it’s #44
Have they released decisions for all EA applicants? I'm aware of the by Feb 1 date, but am seeing a lot about other people's results and was wondering
According to??
us news
no
T50 is whatever you think it is!
do you go to asu
Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise
harvard ranks number 20 for cs and they have a >4% acceptance rate
uiuc acceptance rate is like 60% but their cs is t5
with a 6.7% rate
university of arizona just captured the first picture of a black hole and has a t10 space science program with heavy merit scholarships and their honors dorms are basically apartments, it’s phenomenal
their acceptance rate? 85%
don’t judge based off of acceptance rates
high acceptance rate =! bad program
Yep it is. You’re wrong 🤩 besides the price, everything is amazing
It’s all subjective
no, literally NASA. UofA is the forefront of planetary sciences, space optics, and space science research
also UofA isn’t ASU
Kind of
it’s also based on fit as well
^^
UofA has a massive mirror lab under their football field
My dad went to UoA 🤩
UofA is freaking awesome and i’m glad to have it as a safety rn
It’s a great school tbh
their grad program acceptance rate for astrophysics is 7%
Beautiful location and campus
for example MIT has a goated CS program but i would turn it down for a lower ranked program because i hate the culture at MIT
y’all miss out on good schools by judging by acceptance rates
prestige ≠ acceptance rate
the competitiveness?
Yea also low acc rate ≠ good school lol
yea i’d rather go to a lower ranked cs program that isn’t hella competitive than MIT bc prestige isn’t everything
it’s based on program
case western reserve 🤡
case jail!
you gonna go to harvard for cs lmao
northeastern
Yea neu isn’t #1 in anything but it’s #30 something for cs and that’s more than enough for me.
6.7% rate last year
you can cross register with MIT tho
sorry chip
Also it just fits me
still 20min transit by bus and it’s hard to go back and forth
what is the cs rate
like i go to a competitive high school i don’t want that experience in college
yea ik
but unless cost and fit isn’t an issue i doubt someone would turn down harvard over their state school
yea gpas are inflated hella
one of the reasons it’s so good for grad and med school
aint no way, we dont have a username yet
broo this shits so messy
not a legit site
any updates ?
looks fake as shit
nada
No don’t use the myneu thing
It’s an outdated hub
I think
Just wait till I get accepted
Did anyone that got the email did not get their decision?
what email @tiny wren
The account creation
um what
tf
surprisingly you can switch to ea2 by feb 1
*ed2
doesn’t ed2 come out like next week
u can still switch?
wait how do i switch
💀
ill gladly ed
LMFAOO
did u?
oh wait thats regular decision thats why
yeah
don’t they accept like no one rd
Email: no
i cant switch cuz i eaed
um not sure
i think if i get deferred i can switch to ed2
they get a majority of their class from ed and then like the last 25% from ea and rd
i don’t want to switch to ed2 because i’d probably get in
i forgot to select finaid
*submit
you still can
unless you didn’t indicate it in ur app
i did
i also indicated i was a national scholar
they can still put u in GS anyway
so they should give me money for that
They still assign you to the international study even if you said no I think
i dont know how it works but you could possibly let them know you would not like to be considered for global scholars things
wait so if i said no
and they put me in global scholars
let’s say i switched to ed2
would they break the contract for me
Wait that's a good question actually
it’s only binding if you get into your first choice
If you ed2 Northeastern and said no, can they not put you in Global Scholar?
doesn’t like almost nobody get in boston campus
they can but it’s not binding
people get in but primarily ed applicants
wouldn’t it make more sense to put ed2 no nu.in or global scholar
and then they’d break the contract
ik someone who got in ed boston campus
and put you in them anyway
apply ed2 saying you want boston campus
i think i put that as my first choice
if u don’t get in boston campus the contract is broken
let me check
r they out
do you think it would be a good idea to switch to ed2 knowing i probably wont get in boston
and have them break the contract for me?
it’s only binding IF you get into boston campus
id say ed2 if u really want to go
the contract is automatically broken if you get into nuin/goofball scholars scholars
do have any other top picks youre applying too?
yeah
do you think i’d get in boston with my stats

id suggest ed2ing a different college that is your top pick if you're not passionate about northeastern
i was going to switch to jhu ed2 but their aid is awful
i didn’t ed anywhere bc aid is like never guaranteed
neu need-based aid isn’t great either
thats why i need to back out 😭
what about merit or scholarships youve applied to
i’m p much looking for places with good finaid + merit aid
or just top schools with good finaid
youre way overqualified for neu
ik someone who got nothing from neu despite their family only making 100k and 3 siblings who are in college already
..deserve a better college than this miss rn
😭 i literally got flat out rejected gt
they just flat out rejected me
UMD flat out rejected me too and i was shocked LMAO
i haven’t been flat out rejected anywhere yet
maybe northeastern will be my first flat out rejection 😍
I toured and I thought it was fine
maybe they just realized ur too good
only my safeties came out
i thought i was very on par with vassar stats and i was flat out rejected ed2, i know it's a very different school but literally college decisions are very random
i'm scared for my reaches
whats your first dub
Insane wtf 😭
my only W’s are safeties
i’m in the process of updating all of my colleges rn because i didn’t put that im literally the forefront of educational policy research in my state and presenting to my state’s senators to bring us national
…
Mf
huh?
i’m scared bc i did BU ed2 and my stats r mid compared to them 💀
who tf are they posting too
the people who they sent out their stuff to yesterday
lmao
chile only like 20 people got decisions back
huh
Can I get in NEU w my stats?
3.2 UW, 1080 SAT
extracurriculars:

apcsa student
no ik that but no one today lmao
yes
Yayy
this is pretty good you should get into oakland
you can buts an uphill batte
my friend struggled to even fully fill out with the common app activities section bc they've barely done stuff and had like a normal gpa and got into umich ea (asian doing business w no business ecs LOL) yet i know my valedictorian friends who got deferred, it's so random so have hope
if you have an upward trend or circumstances then it does help
I’ll be honest. This is very low compared to their averages but it’s always worth trying
this week and next finna break me fr
is it too late to apply to umich?
No
nah it’s due feb 1
how long r the supps
my make or break week is feb 15 (UVA & vt)
felt but with BU
the thing i rlly hate is that my friends are getting into colleges with like 0 ecs and half of what i have on my plate calling my activities subpar and not impressive bc i’ve gotten in like nowhere yet 😭😭
i know BU ed2 is super competitive but i also know their admissions are very holistic from what i've seen with people i know so i truly hope that it works out! if not, you will still end up where you will succeed <3 i wish you sm luck
your time will come j be patient
like my self esteem is in the trash bc im basically being told don’t even try to get into a t20 ur profile is barely good enough for t100
and i go to a really uncompetitive school
if i get rejected there my next option is barnard or brandeis 💀💀
felt
yeah ngl when that one friend who barely did anything got into umich and i got rejected from vassar (ED!!!!.....) 20 min later i was like What the actual hell is life.
simultaneously this and “you’re going to get into columbia or cornell”
like bruh
kinda relate
💀
my next top school is barnard omg!!!! hahaha
Is this the uni with the most rizz
do u live in mass, bc this sounds like the college list of like 20 ppl ik
exactly
yea
i need to be in a city
what's your major?? just out of curiosity
i’m not entirely mad i got rejected from gt bc my friend whose entire common app is international activities & awards got deferred for AE
Astrophysics most places
I applied math + physics for NEU
my schools valedictorian's sat is like 1380
ohhhh that's such a cool major, good luck!
and she got into harvard
wow
ty!
that’s crazy, hoping that’s me tbh 😭
test op goes crazy
test op does go crazy
that's awesome omg good for her!!
my hs is largely uncompetitive but there’s a small pocket of students who r like ivy bound
there’s probably 3 students who are ivy bound
mine is relatively competitive i think? i'm not sure
one who actually got into an ivy, then me and my friend
her ecs r ab the same level of kids who go to competitive schools
Did anyone get results today?
out of 300 seniors only like 60ish wanna apply to t50’s
yeah mine aren’t rlly but i hope the rural hs thing pulls through
✨
currently we have three ivy bound students + handful of top school acceptances, i'd say we're competitive but like it doesn't feel like it
That’s how I was able to get into neu lol. My Act was low
manifesting it for you ✨
the rest go to state schools or don’t even go to college at all
i don’t live in a rural area tho
@native sparrow did u get aid and how did it compare to ur efc
it probably doesn't feel competitive to me though bc i'm one of the only english majors hahaha
are my stats ok? 3.9 GPA, TEST OPT. + applying no aid

and i feel like really worried I'm gonna get slaughtered for rd
yeah i think your ecs are really good
..
trust me the overlap between a2c and chance me is insane
the trauma bond this thread has 🥰🥰
fr
Eh. The vast majority of NEU is top 10% of their class and the avg test score is a 34. There no real overqualified tbh
like 20 kids form my hs go to neu each year
ok
oh ya my school doesnt do ranking
yeah def NEU is one of my reaches still
IMO think of it this way: you got excellent grades by studying a ton and working hard. you put yourself out there and impacted your community, bettered yourself and others, and so so much more. whether your top schools will care i obviously can't tell you, but you are more than a yes/no to an institution and your application reflects that! you will do amazing things because you've already done amazing things; you know how to apply yourself :) don't stress too much (easier said than done i know)
i didn’t submit my test score bc it was under median
AWW THIS IS SO SWEET
a fellow astrophysics enjoyer
tbf both of my parents are immigrants who came to the US after college (my dad did do a masters thing at NYU though) so they're rly unfamiliar with this stuff and rely sm on reddit and other socials for info
same
never forget that you are only a living ball of flesh that has no real significance in the universe or even the world
OFC!! i love giving college pep talks because i need them just as much as the next kid
Bro so some people already got into northeastern?
none of my parents went to college in the us as well!!!!!
what the fuck are u okay
stressed about college apps? watch everything everywhere all at once.
Yeah like NEU is a target for no one lmao
idt my parents know what reddit is
hell yeah brother
my mom discovered it from quora 😭
i remember this kid on those decision reaction vid applied to neu as a safety
💀💀
my mom asked me the other day "i'm trying to sign up for this site called college confidential but it isn't working, can you help"
fastest no i've ever said
NOOO
neu is my safety!! 🤓🤓🤓 harvard is my target!! my reach is ball state university 🥴
This
my fav thing is that i have the quizlet plus and chegg shit and all my friends use my account LMAO
paying the subscriptions so we can all get answers
i think the avg test score is a 34 because only 42% of the class submitted a test score 💀
Wait didn’t some people get an email that they got in
if i had a chegg subscription i think i'd cause world domination
quizlet plus 😡 i hate quizlet for doing that
no 🙂
I KNOW
NAHHH
Bro there’s two kids in my school who said they did

I mean just think about it. Everything that is important to you and all of those memories that you have are just electrical signals locked up in a skull which is most definitely not impenetrable. And honestly it brings up the question if we are really intelligent beings because real ones would accept both this and the fact that their timeline means absolutely nothing
Yea
CARRD USER
then tjeyre in nu in
Huh
some of your ECs are really unique! i think you def have a chance :) you've achieved many impressive things
i CAN think about it, but i could just NOT and go eat some tofu...
and be HAPPY...
y’all getting the opportunities to do internships is so lucky fr
tysm my imposter syndrome is getting to me
my aunt being NJ governor's assistant ❤️
my only internship was virtual and not even related to my major 🤩

central 💀
shut up with this bum central shit
central jersey is not real nice try
we're both central this is crazy
EPISODE????
oh unfortunately it is real
wdym?
Need at least 1 question with 2 choices.
central is so real.
no it is not
i didn’t put it like that on my app but i had a whole following on episode freshman year of hs
its not real
I have not sent a single message here
no slander for imaginary places
react is a library used to make sites, facebook and other big apps use it
Lmaoooo
anyone from maryland, virginia, delaware 😀
that’s so cool
im from north
central nj aka the home of america's sweetheart university <3 (princeton)
below mercer and middlesex is south everything else is north
delaware isnt real bro
oh never heard of it
lived there my freshman year
u sure
it was not it
yes

So there’s still chance to get in if we didn’t get that email on Friday right
I am sure
i haven’t done any coding in months and i should prolly start 🥰
I live in PA bro people think we dont have a coastline but we definitely do
midlothian 804 area
ah okok
I would do a chance me but I have an irrational fear of sharing my extracurriculars w strangers 🫶
you arent real
I am REAL
nope
bruh.
can you chance me? i am trying to keep it short so you don't dox me.
ec: president of the united states (2020-present)
me = real
me = delaware
hence
delaware = real
you arent real
what
rejected
i shared the fact that i wrote episode stories over quarantine with discord strangers and it’s gonna get me in somewhere!??
🐈
😭 idk I’m not ashamed of my ec’s or anything
they are kind of basic though
nobody here is going to doxx you unless you commit then boast about other acceptances
i only put most of this ec’s on my ed2/rd apps
also if you don’t have anything government related they can’t doxx you
4 years manager in family restaurant (nonpaid obv), tutoring 40+ students, self learn to program/about hardware, NHS, badminton, fbla, and 2 summer programs got me into Umich
even with my gov stuff nobody can’t rlly do shit to me
very cool
not doxxing concerns either.. I guess just someone associating me with my activities gives me weird vibes
not exactly sure why I’m hesitant
working is literally my whole personality
my whole personality is
were there any decisions that came out today?
trolling
❤️
aight
at least not me
ik one of fire's ecs 
I would only tell ec’s to ppl who I’ve actually talked to on discord

kk

oh yeah I'm also an AP scholar but isn't everyone
ea
defer cuz of yield protection 😆
bro made his own coding language
sorry i go to a STEM magnet i have a very distorted perception
it was like a really simple one
average stem magnet kid
kidding kidding
i’m just hating bc i have beef with a stem magnet upstate
i woulda believed even if you didn't say kidding
no way neu yields me
me when i go to a normal public school
I got into UMich with half as good of stats except my GPA. You will be fine other than yield protection.
i was just tryna be nice 😙
same
magnets are technically public
gt yield protected me
yes way u prob applied to way better schools right
half the kids only go our state school
no harm done
🤨
I'm in state for gt and they deferred me
well yeah
the u mass amherst?
oh were you the cs kid
but not much better
you were the cs kid
how r ur essays…
oh my gosh not chance me 💀
ehhhhhhh alright
U have amazing stats so the only problem I could see is recs or essays
i have good recs but idk about my essays
wasn't there just personal statement
I'm an alright writer but i tend to ramble
Only problem I see is that you have so many different interests that there really isn't a big spike, you're just a "well rounded" candidate.
well its only ur common app so
sorry no chance
prove me wrong though
neu didn't even require essays except the commonapp though
Forget imposter syndrome in college, I feel it right here with all these chanceme
omg hi levy
ik my stats are good i just hear people with 4.8 gpas
heyy
W vids
chance me for harvard 😄
college impostor syndrome is reall
GPAs are relative to the school. My weighted GPA is 4.1 because our school's weighting system is weird, but we are a top school in the state and I'm in the top 5% of the class.
thanks mind considering to be in one of my videos where i expose magnus for cheating against hans(i found new evidence that hans didn't cheat!)
talking ab to the other schools they got def from
id say you have a good chance. but yk the college admissions process
Can’t wait 😭
oh ok
wow
future harvard admit!!
val is around 4.8 at my school every year

and we don't rank
Gotcha, then you're doing good.
!!
It depends on how you fit into their "class shaping"
yea one of the girls i was hanging out with co oped at Tesla Amazon and like somewhere else like that and I’ve never felt so inferior 😭
felt so bad. I got rejected from my ED school and thought I was just a loser. I still cannot believe I got accepted somewhere in general
FAX
Lots of interesting articles on kids getting denied because they didn't fit in the "unique class shaping" portion of the committee process
admissions imposter syndrome is bad
hikaru you gotta send me your frank sinatra playlist
This too
yeah that's the part that hurts. you don't know if it was you or them.
I’m so sorry to hear that. Ik for ivy day it took me a WHILE to get over that. if it helps ppl r in the same boat, literally at orientation me and my roommate had a heart to heart abt not feeling good enough bc of admissions
picked the wrong year to be born
LOL i don't have a separate playlist jus for our boy frank
To save myself some tears, I applied to none 😎
wonder if i should have put that i started a band as an ec
Exactly, all you can do is show who you are as much as you can in your app.
the way i think abt it is like, ecs are important but some people with stellar ecs have shit essays and vice versa so you just have to play up your strengths
it’s still okay bcs I applied ED2 And got over it much more than I’d thought lol. L fartmourh
bro my playlist is like 75% kanye its kinda sad
cant change the past
Activities and essays are definitely so so so important, so you have to make sure that both are equally very well written
Ik two ppl at Dartmouth and they’re both assholes if it helps
U don’t want to be there anyway u r too good
Interview can also be pretty pivotal if it goes quite well and you're a memorable candidate
hmmmm lol
TUFTS FTW never met a mean Tufts student
true
Tufts students r cool
yep most important approval
this is going to sound weird but, my school is so ungodly uncompetitive and in such an underfunded (75% poverty rate) area that’s it’s unheard of to relatively have anyone with near my ecs applying
i feel like at colleges where i can’t incorporate them into an essay, provide a secondary LOR, or some sort of proof they exist, i get sussed out and probably rejected just for that
Can also help you if you really stick out
Can be advantageous
it could help you but it could also really hurt you
it’s advantageous but only if they believe it
going to a super uncompetitive school honestly makes it easier to stand out and I thank god I live in small town Oklahoma for that
this is a bad mindset. I think u should look at ur ecs as an extreme positive, that’s huge to rise above the standard for ur area. just make sure ur descriptions sound believable
aren't teacher recs and counselors rec for that though
That's what the School Report is for.
my highschool is not good whatsoever, and my counselor told me it will hurt me in admissions
but stay positive
if anything it’ll help. if colleges see that those around you are unmotivated/don’t go very far in life they’ll see you as a “diamond in the rough”
at schools where I can submit 3 LORs, I can submit a LOR from the director of my state’s higher ed dept to verify my research + a supplemental letter from SSP verifying that
and i can talk about my work in essays and stuff, but if i don’t get the chance to do so, it kinda just kills me because my hs isn’t known and not as credible for that reason
nah if you have that. i think you're fine. you have differentiated yourself much better than you would at a competitive school with resources
it could argue both ways but understanding the colleges and how they do rank highschools, it could potentially harm you if looking at similar applicant with a known competitive school
my teachers touch on my activities, but they make it sound like i walk on water, and they mention my activities at their very face value in comparison to how i do in their class and stuff
yea or boston
the whole narrative they strung together for me is “she is extremely smart, and does so much shit that we don’t know how she balances it but she does it so well”
a lot go to public schools in the south (utk, clemson, uofsc, etc.)
but it’s not like they’re applying for super competitive programs tho
but idk i feel like it makes my stuff look really not that credible
most seniors only take precalc😭😭
thats why i dont like how theyre portraying wokism to be so helpful meanwhile colleges still follow a system where they evaluate the student via highschool's reputation for colleges as well, it harms a lot of top students in admissions processes. At most they need to get rid of that ideal amongst highschools in relation to a students application
yeah one of the reasons my hs sends practically nobody to t20
2 juniors just got recruited by villanova tho which is insane
I think what’s so hard for a lot of burnout smart kids (like all of us) to understand is that everyone has such amazing stats. Getting rejected doesn’t mean you aren’t good enough, it just means the school knows you’ll excel somewhere else. I think that if someone is rejected/deferred it happened for a reason so that they can excel in another educational environment. Personality plays such a huge role in college admissions and that isn’t highlighted enough.
we’re becoming a more competitive school
yeah my efc was like 30k and my coa is 28k/year
YAYY
they don't really count the naïvety of the teachers into admission decisions as far as im aware. their message will get across
yea i go to a well regarded public school and we barely get like any ivy ppl
our school is big on sports
but i think in the next 10 years it’ll become a competitive public
it changed with our class
the way i couldve been a d1 athlete and been recruited then dropped it i was so close, fuckin d2 UTR moment
I AM BEGGING YOU.
a lot of ppl are wealthy enough that they just stay at home and take over the family business and only go off to college for connections
we’re getting a new school soon, we’re 120% overcrowded (don’t ask me how)
NORTHEASTERN GIVE ME ONE CHANCE.
apparently one of my recs the guy just wrote like "he's just like really smart" which like thanks but that's not gonna make me stand out
based, i have no clue what my math teacher wrote
i hope u guys all get in
the fact i cant read my recs scares me
🙏🏼
and for that reason i’m wary of using his rec for one rec schools
oh bet
you can, you can just ask your teachers to see them
once i get in i might try to get ahold of then
no i cant
i wouldn’t ask your teachers :/
why did u ask them 😭
didn't we literally waive our right to them
that is a scary feeling
I HAD TO ASK PPL
i had to sign this agreement where i cant read them
theyre like nice to me n all but
one of my teachers sent me their rec withiut me asking 🤞
i asked my math teacher to see my summer program rec and he said he didn’t feel comfortable showing me, because he was adding onto it for my college applications
lol
i currently work in the field of education. yes, your teachers do talk shit about you.
how much shit
and ab what
this is very true
if youre an asshole they will call you a bitch behind your back
especially in ib
FERPA means that you can’t force your teachers to give u their rec but they can give it to you if you ask for it
lol
i asked my counselor to just tell me which recs hed suggest to submit for me if a school required only 1 or 2 recs, out of the 3 from teachers i had, and then i figured out which ones i should be submitting
Made my chanceme
im not an asshole but now im scared
i waived ferpa but i didn’t ask to see my rec letters
i never realized how much teachers talked shit until i worked with them every single fucking day
do they ever talk shit about nice people
my math teacher always told me how nervous of a person i am 😭 and im certain he put it in my rec
one of my friends was standing in the back of the room and the english teacher came in and started yelling that our rough drafts were awful and going over a “hit list” of people who didn’t submit to our chem teacher
my counselor told me what she wrote about on my rec letter
if ur a good kid, do ur work, respectful, etc. then you will be glorified behind ur back
but if youre a little cunt
YEESH
and so did my calc teacher and i didn’t ask
you will be treated like a cunt behind ur back
my teachers just call me a nerd
cuz u r
💀
true
my English teacher told me my work ethic is unlike any student she’s had in 25 years and I cried in the bathroom 2 minutes later. I love that lady so much 😭😭
also like stem magnet were all nerds
so I’m not too worried about my recs
wdym home situation
yikes
my spanish teacher wrote a goated rec letter for nsliy
Looking at my chanceme…my ec’s are so basic 😭
NEU day tmr !😋
IM SCARED
if you have a bad home situation they usually just have pitty for you and make sure u get resources u need
Felt
NORTHEASTERN I LOVE YOU
Ahhhhhhhh

same i only got the internship bc my school requires seniors to do it
also they know how other students treat me
yeah i promise they wont talk bad about that
mine are suburban white grandmother with no rizz core
did u apply ea or ed2
like i’m practically shit on in most of my classes the second i mention anything academic or extracurricular about myself
i wish the mascot wasn't the same as 6 other schools tho
usually like if u had a rough home life, they make sure you have resources u need (for example, we had a student who couldnt do his google slide project at home due to no computer, so we gave him the opportunity to complete it at school)
i can’t mention achievements around my friends because they just mock me for it lmao
my friends will do the like
lemme find ir
what r ur achievements
i wanna mock you
Aight prepare yourself
like you're a nerd. or you're beneath them?
