Northeastern (Norizztern) University (2022-2023)

[earnest loom]

Ur op too

[frosty meadow]

Guessing u have a 10.0 GPA on a 4.0 scale, with a 56 ACT, and 5027 ECs, and 8963 awards

[silver yoke]

Nah. Pretty good ECs, like no awards, 4.6 GPA and a 34

But I’m still above their average. I feel like w how many kids just apply because it’s free for them w no essay there’s no way I’m the bottom like 10% of that

[frosty meadow]

Yeah still high... lol

[earnest loom]

Same here

4.8 and. 34 act

[frosty meadow]

omg

[earnest loom]

Just the sheer number of applications sucks

[frosty meadow]

how are yalls weighted so high

[silver yoke]

Different weighting system

[frosty meadow]

Ig

[earnest loom]

I actually have a 5.1/5.33 but I scaled it down to the 5.0 system lmao

[silver yoke]

My school just groups everyone with a 102 or higher as a 4.6 because we don’t have an actual 4/5.0 system

[frosty meadow]

omg lol

[frosty meadow]

oh

[drifting warren]

My school doesn’t weigh!

[frosty meadow]

Lol same

[earnest loom]

Lol ikr

We have four diff levels

[frosty meadow]

Im just saying my UC Capped weighted gpa rn

[earnest loom]

So it gets messy

[frosty meadow]

Ohhh I see

[earnest loom]

Well idk kind

Kinda

2E, 3/9, 4/AP and 8

[mental fox]

me but vice versa

[coarse current]

neu deferral this year is rumored to be 90%

[earnest loom]

Cap

Plz no

[coarse current]

i’m scared

and the person i heard it from has connections to neu admissions so idek

it’s just as high as georgetown’s😭

[mental fox]

Already deferred from Purdue so I’m prepared already

[drifting warren]

I forgot to withdraw my app. I was also deferred

[upbeat terrace]

where r u getting that info

[native sparrow]

literally right here

[signal pebble]

damn

oof

[upbeat terrace]

ok but like the number one thing that has been said, especially in like the cc forums

is that this thing of like "knowing people w connections that know inside info" is usually not very accurate

i could say the same thing and nobody would know if i was lying or not

[native sparrow]

yeah you're right

[latent tartan]

i have a connection that says we all got in

source: trust me bro

[honest elbow]

LOL

[distant cairn]

im alr in ed2 i switched from ea

[charred ingot]

I have 100% confidence

[drifting warren]

W decision

[wise sierra]

hell yeah

[drifting warren]

Gah damn. 7 acceptances!!?!

[wise sierra]

haha i would say 5 arent very enticing as schools to me now, but i have my reasons for having applied

but at this point basically i am only very interested in two

those being arizona state and minnesota twin cities

my uminn acceptance came today actually haha

[drifting warren]

Wow that’s great news on uminn!! Congrats 😄

Those sound like great initial schools. It’s a relieve to know that you’ve been accepted to a school

[wise sierra]

thank you haha!

i was so relieved today cause i was so scared i wasnt getting into minnesota bro

a very good day

[drifting warren]

I’ve had 2 deferrals so far and obv 1 acceptance (i was too lazy to withdraw the apps in time 💀). I think for me I was more happy that I got into a college rather than I got into my top choice. It really lifts a weight off your shoulders.

[wise sierra]

yess omg

i agree so much

[drifting warren]

Nah. I would be surprised if you didn’t get in. From what I know, you’re a great applicant.

[naive ridge]

def to what schools

[wise sierra]

THANK you aw

i appreciate u man

[drifting warren]

This is embarrassing 🤮🤮 Purdue and Binghamton 🤮 I am not too upset because ik Binghamton only accepts a very small amount ea (I think I’d get accepted rd). Purdue. Well that’s just tough for cs.

[wise sierra]

ah haha youre good bro

purdue cs was crazy asfuck this year

you get deferred first choice? or second choice

[drifting warren]

Yea. I spent 6 weeks doing research with them this summer 💀

[wise sierra]

LOL nice

thats cool

what state are you in?

[drifting warren]

Ngl I forgot what I got deferred for. I think first. So cs

Ny

[naive ridge]

LOL bing def me too😱😱

[wise sierra]

ah nicee

bingbong bingbong

[wise sierra]

oh fire

[naive ridge]

if bing def me i better get into neu just like u lolll

[wise sierra]

loll

why u bu 27 tho

[drifting warren]

Did you apply ea?

[wise sierra]

thats demonstrated disinterest and i stand by it

[naive ridge]

BU & NEU my top

[wise sierra]

hell yeah

u should change username to NEU '27

tbh ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[drifting warren]

Both good schools (I might be biased towards one idk tho.. 🥸)

[wise sierra]

oh i wonder

LOL

[drifting warren]

💀

[wise sierra]

my username isnt indicative of any bias i might have either dw

[naive ridge]

😹😹

[drifting warren]

Lul

[naive ridge]

wait r u a NY resident

i heard for oos (which i am) they don’t accept much of

anyways that deferral had me annoyed lol😭😭

[drifting warren]

Yes I am nyc resident.

It annoyed me too. But ik their ea acceptance rate is very very low for cs

[naive ridge]

yeah i applied for harder major as well

[drifting warren]

But I am very very sure that I’d get in rd. Cope maybe idk

[naive ridge]

ur not withdrawing?

[drifting warren]

Yea I am. But I think I’d get in rd. But yea I still need to withdraw

[naive ridge]

mmm

EA comes out next week

i ED2 to boston tho

[drifting warren]

Ea what?

[naive ridge]

NEU

[drifting warren]

Oh yea right

Why didn’t you do Ed1 bu

[naive ridge]

bc i’m broke & didn’t feel prepared to submit my app

[drifting warren]

I see ok. What’s bu ed2 acceptance rate?

[naive ridge]

we only known for overall ED but it about 33%

[drifting warren]

Ok that’s not bad. That’s doable 100%.

[naive ridge]

praying 🙏

[wise sierra]

gl!

[drifting warren]

🙏 it will all work out trust

[opal breach]

people

what do

do i just leave it?

[earnest loom]

They need official right

[opal breach]

I have no idea tbh

[earnest loom]

“If you choose to submit standardized testing, you may submit the SAT (CEEB Code 3667) ACT (College Code 1880) or both. Northeastern super-scores and will only consider your best score between the two types of tests.”

[opal breach]

there's this too tho:
_If an applicant self-reports their scores through the Application Status Check, official scores must be sent to Northeastern upon submitting their enrollment deposit. _

[earnest loom]

Slay

[coarse current]

it’s mainly for verification and not admissions purposes though

[crystal gorge]

is neu on the 27th as well

im 100% getting deferred

[coarse current]

we’re speculating

[crystal gorge]

yea

fuck 5 decisions on 27

[coarse current]

neu usually doesn’t drop on a friday tho

[crystal gorge]

ohh

hmm

who knows

[coarse current]

it’s a gamble at this point

the less i think about it the better

[violet minnow]

which 5

uiuc

northeastern

???

[crystal gorge]

gtech, uw madison, uiuc, northeastern, umichg

and umd

[violet minnow]

madison confirmed?

[crystal gorge]

yeah

i think

[lusty citrus]

Madison by Jan 31

[violet minnow]

umd confirmed?

[crystal gorge]

yea

i heard from other people on this sevrer at least

[drifting warren]

Ed was a Thursday

[coarse current]

yea it could drop like tuesday-thurs

[languid escarp]

jesus ok

gl

[naive ridge]

of next week ?

[coarse current]

yea next week or week after that

[naive ridge]

def next week

the month ends soon

[coarse current]

the reddit megathread is speculating neu dropping today or next wednesday

[earnest loom]

Today???

Send a link that seems so early to me

What time would it be a

At

[coarse current]

usually 7ET

i’m thinking it’ll drop next wednesday

[earnest loom]

7pm yeesh

Why next Wednesday?

I haven’t heard of any theories

[coarse current]

https://reddit.com/r/ApplyingToCollege/comments/xkgjvq/northeastern_university_early_megathread/

neu ea has dropped on a wedneaday historically for the last 2 years

[earnest loom]

Historically

What if they feel goofy and wanna switch it

[silver yoke]

Quirky

[coarse current]

they probably will

[patent coral]

why would it ever be today 😭😭

i feel like it’ll be on a friday bc they want to be quirky

[coarse current]

the ppl on reddit think so but i doubt it’s today

[coarse current]

i scrolled through their admissions instagram to like 2018 and ea hasn’t been on a friday

[silver yoke]

I think they meant next Wednesday

[patent coral]

yeah but watch it be this year bc it’s so random like that this year

[silver yoke]

Oh nvm, the people in that thread are delusional if they think it’s coming out a whole week earlier than last year

[coarse current]

espeically with the uptick in apps

[coarse current]

ed1 came out within a predicable day but that was ed1 tho

if neu ea drops after the 26th they must’ve gotten a shit ton more ea apps bc they went from 75k apps in 2021 to 91k apps in 2022

[earnest loom]

Next Wednesday makes sense

Defer everyone and make them sad before other schools come out

[coarse current]

it’s the biggest jump out of all the schools in the boston area

[earnest loom]

91????????

HOLY CRAP

[coarse current]

2020 it was 64k

[earnest loom]

Add essays already

[native sparrow]

someone else sent this pic so not sure how accurate it is

[coarse current]

i also saw that floating around tiktok

[native sparrow]

60k seems weird though

cuz thats way lower than before

[coarse current]

it’s 60k ea AND ed

[native sparrow]

like 60k each?

[coarse current]

no in total

pretty sure that number is from the ea/ed1 and maybe ed2 pool

[native sparrow]

Oh wait i'm being stupid this is total apps i was thinking just ea

So yeah 60k makes sense

But also about Wednesday they released ed on a Thursday which was historically on a Wednesday too so i guess they're not entirely stuck to wednesday

[opal breach]

Mm

[rough lark]

if it's today then ig we'll find out in like 10 minutes 😭

[coarse current]

it’s prolly not

[earnest loom]

Istg

Defferals time

[rough lark]

you're right, but let me be delusional in peace

[earnest loom]

Are they out

Lame

[rough lark]

schools not sharing a date for decisions is such a red flag

no fr they do it solely for their own amusement

like a little human experiment

i feel like i've lost enough braincells from ea stress to truly be one atp

[coarse current]

nah it drops at the same time

northeastern be a real one and give us a date like every other school🤩

[dapper hazel]

UMICH doesn’t either 😭😭

[earnest loom]

Its so rude

[earnest loom]

NONE of mine gave dates

[coarse current]

only 3 of mine did

the senioritis is coming in strong i can’t take it

[mental fox]

It’s starting to come in effect

I haven’t done my ap calc hw from the past 4 school days

[earnest loom]

Im sick rn and it’s the best tbh

Much needed break

[coarse current]

after my midterms next week i’m giving up on school

currently writing my english paper and i just cant do it

[mental fox]

Lmao you’re like once mid year report is official, F the second semester

[coarse current]

i have straight a’s rn so i’ll do the bare minimum to maintain that

[mental fox]

Me too

Tho all of them is low to mid 90

[earnest loom]

What’s it on

Im bored rn

[coarse current]

all of mine are mid 90s

[mental fox]

Have chatgpt write it

[coarse current]

angela davis

nah we have to compare this book and 2 texts

[mental fox]

Oof I’m in regular English so there’s never hw

Eh it’s my only class that isn’t AP

[earnest loom]

Lucky

I wish

We have pop essays everyday

[dapper hazel]

I say we all just combine and do nothing

We’re all even then

[coarse current]

this is honors

my english teacher also teaches ap lit and the amount of work that class requires is insane

[mental fox]

rip i heard a lot of ap lit teachers

[charred ingot]

What's good in the hood

[dapper hazel]

When do we find out abt EA

When do we THINK

[coarse current]

we think next wednesday

[dapper hazel]

Damn

Scary times

[silver yoke]

STOP ASKING WHEN DECISIONS COME OUT NOBODY HERE KNOWS JACK ABOUT SHIT

Heh

[wild crescent]

wHeN dO DeCiSioNs COmE ouT?

[odd marlin]

My uncle said tomorrow 😏

[wild crescent]

Chat GPT writes worse than a 4th grader lowkey

[wild crescent]

My uncle said January 32nd 😱

[paper ravine]

This school is unrealistically expensive for me so atp I'm not even that emotionally invested

[mental fox]

true true, also can't solve a simple stoich problem

[odd marlin]

I kind of regret applying, but has a hella low acceptance rate so I'd get bragging rights if I somehow get in

[paper ravine]

do people know northeastern by name now?

I feel like most people know northwestern

[wild crescent]

the funny thing is that I gave chat GPT a difficult physics question and it actually got the process of solving it correct...but it messed up the arithmetic :lmao:

[odd marlin]

I live on the other side of the county and some people do.

[wild crescent]

Internationally, people only know Harvard and MIT

[paper ravine]

:shesliterallyme:

I want nitro :/

[odd marlin]

I guess they were pulling from a sample of AP Physics students then lol

[paper ravine]

interesting, that's new for neu

[earnest loom]

Can u ask a mod to pin this lamp

Lmao

[paper ravine]

Yeah, askphysics forums gets a lot of AP Physics questions

so therefore they stole the explanation off there

[wild crescent]

this server doesn't let you use emotes

:run:

[earnest loom]

🫥

🫠

[paper ravine]

how unfortunate. I had a good one to use

[wild crescent]

[vernal grove]

oh rly? i thought u could

[wild crescent]

from a diff server

[earnest loom]

Jackie

[paper ravine]

[earnest loom]

Dude I’m begging (checked pronouns sorry)

Make a pin that says plz don’t ask abt the decision date

[vernal grove]

[paper ravine]

[wild crescent]

it's funnier when people ask

and yeah

[wild crescent]

no one reads pins before asking :run:

[vernal grove]

[earnest loom]

UR THE BEST

[earnest loom]

But then u just link the pin and make them feel stupid

[wild crescent]

admin

[vernal grove]

[wild crescent]

rn I'm rewatching SAO for the like 90th time... so i gotta recommend the first 15 or so episodes of SAO season 1! And If you can endure season 2 (and the rest of season 1), then alicization is also super good

[coarse current]

teachers grades are due jan 31st so idk why it takes 3 days for grades to get finalized

[wild crescent]

oh sheeesh

[paper ravine]

ty!

[earnest loom]

Ami

Im dumb

What does 3A or 1D mean

Im intrigued

[coarse current]

3 accepted 1 deferred

[wild crescent]

ofc ... glad to impart some anime advice

[wild crescent]

wow nice

[earnest loom]

OHHH ☠️

Gj man

[wild crescent]

lemme change my name

[coarse current]

they’re all safeties tho but still

[paper ravine]

I thought your username said OR like 3 acceptances or 1 defer......I'm so aaaa

[wild crescent]

There we go

I only got into 1 safety so far

[earnest loom]

Updated mine too

[paper ravine]

good 🍀

[coarse current]

i got into all my safeties

[wild crescent]

nice!

Which ones are those

[earnest loom]

Same here

Now all the bad ones 😭

I wish it was sprinkled throughout

[wild crescent]

I'm mainly worried about my targets which are all basically Jan 27

[coarse current]

suffolk college of charleston and temple

[wild crescent]

Oh nice

I have a friend who is interested in temple

i've never heard of suffolk tho tbh

[earnest loom]

I want to say smth abt temple so badly but it’s such an off topic/slightly bad story

Good school tho

[coarse current]

my cousin goes there so she told me lots of stories

i prolly won’t go bc it’s expensive as hell

[earnest loom]

How much

If more than Northeastern

I swear

[coarse current]

idk my aid package from them but like 40k yearly

[earnest loom]

😿

[wild crescent]

damn

[coarse current]

for reference i’m quoted 20k from northeastern

[wild crescent]

sheeeesh

Oh wait i just noticed

[silver yoke]

Smh, privilege

[wild crescent]

the "N" in this thread emoji thing

is the northwestern N

this thing

[dapper hazel]

Sorry 😦

[coarse current]

we’re all losing our minds

[silver yoke]

You should be. 😤

How dare you remind me more that this school exists

[wild crescent]

nah man I'm just jokin

my guess is that it comes out Jan 27

[dapper hazel]

My guess is last week

[wild crescent]

lol

it's already out

and we just never knew

[dapper hazel]

i wish they’d just tell us lol

[wild crescent]

Well they probably don't know themselves

[coarse current]

i don’t think they’re finished with ea decisions

[wild crescent]

yeah

[silver yoke]

Well for most of us they might

[coarse current]

if they did they would’ve told us a date

[wild crescent]

yeah

They get a TON of applications esp bc no essays

[coarse current]

yea 60k ea alone and prolly 3k from ed1

[dapper hazel]

Dam

[coarse current]

last years data

[dapper hazel]

Jesus

[silver yoke]

P2W

Just like the A2C discord server

[wild crescent]

lmfao

i hope I get into NEU

[earnest loom]

Also

[wild crescent]

but tbh my early applications were slightly scuffed

[earnest loom]

My dad thinks neu is easy

[wild crescent]

especially my common app essay

[earnest loom]

He’s convinced I’m getting in 😭

[coarse current]

they said that this year over 60k ppl applied ea and ed alone

[silver yoke]

So they already have ~7k more applicants than last year

For early rounds

Except ed2

[coarse current]

i’m thinking ed went up slightly

but they got a lot more ea apps

[earnest loom]

Probs 59k ea

[coarse current]

yea like 5 years ago

[silver yoke]

President Biden please ban test optional before decisions come out 🙏

I can’t with these acceptance rates

[earnest loom]

President Biden

Do better

Make college decisions great again

[wild crescent]

Last year on common data set

[earnest loom]

plz I love you joe

[wild crescent]

75k applied early (including ED)
13700 got in

[coarse current]

force colleges to release data about all their decisions president biden

[silver yoke]

https://tenor.com/view/cheesesteak-we-did-it-joe-gif-24017839 when we ban TO

[wild crescent]

I forgot a digit

[earnest loom]

ILL NEVER GET OVER THIS

[earnest loom]

Wait that’s not bad

[coarse current]

in general or just early

[silver yoke]

3700**

[coarse current]

neu only has like 16k undergrad

[wild crescent]

18.2% early

[earnest loom]

We did it joe YOURE GONNA BE THE NEXT PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATTTTTES

[silver yoke]

Not 13700

[earnest loom]

Heck yeah

[silver yoke]

I’m ngl

[wild crescent]

here are the numbers

this is inclusive of ED/EA though

[silver yoke]

If you do NUin you’re either rich or crazy

[earnest loom]

No right

[wild crescent]

what's that?

the study abroad thing

[coarse current]

that’s ea/ed/rd

[wild crescent]

?

[silver yoke]

Yeah

To deflate their main campus AR

[earnest loom]

Yay women

[coarse current]

their acceptance rate excludes nuin/nubound

[wild crescent]

oop I'm blind yeah

most colleges have a Early only section

but ig neu doesn't

but that still is good

[silver yoke]

Like yeah, let me just not be on campus for the most important time when it comes to being involved in campus life.

Oh, and let me go abroad while doing so with no finaid

I’m very smart

[wild crescent]

the thing I dislike most about northeastern is like 5 year graduation time

[silver yoke]

And:or very wealthy

[silver yoke]

You can graduate in 4

[wild crescent]

can

[silver yoke]

Most people do

[wild crescent]

but that's like

1 major

and nothing

else

my tour guide was in his 5th year doing only a major and minor lol

[silver yoke]

You can do a combined major with 2 co-ops and graduate in the summer

[silver yoke]

They very much try to avoid people doing this

[wild crescent]

I hope so man

[silver yoke]

Apparently it used to be more common for people to do 3 co-ops in 5 years

[wild crescent]

I've just seen everywhere

that people get madge about graduation delays with NEU bc of the mandatory stuff

[silver yoke]

They’ve pressured people to do 4/2 because it helps their rankings

[wild crescent]

yeah

[coarse current]

wait you don’t get aid for nuin

[silver yoke]

Not really iirc

[earnest loom]

Nyu even worse

[coarse current]

thank god i didn’t ed here

[latent tartan]

if you do 2 co-ops then you basically only pay for 3 years of school right?

so doesnt that make neu cheaper than a lot of other schools

[silver yoke]

You don’t get locked in if they don’t put you in the Boston campus

[silver yoke]

No, you have to take accelerated summer classes

Don’t worry

They’ll still make you pay

😊

[earnest loom]

I mean you can pay off for any school by working

[coarse current]

unless you have enough ap credit to do so

[wild crescent]

btw they won't force you to do NUin unless they only accept you to that, right

[silver yoke]

I wouldn’t wanna take that risk with ED tbh

[latent tartan]

nuin becomes non binding tho

[wild crescent]

I didn't even sign up for it tho so idk why I'm asking

[coarse current]

yea it’s non-binding but i wasn’t 100% sold on northeastern

kid in my grade got in ed but for global scholars

he also got piss poor aid

[latent tartan]

so did he commit?

[coarse current]

no

[silver yoke]

Also sometimes you have to defer your courses for your major to summer, which AP classes won’t cover

[wild crescent]

skullge

[coarse current]

he’s applying to other schools to get better aid

[wild crescent]

man is really tearing apart northeastern in the northeastern chat

[coarse current]

since it’s not binding

[wild crescent]

tldr let's not cope about northeastern

[silver yoke]

I’m trying to cope knowing it’s gonna be unaffordable for me

Let me cook

[wild crescent]

fr

[coarse current]

my other friend got in ea but for nuin last year which gave him like no aid

[wild crescent]

My school is super weird with northeastern... all the smart kids get rejected

[silver yoke]

I really wanted to do ED2 when I toured, until I went home and got my financial pre-review back where it said they’d only give me ~33k/year

[wild crescent]

like top 5% doesn't make it ... but top 25% typically does make it

[coarse current]

what’s funny is that 2 weeks later he got into BU and they gave him a better aid package💀

[coarse current]

for me half the kids who apply get accepted

[naive ridge]

what time does NEU decision come out

[coarse current]

7ET

usually

[silver yoke]

Wdym they already came out

[wild crescent]

damnn

this is my scattergram

[silver yoke]

Remember, NEU was significantly less competitive prior to TO

Like my scattergram is definitely inaccurate

[coarse current]

you can say that about any school tho

[coarse current]

same here

[silver yoke]

Yeah but I NEU is… special.

[wild crescent]

TO?

[silver yoke]

Test optional

[wild crescent]

ah I see

I sent in my test scores so idk if that changes anything

anyways these are my feeling so far:
I'd be HYPED if I got into Northeastern .... but theoretically, i wouldn't want to attend

[silver yoke]

Theoretically that shits gonna be way too expensive

[wild crescent]

do they give merit aid to EA people

or do you have to sign up for scholarships

like write essays or something

[silver yoke]

Merit at NEU takes away from need based so it doesn’t matter

And not really anyways

[wild crescent]

I forgot to do uh

fafsa for here

[silver yoke]

[naive ridge]

noooo NEU comes out when i’m in practice :/

[coarse current]

it’s mainly because people are submitting high test scores

[wild crescent]

so I'm counting on that merit aid :run:

even if I get in

[naive ridge]

i’m gonna b so tempted to open at school

[wild crescent]

the competitiveness?

[wild crescent]

uh we don't know when it comes out

so maybe not

!

[naive ridge]

im nervous

[wild crescent]

fr fr

[naive ridge]

7 pm ET???

im CST

[silver yoke]

I mean

Why would it be in CST 😭

[naive ridge]

ik

[coarse current]

because of TO people usually send in high sat scores so people with low scores don’t send them at all because it usually hurts them

[native sparrow]

My 1180 disagrees 🙏

[naive ridge]

i mean 6 pm CST i’m in practice

[silver yoke]

[coarse current]

they usually drop at 7ET

[wild crescent]

yeah makes sense

[silver yoke]

Ryan

[wild crescent]

northeastern superscores right

[silver yoke]

You chose violence

[silver yoke]

Yes

[wild crescent]

nice

[silver yoke]

But remember not to be too high or they’ll yield protect you 🥰

[wild crescent]

what's too high

[native sparrow]

To be fair though i didnt rlly study for the sat cuz i knew schools were test optional

[wild crescent]

i don't have a 36

[silver yoke]

Then you’re fine

[native sparrow]

If they weren't test optional I would've tried much harder and prob retaken it

[coarse current]

did you submit urs

[drifting warren]

eh i dont think they would

[native sparrow]

hell no

that would prob be an instant reject

[drifting warren]

they already have such high "requirements"

[coarse current]

i didn’t submit mine at all

[wild crescent]

im guessing you ED'd right

[coarse current]

my 1300 would be insta reject

[silver yoke]

I feel like some people do, just because their yield rate is abysmal (maybe don’t give people shit aid and this won’t be a problem but whatever…)

[wild crescent]

i think my ACT scores without superscore would be an insta reject :lmao:

[drifting warren]

i didnt submit

[wild crescent]

capitalism man capitalism

gotta make money

and exploit

[drifting warren]

true!

[coarse current]

don’t they have a relatively small endowment

[drifting warren]

ill give them my $ for this

[wild crescent]

pog

that's pretty

[silver yoke]

PRESIDENT AOUN SAYS ITS PERFECTLY AVERAGE AND MOST STUDENTS WONT NOTICE THE DIFFERENCE

[native sparrow]

i would say so

[silver yoke]

They’ll pay 80k and they’ll like it

[native sparrow]

neu is 1.4b and bu is 3.4b

[silver yoke]

Ngl I really liked Boston as a city but it’s skyline is kinda pathetic

[wild crescent]

Ok the thing is

Apparently

you can take classes at MIT if you want

not sure if NEU accepts those credits

but like

👀

you can also do research at MIT

as an NEU student

[honest elbow]

NEU has cross registration with mit?

[coarse current]

^^

[wild crescent]

That's what my MIT interviewer told me

[native sparrow]

i did not know about that

[coarse current]

ik harvard and wellesley do

[silver yoke]

http://catalog.mit.edu/mit/graduate-education/other-institutions/

Yeah nah

[wild crescent]

that's the graduate education

[honest elbow]

I thought only Harvard had that relationship, interesting. I’m not surprised about research at neu due to the local proximity

[wild crescent]

stuff

[wild crescent]

Maybe it was only one way for MIT students to do it at all these schools... but the way my interviewer phrased it, it seems like it's not one way

[silver yoke]

https://registrar.northeastern.edu/article/cross-regestration-agreements/

Found it

You can cross register at BC

But that’s basically not in Boston

[honest elbow]

Ah I see

[coarse current]

chestnut hill technically has some parts of boston in it

[mossy prawn]

is it bad I forgot I applied here

[drifting warren]

no. because they have 0 supps so its easy to forget

[naive ridge]

if NEU comes out when i’m at practice and i open it at practice and i get rejected i’ll cry

[silver yoke]

Dw, statistically speaking they’ll defer you (and like 90% of everyone else) so you can go through the whole process again when RD decisions come out

[naive ridge]

thank god🙏

so it’s either deferred or accepted

[silver yoke]

I mean

[naive ridge]

i can live w that

[silver yoke]

There’s always a chance…

[naive ridge]

true

[wild crescent]

where are the numbers for acceptance/denial/deferral?

[drifting warren]

for EA deferral will likely be 80+ this year. Also id bet that theres a higher acceptance rate than rejection

idk i might be wrong actually

[silver yoke]

According to people on Reddit that means your odds of getting in are >50%

[drifting warren]

LOL

[wild crescent]

i prolly should've said yes to at least one lol

[latent tartan]

i said yes to the first 2

but tbh i probably wouldnt do it

boston or bust

[coarse current]

idk my answers tbh

[sterile coral]

when does neu come out

?

[rough lark]

not this again

[azure compass]

💀

[earnest loom]

I gotchu

[earnest loom]

Here

[sterile coral]

cool

[charred ingot]

HeY GuYs Do YoU KnOw WhEN tHe DeCiSiOn Is CoMiNg OuT?🤓🤓🤓

[drifting warren]

FUCKKK I HAVE A CALC 2 FINAL IN 11 hours

Guess what

I literally did 0 studying

[charred ingot]

I wish you luck

🤖🤖🤖

[drifting warren]

🙏

[patent coral]

me!!!

[safe moss]

I really don’t get it bc I just checked the cds and their yield is like 30%

Like fr thats nothinggg

[fresh lichen]

they're even bad at yield protecting smh

[bright thunder]

Me. Didnt do nearly enough demonstrated interest to get accepted

[earnest loom]

Ugh me too

[fresh lichen]

bro

i applied cuz no essays

[violet minnow]

same

lmao

[safe moss]

Same 🫡🫡

[wise sierra]

The problem with my interest is that they cant see any of it

[fresh lichen]

the problem with my interest is I have none

and thought CS and neu could be easy

👍

[viscid marsh]

Y’all are getting yield protected?

[coarse current]

yield protected from northeastern is crazy💀

[viscid marsh]

I’m just gonna get a straight up rejection

6.7% acceptance rate

[coarse current]

that’s for the boston campus tho

[viscid marsh]

Wait which one did you apply to

[silver yoke]

Gotta justify getting rejected by any means

Cope goes crazy

[coarse current]

my pref is boston but i also did nuin/global scholars

[viscid marsh]

Ohhh I see that’s cool

[coarse current]

if i get nuin i’ll consider it but prolly not nubound

[silver yoke]

What’s nubound again

[coarse current]

global scholars

one semester in london one in oakland

[silver yoke]

O

[coarse current]

too much change for global scholars

like one semester in london, another on oakland, back in boston for sophomore year and i leave for co-op so i feel like i wouldn’t have time to establish myself😭

[naive ridge]

NEU NEXT WEEK!!

[stable sparrow]

where did they say that?

[silver yoke]

Before February 1st and they won't release on a weekend.

[rough lark]

i have a feeling they're going to do it on a weekend just out of spite

just cuz

[bright thunder]

Northeastern scholarships max out at 28k but can go above that with natl merit, right?

I've seen old things of people with 40k+ scholarships

[silver yoke]

Yeah but from what I've heard those merit scholarships are pretty damn rare.

[bright thunder]

I'm guaranteed something for natl merit but unless I get like $30k+ it's not a good option for me. Whatever I'm gonna get deferred anyway 😭

If I get some higher offers from other schools I could maybe negotiate something decent too

[silver yoke]

You really can't leverage other schools offers. It's either they'll give it to you (additional aid) or they won't.

[coarse current]

it depends on the school

if i even get in i doubt i’ll get much in merit aid bc my safeties are being stingy as hell so i’m relying on need-based aid

[silver yoke]

NEU is stingy as hell. They'll either give you more aid or tell you to pound sand.

[shut prawn]

hello

[violet minnow]

olleh

[shut prawn]

does NEU defer EA

since the release date is so late

[silver yoke]

Wdym?

[mental fox]

pls be no

[shut prawn]

since they only release EA by feb 1, would they defer anyone from EA into the RD pool or will they just outright accept / reject

[silver yoke]

They defer almost everyone

[mental fox]

bruh

[earnest loom]

Yes

[mental fox]

why if they don't even accept more like half in rd

[shut prawn]

well then 🫡 looks like im riding the defer -> reject pipeline

[violet minnow]

me too

with usc

[coarse current]

same 🤩

[languid escarp]

r they rejecting people in EA?

or just defer

[coarse current]

they reject people ea

not that many people tho

[hazy dragon]

Not right nexdoor, tufts is near Davis sq on the redline. While Brandeis is on the commuter rail, one could take commuter rail to Porter and one stop on readline/ short bike ride to Davis or they could take BranVan to Harvard and redline from there

[patent coral]

a uchicago 2.0

😭

[dreamy field]

Does anyone know the earliest ed2 decisions come out?

[leaden wharf]

Green line too, so if they want less walking they could go to north station and just green line up to Medford/Tufts

[drifting warren]

next wednesday?

or thurs

[coarse current]

to get to northeastern from tufts yea as you need to go through boston to get to brandeis

[drifting warren]

ehhh idk

[wise sierra]

well

its certainly more likely than accept 💀

[coarse current]

for boston campus yea rates are low as hell

but for global scholars/nuin as well it’s a decent chance (i’ll say ~15% or so)

[drifting warren]

nu in yes but idk about GS. the cohorts are usually small-ish.

[coarse current]

idk but either way the total acceptance rate is higher than the official one

[drifting warren]

for sure

actually yea 15% would make sense.

[crystal gorge]

do u guys thinkm it's coming out today

[silver yoke]

#1050655555410206740 message

[safe moss]

Omg if it does that would be soooo nice

Another decision out of the way

[coarse current]

doubt it bc they def had an increase in ea apps fs

[rotund mason]

northeastern haha you’re so sexy release this week

[delicate hawk]

wait what day

[rotund mason]

idk

when they’re releasing

i just hope it’s this coming week

preferably sunday bc that’s closest to now

[patent coral]

LMAOO

same

[rough lark]

nah they're gonna release next wednesday

[coarse current]

my finals are next week🤠

[lusty citrus]

Same

[coarse current]

wedneaday i’m taking my most important finals neu pls don’t reject me i will crumble 😍

[safe moss]

That’s so random 😭 I would have thought Friday

[coarse current]

decisions pattern historically

[latent tartan]

Omg ED2 has been early Feb… that’s scary

[drifting warren]

^ ED2?

sorry i meant you applied ed2?

[latent tartan]

I did

[drifting warren]

ok thats great

[latent tartan]

I’m nervous lol

Hoping a 1530 and good essay carries me

[drifting warren]

it will all work out

[safe moss]

Super interesting ty! Now ik when to be refreshing my email like every hour

tbh tho I’m not getting in I fully showed zero demonstrated interest apart from the fact that I applied💀

[mental fox]

So the 25th? According to the patterns

[latent tartan]

I toured and I’m doing a virtual info session next week.. kinda worried that’s too late if ED2 really comes out first week of feb

[languid escarp]

northeastern next wednesday?

[safe moss]

What time are we thinkin that it comes out?

[languid escarp]

4pm

[safe moss]

Yuh most probably

[languid escarp]

rolling

[safe moss]

Nooo not rolling 🥲🥲

Oh well

[languid escarp]

@safe moss

[safe moss]

praying for 4pm so that I don’t look like a rat at midnight filming my reaction video

[drifting warren]

i didnt do one. prob a good thingg

idk i had 0 reaction lol

[mental fox]

If it’s geographically, I’m in the est zone so 4

[safe moss]

what if I’m intl from the UK? I’m assuming that would be near last no?

[coarse current]

prolly 9-10pm ur time

[safe moss]

Some of my reactions r so dead tho like why was I more excited about Colorado college than Tulane💀

[drifting warren]

CC is great 🙂

[lone linden]

i hope i dont get a decision on my bday i dont want to ruin my day 😀

[safe moss]

Don’t open it if it’s on your bday! Wait till the next day 💯

[lone linden]

💯 💯

[coarse current]

real💯

thinking about waiting for both northeastern and umass to come out for me to experience the ultimate copium😵‍💫🙏

[lone linden]

i hope they're on the same day tbh

tired of the uncertainty

[ashen elk]

when does northeastern come out?

[lone linden]

idk if there's an exact date but people have been speculating next wednesday

[ashen elk]

aight

[patent coral]

next wednesday is so far away 😭😭😭

[safe moss]

Frrr like just release it alr😤

[shut prawn]

im not even that stressed abt this decision bc i alrdy know it'll be a defer at best

cus i only did a tour i didnt do any crazy demonstrated interest & my CA was pretty mid

[earnest loom]

Me too

But application process is so random

[coarse current]

i toured and did a few virtual info sessions but that’s it

[silver yoke]

You’re most likely fine NEU takes hella people ED

Plus ED literally is the demonstrated interest

[earnest loom]

Preach

I’m screwed on the other hand

I just spam social media

[coarse current]

wait riley what other school did you get into

[silver yoke]

Idk if social media even works. Like I doubt the AOs have an actual way to look

[coarse current]

^

[drifting warren]

DI is more like tours and info sessions

[silver yoke]

Plus would you even want them to have access to your social media even if they somehow had a way to@match you?

[coarse current]

i doubt it does

i don’t think AO’s generally have the time to hunt for applicants social media profiles, but especially not at schools where they’re receiving 80-90k+ apps

i don’t use my real name on discord and i don’t have anything bad my instagram

[native sparrow]

Supposedly just opening emails helps with DI as well since they have embedded trackers

[shut prawn]

i'd like to go to NEU but im not expecting anything

[native sparrow]

Although I haven't really gotten many emails from neu compared to other schools

[shut prawn]

its another "do ED to get in" school

[coarse current]

i think schools know when you log into the portal and check emails but neu doesn’t send much emails

[earnest loom]

Villanova!

[earnest loom]

Lmao yeah that’s why I’m screwed

I do website a lot too

[coarse current]

oh congrats!

[earnest loom]

Thanks!

I love their business school

[hazy dragon]

But then how do you get from green to commuter rail… No one wants to spend that long on there

[coarse current]

to go from brandeis to boston you take the brandeis commuter rail stop and go all the way to north station to get to the green line that takes you to neu

[hazy dragon]

The green line is so fucking slow cause we were talking about tufts

I’m a green line hater

Orange and Red only

[coarse current]

tufts to neu?

you can go to north station and switch to orange line to get to ruggles but you either have to take commuter or green line to get there

[hazy dragon]

Nvm

Way earlier question in thread

[leaden wharf]

north station for those lines. to get to south transfer to red at park st.

[leaden wharf]

its better for me to take green to downtown than to walk to davis and take the red

[hazy dragon]

I 🥰 Davis

[olive kettle]

When does northeastern come out

[fast kraken]

By Feb 1st

[safe moss]

People are speculating Wednesday with rolling admission

[fresh lichen]

historically been before 28 so?

[violet minnow]

ya boi applied rd so

f

[opal breach]

You never know what'll happen

[gaunt crest]

Good luck yall with decisions!! Also if u r scared abt demonstrated interest just relax a little bit, I had literally 0 and it still worked out.

[coarse current]

did you ed tho?

[silver yoke]

EA or ED

[gaunt crest]

EA!!

[earnest loom]

May I ask what major you’re doing

Plz not cs

[gaunt crest]

It’s in fact cs and math 😭 but they don’t admit by major

[earnest loom]

😞

Lmao yeah I just wanted to ask abt business there no worries

[gaunt crest]

Oh yea tbh Idk a lot abt business here, I’ve heard generally good things tho

[silver yoke]

NEU is a private school

Do you mean like did they live in Mass before applying?

Yeah that doesn’t matter for private schools

[coarse current]

^^

[silver yoke]

They don’t give you any advantage (sometimes they give you scholarship if you’re in the surrounding city though)

Yeah, only public schools do that

Because they’re funded by the states

[coarse current]

the only advantage is that if ur a mass resident and valedictorian at a public high school you can go to Northeastern tuition free

[violet minnow]

Southwestern Universitah

You are literally a rice cake

Mb sorry

I love them

[coarse current]

nah it prolly helps slightly if you are from an underrepresented region

[violet minnow]

Rice balls can speak!

[native sparrow]

Damn I wish I was valedictorian

[silver yoke]

Can’t wait to get deferred 🥰

[earnest loom]

(Def did for Villanova)

Shush you’ll get in

[coarse current]

oh wow maybe i do stand a chance

[shut prawn]

maybe the last two years of working after school will finally come in useful

[earnest loom]

Right

25-50 hr work weeks better pay off

[shut prawn]

my application is very academic heavy so im just crossing my fingers and PRAYING

[silver yoke]

I’m pretty balanced IMO. Good test scores though so I hope that helps

I mean I most likely can’t afford here it regardless so 🤷‍♂️

That’s how I’m trying to view my reaches if I get rejected

[violet minnow]

Average test scores and grades. Amazing ECs and good essays

Idk much about northeastern

Just that it seems hella cool

[coarse current]

mid grades and test scores but good essays and ec’s gang🥰🥰

[wise sierra]

MFs be like I GOT GOOD ESSAYS

bitch don't you mean essay

no supps lifestyle 🤪

northeastern gang 🤙

my profile is funny LOL i have shit grades, good SAT, and i think good ECs and essays

but whatevetreferf we cope 💪

[earnest loom]

Good test scores and grades, good ec’s and volunteer work and work experience, but no demonstrated interest

Essays too but not here

[wise sierra]

i honestly dont think NEU is worth full pay

like its an amazing school but its really not worth 90k a year

[coarse current]

that’s my app theme in general

[violet minnow]

I wrote the extraordinary circumstances essay too

[wise sierra]

okay SHEESH

ko out here breaking the system

[earnest loom]

Agreed

[wise sierra]

yepp

[earnest loom]

I have the money for it

[shut prawn]

agreed

[earnest loom]

But not worth it

[shut prawn]

i do not have the money for it so idek why im hoping i get in

[earnest loom]

Any school over 80k better be ivy level imo

[wise sierra]

honestly

[violet minnow]

Cough Cough usc

[wise sierra]

im super uncomfortable with my parents blowing 80k+ on a school

prestigious or not

its not gonna happen cause i wont get into any

but still yk

[earnest loom]

I’m only comfortable knowing that I’d pay them back once I get rich

Bc I feel bad lmao

[shut prawn]

i submitted good test scores & i have a good GPA w rigor so idk we'll see how it goes

[wise sierra]

THATS TWO OF US
