UMass Amherst! (we are the flagship) (2022-2023)

[lusty coral]

you should be able to switch most of the time

[muted elk]

If i dont get into cs can i get into eng?

[exotic jay]

for me if i don’t get into umass for cs i prolly won’t go

[exotic jay]

prolly

[lusty coral]

wtf

[coarse jacinth]

damn

[exotic jay]

jesus christ

[lusty coral]

this got me scared now too i didn't think it was that competitive

and im instate

[exotic jay]

maybe yield protection but i’m fucked

[lusty coral]

hopefully yield protection

[exotic jay]

i’m in state but i don’t think that’s gonna help me much

i only want to go to umass if i get in for cs

[lusty coral]

yeh same

[sterile eagle]

how about umass computer engineering

[lusty coral]

if not it's not worth

[sterile eagle]

i did that

[lusty coral]

i think umass compeng is pretty goo

[exotic jay]

still competitive but not as much as cs

[lusty coral]

similar opportunities

yeah

[exotic jay]

i’m torn between doing cs and comp engineering but i applied for cs as my first choice major and stats as my 2nd

[muted elk]

This could be yield protection or just horrible ecs/essays

[muted elk]

This HAS to be yield protection lol

[lusty coral]

i applied first choice cs second choice data science or some shit

i think it was info science

[muted elk]

Umass has dats sci?

[exotic jay]

i either did data science or stats idek

[lusty coral]

idk i just did what would be easiest to transfer

if i got screwed

[lusty coral]

honestly yeah

[exotic jay]

if i don’t get cs then i’m kissing umass goodbye

[sterile eagle]

i pretty much j applied to compE to the best public school in like 10 states and am praying

cant afford private schools

[lusty coral]

for me it's the opposite lol i need private aid

[exotic jay]

^^

[mint smelt]

It is

[sterile eagle]

idt im eligible for aid but also not enough to pay for any school above like 30k a year without loans

[exotic jay]

also privates have more flexibility on major requirements/switching out

[lusty coral]

that too

[exotic jay]

same

[mint smelt]

UMass posts it’s acceptance rate for EA last year and it was around 70

[lusty coral]

have fun switching into uiuc cs from another majo

[exotic jay]

if i have to take out loans for umass i likely won’t go bc i only like umass for their cs program

[sterile eagle]

uiuc cs is alr known for having a pretty toxic culture and then trying to switch in would be j mentally exhausting

[coarse jacinth]

is umass generous with aid for oos students

[lusty coral]

i think its decent

they give 10k scholarships a lot of the tim

or more

[sterile eagle]

idk abt aid but I think merit scholarship makes it closer to in state

[lusty coral]

yeah merit

[sterile eagle]

tuition

[lusty coral]

W

[sterile eagle]

The highest my friends have ever gotten is like 16k a year

[lusty coral]

i'm lucky to have instate tuition

[exotic jay]

yea umass isn’t like umich/uva/unc where they barely give aid to oos ppl

[lusty coral]

also i got the john and abigail adams thing

thats like 2k off

[sterile eagle]

in state tuiton is a dub

i live in cali

[lusty coral]

well i'd rather have that 💀

[sterile eagle]

so UCs are j hard to get into for cs even if they are relatively affordable

[lusty coral]

u got cal and LA

that is true tho

[exotic jay]

uc’s in state >>>>

if i lived in cali i would apply to uc’s but 70k for ucla/berk is too much

[sterile eagle]

yeah fs 70k is insane

not worth for it for a tech job

[coarse jacinth]

wtf

[sterile eagle]

I’m praying for uc Santa Cruz

similar to umass Amherst but in state price 😭

[exotic jay]

ik someone in the grade above me who goes to berkley and her twin goes to nyu

idk how they can afford it

[sterile eagle]

yeah I got to a pretty comp schoo and everyone is eding somehwrre and applying to crazy expensive reputable schools

and I’m like my dream school is uiuc rn guys

[mint smelt]

The waiting game sucks

[sterile eagle]

and they j look at the general acceptance rate 💀

little do they know it goes from 65% to 5% for uiuc

cs

[mint smelt]

Like just tell me I gotta go to university of Arizona dawg

[lusty coral]

im doing cs + ling at uiuc so hopefully that saves me

w/ good stats

[mint smelt]

Ling?

[sterile eagle]

i did stats and cs cause the ai classes were lowkey cool

[lusty coral]

linguistics

[mint smelt]

Linguistics

Oh

[lusty coral]

Yea I was gonna do stat+cs but i heard it was pretty competitive too

At least relatively

[burnt dust]

1500 sat(800 math/700rw) 3.87 uw gpa (4.0scale)
student gov 3 years with 2 bill written into handbook+varsity xc captain(with coaches award and state champs)

why do I feel scared

[sterile eagle]

yeah uiuc is like 60k I think too for oos so I j sent it

[lusty coral]

Are you instate

I think you should be ok

[burnt dust]

yeah

I should be fine

[lusty coral]

yeah

[burnt dust]

but if I don't get in

I would be disappointed

[lusty coral]

i think at worst you get waitlisted or put into exploratory track

same for me

except 1560 800m 3.91uw

still scared

[burnt dust]

god damn

[limpid flame]

honestly after my ED rejection im losing hope for all my schools

[burnt dust]

SAME

@lusty coralBU is your safety calm down

[lusty coral]

I think ed is a fluke most of the time

[burnt dust]

^^

ED = legacy round

[limpid flame]

true

[lusty coral]

😭 Ngl ive been seeing so many good people who applied ED get defered so idk

[burnt dust]

you're gonna be great don't worry!

[lusty coral]

yo you too

[burnt dust]

in the end a college is a college and you should love the school that loves you :D

[lusty coral]

This is the mindset to have

@limpid flame Take notes

[limpid flame]

noted

im doing UMass Lowell too now just in case

[lusty coral]

im doing massasoit fuck it

[burnt dust]

doesn't hurt to add a few more safties

[burnt dust]

😭

[limpid flame]

alr got in

[lusty coral]

Yeah UML is rlly good with merit scholarships

[limpid flame]

no aid tho

[lusty coral]

With a 1500 i think u get everything

[lusty coral]

bro not needed

[limpid flame]

i doubt it, essays and ec play a huge part too

[lusty coral]

what about rizz?

[coarse jacinth]

for oos too or just in state?

[limpid flame]

most of their apps are in state

[lusty coral]

I'm not too sure but I think OOS would still be good

^ yeah

[coarse jacinth]

im applying there oos ahah

[lusty coral]

Yeah I think they'd be decently generous

[burnt dust]

I just wish umass amherst is as good as u michigan or u wisconsin

imagine sub 20k tuition and t40

[lusty coral]

well what if i just used chatgpt

[limpid flame]

then your probably auto-admit

[plucky depot]

Former UMass applicant checking in have they released decisions yet

[lusty coral]

honestly yea lucky mfs in wisconsin and michigan

[burnt dust]

EA is before end of jan

[lusty coral]

they have not, first wave is speculated to come out on 20th

[burnt dust]

also do you like brandeis?

[plucky depot]

Bruh what is taking them I’m so sorry guys

[lusty coral]

IDK but they got mad apps

[burnt dust]

I kinda like the campus but need insider information :D

[lusty coral]

like 30k i think

campus is nice

food is amazing as you prob know

[lusty coral]

i got guest swipes that shit blew my mind

[limpid flame]

changed my whole perspective on food

[lusty coral]

changed my whole aura

[plucky depot]

I was only just accepted ED, just curious if they started sending out to you guys

[burnt dust]

I am stupid lmao I saw the '27 but my brain did not react to it

[plucky depot]

lol you good

[burnt dust]

but yeah I'm applying to brandeis RD so there is a chance of me ending up there

[dense remnant]

Same

[lusty coral]

@limpid flame ima give up on cornel for deferring my ass

gonna pump out a loci

one and done

[burnt dust]

I straight up got rejected

[limpid flame]

you still have a chance they accept a good junk of deferalls

[limpid flame]

same rip

[burnt dust]

at least I don't have to write a loci 🙏

[lusty coral]

yeah i'm sorry it was mad competitive it seems

[muted elk]

Im praying for cornell

But if i get accepted neu ed2 i have to withdraw lol

[limpid flame]

neu wants you

[burnt dust]

I don't need them anymore, you have'em

[lusty coral]

[lusty coral]

[limpid flame]

[burnt dust]

[muted elk]

I see now lmao

[burnt dust]

😭

[muted elk]

Im sad asf bc i was on good terms with a Cornell AO for the college im applying to but she didnt reply to me after my last email 😭

[burnt dust]

😭

[lusty coral]

neu wants you bad

[burnt dust]

[burnt dust]

NEU ED has 50% bruh

that or ED BU

or ED Tufts

[muted elk]

Ima have to take out mad loans for neu tho

[plucky depot]

If you got any questions on stats or anything else feel free to dm

[burnt dust]

Im also doing data sci so ill probably get nice co-ops so im not too worried abt neu loans

[burnt dust]

I'm just on my biochem/neuroscience grind

(applying as public health for some reasons I don't talk about)

NEU bio is actually pretty good

[cursive compass]

NEU is very good for bio actually

[lusty coral]

[cursive compass]

maybeee

[mild ice]

i’m applying to umass ed3, if they reject me 4,5,6 until i get in

[hardy shell]

[cursive compass]

their combined options are chefs kiss

[muted elk]

Yea i wanna do data sci and econ

[cursive compass]

CS + Design slayyy

[exotic jay]

but like so many people from my school go and i don’t like the ppl there

[cursive compass]

aw

[cursive compass]

this is so valid

[exotic jay]

i applied cs + sociology but i might do cs and stats if i attend

[cursive compass]

OH yeah NEU major switching is a fuckin breeze

[exotic jay]

yea it’s so easy

[burnt dust]

I love how NEU is taking over Umass Amherst thread

[cursive compass]

its like HEY AOUN I WANNA DO SUM ELSE

[cursive compass]

thats my job

[muted elk]

My friend at neu is doing 2 majors 2 minors 💀

[cursive compass]

[burnt dust]

Hahaha yas

[cursive compass]

ACADEMIC FUCKIN WEAPON

[muted elk]

HE IS

[untold haven]

summary please

[cursive compass]

nothing

[muted elk]

HES LITERALLY AND ACADEMIC WEAPON

[cursive compass]

umass might come monday tuesday? + NEU IS SO SLAY

thats all

[muted elk]

Hes doing bioeng and mech eng majors with minors in cs and math

[cursive compass]

oml

[muted elk]

And im like wtf

[untold haven]

Does northeastern gives scholarships for intls?

[cursive compass]

two engineering majors??!?! only at NEU™️

[burnt dust]

NEU pls let me in so I can change my instagram bio the moment I see “we’re pleased to…”

[cursive compass]

probably honestly

[exotic jay]

jesus christ is he graduating in 5 years

[muted elk]

I think so

[cursive compass]

most NEU kids do, even without 69 majors. cause of co-op :)

[exotic jay]

yea that’s one of my cons of neu bc i’m thinking of doing a masters and 7 years of school seems exhausting

[muted elk]

But hes trying to get his graduation requirements waved so he only has to complete the requirements for his majors/minors

[exotic jay]

ooh like nupath

[muted elk]

Well u can still graduate in 4

[burnt dust]

But it’s NEU it won’t be that bad

[cursive compass]

accelerated masters :))

[untold haven]

me with 0 ap credits

[muted elk]

You can graduate in 4 years even with a combined major, thats what im tryna do

[cursive compass]

ye

@exotic jay https://registrar.northeastern.edu/article/plusone-program-accelerated-bachelorgraduate-degree-programs/

[exotic jay]

i have some ap credits but def not enough to pull of a combined major and a minor in 4

[cursive compass]

they have SO MANY OPTIONS

[exotic jay]

yea but i want to go abroad for my masters ideally bc masters programs are expensive in the us

[cursive compass]

its only 1 year

on top of BS/BA

[karmic dagger]

Does neu take transfer credits that I got in hs?

[cursive compass]

its an accelerated pathway

[cursive compass]

oh i see

[cursive compass]

prolly?

[hard sundial]

hehehaw

[cursive compass]

YES

[hard sundial]

why did i ignore NEU this whole time

[muted elk]

Neu is so sick

[hard sundial]

its a holy grail

relatively cheap post aid too

23k a yr

[muted elk]

They give pretty good merit aid too

[burnt dust]

The acceptance rate is getting lower and lower though

[hard sundial]

prolly wont get that bc early grad

[exotic jay]

^^

[hard sundial]

yea

whats the avg admit stats?

[exotic jay]

they accept a decent amount of ppl from my school but i’m worried lmao

[burnt dust]

Sameee

[hard sundial]

its relatively high for my school

[muted elk]

I heard from an ao that they want to accept more and more students in through ed, but idk if that was just an off hand comment or something theyre serious abt

[hard sundial]

but a lot of the time ppl dont report

esp in covid yrs

[burnt dust]

No one go what the heck

[hard sundial]

ik bru

[exotic jay]

here’s mine

[burnt dust]

Seriously might just cancel my EA NEU and ED2 it

[exotic jay]

currently the 2023 number is 85 this pic was from a while ago

[hard sundial]

i'd lowk ED2 NEU

but then its like i'lll find out abt so many other options

but at the same time i have a problem w almost all

NEU doesnt have any

[muted elk]

When i visited my friend he guest passed me into one of the dining halls and the food was delicious 🤤

[cursive compass]

NEU is literally

unproblematic

[hard sundial]

niche got my ass too stats wise

but its all skewed

bc rejects dont say

[muted elk]

How much debt would yall consider too much

[hard sundial]

over 150k for CS

[cursive compass]

over zero

[hard sundial]

also this ^

[exotic jay]

ideally none

[cursive compass]

tf you mean "also this"

bro said 150K OR ZERO

[hard sundial]

bc i can put maybe 10-15k a year towards school plus 30k of my personal savings

[cursive compass]

nothing else

ah i see

[hard sundial]

lmfao

[muted elk]

LOL

[cursive compass]

thats valid

but yeah CS, hopefully no debt

[muted elk]

Idk id be graduating with probably like 25k in debt and i cant tell if thats a lot 💀

[exotic jay]

but i’m likely gonna have to take out loans for umass according to their efc😭

[strong plank]

Y’all just to throw it out there if you get waitlisted I wouldn’t worry, becuase the yield rate for accepted students is like 20%, most waitlisters will probably get a spot in roster.

[exotic jay]

some people have six figures sooo

[hard sundial]

does NEU care abt yield

like is there a reason to ED2 NEU?

[muted elk]

Yea

[exotic jay]

neu loves ed applicants

[muted elk]

They track demonstrated interest

[muted elk]

Yep

[strong plank]

Easier admissions.

[hard sundial]

hmmm

ixix

icic*

[muted elk]

Im so sad that neu is need aware

I feel like im gonna be rejected bc of that

[strong plank]

You an international?

[muted elk]

No

Domestic

[exotic jay]

the CDS says that demonstrated interest is considered but it’s more like important

[mint smelt]

I don’t believe that

[muted elk]

But 0 efc

[strong plank]

Then it doesn’t apply to you.

Need aware is for internationals only.

[muted elk]

Theyre need aware domestic

[strong plank]

Really?

[mint smelt]

I think they’re artificially deflating their acceptance rate

[muted elk]

I emailed their fin aid office

Im pretty sure

[hard sundial]

JESUS

[muted elk]

Lemme double check

[hard sundial]

half?

[strong plank]

Damn that sucks.

[burnt dust]

I’m scared

[hard sundial]

okok so

how's NEU location and culture/party & social life

[strong plank]

Now that I think about it I don’t ever remember northeastern giving a full ride to anyone ever.

So they are probably super need aware.

[muted elk]

:(

[exotic jay]

good location, good party scene bc ur in boston

[muted elk]

Thats from fin aid office btw

[hard sundial]

valid

how many non white people

[strong plank]

Damn that sucks.

[muted elk]

My friend said theres some parties, but he said he also goes to parties at like harvard and mir

Mit**

[strong plank]

Personally though I don’t really see why you’d wanna go to northeastern.

[cursive compass]

probably is unlikely. and you realize they overadmit yeah?

[hard sundial]

oh thats right

[muted elk]

And hes a first semester student too

[cursive compass]

disagree

[hard sundial]

V nice

[cursive compass]

i love NEU

[hard sundial]

i lowk might ED2 NEU then

[muted elk]

Why?

[strong plank]

By that much?

[hard sundial]

bc im looking at all of these

none of them sounds like the perfect school

NEU lowk does

[muted elk]

NEU campus is also pretty nice for a city campus

And ur near newburry st which is nice

And boston is a rlly nice city

[hard sundial]

yea city location is great

[exotic jay]

neu is pretty diverse

[hard sundial]

esp non-college town city

tho walkability is a slight worry

[exotic jay]

it’s mostly white and asian tho

[burnt dust]

I have so many friends at bu bc and neu

[cursive compass]

nah boston is walkable enough™️

[strong plank]

Super expensive and not really worth it, they offer nice abroad programs and internships but it’s not something worth paying 80k a year for. Every NEU applicant in my school is above the average income level in our town. And city location is literally not that serious you can just go to BU which is like 2 minutes away from campus.

[burnt dust]

THIS

[hard sundial]

perf

[strong plank]

I’m fact northeastern had like a 80% acceptance rate like 20 years ago.

[hard sundial]

https://www.society19.com/21-reasons-northeastern-worst-school-earth/

[burnt dust]

I run around in Boston all the time

[hard sundial]

good read

[strong plank]

They just decided to be more strict with admissions.

[hard sundial]

no

[muted elk]

Moneys not a problem for me bc id only be paying 5k a year with 5k loans

[hard sundial]

every1 j found out how good they are

[cursive compass]

disagree with the "not worth it"
and its a better school than BU at this point FOR SURE

[strong plank]

Yes.

[hard sundial]

^

and spam applied

[muted elk]

No not rlly

[strong plank]

Eh how so?

[burnt dust]

Better than bu with a lower cost

[untold haven]

#1050794343247654952

nah continue

[hard sundial]

how is food/dorms

[burnt dust]

Like I still love bu but neu is better

[muted elk]

Ive seen explanations for why NEU is so much more “prestigious”, and it makes sense

[untold haven]

I need to know where to use my ED2

[muted elk]

Food SLAPS

[hard sundial]

v nice

unlim meal plan????

[exotic jay]

pretty good when i went

[hard sundial]

please say yes im a foodie

[muted elk]

I had buritos at NEU dining hall and they were fire

[untold haven]

how much scholarships NEU gives to intl'

considering ED2

[hard sundial]

im sorry

this is a dorm?

[muted elk]

And they have an ice cream machine with a topping bar. Plus a brownie/cake place

[hard sundial]

w this typa view?

[muted elk]

no

[strong plank]

True but remember they are need aware, northeastern basically knows you will be freeloading off them and they are stingy. So slap an ED2 or sum shit.

[hard sundial]

says its part of east villiage

[exotic jay]

ppl like neu over bu bc it has a more traditional college campus and co-ops

[muted elk]

I am. Thats why i doubt ill get in but if i do I’ll definitely go

[burnt dust]

THE VIEW WTF

[strong plank]

That’s just not real.

[hard sundial]

ik

its too good

YES

FUCKING YES

UNLIMITED FOOD

[muted elk]

Uhh idk I visited my friends dorm in east village and it looked nothing like this lol

[hard sundial]

oh damn

[strong plank]

100% but apply to schools like BU that actually promise to meet 100% demonstrated need.

[burnt dust]

Yess unlimited meal

[hard sundial]

okay guys

[burnt dust]

I can eat so much food

[hard sundial]

nick name change

[strong plank]

And don’t avidly list they want your money.

[burnt dust]

Yup

[hard sundial]

officially a NEU simp

how's work life balance

[burnt dust]

Name change

[hard sundial]

last question then i'll dip

[muted elk]

Yea im applying to BU, BC, tufts bc they meet 100% need and are need blind

[burnt dust]

Name change

[exotic jay]

and run the NPC

[strong plank]

Good man.

[cursive compass]

@strong plank
NEU = essentially guaranteed co-ops (and employer name esp in tech), also solid undergraduate research, combined major opportunities, a ton of accelerated degree opportunities. Khoury and D'Amore-McKIm are rising really quickly as well.
BU = Questrom (arguably so), lack of campus, a more historic lay prestige than NEU i guess.

there

[muted elk]

I like BU too tbh, but i CANT walk that much everyday

[strong plank]

Sure, sounds great, but is it worth 300,000 dollars after 4 years?

[burnt dust]

I love walking / running

[cursive compass]

is BU?

LMFAO

the point is not is NEU good

[strong plank]

Yes because you won’t be paying that much.

They are need BLIND.

Hint hint.

[exotic jay]

yea but bu can fuck ppl over with aid

not as much as nyu

[strong plank]

I know people with financial situations rejected from NU even with good grades and paying only 15k a year at BU.

[muted elk]

Neu offers some decent merit aid from what ive heard

[burnt dust]

I am gonna run around the Charles again the morning :D (should probably gts now)

[burnt dust]

This

[cursive compass]

NEU is surprisingly good with aid actually! Need-blind only refers to if they consider it in admissions @strong plank you have the wrong definition

https://studentfinance.northeastern.edu/applying-for-aid/undergraduate/the-northeastern-promise/

[strong plank]

Problem is that it’s shared with international students too so it’s competitive, thankfully it is better than BUs shitty merit scholarships they award to only like 4 people.

[cursive compass]

you have the wrong definition

[exotic jay]

also you prolly won’t walking around BU’s whole campus every day tho

[cursive compass]

of need-blind

lmao

[exotic jay]

bu merit sucks lmao

[muted elk]

My friend got a scholarship for like 30k+ or something and he just had a 1520 sat, and a couple 5s

[cursive compass]

congrats!

anyways sharpshot are you convinced

if so my job is done

[burnt dust]

Pfffft

[hard sundial]

alright guys

[burnt dust]

How much is NEU paying you to do this

😭

[hard sundial]

now who wants to chanceme for NEU

/s

or is it?

[strong plank]

So they are good with aid by rejecting people who clearly need it, and then giving rich kids who can afford it a 4K a year scholarship for their 80k a year tuition? Sounds like a deal to me!

[muted elk]

Theyre tracking this as demonstrated interest

😭

[burnt dust]

Bruh

[exotic jay]

it’s the way this chat turned into neu simps

[hard sundial]

i will lliterally print this out and mail it to them

w a check for 10 million

[untold haven]

Ok just found out NEU doesn't give a shit to intl

[cursive compass]

Also purely off of full tuition: BU is 61,050 and NEU is 59,100

[untold haven]

umass>>>>>NEU

[burnt dust]

Hi NEU AO Please let me in

[muted elk]

Does umass give aid to intls?

[strong plank]

🤨 full price at NEU is 80,000.

[exotic jay]

those numbers are out of date

[strong plank]

I know people paying full 80k tuition at NEU.

[burnt dust]

BU is not any lower I think

[cursive compass]

80k tuition??

[untold haven]

16k merit scholarships at max, but cost half price of northeastern

[hard sundial]

they're genuinely crazy

[cursive compass]

theres no way what the fuck

[hard sundial]

320k debt is not worth it

[exotic jay]

BU and NEU are roughly the same price

[strong plank]

Exactly why I’m scared of that.

[hard sundial]

like that is astronomical

[cursive compass]

this^^

[untold haven]

320k debt 💀

[muted elk]

Oh, are they need blind or aware for intl?

[untold haven]

they don't give any need based aid

[cursive compass]

FULL TUITION SORRY

[untold haven]

just merit

[cursive compass]

MY BAD

[muted elk]

Oh oops

[karmic dagger]

If you do co-op for a year it's only 240k of debt!

[cursive compass]

^

[muted elk]

I like umass

[hard sundial]

dang

that is cheaper

[muted elk]

But campus is soooo big

[hard sundial]

whats co-op

[exotic jay]

like the full coa is a negligible amount

[hard sundial]

again

[untold haven]

only!!!!

[burnt dust]

Facts

[hard sundial]

i forgot

[cursive compass]

basically guaranteed co-ops make it cheaper lol

than BU

for sure

[burnt dust]

Yeah I forgot about coop

Oops

[cursive compass]

yepp

[hard sundial]

holy shit

[cursive compass]

i wasnt mentioning it cause BU doesnt have them

but like

[muted elk]

Co-ops are neus high point, youre graduating with like 1 full year of experience

[hard sundial]

CO OP is op

yea

okay i need ot ED2 here

wtf

[muted elk]

Which gives u such a boost in job search

[cursive compass]

you triggered my trap card (co-ops)!!

[strong plank]

Trust me dude I like northeastern I just hate their prices and how they debt students, I have a friend of mine, comp sci admit ED and is paying 76,000 a year. Only reason why I mention BU is purely for the fact they are somewhat similar. But BU is a bit less stingy.

[hard sundial]

why did i ignore this

[strong plank]

I do get most of my info from locals I know so I guess it could vary anywhere else but hey.

Just a theory.

[karmic dagger]

I really wish my parents let me ed to neu 😭

[strong plank]

A game theory.

[muted elk]

Well if ur not getting any aid, u can probably afford the 70k/yr

[strong plank]

Same here.

[muted elk]

Pop a ed2

[burnt dust]

^^

[cursive compass]

NEU is likely at par with need-based aid grants for BU; NEU is much better with merit aid than BU

[strong plank]

Yeah but if you can’t afford it, then you’ll probably get rejected.

Or if you’re a really good student stack yourself with merits.

[exotic jay]

yeaa neu is better with merit aid but bu has better need based aid

[cursive compass]

if their paying 76k, their fafsa/css or whatever says they can afford that much

[mossy thunder]

https://tenor.com/view/so-proud-of-this-community-proud-of-this-community-gif-17813704

[cursive compass]

thats not an NEU issue

[muted elk]

LMAO

[karmic dagger]

Is there just a form I have fill out on the portal?

[cursive compass]

"probably" thats not really true for anyone but int'ls

lmao

[exotic jay]

prolly bc neu endowment is lower than bu but lemme look that up

[burnt dust]

I am reallyyyy tempted to withdraw my NEU EA and ED 2 it

[strong plank]

100% agreed, but merits are a lot harder to earn.

[cursive compass]

yeah ofc

but you are saying aid in general

[muted elk]

Im ed2ing but pretty confident in a rejection just bc 0 efc

[cursive compass]

don't blame your rejection on efc

[muted elk]

Not sure

[cursive compass]

sharpshot is overstating the need consideration for domestics

i think

[exotic jay]

you fill it out in the portal i think

[hard sundial]

Insanely

[muted elk]

Well theyre still need aware, and with a 0 efc my chances at a need aware school are already stupid low

[hard sundial]

I have 38k efc but npc said 52k scholarship

[muted elk]

And im not a super competitive applicant either

[karmic dagger]

Epic, time to make slideshow to convince my parents that ed2 is a good idea

[exotic jay]

yea neu loves ed applicants

[hard sundial]

How willing r u to pay full price

[cursive compass]
