shit

so rip

[silver yoke]

Yeah cause oos the UCs are like a private price 💀

[wise sierra]

LOL no yeah i know

its HELL

[hidden iron]

sorry i just saw this now but often times ppl apply ea just to apply especially since there's no essay so for ea u have to show demonstrated interest in other ways. unfortunately many don't do this since neu is often a backup for them or not their top school, which ao's can see right thru.

[coarse current]

im gonna sign up for another info session

i did one a while back and toured by i feel like i need another one

lmao

[wise sierra]

W

[cinder spear]

mfw

[viscid marsh]

Wait what is that

[cinder spear]

im an early grad so there's extra requirements for NEU

basically I'm not allowed to do EA + I need to give midyear and 2 letters of support

which is really just "oh yea he talked to us and we support him"

but im still in EA and sent them everything they needed today

so i think im good

[viscid marsh]

Oh I see

[viscid marsh]

Nice 👍

[cinder spear]

i got all the support 💪

[coarse current]

WWW

[cinder spear]

thats crazy tho

i swapped into ea like Dec 23

[silver yoke]

Do you think that they might defer you though? (I mean they defer like 80% of people anyway, but still)

[cinder spear]

Prob will but like i got good stats for neu

So im hoping not

[silver yoke]

6% acceptance rate though 🫠

[cinder spear]

ik

im not too invested in neu tho

too goofy of a social life

[coarse current]

yea their social life feels weird

everything else is like perfect

[cinder spear]

yh

having to other unis for parties is crazy

esp having to join mit frats

[coarse current]

i’m not even a super big party person but that’s a turnoff asl

[cinder spear]

yea

co-op snappening doesnt help it either

[coarse current]

mhm

i’ve shown a decent amount of interest in them but like is it really enough

[cinder spear]

me replying to them in half an hour at 6 in the morning better be

esp considering how they asked me for mid year grades and 2 letters of support from my counselor & parents

me getting that to them within the hour better be seen as some deadly interest

[coarse current]

i’ve toured and been to one info session and i signed up for 2 more😭

they’re for different colleges though but like at this point neu pls accept me

[silver yoke]

Same

[naive ridge]

the doxx omg?

[cinder spear]

how?

[naive ridge]

ur school is showing

[cinder spear]

o

thats crazy

[languid escarp]

Anyone know where I can access my financial aid checklist?

[dreamy field]

Y’all think I can submit a 1360???

[earnest loom]

What major

[dreamy field]

Comp sci

😬

[earnest loom]

I wouldn’t

Their 25th is a 1360

[fresh lichen]

no

dont

[dreamy field]

☹️

[fresh lichen]

go test optional

your scores may be good for other unis as far as i know

but for neu CS

i dont think it will cut it

nothing to be disheartened about, you still have a good chance as test optional

good luck!

[dreamy field]

thank you!

[coarse current]

i haven’t seen mine either and i applied back in october

[languid escarp]

does anyone know when EA comes out

[silver yoke]

Probably Jan 26-28th

[coarse current]

i applied ea and it always said awaiting decision for me

technically ed2 was due jan 3rd

but you can change your admission plan until jan 15

[rotund mason]

my sister got in w 1190

[coarse current]

when did she apply and did she submit it

[dreamy field]

ain’t no way brotha

[rotund mason]

she is there rn ☠️☠️

[rotund mason]

yes

[dreamy field]

Bro what

What were her stats bruh

[rotund mason]

4.25 gpa, 2 jv sports, a few clubs, 2 jobs, 3 awards, great essays

[solid coyote]

Was it a couple years ago

[rotund mason]

it was 2021

2020-2021

[silver yoke]

TO?

[tired hill]

should i submit 1450 sat to northeastern?

[fresh lichen]

whats the breakdown and which major are you applying to?

[tired hill]

780 math 670 evbr

comp sci

[fresh lichen]

i'd say your math score is competitive for CS

lemme check 50th percentile for ebrw

just checked

25th percentile is a 700💀

so i'd suggest go test optional

idk how okay neu is w test optional

@wise sierra pitch in please

[tired hill]

bruh

but can't my math make up for my reading

[fresh lichen]

if your reading was a 700

i'd say go for it

but if its lower than the 25th percentile

it could hurt your chances

even if the math is impressive

[tired hill]

that is annoying damn

[fresh lichen]

ikr

[earnest loom]

670 is 88th percentile

[tired hill]

for reading?

[earnest loom]

Their 25th is 93rd percentile

So it’s def a decent diff

[tired hill]

wait wdym

[earnest loom]

Their 50th is even higher

[tired hill]

so their 25th for reading is 700??

[earnest loom]

That’s what he said yes

[tired hill]

man fuck northeatern

[silver yoke]

Breakdown doesn’t really matter as subject to major just apply because major doesn’t matter

[distant cairn]

how do we know major doesnt matter

nothing online says they dont admit by major

[silver yoke]

Seems more like if anything that schools like CAMD are the LEPs.

But there’s nothing to say they admit by major

[latent tartan]

What’s their 75th percentile SAT

[fresh lichen]

they never said that they dont admit by major

if they had nothing to hide, they'd say it

so i think its unofficially admit by major

and if thats the case, every STEM major expects a higher math than your english...usually

[violet minnow]

Is a 1410 enough for northeastern

[snow scaffold]

yes

[silver yoke]

Try my 34 (translates to ≈ 1500) with a 28 math sub score for CS + polisci 🥶

[rotund mason]

Y’all r crazy ☠️☠️

[silver yoke]

Literally every over score but the one that matters most is like a 36

lmao

Whatever, my soft target/safety city school just needs to give me a fat merit package (which I think they should) and I’m chilling

[earnest loom]

Not a slay

Or sleigh

[coarse current]

don’t like half of enrolled students go TO anyway

[earnest loom]

800 math and 400 English wouldn’t be cute if you submitted

[coarse current]

northeastern highly values test scores if you have them but if you don’t have a test score it’s not gonna count super against you sooo

[silver yoke]

They’re stat padders

[fresh lichen]

if thats the case then go test optional if it aint above the 50 percentile score in each section

if its just there and your other section is high id say apply with test

otherwise

dont

my opinion

yall do what seems right to you ultimately lol

[cinder spear]

manifesting this for all of us 😊

[wise sierra]

That early grad debuff

[solid coyote]

Very

Something like 28% of admitted people only sent in last year

[silver yoke]

I doubt that. I think that’s overall

[solid coyote]

It might have been but i think it was of admitted students

[silver yoke]

Yeah I just think there’s no way ~50% of applicants submitted but only 28% of admitted people submitted

It was probably the other way around

[delicate hawk]

when do the decisions come out for ea

[silver yoke]

Jan 26th - Jan 28th seems to be what it’s been in the past

[delicate hawk]

damn still a whole month basically

[somber sorrel]

3 weeks!

[earnest loom]

3 weeks

😉

[cinder spear]

Jan 27

thats the same day as umich and Uwisc based on their prev patterns of posting on the last fri of Jan

its gonna be a shitty day or amazing day for ppl who applied to a ton of EAs

[earnest loom]

Oh god don’t remind me

I find abt a scholarship that day too

[cinder spear]

[earnest loom]

Umd is in February tho I think

[earnest loom]

Ah slay ok

[safe moss]

Deferral here I come

[cinder spear]

[fresh lichen]

[silver yoke]

Isn’t Purdue oos CS RD impossible?

I thought it was like UMD where they take 99% of it EA

[cinder spear]

Yea it is

[silver yoke]

Rip

[golden swallow]

Anyone know when the proof of english proficiency is due? (Pls ping me if you have a reply)

[scenic turret]

did anyone else just have their "meet your counsellor" tab removed?

[vivid hound]

I dont know where it was earlier but right now, I can not see it

[coarse current]

mine is gone too

[hollow cedar]

guys anyone chose to go NU IN or the global program thingy?

[silver yoke]

Idk why you would

[coarse current]

as a preference or an option

[hollow cedar]

as a preference

[coarse current]

i don’t remember

[hollow cedar]

cuz i’m international anyways i figured it might increase my chance yk

[coarse current]

i don’t remember

ik i clicked yes on being considered but not a preference

i prefer either london or boston campus

[hollow cedar]

but london to graduate?

[coarse current]

nah their global scholars program

but ngl i wouldn’t mind going to london for al 4 years it’s just $$$

[hollow cedar]

LOL what

the purpose of neu is to stay at boston no?

[coarse current]

i live like 40 minutes away from northeastern

[hollow cedar]

oh

[coarse current]

i said i prefer the boston campus for all 4 years but i was open to london

[hollow cedar]

damn i see

[cinder spear]

Who would want to live in Boston lowk

New England is shit for urbanism

[harsh marsh]

As far as the USA goes it’s not bad

[cinder spear]

Ehhh

[coarse current]

by us standards it’s good

[cinder spear]

Add the shit northeast weather and I abhor it

Sun belt and west coast betta

[coarse current]

also boston is very walkable unlike LA or a lot of west coast cities

[cinder spear]

LA is insanely walkable, as are most coastal cali cities

[coarse current]

by european standards it’s shit

[cinder spear]

There's a reason we have one of the least developed downtowns for our size

System is decentralized and most suburbs incentivize walking and biking a lot, esp to kids

[harsh marsh]

Fair enough, I guess that one’s a matter of personal preference, I like the weather up here

[cinder spear]

Yeah Def

[coarse current]

SF though 🤞

[cinder spear]

Fuck SF

SF is the scum of the earth

As a SoCal lover i cant allow any SF love

[drifting warren]

Some people like west coast weather more but I don’t think there’s any problems with east coast weather.

[cinder spear]

Depressing af imo and also humid

[drifting warren]

I’ve been told Bostons weather is similar to that of nyc. I love the seasons that nyc goes through so I think I’ll be happy

[coarse current]

can confirm

[drifting warren]

nothing that i cant handle

[silver yoke]

Huh? It, I-95, SF and Chicago are about the only areas of the country with good urbanism

[cinder spear]

😭

bro included an interstate in listing off urbanism

[silver yoke]

SoCal, largely everything in the south and the Midwest are entirely horrible when it comes to good urban planning

[silver yoke]

That’s the name of a corridor…

[cinder spear]

SoCal goes hard

[silver yoke]

Connecting cities in the northeast

[cinder spear]

only ppl who shit on it are those who don't live in SoCAl

[silver yoke]

Bro half of LA looks like this 😭

Just check the average walk scores

[cinder spear]

i literally live in LA bruh

[silver yoke]

https://www.walkscore.com/CA/Los_Angeles

[cinder spear]

these are the arteries that let you go from beach to mountains and desert in 5s

you never need to leave ur city bc everything is walkable

yk how we literally have no department stores or walmarts?

[silver yoke]

https://www.walkscore.com/NY/New_York

[cinder spear]

its bc all our shit is small

[silver yoke]

Are you srsly gonna say that LA is more walkable than NY or Chicago?

[cinder spear]

yes

we also have less white people

[silver yoke]

💀

[cinder spear]

which historically trends towards more walkability bc u dont get racismd

[silver yoke]

Just look up how many people commute by mass transit v. cars by comparing the two cities

All the buildings in La immediately drop to ~5 or so stories outside the CBD

It’s inherently less walkable

[cinder spear]

bro no one fucking lives in DTLA 😭

[silver yoke]

Cities in the northeast are walkable because they were built up before the post-war era

[silver yoke]

Exactly???

[cinder spear]

and no one works in DTLA

[silver yoke]

That’s the problem

[cinder spear]

its inherently seperate from the rest of LA

[silver yoke]

Denser environments inherently lead to more people walking

Manhattan is lived in by many people as compared to LA’s urban core

[cinder spear]

LA doesn't have an urban core, its not one city

its seperate cities that each have their own financial districts

people rarely leave their city because they don't need to

everything is there

[silver yoke]

Right… doesn’t make it more walkable than NY

[cinder spear]

literally does and u still haven't proved me wrong

[silver yoke]

Literally doesn’t though?

[cinder spear]

i don't get mugged walking at night at 2am

[silver yoke]

NY objectively has lower crime rates than LA

[cinder spear]

bro using big words again

is it bc we're more of a minority city?

do you hate minorities?

[silver yoke]

https://www.walkscore.com/CA/Los_Angeles vs. https://www.walkscore.com/NY/New_York

You can check their methodology here https://www.walkscore.com/professional/research.php

[silver yoke]

Yes that’s exactly what I meant ur right

[cinder spear]

📸

i knew it all along

@mods ban this man

he called me a bomber

[silver yoke]

Are u saying im racist because I’m white??? Mods please kick, report, and doxx this man pronto

[cinder spear]

yes i fucking hate white people

[silver yoke]

@ moderators

[cinder spear]

cracker mfs gentrifying my land trying to make my shit walkable

[rotund mason]

Y’all NUin<<Main boston campus

i mean actually it depends on you

my sister did NUIn london, it was so beautiful but everyone kept getting sick

she left early

If you go, consider culture shock as a factor. could you see yourself living in a country that is predominantly not english speaking for a semester? different food, customs etc. if this is what you’d consider if ur ever going abroad but ya

[earnest loom]

London England?

[rotund mason]

no

london syria

[tepid iris]

what is that

[languid escarp]

She’s being sarcastic

[earnest loom]

Well London mostly speaks English

That’s why I was confused

[rotund mason]

Ya that’s why she chose it

[earnest loom]

This was confusing

Lmao

[rotund mason]

Sry lol

I mean most ppl would be fine going abroad anywhere but i just couldn’t imagine living in another country for my first college semester so i wouldn’t choose it

Like it’s already a shock to go to college i feel like it would suck to have to go abroad your first few months

[safe moss]

That’s the time when basically everyone gets sick - this year flu, strep, tonsillitis was going around like crazy lmao also freshers week/freshers flu

[golden swallow]

Did northeastern remove the english proficiency requirement? I don't see it on my portal anymore

[drifting warren]

I’ll be in London next year

[drifting warren]

Yes 😁

[coarse current]

maybe it got waived for you

[wise sierra]

What if we kissed 💋 under the Interdisciplinary Science and Engineering Complex staircase?

[latent tartan]

anyone else EDII and get this email that says all students must reaffirm their choice to EDII?

[cursive niche]

yep

[wise sierra]

Wish all my EDIIers the best of luck

[coarse current]

^^

[drifting warren]

Lmao. Let’s do it

[languid escarp]

what comes first

EA or ED 2

[coarse current]

ea

ea drops like 2 weeks from now

ed2 drops within a month from now

[languid escarp]

do yk the day

[coarse current]

for ed2

or ea

[languid escarp]

ea

[coarse current]

this is pure speculation from past dates but jan 24-26

but no later than feb 1

[latent tartan]

Im so sorry to bother you again for this and no problem if you don’t want to but I’m still rly interested in seeing your list of 45 schools

[wise sierra]

LOL aight

ill dm

[distant cairn]

anyone who got into northeastern how much do u have to pay a year including financial aid?

and room and board

[coarse current]

do you have a low efc

my friend who got into northeastern had a low efc (like <5k) and got a very good aid package from them

[solid coyote]

I have 0 efc and from mt estimate id be paying 5k and taking 5k loans for a year, not counting summer classes

Well idk if it counted summer classes actually

[coarse current]

wait so you only have to take out 5k in loans in total

he told me northeasterns npc is accurate

[solid coyote]

No 20k over 4 years

Maybe more idk how tuiton work during summer

[coarse current]

ngl that’s not bad

[earnest loom]

Agreed

I would be able to pay that off rn

So def a steal

[wise sierra]

HEY HUSIKES

CAN U GUYS complete a short one question google form for me

i will dm if you say yes

anonymous for a personal project

[earnest loom]

Sure

[wise sierra]

ty

[stable sparrow]

Sure

[wise sierra]

thank you !

[native sparrow]

Sure

[wise sierra]

Apply ED

[crystal gorge]

when does neu come out

[silver yoke]

Basically either don’t have an EFC or have an EFC so high your family can pay for it.

[silver yoke]

Most likely the 27th

[wise sierra]

Loll

[silver yoke]

Info sessions and tours

[wise sierra]

true

[drifting warren]

This. I am full pay and that’s literally the only reason I got in. Neu is money hungry

[paper ravine]

yes

[wise sierra]

okay so

poll has been closed

but i am creating another one

[paper ravine]

I doubt thats the only reason

[wise sierra]

achip is also sexy

i know this for a fact because

[paper ravine]

no worries! i can fill out whatever u want if u want it

[wise sierra]

okay thank you!

[drifting warren]

True

[distant cairn]

what is a low efc range

[coarse current]

i read that the average efc is like $15k or so so anything above that (say 30-40k is high) but schools that use the css profile calculate it differently

my friend who got in ed had a efc of like <5k and they gave him hella aid

[distant cairn]

bet

[signal pebble]

well aoun needs his paycheck somehow

[mental fox]

im finally here lol

[mental fox]

im about to get no aid bc im not filling out the idoc 😎

[silver yoke]

Y tho

[mental fox]

Unnecessary stuff imo

no other school requires it

i send them my fafsa and css profile

and they want more

[silver yoke]

Ok?

[cinder spear]

Dude do u want cash or not

[silver yoke]

So ur just fine with getting no aid if you happen to get in because you were lazy?

[cinder spear]

They literally request 2 documents

And u probably have neither and can say u don't

[mental fox]

yes

[mental fox]

i got 8

[cinder spear]

L

J upload it takes all of 5s

[silver yoke]

👆

[cinder spear]

Like this is how the poor stay poor

Its not like a honors app w 50 essays

Or even a goofy scholarship app

They literally j want files

Its free fucking money take it

[silver yoke]

Fucking facts, why are those essays like 4000 words

[mental fox]

nvm its only 3

imma get them in by tmr night

[cinder spear]

1099s right

[mental fox]

mom busy not going to bother her rn

[mental fox]

yes

[cinder spear]

Im putting money down that ur parents don't even file those

So u could literally j hit substitute

[mental fox]

nope i do

[cinder spear]

L

[mental fox]

i did all of fafsa and css myself

[cinder spear]

So did i

[mental fox]

she was there beside be tho

i had translate stuff that i didn't know

[cinder spear]

I literally know more about my parents finances than they do

[mental fox]

they i read ur comment wrong

they do file those

[cinder spear]

Huh

[mental fox]

like 1099 and w2

they do file it

[cinder spear]

1099 is for investments iirc

Whachu invested in

[mental fox]

not me

[cinder spear]

Oh nm

Its misc income and expenses

[mental fox]

but my parents invest in houses and apartments

[cinder spear]

Also an L

[mental fox]

so whatever form does that

[mental fox]

which i don't have for me

[cinder spear]

1065 gang

[mental fox]

cuz i don't earn income

[coarse current]

upenn and barnard require idoc apparenly

idk i had my parents do it for me bc i don’t have access to my tax documents

[cinder spear]

L

Who wants my tax returns

[mental fox]

might as well flex on us a bit more

[cinder spear]

Ong

[violet minnow]

No finaid int gang

[mental fox]

merit aid tho ik u love those

[violet minnow]

Yessir I do

Does northeastern give merit aid?

All colleges do right?

Maybe other than the UCs

[stable sparrow]

I think they do raise me so ye

[silver yoke]

It’s not merit though

They count it as finaid

So it takes away from your need based (if you get)

[stable sparrow]

Oh rip

[violet minnow]

Northeastern is one of my RD schools

So

It’ll be pretty late

By then I think I would have decided

[silver yoke]

By when?

[violet minnow]

For now it looks like I’m going to purdue

[violet minnow]

Feb 28th I would have decided

[silver yoke]

O

[violet minnow]

But I’m really hoping Madison and Maryland come through

Like I really want them

[cinder spear]

Why so soob

[mental fox]

right im gonna wait til 2nd week of april

my last decision on april fools day 😭

[violet minnow]

Visa in India is pain

I might

Just might wait for the UCs

But other than that

Nah

[mental fox]

guess who decided to do the idoc that had a priority deadline of 12/01 just now

[coarse current]

don’t uc’s not offer aid at all to oos/intls?

[violet minnow]

Aren’t UCs known for being hella stingy

They don’t give aid to oos and intls

At all

[coarse current]

yea which is why i didn’t bother applying there

[mental fox]

same

[coarse current]

paying private school money to deal with huge ass lecture classes and a housing crisis, no thanks

[mental fox]

them app fees were expensive too and deadlines were so early

[violet minnow]

I want UCSD. Forget Berkeley and La lmaooo

[mental fox]

kinda describes neu

[coarse current]

i’m describing berkley

[mental fox]

i thought usc was the one with housing crisis

or do they all have it

[coarse current]

berkeley’s housing crisis is insane

they can’t guarantee housing for first years anymore

[violet minnow]

Purdue also has a housing crisis

[coarse current]

yea but at least neu will give me aid unlike the uc system

[mental fox]

that's is tough

[coarse current]

practically every school has a housing crisis but neu berk and purdue are the most infamous

[violet minnow]

Yeah

[mental fox]

true

[cosmic copper]

would changing to early action from ed 2 be a good idea lol
i thought the early action deadline was months ago

[naive ridge]

nah don’t mess w it atp

[tepid iris]

What you can still apply EA?

Guess I fucked myself over then lol

[vivid hound]

guys when is it coming

20?

[earnest loom]

We think 27 or later

[vivid hound]

alright

[languid escarp]

i applied rd

with an ib score of 38/45

[queen junco]

for ea?

[earnest loom]

Yeah

[cinder spear]

don't do it

i did this a few weeks ago in like mid dec

but now its way too late

you'll j be auto defer to reject

[queen junco]

does ed2 come out before the official date

[native sparrow]

probably

since it's 'by march 1' not on march 1

[coarse current]

it prolly will

they just tend to overestimate when decisions will come out

[native sparrow]

yea ed 1 was a week before what they said

[cinder spear]

@wise sierra

Ay has anyone heard when ea is coming out?

[patent coral]

nah but we got max 15 days

[charred ingot]

Ight ty

[cinder spear]

J27

[coarse current]

is northeasterns net price calculator accurate?

because the estimates i got are quite high compared to the other schools i have

[silver yoke]

Probably

If not higher considering the tuition got raised by like $6k (which isn’t reflected in the NPC)

[coarse current]

jfc i’m so glad i didn’t ed here

[azure notch]

Bruh

[coarse current]

all my other schools are like within the 11k-15k range and northeastern is like 20k per year for me😃

[native sparrow]

My logic is mainly that coop will offset a decent amount of the tuition even before i graduate

Obviously not all of it but like to the point where it would be around or less than other schools

[silver yoke]

Personally I don’t want to take that gamble though

Plus apparently most of the co-op money gets eaten up by housing costs

Because your finaid doesn’t apply on co-op iirc

[native sparrow]

Yeah I think it only applies for semesters where you have full credit hours

[silver yoke]

Yeah that’s why I’ve heard that even w CS most of your co-op money is taken up by housing (after taxes)

[coarse current]

i would think co-op money would go toward living costs mostly and not tuition

[silver yoke]

Yeah exactly, you’re not really paying off much/any debt with it

[coarse current]

i am a CS/compE major though and those co-ops tend to be higher pay but i’d rather not take out 80k loans

[silver yoke]

Yeah exactly, even if I get in here I probably won’t go because of the insane COA

[coarse current]

even BU is cheaper which was shocking

like 20k coa vs like 11k per year

[silver yoke]

BU was a bit more expensive for me. Which I thought was funny because they have neither co-op nor an actual campus

[coarse current]

i was like 🤠

[silver yoke]

💀 you’re going to be in debt for generations

[coarse current]

applying for finaid here was a pain in the ass

[silver yoke]

Eternally jealous of PWMs (persons with money)

[signal pebble]

fr sucks to BU

[coarse current]

real

i’m personally a boston college hater

[signal pebble]

REAL

sucks to BC

[silver yoke]

Like “even” $50k in debt is fucking crazy. The interest can double that easily.

Well, in private unsubsidized loans that is

[coarse current]

only thing they got going is having the prettiest campus out of all 3 big schools in the area

dats it tbh

[signal pebble]

true

[silver yoke]

That all goes to housing tho

[signal pebble]

but the architecture idk comes off as pretentious

[silver yoke]

None of the nice buildings at NEU are rlly even for undergrads though 😭

[coarse current]

it is😭😭 lots of ppl from my high school go to BC and it’s filled with wealthy catholic kids

[silver yoke]

Nice academic buildings

[signal pebble]

isec 😩😩

[signal pebble]

yeah the vibes don’t really check out

[silver yoke]

99% of which is for grad students

[signal pebble]

FR 😍😍😍😍😍

god damn isec

[silver yoke]

They don’t even let undergrads use the study space in ISEC lmao

Or the closed room study space

[native sparrow]

didn't they cancel the football team and take all their money and use it for isec or something

[signal pebble]

who cares about football 🙊🙊

when isec exists
