ok when you get in we're going to https://www.gardnermuseum.org/visit/cafe
when i get onto boston campus in '24
despite me living 40 minutes away ive never been here yet
yo that looks sick
itās so pretty
hopefully i get in
Wtf I thought Ed2 was March 1
bc ed deferral gang > bu deferral gang
^^^^^^
fr L bu
š
:(
Ik this is a stupid question but Can you get deferred from Ed2
you can but depends on the school
NEU?
generally speaking i donāt think so (pertaining to neu/bu)
cuz those schools get so many apps but i saw someone get deferred from cmu ed2
Iām considering heavily to ed2 or not
I just donāt know if I should roll the die because most of my Ed schools are reaches and colleges admissions seem random after a point yk
make sure youd be fine being fully pay
I love NEU but
Isnāt there a clause stating if not enough money is awarded in aid you can back out?
thats the only reason i didnt ed1 to neu
oh youre right yea
update they donāt explicitly say this
@drifting warren doenst neu give u how much u need according to ur efc?
i got in ED1 global scholars with 0 aid but I am still goin
no dont trust that
neu estimates tend to suck
yeah i wouldn't trust that
my friendās estimate said that was only gonna pay like 6k but now she has to pay nearly full price (she got in ea)
wow yea
ahhh
sheās gonna appeal fs
Gotta
ah
like sheās low income idk why they didnāt give her more money
bro what
i only got 15k for honors college, i don't have non custodial css form though so i have to get a waiver then ill know final price
yea i was confused as hell
i she going to email
yea she is
Thank you so much!!!
Bro
the most silent violation ever
no way...
skill issue fr
I want to see the actual account name at the top
LMFAO
im being double trolled by myself and neu
actually different
NAH BRO LIKE THEY WERE IMPLYING MY DEFERRAL W THAT
itās giving millennial
im definitely getting rejected
each message i dm turns off the damn admissions account runner
HAHHALKJDSF
northeastern isnt even prestigious to start with
the way ppl on a2c praise this school itās gonna become one soon
these days it has a considerable amount of prestige imo
at least some. although i am biased I do think it has some. ik many irls that have it quite high on their list
they are like tulane and cwru
they try and do everything they can to lower acceptance rate
Oh god this debate againā¦
northeastern is not a bad school but it is not prestigious
define āprestigiousā
Harvard > northeastern > Adelphi university. Problem solved
disagree but agree with the lowering the acc rate. acc rate != prestige
schools that are admired by a lot of people
thereās a reason why neu is getting record amount of apps
What does 9p in name mean. My guess is pending?
do i think itās a good school? yes, is it better than your state school? it depends
ok well thats not what i am talking about. many people actually have it very high on their list
yea it means pending
Everyone take a shot @ebon orbit said the funny word
im in cali so no
but northeastern is high on a lot of my irls list because itās known as a good school
guys please stop shitting on other schools, either bc u didn't get in or didn't get into the campus/program u wanted! it might not only make others feel bad about where they attend but at the same time, everyone's experience in application differs, so just because it might not be a good fit for you, doesn't mean it isn't for someone else!
He said the word again!!!
uiuc is also not prestigious
Everyone drink!
not saying that people here are shitting on it but i agree
Haha lol
but they have a prestigious cs/eng program
Yeah
I will always shit on the fact I got into London and canāt change to Boston. But in reality northeastern is still a good school
yeah ok. i got in for eng. but overall it is not prestigious
Yep!
yea but program prestige matters more than overall prestige
depends
the london program is so stupid
if its harvard cs or uiuc cs
The word was said again!
then people would take harvard
Drink drink drink drink
cs program is their best program i think. maybe business as well
its only good cuz of coop and connections
not only
NEU is like top 30 for CS(meaning it's wonderful for CS!)
well define prestige? t20? t30? neu is a t50
Shots for everyone!!!
prestige is subjective
Shots!
schools with famous alumni
and who are admired
Ik people who have gone to Berkeley and CMU over Harvard. Cost can also be a huge factor as well as geography and overall fit. A lot of ppl donāt like the Harvard vibe even though itās the most prestigious
Ok this joke is getting old now point is prestige is a dumb metric that means nothing except to gratify yourself
thats a horrible definition of prestige imo
exactly which is why itās a fairly dumb metric
i was not done
like if you think about it there are so many universities in the world, and if you consider NEU, it's probably like in the 99th percentile lol in terms of prestige and how good its programs are
Defining a school based on prestige is fundamentally pointless and only serves to make u look like a dumbass
Fun bass lol
thereās like 3000+ colleges in the us and neu being a t50 has to be deserving of some prestige
but fit > prestige
^^
this
I like how itās the same 30 ppl always active in this chat
Anything > prestige itās a pointless metric for elitist dickwads who canāt comprehend the fact that most degrees are the same at the end of the day
do you think most people apply to ivies because of prestige or because of the programs
like a lower ranked program for your major that fits you better >> higher ranked program for your major that doesnāt fit you
B-But muh famous ppl and l-l-large endowments š„ŗš„ŗš„ŗš„ŗš„ŗš„ŗš„ŗ
the ivy league starting as a fucking athletic conference is a prime example of prestige not being a good factor in basing schools onšš
bbbbut T30 cs š„ŗ
NEU is one of the top universities in the world and is highly respected for its academic excellence. It is consistently ranked in the top 50 universities worldwide and is ranked in the top 10 for engineering, computer science and technology. In terms of prestige, NEU is on par with many of the top universities in the world, especially since it's a member of the prestigious Association of American Universities (AAU), an organization of the top research universities in the US and Canada. And to give you some examples of universities that are in the AAU lol: Harvard, Stanford, UMich, UChicago, MIT.
well the truth is most people in the modern day apply to ivies for prestige
Well said, maturing is realizing most degrees are the same, itās what u do with it that determines your worth post college
^^
Once again reminder: mark rober went to BYU
^
northeastern isnāt in the AAU but your point still stands
Wait rlly lol?
yea but theyāll prolly join it soon
Oh oops sorry for misinformation then lol
yes thatās inflated to some degree
its ranked 33 in engineering
according to us news
Varies on where you look
US News is always not the most accurate
where is it ranked t10
New drinking game: take a shot whenever usnews is brought up
thats good. but rankings dont matter too much
Other places
iād get alcohol poisoning
where
Uhm achtually usnews says the schools business program is top 20 instead of top 15 š¤
its an R1!
Yes!!
Look around lol you'll find it after doing some research
if u wont show me ig its not ranked t10 then
Lol okay, take what pleases you
listen to levy hes the goat
us news is the by far one of the the worst things to come out of college admissions
I know this is a foreign concept to the average a2c sweat but USNews rankings mean nothing nor does āprestigeā putting value into any of these means u need to grow up
hes not even willing to show me lmao.
^^^
ā¤ļø
Computer Science Rankings
Oof csrankings
Lol
None of the ranking sites hold any value tbh, csrankings is based on research iirc so itās skewed to more faculty
Ah yeah lol
Now to be fair more faculty usually results in stronger programs (more funding, professors, resources, etc.) but nonetheless
what defines a good cs program
Do they hand out a degree after 4 years y/n
How upsetting
yess :))
how reputable is this site?
dont most colleges do
Thatās the point
Not sure how reputable it is or not lol but ik many cs students use it(and imo more reputable than us news)
Most CS degrees r the same they get u in the door at jobs after entry level itās more about experience
true
it looks sketch
lol
US News is the definition of sketch lol, p sure some colleges bribed them to get on like the top 10 - top 20 list for some majors
fr my dad is overvalueing the cs ranking of a school
Itās better to pick a school for cs based on fit, # of faculty, dedicated cs college or not, and supplemental programs (ex. NEU co op)
exactly
soemoen tell that to my dad
Saving money but at the same time getting a good education and then transferring
But, the only prob with CC is gaining a social circle imo but idk how much u value it(i value it very much which is why im not going to CC)
well don't people also use level of prestige to build college lists
like harvard is a reach for everyone
what exactly is this?
They do
and maybe penn state is a target
A bit
They shouldnāt, but they do
If you want to defer going to NEU for another year(like taking a gap year)
i think its fair
oh ok
i see
Whereās that message hold on
thanks š
npp
@polar tartan
And why is that?
Why does prestige matter so much if you value education lol?
to know what are ur reaches, targets, and safties
i personally used us news to build my list
That has nothing to do with prestige?
L
^
That's actually sad bc you don't know which unis fit you and which don't
yes it does. bigger prestige means it goes onto the reach section
did i say it was my only factor
????????????
Are you trolling me
LOL WHAT
Nah I can't š
I just can't anymore ššššš
Reaches, targets, etc. are based on acceptance statistics and your schoolās acceptance statistics, prestige has nothing to do with that
very prestigious schools have low acceptance rates
^^^^^
Correlation doesnāt = causation buddy
Did bro study stats @polar tartan
why are u so mean
Iām not trying to be mean i just genuinely canāt tell if youāre trolling or not
@polar tartan must be trolling lol
When i applied to colleges last year i didnāt look at it usnews or care about prestige i purely went off fit, programs offered, dedicated cs college, etc. and found the places i wanted to apply to
Got a good list goin and it worked out, simple stuff
^
so since my opinion is different, im a troll?
No lol
Now ofc it wasnāt all sunshine and rainbows but all usnews and āprestigeā does is make your life miserable constantly thinking about the perception of others in relation to your school
Itās such an easier existence senior year not worrying about all that
Just the things ur saying sounds like either u havenāt done research or ur tryna instigate smth or troll to see our reaction @polar tartan
My one credit class grades 100% on attendance
25 mins 2x a week
Tbf itās bc itās supposed to be a supplement to a 4 credit class
Bro i wish š
If you miss 2 classes you lose your A
Well more than 2
And Iām going on a trip for 10 days so Iām gonna miss 1 or 2 probably
first semester i shat on college and said it was soo easy
how id love to go back this shits so hard
Should I go to wisco, purdue honors or Neu for business
Also into Kelly but itās way too big for me (the business school itself is like 6000 kids)
i mean id pick kelley out of those options but second choice northeastern
I have this pinned in #š-general-chat Iām still waiting for the kid to admit it
Eh ik itās ranked the best but literally anyone and their mom can get in there
And itās absolutely massive
I feel like I would get more out of a smaller business school. For example wiscos is 700ish per class and purdue honors is only 750 kids total for any major
Oh also @gaunt crest at northeastern how many semesters do you actually pay tuition
@umbral jay u pay tuition for any semester u r taking classes so no tuition during co op
However u still gotta pay for housing n stuff if youāre on campus during co op
basically what zmar said. so generally u pay 3 years tuition but it can be more if u need summer classes
but if u co op outside of boston u generally get a stipend for housing so u dont have to worry abt it
So why do people bitch about neu being so expensive then if tuition is really only 3 semesters?
I Guess itāll come out to be close with room and board for 4ish years but still
unless you have ap/ib/de credit youāre most likely gonna have to take a few summer classes or stay for 5 years
this varies by program tho
Iāll only have 7 credits š
My friend is literally going into college with 60+ credits
where can I submit my loci? If I were to write one
i mean honestly assuming you can afford all of these i'd rank
kelley (ig ignore cause u crossed off) > wisco > neu > perdo
if youre instate for any of the state schools then go there
Even if u have a lot of ap credit u still may need to do summer classes it just depends on your major requirements
Or just cause u want to lol
Iām taking 2 classes this summer because i need to take one of them before co op and taking it at the same time as algorithms and data is suicide
Please I would've reported and blocked for leaving me on seenā ā the nerve
What are ur grades? Extra curriculars? How good would u say ur CommonApp essay was?
valid
aight I'll change it
i wanna know too
3.73ish GPA
Internships at: HCLTech, Upkey
Worked as a junior developer where I made the framework of an automated billing system using python, MySQL connectivity and tkinter
Co-founded schools competitive coding team
Technocrat club (helped 200+ civilians learn basic tech skills and how to navigate the web, partnered with the states police cyber branch)
Played football/soccer at a professional level and schoolās varsity team
Editor in chief of schools newspaper
Community service (did this not only because of colleges but also because I like it and I hail from a political family)
My cousins are at Stanford and UC Berkeley and one rated my essay 8/10 other 8.5/10
Have sone international and national awards
Thatās pretty much about it
Changed my pfp ahaha
fucking stacked wtf
nicee
bro u got rejected with these? besides the gpa ur stats r better than mine š
did u show demonstrated interest?
neu ed acceptance rate is like 50% lmao
his ECs are so good
39%*
i was exaggerating
still insane
half of the admitted class last year was through ED
like wtf
Iām assuming if they got in ED, they would have to attend
Nah but also maybe me being an intl applicant couldāve had to something with it? š¤·
Anyway I got into other good unis and letās hope they give better scholarships than neu ahaha
yea intls sadly have a major disadvantage in us college applications
itās both
Idk but I feel my gpa was brought down because of my 9th grade marks. Had an aggregate of 77% š lmfao
But nonetheless I did all to my best extent given what I had and without a counselor
I was just a bit shocked because i saw ppl with less gpa and ecs and scores get in like online and around my locality as well.
not to that person but its us admissions so duh??
Same my class is 80 and 5/7 that applied got in. Some of them have boring apps and low stats
no I agree but it sucks for intl applicants. it makes sense tho
yea it must suck ;/
called neu to correct something on my application and also asked abt when ed2 decisions are coming out AND THEYRE POSTPONING TO MARCH 1ST
Gonna build world class unis in my country in the future that will compete with the Ivy League š¼
yea unless they didnāt get the preferred program
GPA is important
Bruh
idekkk devastating though
not the most important unless ur gpa is extremely under the average gpa for that school (which his isnāt unless thatās his weighted gpa)
i got into northeastern EA (oakland campus)
i didnt apply for it tho
do i have to stay there all 4 years?
Is it too late to change my campus preference to London?
i would call admissions office
does this mean i cant switch?
yes u cannot switch from ur campus
yeah if you were admitted to oakland you cant switch to boston at all - heard oakland is alright but not the best, others probably know more
you might get shot up but other than that its fine!
The Oakland campus isnāt like the worst campus out there but itās a new program and a newly bought campus, perhaps NEU is going for a NYU all campuses are the same thing but thatās just not the case rn
You can't switch to Boston even from London campus?
Unless youāre doing nuin or global scholars iirc
Someone else can correct me if im@wrong
Yeah
I personally think youād have fun on the Oakland campus and youād still get the usual northeastern benefits but you may as well just go somewhere in the Bay Area thatās closer to SF or a different main campus
Iāve heard rumblings about a location change form after a year in london/Oakland iirc i wouldnāt bet on it tho
NEU wouldnāt offer this program if u could just change easily
Our campus is hella crowded as it is i canāt find a spot in our library half the time
One more thing to elaborate: youād probably have full Northeastern admin services/school resources in Oakland/london but it wonāt be the same as just being main campus elsewhere
that's the thing
i was happy that i got into northeastern but im not sure about attending the oakland campus
i would get a degree from a great school but unsure if that's where i wanna stay for the next four years
hopefully i get into boston college ed2
Good luck man š
f
hey guys! i put on my commonapp application to not consider me for NUin, can i put in my loci to consider me for it?
i think its better to send another email for that
got it. send it to my AO?
sure
Wondering the same thing could I give a call to them?
NEU can (and will) put u in NUin if they want to (which i recommend NUin is awesome if u can pay for it) but if u want to make sure they know ya Iād contact AP to update your application
Where do I find my AO email?
idk yet i didnāt do it
Hopefully will come out soon
So how many people switched from EA to ED2
Iām mad this is an option bc I wanted less competition
nah fr same
Yea it feels unfair, I took the initiative to ED2 right off the bat and everyone else got to try EA first
Agree
Maybe Iāll email and ask
But i dont wanna come off as rude or disapproving lol
Ask if original ED2ers get priority
Yea I might
Iāve been meaning to email them anyway and now that thereās more ED2 competition I really should
I really hope thatās my situation. 3 years would be great
Also ik I should know this but can I take 2 coops in a row?
I assume I cannot
no way
i literally made my linkedin 2 weeks ago and most of my friends still dont have one wtf
Wait accepting the terms of admission like saying I won't get a C is not committing right
Lol I think I may have committed on accident
u have to pay to commit in pretru sure
i had one since sophomore year because at the internship, I did, we had a little workshop on career preparedness
but I donāt use my LinkedIn seventh grade is way too fucking earlyšš
. . .
did anyone else who got in ea to the boston campus get an email from northeastern saying itās binding?
another neu IT department fail
yea cause wth is thisš
neu IT dept single handedly making me glad i got deferred
northeasternās IT department would be better off being run by the linkedin 7th grader
Facts
same wtf
Same thatās why I thought the terms of admissions thjng was enrolling
I had to submit mine cause apparently the first time it didnāt go through
Ive done the form like 5 times and my application still has not changed
idk if I did something wrong or its not supposed to change
like it still says early action and decided
i got that too
its either a typo or they mean its binding after you submit the deposit
I logged back in ad I had to do it again
it might mean like you can't switch campuses, for example like you got into oakland, you can't switch to boston but who knows š¤·āāļø
This school is a joke
Someone I know got rejected from neu but got accepted to Harvardā¦
thats such a stupid reason to hate on a school
this happens with literally any school with a low acc rate
admissions r a wild card at a certain point
Itās a joke
@drifting warren cope harder
ok necrophiliac420
he said his friend not him
Did u get in redchicken
bout what
no deffered
Thatās what I thoughtā¦
Yes I did
ok bro good luck paying 250k for a degree thats gonna put u in debt for the rest of ur life
Bro said @drifting warren is coping š¤£š¤£š¤£
No need to take out loans when u can pay for it šš«µš»
bro is really flexing that he can use mommys money to pay for his degree
Sorry I canāt go to a can afford to a school that I have worked my ass off to get into
Good luck at ur instate school
pandabear you seem like ur a bit insecure
^^
Itās not that why do you have to downplay others accomplishments
Why canāt you be happy for people?
im happy for everyone
š¬ š
wdym
Not talking ab u William ur cool
you were the one who was passive agressive to start out
Iām sticking for dawg achip
ong what is there to cope about ā
i just love the beef in this thread š¤©
I was literally just trolling and pandabear instantly took it personally
seems like he is a little insecure but hey ill stop talking here
tbf its hard to tell if someone is being sarcastic via texting
nOt If YUou TalK LiEK ThIs
:D
I was also trolling š¬š
Does anyone know the deferral, rejection and acceptance stats
For this round or last yr
lool cap
most get deferred but ive seen a good amount of rejections
u already commited neu?
yes
im just looking for people who got into global scholars cuz i might do that
did u?
youre talking to the right person
im doing cs too lol
Boston Data Science
they probably didnt even look at half the apps and I can say that with confidence
ah alright
š
thats probably like
30k
every college tbh
it literally doesnt matter cause theyre already having a bad housing crisis
Do u have an estimate
sorry wrong reply
wdym
meant to reply to
id say 80% D 10% A 10% R. So not many Rejections but 10% of EA applicants is still a large # of people
3 out of 4% of my table in my physics class got in
ok LMFAO
not percent
bro NEU is goated look at the prefrosh role
š thank u
thats amazing bro!! most people ik got deferred.
@gritty vector
oh wow alright
whyd you @ š i was just saying that we are all going to really good colleges. tbh i dont expect less from this server
add me just in case i do go neu? and maybe we can see each other in london or some shit
yea ofc
š
cuz i ā¤ļø zango
HI
hola amigo
achip basically if i get into a good uc ima go there like ucsb uci ucb or ucla
but if i dont im prob going northeastern
i got no financial aid tho š
I ā¤ļø zaza
olaa bro como te vas
Bruh Iām failing ap Spanish
I have a 100 in it cuz I speak spanish
Dang
Legit half my class are native speakers
my class is only 1 native speaker
bruh
Lol I probably just suck at it
same!
Did u use an app like duolingo

nah fuck that
years of talking with native speakers online
like every day
Thatās crazy
by years I mean 2 but still
I just take the class to pass and I still suck
use deepl
its way better than google translate and will help u with a lot of stuff
should i still consider neu oakland
i got it ea
apparently i can apply for a transfer to neu boston after a year if my major isnāt available at oakland
oakland only offers 5 majors
I wouldnāt take the offer tbh. Try to get into another school. If you really really need to Iād rather just go to CC and then transfer to Boston campus or another āhighly rankedā school
i would just go to another school then transfer to northeastern
oakland is that bad?
yes
oakland's not that bad, it's just not worth full price. At that point so to a nearby school
Well, west oakland ain't great but that's not where the campus is
Yea thatās why I am fine with doing one semester there
Never been to cali so itāll be fun
do u guys think ed2 decisions r gonna be dropped late since ea and ed2 were late?
i called neu today for something unrelated then asked then when ed2 is coming out and they said theyre pushing it back to march 1st
idkk though estimate between feb 15- march 1
bruh š
how am i supposed to wait until march š
plss my friend got accepted boston w scholarship
Bro they probably didnāt even look at your app yet
Why else would they defer you
Guys, Is regular decision binding?
tfw NEU sends out an email saying EA is binding
Northeastern admin is surprisingly incompetent when it comes to emailing things
When they were sending me program details before first semester they titled the email to āJames and Familyā my name is NOT James we (other students) all got the same email lol
your entire family got the same email? or like EVERY student in the program got the same email
one of my safeties called me nina š
Thatās an unfortunate typo lol
My name is NOT James my bad
They sent all students in the program the same email addressed to āJames and familyā
oh ššš
No
i thought they would get more but well shit
cold take
Hi parry otter
Also why does this channel have slowmode lol
So whats the acceptance rate given this number?
no
@gaunt crest yo what is the admitted student guide they send you like
is it similar to the thing asu does?
Nah it makes sense. Any good school with 0 supplements will have an insane amount of applicants
Idk why usc is so widely popular. They probably have around 90k this year too and they have 3 supplements and a bunch of short questions.
i forget tbh but like a booklet and a pennant i think??
they had like 80k or so
i low key agree but like if 96k ppl want to apply to northeastern the number of applicants that northeastern should have is 96k??
i think its stupid too to have no supps but from a business standpoint it makes sense
How does it make sense
i mean schools in canada/uk donāt have supps at all
Other than artificially lowering acceptance rate
also app fees
and artificially lowering the acceptance rate from a business standpoint makes sense
the uk has a personal statement which is similar to a āwhy us/majorā essay here and canadan schools only care about your grades
tbh we need a hard limit on how many schools one can apply to
i think we just need less emphasis on college admissions
and for ppl to recognize that the college u go to really doesnt matter
that too bc us college admissions s a multi million dollar industry
as an ex-prestige whore like i get it but unless u want to go into ib it essentially doesnt matter
if not billions
yea itll never happen
but the culture around college admissions is so toxic for literally no reason
cuz like thereās sat prep classes, private college counselors, essay editors, etc
yea itll never go away but just the attitude towards it i think needs to be adjusted
if you have hella money and decent grades you can get in anywhere
like a school is how u spend 4 years of ur life not an accomplishment
idk if thats so true anymore
actually i mean enough money yea prob
This is not true at all
iām talking more about like parents that send their kids to prep schools that cost like $50k a year
not necessarily the college admissions scandal
they dont all get into top schools
You need ec
yea ik some ppl at andover and the shit they can do is insane because of all the connections
Rigorous coursework with a 4.0 gpa and high test score will def not get you into ivies and such
not all but more so than say someone from a regular public school
see once again tho i dont get why it matters
i go to one of the better public schools in my area and we only get like 4 or so students out of like 300 students
the system isnt changing so much of college admissions culture is used to hate on other students/colleges/idk like everyone
when it really doesnt matter tbh
college admissions takes the life out of so many ppl
this junior ik irl is freaking out because her gpa is a 3.76/4
ex prestige whore
i am a current one
obviously hindsight 20/20 but like
it doesnt affect shit where u go to go wherever ull be happiest
bc ur attitude abt the environment around u and how happy u r there will affect shit
like bro a 3.76 is a is a good gpa shes gonna get into a t100
LITERALLY ppl dont realize that all schools in the top 100 are brilliant
Well yeah, but if you really want to go to a prestigious school then youāll probably have a really bad mindset about attending a school that isnāt prestigious and you wonāt have a good time
like the college admissions culture is so niche yet feels so widespread bc everyone around u is in it
the vast majorly of hs seniors donāt even go to a t50
if u attend a really prestigious school tho and are submersed in stuff like stanford duck culture it can be super harmful too. some ppl may be happier at an alabama or something but their mindset sort of ruins it and puts them in a school theyll be less happy at. the issue is the mindset that comes from college admissions, if thats urs id work on fixing it first
bc u probably wont be happy anywhere if u arent happy with urself and okay with where u are at
most of the schools i applied to are within the t30-t50 range lmao
not just t50s like t100s
i remember being told that binghamton is a great school growing up and its like in the 80s?? and it is a great school
some r unranked or like t100 and i only applied to one t20 (penn)
a lot of ppl at my hs attend my state school
For me I know prestige doesnāt matter too much in the grand scheme of things but I have been trying for so long to go to a prestigious school so if I donāt Iāll likely be pretty sad no matter how good where I end up going is
thats the problem tho
that the culture surrounding college admissions teaches them that high school's goal is to get into a top school
tbh as long as i can bag a t50 that i like iām set
then college's goal is to get into a top job
then in ur top job u want money to retire nicely
this can go down in the rabbithole about capitalism
I want a t30 for cs
and then ur retired and then what?? u r supposed to be able to be happy at every step of ur journey, so why is everything a means to an end
nah u can still live in a capitalist society and enjoy life
it may be harder but its doable
like my cousins in germany say that all unis there are practically equal but in the us the qualify of education varies wildly
No I donāt think I communicated very clearly, I donāt want to get into a prestigious college because it will set me up for a job, itās just the environment where I think Iāll be happiest
but once u get here and everyones competing for a prestigious job and thats the culture u are immersed in u will start doing that as well
I feel like as humans we seek organization and ranking and so itās natural to think about rankings so much
i feel like we should seek happiness instead. u can be accomplished and happy but u need to first be content with urself and find balance between work and doing what u want
thatās honestly why i stayed away from schools above t30 bc the competition for shit is insane espeically in cs
the school we all got into has a sub 20% acceptance rate why fight tooth and nail to get into a club that has a lower acceptance rate than the school itself
Youāre originally from NY right
yes lol
When do yāall think Ed II is coming
they said by march 1
this!! especially at top schools, there will also be ppl at the bottom, and theyll be pushed down further and further as theyre used to being at the top
They say that every year and then release early February š
good hopefullly it realseases soon
i saw someone on cc dming them on insta for an ed2 release date and they said by feb 15
hello
i love seeing the nightly prestige/rank talk on the neu thread š¤©
tell them!
does your apt not have heat
Yall think its too late to switch to ed2 š¤
I am not excited for my 8am tmrw š
EV -> ryder hall
nah itās just gonna be -4 tmrw (feels like -27)
couldnāt be me I have no Friday classes
That doesnāt seem fun
Thatās cause itās not š
fuck neu
Of the 96k - how many did they accept? Anybody know?
RD and ED2 havenāt come out yet so that number isnāt finalized
Ah good point
A friend of mine got into Georgetown ED and never withdrew his EA from NEU and was accepted to London lol.
georgetown doesnāt have ED
Hi
He said ED - binding EA?
Heās going there and not to London
georgetown has rea
Then that
he canāt apply ed1 anywhere but heās not bound to georgetown
Whole ass application not on the common app
Right but heās going to Gtown
oh then he should withdraw
Now I'm curious who this Mango guy is
Ikr @zenith seal
@hybrid crown do you know who you are???
Cause last I knew you were @scenic plumeās mom
@scenic plume Clean your room, including your anime girl posters! They're unseemly for a talented young man like you
sick
this is the quietest this thread has been in ages
@scenic plume you must clean your room my son
does northeastern want lociās??
Any ED2 students in here?
meš¤
do you know when it comes out?
yes
is this confirmed?
didnt get one
also if anyone else could confirm that would be great
it is confirmed 7:00 tn
check dms
I wouldnāt trust anything anyone says here without legit proof š
Yall are fake like that
do i need to ss the email....
yeah could you send it to me
check this link:
that will show you your deferral letter
as well as information about LOCI etc
bowdoin lolll
yea
Did you see the post about neu today š
yea what about it
āWe are now on par with mit and northwesternā š
neu is a good school on its own but it being on par with mit and northwestern is crazy

Youāre capping
Nope!
They say why?
wait where tf did they say this
like the school said it??
bc thats bs
349 votes and 126 comments so far on Reddit
@drifting warren congrats!!! š„¹
Ye lmao
from what i heard ed brings up chances for northeastern a lot
does that apply to ed2
I mean good for them, they did manage to deflate their acceptance rate
But itās funny
it was last year
almost everyone in my school that apply get in
except one girl this year
i need to get in
i applied ed2 n everyone at my school usually gets in ed
iām gonna submit more resume activity sheet things
ed1 acceptance rate was 38% this year
idk what ed2 would look like but iād imagine higher than ea/rd
def but i hope itās rly high
what you think abt UCSD vs NEU cs?
nah im not
then neu fs
Thank you ā¤ļø
also depends on if u want to end up east vs west coast
bc im sure ucsd has very good placement in california
if u were instate for uscb then iād go there bur since ur not i wouldnāt
because uc schools donāt give aid to oos students whereas neu will most likely give you something
r you in sd?
i live in boston and ive been to sd
How about if it was for ED2? Do they give less aid/merit ED because they know you have to go regardless?
@delicate hawk what was neu's acceptance rate this year? single digits?
last years was ~9 some something
last years was 6.7
I dont think they released this year
Gotta remember they have that 35% Ed rate and fill nearly their entire class with ed1 and 2. This school yield protects and games the system like crazy
thankfully there's no supplements, just the personal statement
they fill half their class ed which is fairly standard
like every mid tier school fills up half their class ed. and yes they game the system but i will forever say 99% of ppl who claim yield protection r simply trying to cope
hello does anyone have the neu server for acceptees
Itās more like 85% but true
Also biased
@gaunt crest do you like NEU so far ?
prob depends on whether fundies 2 is considered or not
someone please send me the neu server for acceptees š
there is one?!
@sharp frost
oh maybe not š
I do for sure!! I love boston, I think the opportunities here r great, and I love the professors and ppl a ton. Some things that arenāt so great tho in full transparency: food is kinda ass and the housing crisis is real
what major?
Iām a cs and math major
Ooo nice!!
I got into CS, but I'd have to spend a month abroad first. Have you heard anything good about the abroad program?
I mean all ik abt the abroad program is that while it is expensive most ppl ik that went had a really great time
I got into the Boston location but I heard the abroad program was a really great experience
I mean I think it's worth it so far for me to spend a month abroad even if I'm not to thrilled with it bc neu is my best CS school so far
@gaunt crest big beanpot game Monday
I wouldnāt treat it as like having to spend a month abroad bc it does seem like a pretty sick opportunity
are you currently attending the Boston location?
we r def screwed this beanpot the team wasnāt that good this year
yes Iām in boston
slay
looking fleek
O wrong reply I was replying to yield rate
As in 15% of people deferred are probably yield protected
ifl its more?
@rich laurel I had to delete your message due to a selfdoxx apologies
no L
As apple said i was nuin first semester at the london location for CS it was an incredible experience lol
Idk if theyāll change it but last semester we had our cs class simulcasted from boston which worked surprisingly well so being behind isnāt a problem
In terms of cost u pay more or less the same as you would main campus u just canāt get federal aid cause itās an abroad program
š
heyy
were you accepted to neu
Nah i didn't ea
why is this thread so quiet
itāll be alive during ed2/rd
do we know when ed2 might come out? it says before march 1st
Anybody on who got into the London program? 3 years + US
yep!
@mint stratus
@rich laurel do you know anyone whoās going?
From what Iāve heard it has historically been this week, but due to allowing EA deferred to switch to ED2, it has likely been delayed to late February
crying in the bathroom
yea.
This is very confusing to me
So can we not submit things before February 6? Will they not be considered?
The button to add docs is already there
Also are you guys doing loci? They don't mention it anywhere on their faq
Ok in the five minutes since I sent this the button was removed?
This portal is a fucking joke lmao
Northeastern is silly
Does this mean decisions are coming soon š
no not at all rlly
@mint stratus
is there a way to update any part of our app if we were deferred?
All of northeasterns IT are a joke lol we use an external website instead of the main hub page with all the links cause itās so shit
also if we do a letter of continued interest, when does that need to be sent in by?
There used to be a place on the status check to add more documents. As of this morning it seems to be removed
At least on mine
I still see a place to add documents, but nowhere to update my original application
it seems I can add things but not change what's already been sent
Oh yeah that might be tough
I'm not sure they'll let you change stuff you've already sent except test scores
Anything in particular you're trying to change?
my personal essay since I revised it a lot from EA to RD
also activities section to an extent
There's an option to add an essay, you might just have to add it there and assume the new one will take precedent
I'm definitely not an expert though lol
ok lol, thanks anyway
Same with activities
where do i upload my loci?
I'm wondering the same thing. gonna call them tomorrow to see
they said app portal
there should be one called "deferred new information"
said to put it there
Mine just says itās decided
Idk if they just didnāt update the app portal or they just made a decision and theyāre not telling me till April 1st
Did anybody apply to the Align MSCS program for fall 2023? Any idea when the results will come out? I submitted my application in October
This thread is for undergrad admissions u prolly wont find much grad info here
Oops! My bad. Thanks for clarifying.
anyone know about this bug
i keep trying to click submit but it refreshes back to it again
oh ok
When do we think edII decisions are coming?
Five minutes
noooo rip
jesus christ
called them last week and they said the same thing š„²
Third tier commuter school with a great publicist
What r your thoughts on UChicago
Where fun goes to die. Fr
ong
Neu ed2 decisions are coming out on March 1st at 11:59 pm
I am so confused
Decided?
Does anyone no longer see the option to submit additional documents? It disappeared from my status check page a few days ago
Alternatively does anyone know how long it takes for admissions to email you back?
So have they decided RD before ED2?
rd is in like april
I know but RD peopleās portals say ādecidedā and ED2 peopleās donāt
lemme check my RD
I have a school friend who accidentally applied ED2 to two schools, one of which is Northeastern and she says she canāt switch rn to RD? Is it best for her to just withdraw?
Her other ED2 comes out Friday
how was she able to do that
mine shows awaiting
I legitimately have no clue but she never signed the ed2 agreement on the portal apparently
and my counselor let it slide??
her ed2 agreement for neu is due tomorrow thi
damn š
switching to rd shows demonstrated disinterest but you canāt have 2 EDās
iād tell her to call admissions
i think she should withdraw atp
if sheās still able to, yes?
she keeps saying she wants to wait til friday šæ
call admissions or withdrawal
kk iāll tell her
thanks for the advice, trying to help her sort this stuff out before our school gets blacklisted š
They'll probably just ignore her application if she doesn't upload the ED agreement
or maybe turn it into RD
But I'd still call them
is this confirmed?
No it was a joke lol
The email I j got from them about London
Got $22K/yr honors college at NEU. Is that the best they offer for HC ?
Wdym?
i got 0! no but fr, I think they can do better
Like an absurd word salad of nonsense
I didnāt apply to London u canāt accept me for London. I think their Boston campus is mostly full - ED2 is gonna be a letdown IMO
nah rd will
i got 15 my friend got 30
It's likely looking a lot of Boston EA people will commit eventually so a lot of people think that ED2 is going to be a letdown and RD will most likely be nuin and stuff like that
With only EA and ED the Boston Campus Cof 2027 is already bigger than the Class of 2026 for Boston (according to the paper)
like some ppl will get in boston campus ed2 but not as much as ed1
oh for sure, I am guessing ed2 will be better than ea slightly but still quite bad compared to ed1
fr š¦
neu rd this year....I think there's a bigger chance at the ma lottery š
fuckkk. i am getting ready for a forced triple š
iām more likely to get into an ivy than here ššš
hopefully i can get a single since i am coming to boston campus after 1 year
yea shouldnt be like that.
Thatās why you gotta go for nu in
they're gonna have to buy wentworth to fit everyone now
/s
Program is lit af and itās easier to get into
nu in london I think a lot of ed2 people will get into
Honestly this would be such an NEU thing to do
Iāll just make neu buy me a suite at the 4 seasons š„±
my moms strict as hell
