HAHAHA

agile spruce
#

if berk wasnā€™t $75k OOS tuition i wouldā€™ve applied

deep goblet
#

ucb could be worth oos tuition if u just dont apply for aid in general

#

if ur rich enough

celest scroll
#

Yeah the money for Berkeley isnā€™t toooo bad

#

But

#

Itā€™s a disaster of a school

deep goblet
#

also doesnt berkeley do scholarships anyway?

agile spruce
#

whatā€™s regents gonna do for me? bring my cost down to $73k? šŸ’€šŸ’€šŸ’€

deep goblet
#

oh

#

LMAOOO

#

nvm

agile spruce
#

their highest scholarship is like 2.5k

deep goblet
#

nevermind

#

gawdamn

#

no ucs for me LMAO

#

id rather take my chance with stanford, caltech, and the claremonts

celest scroll
#

Besides thereā€™s no housing

#

No space in classes

#

Haas is competitive to get into

deep goblet
#

and their business school is only 2 years

celest scroll
#

Crime

#

Just not worth it for 75k

deep goblet
#

yuo

#

yup

#

ross > haas fr

#

umich best public fr

celest scroll
#

Iā€™d pay the extra 5k and go to Michigan but thatā€™s also crazy expensive for a state school

#

When I have Wisco in state

deep goblet
#

is michigan really that expensive?

#

oos?

agile spruce
#

angie what major did you apply for

celest scroll
#

Nearly 80k

#

Oos

deep goblet
#

i thought it was like 72k

deep goblet
#

or economics

#

or math

#

depending on the school

#

i applied to the lacs for math

celest scroll
deep goblet
#

ivies for econ

#

#

(i didnt apply to dyson i applied to A&S)

deep goblet
agile spruce
#

deep goblet
#

agile spruce
#

#

šŸ™

deep goblet
#

the only school in cali i applied to are pomona and harvey mudd

#

#

Howā€™d you get in Duke already šŸ’€

dusky cipher
#

i didnt lmao

#

but id rather nu

celest scroll
#

It depends on what major but I like duke more

#

Better weather, smaller, semester system

#

But like if I was a journalism major, it wouldnā€™t be hard to pick nu

dusky cipher
#

im going for music + engineering dual degree so nu was always my #1 haha

#

but yeah duke is fire too

celest scroll
#

That makes sense

#

NU is really well known for music, right?

dusky cipher

yeah bienen is pretty well-known

Iā€™m not just going into journalism Iā€™m going into PRINT journalism so ya Iā€™m gonna be swimming in cashā€¦

True

hasty jetty
#

Maybe Iā€™m old fashioned but I donā€™t think the bloggers are full-fledged journalists

celest scroll
#

Not really, although some of the shit I've seen lately really makes me question full-fledged journos too

hasty jetty
#

Thereā€™s lots of problems with the journalism industry

#

Tho I think the next Gen of journos will hopefully improve things

#

One of my internships rn, itā€™s old fashioned print stuff, my editor is really a huge proponent of the youngsters. Sheā€™s in her 60s and took a chance on me (and itā€™s not like they have a crazy big budget) and is super good with feedback

celest scroll
#

What kind of stuff do you do as an intern?

#

Recently I did a piece on the city champs of academic decathlon, an airport expansion project, a community protest for increased teacher and school staff wages, etc

its to my benefit anyways

fierce bluff
#

Lol, counselor told me uchicago loses most cross admit battles to NU

open yoke
#

how would you even compare that

#

most are accepted ED

#

when comparing the people who go to uchicago vs NU off of ED/RD are you not comparing mostly an RD applicant pool

yeah, and EA

i am manifesting this so hard

i love my why NU essay

altho its lowk similar to my why duke

my why nu essay was pretty fire as well

crystal oriole
#

no bc brown did this too

#

Iā€™m confuse

haughty stirrup
#

Itā€™s too vague to make sense out of it I think

crystal oriole
#

tru

#

Even if I get in I think Iā€™m too scared to try their engineering curriculum

fossil jetty
#

Oop what I typed didn't load

#

But basically sometimes they do this for additional context about you

#

Ik this is especially the case for people with insane lab experiences. Nothing against their qualification, but they might have gotten those because their parents work there

#

My Penn interviewer rlly stressed this after I told him I did research (not even anything crazy). I basically spent 30 minutes telling him about how I received each internship, and not what I did in them.

I decided to apply here the day before the deadline, my essay is so bad lmao

My why NU was about how Iā€™m the worst Spanish student in my Spanish class and my common app essay involved all of the following: lawsuits, email surveillance, nazis, laws and the breaking of those laws, and ultimatums

#

But hey a win is a win

woven jungle
#

HUH

#

mine were SO straightforward šŸ˜­

agile spruce
#

mine were a little bit unhinged

woven jungle
#

my common app was ab barbies LMAO

#

and my why NU was ab me dressing up as presidents when i was a kid

agile spruce
#

my nu was about idk

#

i think how i have a ton of interests

#

and then my culture

#

P1: general DI + what classes iā€™d explore

P2: my interests in my major + major related DI

P3: culture + clubs DI

woven jungle
#

yuh mine was ab my immersive approach to education and how NU would continue that + my major/future career and how NU would support that thru specific programs and certificates + culture at NU and how i would contribute to NU's diversity

hasty jetty
#

What majors are yā€™all applying to?

woven jungle
#

i applied poli sci concentrating in political representation i believe

agile spruce
#

astro + physics

and i think public policy

Not trying to flex at all in any way and this is more embarrassing than a flex but I wrote my why NU in a single day in the Dominican Republic and then submitted my entire app day of while the cruise was leaving port in 15 min so I wouldnā€™t lose island connection. Itā€™s the funniest thing ever to me (it was grad gift and my parents donā€™t splurge that often, just last family trip.)

So Iā€™m not getting in šŸ’€

Lmao I was scared for you for a sec

white lagoon

its just mostly reaches at this point

celest scroll
#

CWRU isnā€™t too bad but they do yield protect

white lagoon

yeah they deferred

#

they also dont have linguistics which i wanna double major in

celest scroll
#

Same with NEU, but itā€™s also very random bc they have too many applicants

#

How do they not have linguisticsā€¦

white lagoon
#

idk cwru just doesnt have ling

#

not even a minor

celest scroll
#

Is linguistics less common than I think? Or is case just weird

white lagoon
#

its p uncommon in my research

#

most smaller schools dont have it

celest scroll
#

Interestingā€¦ Whatā€™s your other major?

white lagoon
#

especially since im mainly looking for good cs schools

#

cs

celest scroll
#

Damn you should have applied to duke

white lagoon
#

ik

celest scroll
#

They have good cs and linguistics

white lagoon
#

they have cs/ling already

#

yeah i just ran out of time for them and i live in georgia and am just kinda tired of the south

celest scroll
#

Thatā€™s fair

white lagoon
#

also theres nothing in north carolina

celest scroll
#

Northwestern is kind of a northern version of duke from what Iā€™ve seen

white lagoon
#

yeah

#

so surprised they made march madness

as well as a local college like 45 minutes from my house that i didnt even know had a basketball team

celest scroll
#

I think itā€™s only their second mm appearance

white lagoon

Somehow Wisconsin didnā€™t even make march madness this year šŸ˜¢

Boston college campus is slightly older but also kinda open like NU

but MIT campuses are quite scattered

oh ye also Tufts if u want kinda like hilly areas (cuz Tufts is literally on like a mountain range or sth lol)

Northeastern also is quite good but too much trees tho

ā€œRegional alumni volunteers on our Alumni Admission Council (AAC) conduct all interviews off campus, which means our ability to offer interviews depends entirely on alumni geography, availability, and capacity. All AAC interviewers complete a comprehensive training program and sign a Volunteer Code of Conduct prior to meeting with students.ā€

formal marlin
#

the wording of the email gv me the impression that they do care bout interviews

olive mirage
#

they do care, if you do get one it will be evaluated

formal marlin
#

makes sense

rich gate
#

Usually, interviews are not a HUGE deal, and getting one usually just depends on availability of alumni/staff near you or just generally, so they understand if you can't get one.

but itā€™s fine my interviewer was a nerd from bay area who studied in korea for a year, spit rizz on a girl, brought her to the us, and we had an awesome interview on his private discord server with his girl cooking in the background and us talking about video games

worthy steeple

I feel like my northwestern, Rochester, and Cornell intervejws went well but omg my tufts one was so weird we didnā€™t really connect

But to be fair to her it was a rescheduled interview bc a family member of hers died I bet she just wasnā€™t in the mood

I think that is good. If you write something personal and a little vulnerable which shows your personality clearly, then yes, that's great

No, ofc not

Send it my way. I'm in bed, so if I don't see your message tonight, I will look tomorrow. I'm happy to help

@rich gate dms

agile spruce
#

wait, were we required to send an update letter being vulnerable/telling NU more about ourselves if we didnā€™t get the interview?

#

I sent an update letter, but it was more so ā€œhereā€™s what Iā€™ve been doingā€ than ā€œiā€™m here to serenade you with demonstrated interestā€

olive mirage
agile spruce
#

yeah, i figured requesting the interview and attending an info session + clicking around with links and stuff and signing up for news letters and whatnot was demonstrated enough

olive mirage
#

ive attended one or two information sessions for northwestern

kind pine
#

ssame^

olive mirage
#

there was an in person one i attended paired with 4 other schools where the ao came to our school

#

and then i attended an entrepreneurship virtual, pre-med virtual, and a dorm tour virtual, and a information session virtual paired with 4 other schools

#

i just realized i did a lot of stuff for demonstrated interest, i didnt visit campus tho :(

rich gate
#

I'm not saying vulnerable as in pouring your emotions into it, I mean in the sense of showing them who you are, at the core, by giving them a different way to look at you and understand you, your passion, your motivations, your ambitions, and how NU fits into it

placid sun

Bruh I didn't get any of that and I asked for interview

agile spruce
#

definitely shouldā€™ve done that if it wasnā€™t the case, though

#

I didnā€™t see anywhere in the portal to specifically upload ā€œthis is my interview supplementā€ so I just followed through with an update letter, I think I conveyed myself well in my NU essay

celest scroll
agile spruce
#

Alrighty, hopefully

celest scroll
#

A list of updates was all I sent

agile spruce
#

Same here

celest scroll
#

Even that isn't really expected

#

Helps for demonstrated interest but the majority of applicants probably don't send updates.

#

I only sent updates to my demonstrated interest schools

agile spruce
#

I sent updates to all of my schools

#

except JHU

#

i just didnā€™t include a DI portion to anywhere but harvard, since i was deferred

celest scroll
#

It probably doesn't hurt. But unless your updates are something better than what you listed on your common app, they probably won't care much. That's what I've heard anyway

agile spruce
#

yeah I had a national, a few regional, and an international award to report, + some large scale community impact, so i think it should help

#

but hasnā€™t so far. weā€™ll see

#

I donā€™t think they really see updates until theyā€™re in committee

celest scroll
#

Yeah. What they don't like is people harassing them for a stupid award like 50 hours of volunteering or 3rd place in a track meet yk

agile spruce
#

yeah ofc lmao and obviously most people shouldnā€™t be sending more than one

#

updating them about your breakfast isnā€™t really worthwhile

#

they suggest you donā€™t update about anything below national really unless itā€™s combined with other stuff

celest scroll
#

Yup lmao. I had several awards but basically all of them were a continuation of my Common app. They were decent but just nothing above what I already did. But since I had several I sent it to my demonstrated interest schools

agile spruce
#

^ pretty much same, i didnā€™t have any standalone new awards except for one

#

i think itā€™s worthwhile to see that youā€™re continuing your activities though
