Northeastern (Norizztern) University (2022-2023)

[bright thunder]

Kinda want to accept my spot on the WL, act super interested so they admit me, and then not enroll

It would being doing the school a favor because they’re so overfilled

Literally a meme school

Right up there with Ball State, except ball state runs a legitimate operation

[solar plume]

WE TAKE THESE

[bright thunder]

This school probably waitlisted 30k people. They’re so scummy they don’t even put the numbers for waitlist in their CDS though

But hey they got 7.5mil from application fees

And maybe they’ll move up a spot on USNWR

[weary bear]

how hard will it be to get off of waitlist?

[bright thunder]

Heavily contingent on demonstrating interest. Even then, perhaps impossible

[thorn jay]

I asked for a waitlist instead of London idk what they gonna say

[golden swallow]

im trying to get off the waitlist by withdrawing my app tbh

[bright thunder]

W

[merry elk]

were a majority of rd's a waitlist?

[bright thunder]

Probably not a majority but I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s anywhere from 10-35%

[muted parrot]

what was their acceptance rate

[bright thunder]

Unknown. Last year was 7% 💀

[muted parrot]

uh 💀

[bright thunder]

And they had more applications this year

[muted parrot]

northeastern tryna b an ivy fr

[merry elk]

i still dont understand how i got into northeastern ea but waitlisted to case western and uroch

[clear dragon]

Got into Northeastern ||London|| with CS Honors + Business despite my 3 CS first sem

[tame trench]

How did I get waitlisted wtff.

[clear dragon]

Family absolutely cannot afford the 83k right now

[bright thunder]

Dw about their London campus is shit

[merry elk]

im banking on the 0.00001% chance of getting the first robotics full ride scholarship

[clear dragon]

I don’t care much about campus to be honest

I’ll be away from the research action which matters most to me

I would honestly have preferred NEU Oakland over this shit

[bright thunder]

It’s more the lack of campus/anything at all. If not for the northeastern name, not a soul would consider going there

They bought a shitty school in London and slapped the northeastern name on it

[clear dragon]

Wonderful haha

[bright thunder]

83k a year is robbery for that shit

[tame trench]

Is Yield protection even a thing?

[clear dragon]

At least I get an American BS degree

[bright thunder]

Yes

[clear dragon]

100 fucking percent they overenrolled last year

[clear dragon]

They can’t just take everyone they want or this happens

[tame trench]

Can someone possibly get YP from a school like NE by getting waitlisted?

[merry elk]

they are still getting over when the over enrolled 3 years a go

[bright thunder]

Yes

[tame trench]

Hopefully that was the case xd. Cause all my friends got in…

[bright thunder]

What were your stats if you don’t mind?

[tame trench]

Better than theirs. I am an international. We all don’t have SAT, cause of the bad situation in our country. I would say I had almost max GPA possible if there was one.

[merry elk]

ec's?

[clear dragon]

For me I had like a 3.5/3.6 unweighted at the time of applying because bad senior year

[tame trench]

I would say quite good. I cot in to UCLA

[kind eagle]

mfw northeastern chose to delete my account instead of giving me a decision

[tame trench]

So they should be fine

[clear dragon]

34 ACT with a 36 in Math, like six 5 scores

[bright thunder]

You got into UCLA as an intl. that sounds like yield protection at NEU

[golden swallow]

a bunch of ppl (including me) got wl/rejected even tho some got into mit and stuff

[clear dragon]

NEU London is a British school so they only care about stats

[bright thunder]

And you got WL?

[clear dragon]

I got in for CS Honors/Business, but not at my preferred campus

[bright thunder]

Ohh

[thorn jay]

Same

[clear dragon]

They just accepted me because they want free money

[thorn jay]

I think it’s the major Fr

[clear dragon]

Can I have a single acceptance without a giant fucking asterisk next to it

[bright thunder]

I had 1560 SAT, 3.98 GPA, 10APs, 10CC classes, and got WL

[clear dragon]

UCSB did this shit too accepting me for undeclared

[zealous geyser]

cc?

[bright thunder]

Community college

[clear dragon]

Like you know I don’t want to do a fucking Letters and Sciences major

[zealous geyser]

ohhh damn 😭 that’s crazy

[clear dragon]

I had like six CC classes, 15 total APs if you count this year

[bright thunder]

It’s gotta be the senior year GPA that’s hurting you

Because you have the classes and test scores

I suppose essays are another factor but if you got into UCSB they must be up to par

[clear dragon]

Yeah they saw my bad senior grades and gave me a consolation prize

Northeastern doesn’t ask for any essays, they might have read the personal statement though

[bright thunder]

Yeah they do get that AFAIK

[clear dragon]

I highly doubt that their degree mill program in London reads essays

[zealous geyser]

i remember when i applied being happy there was no supplemental… tbh maybe wishing they did have some

[bright thunder]

“Hmm what a lovely target school I’m sure they have a serious, fair, and transparent admissions system and value each and every student who applies. I’m so glad there’s no essay. I can’t wait to receive my decision!”

[urban spruce]

what is the best way to deal maximum damage to neu's stats after being wl'd because obviously they're making some wack decisions

[leaden wharf]

Don’t accept your WL spot

[zealous geyser]

NEU was and still is my #1 pick and this server is making me doubt myself SKJDFHSDKJ

[leaden wharf]

Or you could pull the trolling and take a WL spot, get accepted, and then deny them to lower their yield 😈

[bright thunder]

Here’s the deal… NEU Boston is great. But their admissions and satellite campuses suck

[urban spruce]

sounds like a great idea

i was gonna pull my application but that idea sounds appealing

[bright thunder]

If you’re in at Boston and like it, don’t question yourself too much

[zealous geyser]

i got waitlisted :\

i would not wanna go to any other campus though bc i litearlly live like 10 mins from neu boston 😭 would kind of take away the biggest positive LOL

[bright thunder]

Then join in with us on shitting on NEU because the chance of getting in off WL are abysmal most likely

Not to say don’t try. But it’s basically a soft reject like most other private schools

[zealous geyser]

i gotta hold out hope

[rare musk]

i got waitlisted from UCSC, accepted UC Davis, rejected from all other UC's, but accepted EA to NU bound

and my gpa isn't exactly the most competitive

it really is a shot in the dark

[strange girder]

Am I able to submit the letter of continued interest for northeastern through their portal?

[merry elk]

i got into NEU and RIT waitlisted everywhere else

[tame trench]

Hopefully, cause I also got waitlisted after Defered in UVA, and rejected at Babson 😭

[prime saffron]

Universities have different ethoses and strategic objectives, that’s all

You fit one and not the other, American schools are actually very independent of each other so admission into 1 does not mean you will get into another one even if one is worse than the other

[tame trench]

Make sense, but it constantly happens. I feel like I just got very lucky with UCLA.

[clear dragon]

Take waitlist position, get accepted, send deposit to enroll, ghost on admit day to go somewhere else

[shell schooner]

wait so if i get rej, was i just shit or did most people get rej

[zealous geyser]

sounds like most people got rejected

[shell schooner]

cool, but tbf i've taken tons of Ls so probs ont yield protection

[spiral patio]

i got waitlisted

[hot robin]

okay if NEU was ur safety that’s kinda ur fault tho

[languid escarp]

LOl true

new theory

NEU looks for ppl that would do well in co-op

so yeah theres yield protection but its not completely that

cuz the pple that have gotten in that ive talked to have longer term jobs/internships while the "cracked" ppl that got rejected have shorter term ecs

[hot robin]

ironically i refuse to apply yield protection to my own rejections

[hot robin]

oh hmm interesting.

but lmfao crazy how i got more worked up over a wl than either of my rejections

[languid escarp]

u got tufts you are in the running for ivies girl

see you at columbia fr

[languid escarp]

idk why im so irrationally angry over neu reject

AND ITS NOT EVEN ME GETTING REJECTED

[hot robin]

manifesting aaa def we’ll see each other at orientation and toast w our free water bottles!!

[languid escarp]

ups store nearby too

[hot robin]

cuz they made ppl wait this long? cuz it has 6 different paths to acceptance? cuz it doesn’t have any supps? cuz it cares more about driving its acceptance rate down than anything else

[hot robin]

yea! and our own bus station too

[golden hollow]

ngl waitlisting everyone is lowk a strat 🧓

force everyone who isnt actually interested in the uni to withdraw

[tame trench]

My main ecs were longterm - both lasting for mote than 12 years! Still waitlisted 🥲

[abstract remnant]

a lot of people got rejected

[light leaf]

wait did results already go out?

[cosmic pawn]

yup

[light leaf]

i will NOT be attending northeastern this fall

[cosmic pawn]

just like everyone in this thread 🔥 🔥

[zealous geyser]

i’m holding out hope for the waitlist. convincing myself this is just the universe being cruel and making me wait 🔥

[cold gyro]

does anyone here still have awaiting decision?

[languid escarp]

Anyone else got their account

[light leaf]

I didn’t even get waitlisted, just flat-out rejected

[languid escarp]

is it possible that my income might have something to do with the fact that they waitlisted me and not necessarily a red flag in my application?

[fresh lichen]

im so happy i got in

now im gonna fuck up their yield rate so bad just wait and watch

half of us here wont go to neu out of spite😭😭😭

[primal oasis]

us

I liked northeastern but it's so damn expensive

[fresh lichen]

i never liked it as such but eh too expensive anyways

[primal oasis]

I honestly dig the co-op programs but it's really expensive for me

[golden niche]

rekects'

[fresh lichen]

truee

[past anvil]

WHAT

[willow socket]

real

[past anvil]

yeah i think that was the case for me

[fresh lichen]

yes i got in hawa😭

[past anvil]

bro

[fresh lichen]

ur pfp scares me

[past anvil]

i got flat out REJECTED

congratulations!! im so happy for u

[fresh lichen]

u got GT conditional who cares

[past anvil]

yeah fr i wouldnt be going anyway LOL

[fresh lichen]

i dont want neu anyways im ready to sell my acceptance lmao

[past anvil]

lol imagine if that was actually possible

[fresh lichen]

shotgunning would become so popular then

[past anvil]

righttt

i mean now that u got into NEU im pretty sure youll get into tech

whats the acceptance rate for NEU again? its pretty low

[fresh lichen]

acceptance rate doesnt equal chances in another uni lol

[past anvil]

oh yeah thats true

[fresh lichen]

best example is unc accept but umass waitlist

[past anvil]

wtfff

[fresh lichen]

i got into purdue and ucsd too btw

[past anvil]

damn ur cracked lmao

u applied to any t10s?

[fresh lichen]

ucsd for undeclared major tho, they didnt gimme CS:((

[past anvil]

ohhh that sucks

[fresh lichen]

yes, i applied to Penn and MIT...mit reject ofc

[past anvil]

no surprised MIT accepts students that are robots anyway

[fresh lichen]

UC Berk ,USC, UMich, GT and Penn left

[past anvil]

good luck on GT

[fresh lichen]

true😭😭

[past anvil]

which one is ur #1 choice

[fresh lichen]

thank youu

[fresh lichen]

GT ofc, but if i get Penn and GT...i'd be in a big dilemma

[past anvil]

yeah frrr

[fresh lichen]

cuz i love penn too

[past anvil]

id say go with penn honestly they give better fin aid i believe

whichever is cheaper is the best option

idk anything about gt fin aid since im in-state im not getting anything

[fresh lichen]

im not applying for fin aid

[past anvil]

ohhh

[fresh lichen]

efc too high to get anything worthwhile

[past anvil]

okay so ur parents can pay? thats great

[fresh lichen]

yeppp

[past anvil]

yeah in that case, it'd be a dilemma

id say go to the campus tours and then pick whichever has the best vibe

i went to GT and loved it everyone was so nice

[fresh lichen]

GT costs less and is great for CS...Penn also has good stuff...location both great...both got prestige and shit

[past anvil]

right

[fresh lichen]

i'd have less impostor syndrome at GT i feel😭

[past anvil]

omggg when i eventually go to GT the imposter syndrome is gonna be crazy for me

idk why

[fresh lichen]

GT is aight...u have a good mix of above avg and avg-ish kids there

[past anvil]

oh yeah true

[fresh lichen]

ppl make u feel u belong

[past anvil]

im avg-ish

[fresh lichen]

looking at my school's past trends...i dont think i will get Penn tho

our school has never got an ivy even tho practically everyone from our school applies abroad

[past anvil]

maybe you'll be the first

[tame trench]

Does school past trends meter at all? For int

[fresh lichen]

god knows

[fresh lichen]

i think it does to some extent

there is def something diff our schools are doing compared to DAIS(school in india) and shit to get us no ivy acceptances whereas they get 10 minimum every year

[past anvil]

bro whattt

[fresh lichen]

im not even kidding, looks so rigged

[past anvil]

so they're basically a feeder school

[fresh lichen]

all kids there have mega-inflated stats and ECs

[past anvil]

yeah thats so strange

[fresh lichen]

yes kinda, parents are mega rich hence easier to get huge ECs done for some money

[past anvil]

oh righttt

[tame trench]

Last year (in Russia we have classes of 30) 2 students got into Stanford, 1 in Upenn, 2 in Chicago. And 2 in much less prestigious universities. (Only 7 applied).

I have no clue how. This year everyone is getting rejected

[fresh lichen]

thats really cool damn, dw abt past trends much tho...all u can do is just wait

[tame trench]

So far…

[fresh lichen]

this year is very weird

[tame trench]

I got in to UCLA, but waitlisted and Defered everywhere else. A few students got rejected from UChicago

[past anvil]

WHATT

[fresh lichen]

UCLA is great bro wtf!!

u dont need the others anyways😭

[past anvil]

frrr

[tame trench]

It is, I am happy. I just never really liked the school. I will go there if I don’t get in anywhere as good or better.

[fresh lichen]

fair enough

[tame trench]

I feel like I got quite lucky with it, cause I was deferred from everywhere + waitlisted from NEU and UVA

[fresh lichen]

the first acceptance always feels like that

i got deferred practically everywhere too

[tame trench]

The thing is that I am extremely anxious, and a bit panicked (as my Nickname ahaha).

I am thinking about ivy day for 1.5 years almost every fck day.

[cold gyro]

Waitlisted

fuck this school

[blissful needle]

This fills me with rage

[jagged palm]

i had several paid work ec’s 💔

[shell schooner]

i have both and got rej lol

i might just be a shit candidate tho ig idk

[prime saffron]

i do not think so

I dont have any work experience

but I do have enough skills to enter the job market so maybe??

[kind eagle]

I got waitlisted and not rejected so like

reach W????????

[final nova]

better than most rd results so far

[fresh lichen]

chill out, everything works out in the end

[weary bear]

how hard is it to get off witlist

did anyone get in RD for direct boston?

[sudden stream]

I got NU immerse which is in Boston

[cold gyro]

I got mine, they sent me an email. they just messed up cuz I was doing neu for a special program

[prime turret]

has there been a lot of waitlists?

[sturdy sky]

Yes

[bright thunder]

Is this an obvious plant?

[cosmic pawn]

so

has anyone seen a neu acceptance (and why the fuck is slow mode still on)

[cold gyro]

ye it was mostly for special programs like NU immerse and foundation year

[cosmic pawn]

so the wave

the wave had no acceptances?

@languid escarp can you turn off the slow mode

[languid escarp]

done

[cosmic pawn]

ty

x

xoxo

[rich laurel]

does anyone know if I could like leverage my neu acceptance to possibly get more money off ?

i want to go there but like not gonna happen for the price they have me at rn

[distant cairn]

worth a shot

just email the

them

[rich laurel]

@distant cairn is there like a template/format it should follow?

also like how much is "too much" to ask off?

[distant cairn]

hmm u should ask other ppl in this serve

one of my schoools barely gave me aid

and i need aid

as well

so i gotta email them

too

[rich laurel]

herm

okay thx sm

[rich laurel]

if anyone as done this pls lmk thanks

[distant cairn]

try #💵-financial-aid

[cold gyro]

I wrote one, so my mom needed surgery and she’s my primary provider so I explained that and provided forms to show that I wasn’t lying. you can probably get some aid if you literally just explain that you won’t be able to afford coming to this school but I think it’s rare that they give you money just for asking

besides it’s northeastern, what can u expect

[thorn jay]

What’s the acceptence rate for neu london

[rich laurel]

for their london campus? or nu in/global scholars?

@thorn jay

[thorn jay]

London 3 years

Cs/bus

[rich laurel]

hmm

idk

srry

lol

[rare musk]

do we know the acceptance rate for nu bound/global scholars?

[rich laurel]

I dont think they release that info but im assuming it's a little bit greater than ur boston campus acceptance rate bc they admit 1/3 of their total freshman class through that path

if i had to guess maybe like 30ish but then again i have no idea

[rare musk]

aight ty

[scarlet urchin]

I got waitlisted, what are the chances of getting in from the waitlist?

[keen shadow]

What is neu boston ranking?

[lime river]

69

I LOVE NORTHEASTERN

[full wind]

norfeesturn

[weary bear]

whats the differene with NU in and NU immerse

and whats the acceptance rate for them

also can i get on the waitlist for direct boston

[sudden stream]

ok so NU immerse is essentially the same thing as regular NU except u have to take specific classes for ur first year

and then once you complete those classes ur good to do whatever u want

it’s still 4 years and it’s still Boston

idk about acceptance rate and idk about joining the waitlist

all I know is that NU Immerse classes are super small (15-25) and they’re only for NU Immerse students who are all freshman so I’m guessing a small acceptance %

[scarlet urchin]

What’s NUs waitlist acceptance like?

[rich laurel]

im not sure off the top of my head but they have to disclose that info on their common data set

I would think it would be higher than schools like bu and uva (they accept like 1/2 ppl off theirs)

[thick kernel]

when both eastern and western waitlist you two days apart 😄 😭 🫠

[scenic tinsel]

ok

so i get waitlisted to northeastern

and get into tulane rd and into usc

how

[opal tapir]

institutional priorities

[scenic tinsel]

lmfao

[cosmic pawn]

so i deadass have no seen acceptances yet

for boston

[final nova]

theyre shooting for that 1% acceptance rate

[primal oasis]

Lol

[cunning turret]

Tulane RD?

damn thats crazy

[umbral jay]

Lol

[scenic tinsel]

yup

[wispy sparrow]

does anyone know how many ppl get off the waitlist

[primal oasis]

I would assume it's pretty less since they have things like nuin global scholars and neu oakland to manage their yield.

[zealous geyser]

five of my classmates got accepted into boston

[rich laurel]

wow

[olive kettle]

is there a patio code for northeastern admits?

[crystal gorge]

can someone send me the server for neu admits

[final nova]

just put in your email

to get the hub

[crystal gorge]

i don't have a northeastern email yet

[final nova]

Do a search in your current email for an neu email about account activation

then https://its.northeastern.edu/2020/05/12/key-things-new-email-account/

[scenic tinsel]

wait does emory come out tmw

[stray rapids]

do i email Northeastern's Student Financial Services to appeal for aid or is there something else?

[stoic sage]

What was the acceptance rate for Boston campus

[lusty sun]

Guys did anyone who's in NUin get their finical aid

[prime saffron]

apparently the acceptane rate this year was 6%

[sturdy sky]

What was the waitlist rate? 💀

Cause everyone I know got waitlisted

Including myself

[prime saffron]

800 people were admitted via global scholars

[prime saffron]

not sure

[mint stratus]

Did anyone else get that email about London now being 1 year in London, 3 in Boston?

[fast kraken]

wait i thought it was first semester in london

[thorn jay]

Yeah

Idk if this is good or bad

[mint stratus]

No this is NEU London - was originally 3 years in London, now j 1

[thorn jay]

The semester ones are the NUIN

IIRC

[mint stratus]

They turned London into global scholars and call it London scholars

[prime saffron]

likely an issue with housing

[thorn jay]

Should I consider this

[mint stratus]

Nope - nobody is doing to 3/4 years in London and they need the money. I’m full payer so they don’t want to lose me - if I wait long enough it may be 100% Boston lol

[mint stratus]

I am my mom is gonna call and see if we can push them on Boston. Prepay for a full year - $85k in their bank account - let me come to Boston.

[loud pivot]

It’s not a bad idea

[opal tapir]

it's not gonna work lmao

[mint stratus]

I put nothing past neu

They changed London bc they need $

Nobody was taking their stupid 3 years there and 1 year someplace on earth bs

[opal tapir]

yeah but they aint gonna take your fuckin "ill pay the tuition ill be forced to pay anyways early if you let me come to boston" 💀

85k is nothing to a university

[mint stratus]

Oh my b I j saw u are going to NEU next year - u 4 yrs in Boston? And I’ll post back lyk what they say. Don’t think it will be a straight no.

[opal tapir]

im doing 1 in oakland then 3 in boston

[loud pivot]

Hey same

[sudden stream]

does neu send out acceptance packages?

[wraith sail]

i didn’t do my IDOC yet so no

[stray rapids]

I think they do but I haven't received anything yet and I doubt any RD admits have yet

not sure though

[sudden stream]

oh did u get in early?

i got in rd but i haven't received anything but want to lol

[stray rapids]

nope I am an RD admit too and am also desperately waiting for a packet from them lol

[sudden stream]

i really want one lol. i got into nu immerse so i wonder what the packet is like

[primal oasis]

I haven't got anything yet except a virtual booklet

[sudden stream]

did u get into immerse? i didnt get a booklet

[clear dragon]

Oh Northeastern are letting me do 1 year in London instead of 3

[opal tapir]

send the email
its cool theyre doing it for both london and oakland

[thorn jay]

Idk if it’s worth it

I got Rutgers and this for cs idk what to choose

[rustic flint]

neu but prob depends financially

[final nova]

physical packet came in the mail about 2 weeks late for me.

[stray rapids]

anyone know how much the seat is when committing to NEU?

[thorn jay]

If I start financial aid now will o get it

I forgot to fill out the fafsa

[languid escarp]

ye its fire lol

[clear dragon]

that 81k number not so fire though

[clear dragon]

NEU

[thorn jay]

It’s mad expensive tho idk plus I gotta go the London for a year

[clear dragon]

well then Rutgers if price is a major issue

[languid escarp]

well, it was fun to witness the chaos, i shall now be unfollowing

[final nova]

bye

[austere crane]

Hard to imagine they would agree to 4 years in Boston. If they did for one, almost all 800 would request.

I can see the scenario where they say matriculate first and then we can see what options are available.

This 1-3 program comes from their data collection of people who signed up for the info sessions. Probably they got less than 10% interest and now are backpedaling

[clear dragon]

damnn haha so they actually paid attention to that

[austere crane]

Ofc. In this era of AI and data mining, easy to gather and extrapolate such stats. Just the conversion rate of people who click through links in email is enough. If someone is offered London, don’t you expect someone who is genuinely interested to be clicking

Info links

[clear dragon]

yeah, absolutely

These days it's hard to tell if they do it for PR or they actually care

Parents will probably contribute something to the tune of like 20-30k a year and the rest would be in loans, so about 204-244k in total

If co-ops go straight to tuition that's like 144-184k post-grad

[lime river]

hey sameee

[thorn jay]

How much do you get during co ops and would that decrease tuition/ costs

Especially for Cs/buz

[rich laurel]

u dont have to pay while ur on co-op

for tuition

[thorn jay]

Nah like can I use it towards tuition costs

[rich laurel]

I mean your the one getting paid in ur co-op (if paid) so you could just pay next semesters tuition with that money

but im pretty sure you can like discount it towards neu's tuition

[thorn jay]

You know the average salary for the co op

[rich laurel]

it really depends on market/industry

cs would prob be kinda fat tbh

[hollow dust]

Hi is there an admitted discord server?

[rich laurel]

yes!

ill invite u

[primal oasis]

Can you send it to me as well

[devout badger]

Can you also send it to me

If offered the 1 year london and 3 year boston program, does anyone know if that's for the major selected in the application or the one offered? Because I selected data science and biology when I applied, but they only gave me data science since thats the only major london has.

Oh ok, thank you!

[rich laurel]

@primal oasis i added u guys so i can inv u

[thorn jay]

Send as well

[primal oasis]

sounds good

[wraith sail]

can you inv me as well

[keen shadow]

Pls send the invite here too

[glad rune]

Pls send the invite here too +1

[stray rapids]

can you also invite me as well

[olive kettle]

yeah me as well please

[final nova]

invited you both

[thorn jay]

Can you inv me

[final nova]

yeah

[final nova]

how does that mean in any way that its a scam school

[opal tapir]

well you see its because they didn't get in

[final nova]

i figured lmao

[crystal gorge]

i mean

they put people wiht lower stats into other programs

so they dont make their acceptnace rate greater + they make more $$$

and avg stats go down

[final nova]

i know all this

but you still receive the same education, so calling it a scam is petty and stupid

you get what you pay for, and the people paying are well aware of what they’re paying for

(maybe not all but still)

[tepid iris]

it is kind of disingenuous, though

[final nova]

i agree

it’s totally understandable why lots of people choose to shit on this school, but there are many many aspects of it that outweigh the disingenuousness in my opinion

[rare musk]

is global scholars really that much worse?

[plain oasis]

depends on the person

i dont think it's that bad

[opal tapir]

congrats

i do not care 🙏

[glad rune]

could you inv me as well 🙂

[snow scaffold]

you committed?

[loud pivot]

(No)

[languid escarp]

Opinions? Got into NEU ea, after grants and financial aid it would cost about $5,700, but I have to go to Oakland for a year. Other option is state school (ew ew ew) for $200 cheaper. Worth going to NEU? Like I don’t wanna go to Oakland, but at least I’m close to some family there and it’s not too expensive?

[loud pivot]

Dude I have to pay 47k for Oakland 1 year

[languid escarp]

Bruh colleges actually suck like

[umbral jay]

If it only costs $5.7k go

[tepid iris]

if you think 3y boston is better then ofc

[wraith sail]

i applied to mech engineering at uw

[crystal gorge]

nice

[wraith sail]

that’s why i applied to so many schools, it’s bc i’m not sure what i wanna major in

so i had reach target and safeties for all the majors

[crystal gorge]

oh nice

yea

[wraith sail]

but some had overlap

[crystal gorge]

makes sense

[stray rapids]

can you try to message me and i'll see if I receive your dm?

[crystal gorge]

bme + premed

hopefully i land smt tmr but prob not

[weary onyx]

Hey I will be attending the admitted students day and have no one to go with if anyone wants a buddy🥲

[nova viper]

I don’t think they release that data this early

[clear dragon]

Sorry I didn’t get the Boston admitted students day

Enjoy though

[weary onyx]

ooh where you from out of curiosity??

[clear dragon]

Me?

[weary onyx]

ye like state/country

[clear dragon]

Well I live in LA

[weary onyx]

damn ur on the other side 😭😭

gonna be interesting to meet people from different states in college 💀

[clear dragon]

On second thought might not be going, enjoy though 👍

[stray rapids]

ill be committing to nu, already declared the enrollment woo

[weary onyx]

Could i hear some of your guys reasons for choosing Neu (academic related?)

[stray rapids]

I've been hearing the Neu has great opportunities through co-op and career related which is the only reason that comes to my mind rn that a lot of people have mentioned

[weary onyx]

yea 😭 i wonder if people have other reasons aside from co ops

whats ur major?

[stray rapids]

Comp Sci which I also heard is really good there which made me choose it

what's yours?

[weary onyx]

math/bio

not sure what kind of co ops they have for my major so that could make or break my decision

[stray rapids]

are you deciding between another school?

[opal tapir]

neu is a preprofessional school pretty much so it makes sense

[weary onyx]

bu vs Neu 🥲

[opal tapir]

neu 100%

tbf depends on aid

[weary onyx]

aid isnt a factor, pretty similar/little

location isnt a factor either

city wise

[opal tapir]

i'd personally go with NEU just for post-college opportunities
unless ur gonna be pre-med or pre-law, its hard to get entry level jobs in math and bio, or anywhere really

[weary onyx]

i was planning in pursuing bioinformatics

likely masters before working

working fr 😭

[opal tapir]

I'm obviously biased but I'd pick NEU. Its really up to you, both schools are pretty comparable

[weary onyx]

yea 😭 smth i think about also is i don't really know if im super career oriented right now and i dont want that to mess with me 😭

[stoic sage]

Who’s going on the visit tmrw morning

For cs

[weary bear]

in person

[weary bear]

is there a virtual event or smth

also is NUin CS worth it vs purdue cs?

cuz location wise northeastern is def better but i dont wanna go international

[opal tapir]

purdue has a better program, but i think neu has better placement

its up to cost rlly

[weary bear]

well

northeastern is 80k

and purdue is 40k

big difference ngl

and there will be international costs too so idk how much extra that is

and im only limited to nuin greece which sucks

[opal tapir]

i'd go to purdue then

[weary bear]

alr

[primal oasis]

purdue is the better bet

[crystal gorge]

i have the same decision rn

and im choosing northeastern @weary bear

but im doing premed as well

for engineering

[cyan tendon]

Does anyone know how long it takes for northeastern to send their acceptance package

[keen shadow]

I come from an entirely different curriculum, could someone pls tell if the these requirements are at all challenging?

[thorn jay]

Question: For cs co ops, what is the average wage. And would it be enough to get some of tuition burden off

[umbral jay]

I’ve heard you make like 30k a co op?

[thorn jay]

b

why is laptop sceince blocked

laptop sceince and bizzznus

lmao

[keen shadow]

What is the cheapest living option in light view

[modest bramble]

someone

here

[weary onyx]

i was there for cos

gonna get food b4 going home

[merry elk]

i’m still waiting for my financial package to come in. i don’t know what’s taking so long

[weary onyx]

weird seeing people coming from all over and I'm just a boston native 💀

[languid escarp]

Purdue is better choose Purdue

[rich laurel]

is it "hard" to get a co-op ? Or relatively easy ?

[languid escarp]

Easy

[opal tapir]

Very easy

[drowsy crescent]

how do i submit my enrollment deposit?

i searched up the link i found on google but its invalid

[cyan tendon]

Does anyone know when there acceptance package came

Same bru

i got in like weeks ago

1-2 weeks ago I don't remeber

[drowsy crescent]

i got mine about a month after getting accepted?

ed2

[glacial ferry]

hi hi im a prospective neu student but there's a couple of things tipping me off idrk if theyre true but can someone pls clear it up 4 me: is it true that after u come back from the NUin program, you're just put into rooms in triples or no space at all because there's a housing crisis on campus? also is it social overall? im rlly confused between neu and this other school so Thats that

[languid escarp]

In the application portal there should be an admitted students checklist, and once you do the first item the deposit will show up on that checklist

[abstract remnant]

does anyone get off the waitlist?

[opal tapir]

if you haven't already, the link should be on your portal

[prime saffron]

can someone send me the NEU discord server

for admitted students

[modest bramble]

RIGHT

people were catching flights from los angeles to boston

just to be put in the nuin program 🤡

but i’m still a 6 hour drive from boston so it’s not too terrible

[wraith sail]

ok idk why y’all hate the nuin program

i literally applied to neu for it

i think it’s awesome but everyone told me it’s just a scam but it’s really not 😐

[modest shard]

I’m not too sure why hate that stuff I might end up doing global scholars too

[serene trench]

i think bc a lot of ppl listed it as “not preferred” or “no” in their applications and still got those options

[final nova]

the opinion of people on this server/subreddit generally means nothing, most of the people who told you that have probably never been to college and have no experience with neu

[wraith sail]

yeah like i have a friend who did nuin last year and he said it was awesome as well

[keen shadow]

Anyone got into nu immerse

[devout badger]

Does anyone know how long it takes for the admissions office to respond to emails?

[loud pivot]

Personally I say call

[umbral jay]

Nu in is awesome

Global scholars is a scam kinda

My friends who were straight boston campus all wish they did nu in

[devout badger]

Is anyone here thinking of committing to the london scholars program?

[glacial ferry]

BRAH turns out

my acceptance package came

like last month

and it got stuck in some customs thing

bec intl student

and i thought it was some scam package

because they attached a wrong package ohoto the this document abt it being frm mexico

TURNS OUT IT WAS FROM BOSTON AND

WE R DONE !!!

[keen shadow]

Do all accepted kids get the physical mail

[vital dune]

Any idea on when might the next set of results come out for regular decision applicants?

[loud pivot]

Bro what?

Everything came out already

There isn’t another set

Of results

[wraith sail]

lmaooo

im still waiting on my acceptance packages

[loud pivot]

Same

I got some random letter from the “office of the president” though

Not the same thing I assume

[vestal nacelle]

I got into Northeastern London!

[stoic sage]

Anyone got any info about housing

[inner birch]

760 math, should I put in the effort for an 8?

[paper ravine]

in my opinion there are better things you could be doing

oh but if your overall was a 1420 I would take it again (for the english more specifically)

[inner birch]

lmao definitely

[loud pivot]

SAT doesn’t matter anymore, good extracurriculars are important

[inner birch]

CS or c eng

[inner birch]

working on it

too bad im illiterate

[cyan tendon]

Do they even send a RD package

[loud pivot]

Doesn’t matter that much

I got into Khoury with literally the shittiest SAT scores known to man

SAT doesn’t matter

[prime saffron]

what was the score 👀

[loud pivot]

640

Damn that sounds more embarrassing on paper

[prime saffron]

in total?

u get 400 points for writing ur name bro

[loud pivot]

In total

[loud pivot]

Hence why it’s embarrassing

[prime saffron]

but thats almost impossible

did u just decide not to take the test

[wraith sail]

wtf a 640 is hard to get

at that point u have to know the right answers to purposely choose a wrong one 💀

[loud pivot]

Well bingo bango bongo I did it

Maths and English is pretty hard

[prime saffron]

@loud pivot did u cure cancer

what were ur EC's

[loud pivot]

No. I was swim captain and varsity all 4 years, made a revamped website for my town, won the Sifma statewide stock market game, volunteered around 50-80 hours for some groups. Vice president of the senior class.

That’s about it

[regal reef]

anyone know why northeastern's transfer acceptance rate is going up while most others are going down?

[paper ravine]

are they counting like nuin and nu global as transfers?

[polar locust]

anyone sign up for the alum panel?

[inner birch]

Anyone know what this year's acceptance rate was?

also taking a tour of neu tomorrow 2pm meet up and give me all your admissions secrets

[opal tapir]

7% across all campuses

supposedly

[regal reef]

wtf

dropped so fast 😳

[final nova]

no way 7% includes nuin, global scholars nubound etc

i believe that for Boston campus but it has to be way higher for all programs

[prime saffron]

its defo possible

the amount of people admitted into those programs are literally statistically insignificant

for example, at most, 800 students were admitted into G.S. and there were 96,000 applicants this year. This means that 0.83% of applicants at maximum were admitted into G.S. alone

The number is probably around 400 for NU immerse and 600 for nu.in

so 1.875% were admitted through all the other possible programs

[final nova]

if true that's wild

ill defo be curious to see the official stats when they release them

[opal tapir]

i know for oakland they admitted 3,000 out of the 96,000 applicants, which is 3.125%

[regal reef]

maf 🧮🧠🤓

[prime saffron]

it was 6%, my friend went to the NU london admitted students day and they told him that

[inner birch]

shit on boston was NICE

[languid escarp]

real

[strange girder]

anyone got off the waitlist yet?

[vestal nacelle]

yeah

I got put into Northeastern London off of waitlist

[rich laurel]

is there a NU discord??

[copper storm]

^

[final nova]

yes

[rich laurel]

Could you DM me the link pls?

[copper storm]

same here pls

[covert panther]

same

[wispy sparrow]

did u send loci?

[vestal nacelle]

nope

[loud pivot]

Surprisingly not coming from California

[opal tapir]

cause cali is much nicer than london

[loud pivot]

True

[vestal nacelle]

Also because more financial aid is applicable to Oakland than London

[steep plume]

I got in off waitlist like Thursday night lmao for global scholars

I was already pretty sold on RIT though. And I think between going to RIT debt free vs going to northeastern with like 120k debt, RIT is still the obvious choice, no?

[vestal nacelle]

I’m in a similar situation as you

[steep plume]

Yeah?

I think ultimately like not having debt will be the better choice for me but it depends on a lot of factors for sure

Stats say that I'll be making basically the same amount out of college for my respective major at either school

Yeah, sure, northeastern is more prestigious or whatever, but like that doesn't matter too much ultimately

my mom is telling me that that debt won't be hard to pay off if I just pretend I'm making a lot less and pay it off quick, she's probably right, but that depends how much debt you'll be in and how much you expect you'll be making when you finish school

[vestal nacelle]

I came to the conclusion that I need to start thinking from the perspective of myself in my 30’s. I think having to worry about loans for 5+ years vs. not having to worry about them at all makes things a lot easier to come to terms with.

[opal tapir]

rit vs neu career prospects are much different

[steep plume]

Mind elaborating a little bit?

[opal tapir]

neu places into big tech by a much larger factor

if ur talking abt going to rit im assuming its for cs

[steep plume]

RIT is Computing and Information Technology, actually. NEU is CS

RIT rejected me for CS

[opal tapir]

its rlly up to you

if price is that big of a deal, 120k is nothing to sneeze at

[steep plume]

Wdym by that big of a deal

I think someone else also misunderstood what I meant so I'll elaborate

My RIT coa is like 50k/yr. My parents would pay for it.

Neu is like 80k/yr, right? I didnt get merit and my parents make too much for me to qualify for aid. My parents would pay the same amount as they would at RIT so that would leave me with like 120k debt, maybe less bc of coop idk

[final nova]

Go with RIT unless there’s a specific aspect of nu that you are super fixated on

If the choice you have is based on prestige alone then screw the prestige and go rit

I will say nu will probably give you better job opportunities because of coop/location

So your debt will most likely not be quite that much, but 100k is still 100k and that’s a shitload of money

That’s my input

[inner birch]

Do I have any say in which campus I get assigned to?

Like can I put down a 504 or something for them that requires me to go to a specific one?

[lime river]

LUH TWIZZ

[opal tapir]

nah

[unkempt oar]

What’s the acceptance rate for global scholars and the other programs

[prime saffron]

74%

[unkempt oar]

How’s that even possible

[prime saffron]

I’m joking

[paper ravine]

global scholars is small (500ish students). It can't be huge. I would say GS fills up with ED and EA.

[molten brook]

yo

who here is going to northeastern london

[unkempt oar]

I’m considiring it

[unkempt oar]

It’s so expensive tho 😭😭😭

[molten brook]

what were ur stats btw

[unkempt oar]

3.5 w 33 act

Got cs/bus

[molten brook]

same

[vestal nacelle]

I’m also considering

But 5.3 w 30 act

[loud pivot]

How much is it for you

How much is global for all of you

[prime saffron]

80k

[unkempt oar]

80k

If they go down to like 60k I’ll consider

[loud pivot]

Jesus

Call them up

[prime saffron]

i emailed them

i asked for like 10-30k

[unkempt oar]

What they say

[prime saffron]

Nothing yet

[unkempt oar]

Did u do the terms of enrollment and shit

And pick London scholars or 3 year thing as well

[prime saffron]

whats that

[unkempt oar]

U need to do that so they can asses ur fafsa and css so they can award u merit and federal aid

[prime saffron]

i didnt do either

[unkempt oar]

Did u get a email yesterday

[prime saffron]

yeah about engineering stuff

[unkempt oar]

U got London right

[prime saffron]

nothing about my email to them

[prime saffron]

GS

[unkempt oar]

Oh nvm

I got 1 full year in London

[prime saffron]

nice

[unkempt oar]

The thing is I can’t get federal aid since it’s in the uk so I have to rely on merit 💀💀💀

[prime saffron]

yeah i get nothing regardless

[weary bear]

did u get direct boston

[sly ether]

Does anyone know if I can just straight up ask them for merit scholarship?

It’s mad expensive and I don’t qualify for any aid

[prime saffron]

i tried

im in the same position as you

scholarships come with the admission letter as well as any aid so if u didnt get anything they are unlikely to change it

[sly ether]

Oh shi

Ty for letting me know

[rose oracle]

anyone going to nu.in ireland

[dull fractal]

me

[sly ether]

is there a accepted students server?

[unkempt oar]

Yes

[dusty dome]

anyone know how hard it is to deffer enrollment by a year for CS?

[violet minnow]

when do they release waitlists

[unkempt oar]

I think after may 1

[steep plume]

So hey update on this and sorry for not seeing your messages until now, I wish you had pinged me haha

Anyway I should clarify that my parents would pay for it up front so I'd just be in debt to them (~100k, which, yeah, it's still a lot of money, but when interest leaves the picture it's like a lot more repayable, imo?)

I've since visited northeastern and I freaking love campus, Boston, etc. Something I really wanted from the beginning was a city campus and obviously RIT doesn't offer that.

Northeastern is my preferred major (Computer Science) whereas RIT is not (Computing and Information Technology.)

NEU I'd get the opportunity to be in Oakland for a semester and then London for a semester because I was admitted through Global Scholars, and yes, I say "opportunity" rather than something like "burden" because even though everyone here seems to hate Global Scholars I really think it'd be an awesome opportunity personally!

[keen shadow]

Pls add

[final nova]

Well given all that it sounds like nu is the better choice for you

You’ll also be able to make a fair bit in co-op money, not entirely sure if that would get you 100k over 4-5 years, but at the very least it would take off a big chunk of that debt

[steep plume]

Not sure, I would imagine a lot of that will go towards covering living expenses, but who knows, I could find a remote one and live at home for all i know

[steep plume]

But yeah. I think so. This whole thing has kinda been me trying to justify the price, lol. I think it's the sort of thing where I'll have long term regret if I don't pick northeastern but

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[fringe lynx]

Yooooo

(I just scrolled up through all the past messages lol)

[violet minnow]

Yo

Any news about the waitlists?

[devout badger]

Anyone committed to london scholars?

[steep plume]

committed to global scholars woo

[violet minnow]

F

[opal tapir]

not a lot are probably gonna come off the waitlists because i know for global scholars at least they yielded more than they expected too

[sudden stream]

could someone send me the invite link to the NU discord

[rich laurel]

Yes! I got you

[sudden stream]

Ty!

[keen shadow]

Me too pls

[rich laurel]

Yep!

[keen shadow]

Thanks

[loud pivot]

Me three please

[rich laurel]

sent u a friend request

lol i have invited over at least 18 ppl on this discord to the NU server

which isn't like a lot a lot but it's weird that it happened that many times

[inner birch]

THREE PERCENT

THE RD ACCEPTANCE RATE

WAS THREE

PERCENT

[loud pivot]

Makes me feel special

[regal reef]

oml

[loud pivot]

Also wait where did you get this info

@inner birch

[inner birch]

got it from one college page but only one so there's a shot it's not legit

wouldn't be surprised though

[loud pivot]

Yeah, there was probably limited space after ED 1 ED 2 and EA so it might seem reasonable to assume

[cold gyro]

Hii can you add me too? Thank you!

[languid escarp]

when will the waitlist be out😭😭

[cold gyro]

They’re in the process of sending them out I believe

[rich laurel]

yep! sent u request

[violet minnow]

Does the process take this long

[violet minnow]

i guess it does

because goddamn

[violet minnow]

Ay bruh

Stop bean annoying

Release the damn waitlist

[violet minnow]

Ay bruh

I’m serious

[rich laurel]

Praying for a WL decision for you @violet minnow

[violet minnow]

Thank you

[prime saffron]

@violet minnow u got into purdue so why bug about NEU

[violet minnow]

Idk f

I applied to 25 colleges

I got into 11

Having an ear 50% success rate would be nice

But I do want to get into northeastern

Just coz

I’d get to say

I rejected neu

Nah that’s petty

I actually like the CS entrepreneur program a lot

So yeah

Be a tough choice

[regal reef]

bro specified honors in his nick 💀

[willow salmon]

XDDDD

[violet minnow]

I wrote two essays extra. I am allowed to feel special 😤😤 /s please don’t hurt me even the nickname was a joke

[regal reef]

https://tenor.com/view/flushed-emoji-gif-23088129

[silver thunder]

wait so are you going to purdue or neu???

like which would you go to

[regal reef]

jsyk they don't send you a rejection letter if you dont get off the waitlist

only when it closes

[violet minnow]

Aight bet

Good to know

But people who are here and are still in the waitlist

I presume they have hope too

[violet minnow]

I’ve committed to purdue so most probably

I’ve insulted no one and I’ve hurt no one’s sentiments

[silver thunder]

Wym

[violet minnow]

Why do you want me to leave

Just coz I have hope?

[silver thunder]

what tf are you hoping for???????? you wouldnt even go

[violet minnow]

Bro you don’t know that

Even I don’t know that

[silver thunder]

instead of hoping for an acceptance from a college you wouldnt go to so you “can say i rejected neu” be happy with your current college

[silver thunder]

^

[violet minnow]

Most probably doesn’t mean 100% man

Please calm down

I will still have to decide

[silver thunder]

Ok im calm now thx

[violet minnow]

no problem I wish you the best

[silver thunder]

JUST KIDDING! IM VERY ANGRY!!!!!!!!!!!!

GO TO PURDUE AND BE HAPPY WITH YOUR SECOND-RATE SCHOOL!

[violet minnow]

Come on dude

There’s nothing wrong with purdue

[silver thunder]

regular purdue is ass. but are you in the honors college? changes the school completely.

[violet minnow]

Yeah

I did actually get in

[silver thunder]

[clear dragon]

Purdue is not that crazy but it’s not “ass” by any means lol

Honors program at Purdue rlly solid

[violet minnow]

Bruh

[past mica]

Bro is tripping Purdue is great congrats

[silver thunder]

I am NOT TRIPPING. but think that all you want.

[fresh lichen]

[violet minnow]

Let them say what they want bro

We’ve committed and have made peace with where we are going

[fresh lichen]

yeah true but seriously

an argument should have some matter

otherwise its not an argument

its delusion
