mint root
a huge chunk of kids who enroll r from the mid atlantic and new england
mint root
the ed pool is much smaller tho
smoky tiger
Ya but just means everyone who’s in it is hella competitive
mint root
i don’t think geographical residence effects decisions that much especially in ed
mint root
the ivy rejects tend to apply ed2 to NYU or northeastern
smoky tiger

mint root
espeically if you ed
smoky tiger

Maybe I’ll get into BU then
I mean I don’t wanna act stuck up but my stats r there

How do u know what your efc is based off the six numbers they give 😭
it’s on FAFSA when they finish processing ur application
digital iron
Yeah NEU is mostly stats
🤷♂️ 3.5 is pretty good can get into most schools with good essays / supps besides the ones that prioritize stats like GT or NEU, that sat tho mine was like 1180 😭
mint root
yea i have a 3.7 which is apparently kinda of low for bu now!
burnt zephyr
neu prioritizes stats?
mint root
oh yea
burnt zephyr
me when i’m test optional 😭😭
mint root
they want to game the system so they defer hella ppl ea just to reject them later and focus on ed commits to up yield
mint root
me when i’m test optional 😭😭
same😭😭
burnt zephyr
they want to game the system so they defer hella ppl ea just to reject them late...
yeah i’m definitely not worried about neu anymore after this
mint root
BU and NEU have the same yield rate (32%)
mint root
32% admitted attend the school
burnt zephyr
OHHH
digital iron
neu prioritizes stats?
Yeah mainly SAT scores just like GT
digital iron
But like other things also will take account into like class rigor
Since test optional
mint root
the average yield rate is like 50% or so
burnt zephyr
i think i have a nice shot at BU
mint root
it’s not just sat
digital iron
I know my friend got into honors she didn’t submit test score from my knowledge
smoky tiger
I calculated mine online bc I didn’t wanna have that boost for A+ it’s unrealistic
mint root
it’s gpa and course rigor
digital iron
👍
burnt zephyr
i have 8 ap’s & 6-7 honors under my belt
mint root
schools in mass use the 4.0 system with a A+ being a 4.3
burnt zephyr
i also took 3 honor classes in middle school lol
burnt zephyr
schools in mass use the 4.0 system with a A+ being a 4.3
for UW?
digital iron
I have 7 aps then my school only just gives us honors classes I think plus like the ASP program at my school helped a lot
mint root
3.71UW and a 4.3W
burnt zephyr
wait y’all have up to 4.3 for UW?
digital iron
3.9 UW 101.5 W idk what my weighted is on a 4.0 scale Lmao
smoky tiger
I have 7 aps then my school only just gives us honors classes I think plus like ...
I think I have 11 APs but i forgot tbh
mint root
BU and most other schools recalculate your gpa anyway
smoky tiger
ya that’s what I was gonna say
digital iron
I think I have 11 APs but i forgot tbh
Idk I didn’t take many
burnt zephyr
texas transcripts r so confusing
smoky tiger
I’m nerdy like tjatv
digital iron
I could of had like 10+ if I took history aps here
mint root
wait y’all have up to 4.3 for UW?
yea but it’s next to impossible to have a 4.3UW unless you took like all CP/on level classes
smoky tiger
But 1550 and 34 r pretty good for BU imo
mint root
i took 5 aps and rest of my classes r honors
mint root
the sat averages for bu aren’t super high
digital iron
Ong
smoky tiger
That’s some Ivy material bro
UPenn rejected me 😀
digital iron
The average at bu is 1490 or something
burnt zephyr
y’all we are making a gc as soon as we get in
digital iron
UPenn rejected me 😀
I’m sorry respectfully 😭
mint root
y’all we are making a gc as soon as we get in
this FS
smoky tiger
I also feel like lowk BU doesn’t care much Abt my Scores anyways
like will they look at that and go wow?
mint root
the only school i’d choose over bu is barnard/columbia and penn but they’re ivies so
mint root
like will they look at that and go wow?
it’ll help but not as much as it would for like northeastern where they highly value stats

CS no one could give a fuck about where you got your degree from
💀
They just want that applied knowledge and to see that you are able to work diligently
mint root
if i want a masters i’ll prolly only go to an ivy bc it’s not even super necessary anyway for cs
digital iron
All the TA in my CS class are self taught working at Microsoft I’m like man

burnt zephyr
imagine going to a good texas high school
my school is like corrupted
most of the students aren’t rightfully ranked lol
digital iron
most of the students aren’t rightfully ranked lol
Wdym by that

That nice top 6% auto
burnt zephyr
yessss and they r all applying to UT
mint root
texas seems like a social experiment
digital iron
um ppl literally cheat off each other & beg teachers to inflate their grades😭😭
Ok cheating normal
Teachers inflating grades
Not normal
😭
Teachers willingly increasing grades for certain students is crazy
burnt zephyr
But when it comes to the SAT,PSAT, & ACT I score better than all of them
that’s why i think ranking isnt really a true indicator lol
digital iron
Ranking more like who take the most ap for gpa boost
mint root
my school doesn’t rank bc people would go insane for val and sal
junior hawk
the top 10 at my school literally have a cheating system and they all help each other
like memorize test answers quiz answers essay prompts
digital iron
I don’t think test are an indicator of what you are capable of imo things like SAT can be study for months in advanced to achieve high marks

when i asked her she just said “we like to congratulate a few minoriry students in person before decisions drop” but i was also hysterical so maybe she said something else
mint root
oh so it’s minority students in general
junior hawk
yeah idk how many they do tho
but i also think they match ur caller to what school u go to bc my caller is in sargent
i thoght it was fake so i googled her and found her facebook and linken oops

do asian students get calls too or 💀
i would assume so

No
I didn’t get a call

Asian is one of the majority at BU
I think it’s a good 27%

asians r a plurality

Too many Asians at BU to be called a minority LMAO

i don’t think every minority student gets one tho

I am also a first gen

i don’t think every minority student gets one tho
Yeah no it’s like about 100 I think
Or so
But I don’t think Asian fits into the minority demographic at BU
Technically speaking

i’m hoping bu didn’t get that much more apps
digital iron
Because this the breakdown of demographics
digital iron
i’m hoping bu didn’t get *that* much more apps
Idk tbh this year do be every colleges record high

like northeastern got like 96k apps this year compared to 91k last year and 75k the year before

USC tho got so many apps regardless of having like so many supps is crazy to me
digital iron
Penn still saw a record high ED apps I think
mint root
yea they did
BU got like 80k apps last year so im thinking it won’t increase as much as it did the year before
maybe like 85k max bc the hot boston school is northeastern

Too many Asians at BU to be called a minority LMAO
