[edgy field]

Sorry 32

[edgy field]

[fossil bear]

like only recently did i see tsinghua rise up and shit

[edgy field]

QS is more recognized globally

[fossil bear]

despite it being a very good school for a while

[edgy field]

As a ranking system

[fossil bear]

[edgy field]

Yes

Love TsingHua

[timber mirage]

Qs is weird

[fossil bear]

qs

[timber mirage]

Penn state is p high up there

[cloud thorn]

[fossil bear]

my late father went to tsinghua

[edgy field]

A ranking that is highly used by most intl schools

[fossil bear]

lwk fucjing me rn since im not a first gen stufent

[edgy field]

I was in TsingHua’s excellence program and was gonna get admitted but thanks to the MOE’s regulations I cannot go to China to study

[cloud thorn]

moe?

[agile spruce]

tsinghua is an amazing school

[edgy field]

Ministry of education

[fossil bear]

yeah it is

[edgy field]

My father went to peking not TsingHua

But TsingHua Is gold

[fossil bear]

he went for bio when it first opened

[edgy field]

I like both tbh

[edgy field]

Ah

Finance on my family’s side

[cloud thorn]

[fossil bear]

yeah my fam is rlt bio heavy

[pine gorge]

What's caste btw

[edgy field]

That’s good

[fossil bear]

uncle went to fudan i think

[edgy field]

Caste system

It’s an Indian segregation system

[cloud thorn]

No clue

[pine gorge]

Iran
You also have gender based admissions?

[fossil bear]

i mean it formerly was

[cloud thorn]

we have every sort of discriminatory admission process.

[fossil bear]

bro is from india

i think he would know

💀

[cloud thorn]

Dude

I'm indian

[edgy field]

He just said he doesn’t know much about it

[agile spruce]

do you only know ur caste if ur brahmin?

[cloud thorn]

I know everything about it. It's not at all used here

LMFAO

[edgy field]

Right sure go disagree with thousands of research journals

Are you illiterate? Read.

.

.

[placid sun]

I am not educated on the topic so I wont take a side

[agile spruce]

no i was just curious sorry

[placid sun]

but that question isn't relevant

Alright

[agile spruce]

i wasn’t asking pertaining to the argument

[placid sun]

but i think its obvious why it kinda comes off that way

but mb then

[agile spruce]

he said he was intl

[placid sun]

he's china I thought (?)

idk

Lmao

[fossil bear]

tbh

[cloud thorn]

me?

[tulip temple]

yeah idk sounds sus

[placid sun]

nono

winton

[edgy field]

Ow about this meow

You do some research

You will realize

That your personal experience

Does not cover everything

[fossil bear]

yo alr this is going very far

this thread is abr northwestern

[cloud thorn]

the other ones don't make news

[fossil bear]

might i suggest going to dms

[cloud thorn]

that's about it

[edgy field]

Right

[agile spruce]

i wish i applied to intl universities

[fossil bear]

yeah while i think ur convo is important

not the best place 💀

[fair nymph]

Rule 1 and 5

Cork it

Now

[cloud thorn]

frankly, i don't give a rat's ass about india. But the way y'all see it is the same we we assume that there are school shootings in the US everyday

[edgy field]

👍

[cloud thorn]

but that's not true

[fair nymph]

Redirect this to DMs or change the topic or I’m issuing warns

Last verbal

[pine gorge]

Are u domestic?

[agile spruce]

i am

[pine gorge]

Where did u wanna apply

[feral falcon]

I think the UK system is very cool

[agile spruce]

cambridge, utokyo, and sorbonne

leiden i don’t meet the fluency req

[pine gorge]

Where is it

[young ferry]

when is northwestern decision?

[fossil bear]

tmr

[cloud thorn]

27 hours... approx

[pine gorge]

Only if France accepted my hs diploma😭

[agile spruce]

netherlands

[pine gorge]

I could even pass the delf exam if I studied a bit

[agile spruce]

yeah idk if they’d accept me without BAC

what level delf do they require

[pine gorge]

Ig B2/B1? That seems to be what most unis want

Def not higher than B2 so dw

[agile spruce]

ah

yeah i’m probably B1

they’re good for astro tho

it says B2 but they’re lenient

[dapper oracle]

I'm trying to get there for the summer

[young ferry]

how far is O block from northwestern?

[agile spruce]

they said you can register in intensive language classes

[dapper oracle]

You can get a student visa to France with only a B1 level...

[agile spruce]

wow

[pine gorge]

Yeah for the embassy b1 is enough

[dapper oracle]

And B1 really isn't that much

[pine gorge]

Same is true for Italian and German

[dapper oracle]

B1 is the ability to have everyday conversation with locals and the ability to talk about your interests at a slightly deeper level

B2 is considered fluent

[pine gorge]

But like I wanna go to the US because the EU wouldn't be so safe for me

France is cool though

[sleek saddle]

Paris is a mess rn tho 💀

[pine gorge]

But they don't accept my HS diploma

[dapper oracle]

It's burning down

Hopefully that stops before I go lol

[pine gorge]

Honestly it's not worse than where I live lol

Protest-wise

[dapper oracle]

The pitfalls of socialism lmao

[pine gorge]

Lyon >>> Paris

[sleek saddle]

Sciences Po is pretty cool

[dapper oracle]

Je veux aller le sud de la France

[sleek saddle]

should've done more research on Europe I only applied to one

[formal marlin]

Je ne comprends pas

[pine gorge]

Le Midi

[dapper oracle]

Oh? Tu ne sais pas la signification de "le sud de la France" ?

[pine gorge]

I only know Marseille in the south

And it's so beautiful

[dapper oracle]

What about Nice

[sleek saddle]

Nice, st tropez

[pine gorge]

Omg I've never heard about Nice before lol

Adding it to my list

The beach>>>

[formal marlin]

Shi I did French for gcse 😂 ion kno anth anymore got a B

[dapper oracle]

Damn

I took 3 Spanish classes and speak no Spanish so I understand

[pine gorge]

Me with Arabic:

I can read and understand but that's about it lol

[dapper oracle]

J'étudie le français d'une façon autodidacte

I think that's a proper way to say that

[lilac eagle]

[inner plaza]

Rly

Thought C was fluent

Cuz I’m B2.2

Well I was B1.2 in 6th grade

Then somehow my school fucked up

And 6 years later I’m 2 stages above

[dapper oracle]

There are different levels of fluency

[astral flume]

[dapper oracle]

Look up CEFR

[foggy rock]

Does anyone have the admitted students tour link

[agile spruce]

why

[unique shard]

when does it come out

[agile spruce]

I see what you mean

it’s a troll

[open yoke]

i would assume around 5 pm cst or whenever their office closes

whenever their office closes is most likely

around that time

[warm drift]

please northwestern i love evanston

[unique shard]

.there. Is. No. Established. Time. Just. Check. Portal.

[long sail]

If I get NW itd be a rly difficult decision 😭

But I prob won’t do

So

[vast pier]

My strategy is to just wait until this chat starts blowing uo and then ill know

[warm star]

So real so much easier to check discord or Reddit than check my portal lol

[dapper oracle]

My thought exactly

[fair horizon]

LMFAOO

[viral needle]

[grand crater]

Can’t wait for my next waitlist/rejection!!!!

[ocean mesa]

[olive mirage]

[fierce bluff]

I got this, y'all.

We're sorry! Something went wrong. This registration form is for admitted students only. If you have been admitted to Northwestern and are unable to submit this form, please contact us at [email protected]. If you have not yet applied to Northwestern (or are awaiting a decision), please visit our website to register for prospect tour.

[trail void]

no

yeah

[fierce bluff]

Not really reassuring.

[olive mirage]

yeah does the same thing for me

does that mean we arent admitted or is it just not unlocked yet

[fierce bluff]

Who knows.

Not a "good sign" though, that's for sure.

And for some other dates all I get is Access Denied.

[olive mirage]

i dont think it means anything

just means they havent uploaded decisions to the portal yet

[velvet lily]

i cant register lol

[olive mirage]

what does it show

[agile spruce]

if it says access denied try a different day

[agile spruce]

everyone has that

[velvet lily]

not expecting much from NU

[olive mirage]

[timber mirage]

I believe in you

I’ll go to campus tomorrow to give y’all good vibes

[olive mirage]

thank you

im so scared i feel like im just gonna go to my state school

[timber mirage]

Which school

[olive mirage]

university of oklahoma

[timber mirage]

I doubt that

I bet it’ll work out

[olive mirage]

hope so

idek what colleges want bruh, i tell them im interested in chemistry, create 2 publications on a new molecule, do cancer research, and then they admit the dude that runs multicultural club at school with 15 different people

[placid sun]

I know bro

I got in places now but bro

Why couldnt we at least have had a decent state flagship

[olive mirage]

bro im considering going to utulsa

[placid sun]

idk anything about it

[olive mirage]

its not as high ranked, but they pay you to go there with the national merit scholarship, and the only reason their ranking isnt high is because they never tried to ace the rankings

imo better than OU

[placid sun]

I see

free college is good

[olive mirage]

yeah, but stanford is nicer

[placid sun]

True also

[trail void]

yall obsessed with stanford

[fierce bluff]

where’d you get this

[agile spruce]

ed released 3:30pm cst

just speculation

[placid sun]

@agile spruce is northwestern ur top choice

of what schools u have left

I assume

it is

but yeah

[agile spruce]

yes

[placid sun]

is it good for astro

I mean

I assume it is

but I hadnt heard of astro at NU before being super amazing

[kind pine]

shii i just realized i applied undecided. is that gonna hurt?

[buoyant maple]

i did too

[agile spruce]

yes

[kind pine]

i did undecided in arts/sciences

[kind pine]

welp rip

[viral needle]

put urself in admissions officer perspective

[buoyant maple]

i did undecided engineering

[viral needle]

do u want the kid who has a clear passion

[agile spruce]

^

[viral needle]

and can talk abt it in essay

or

[buoyant maple]

passion doesn't necessarily have to link to a clear cut idea of a major

i.e you can passionate about the environment but unsure whether you want to take the route of environmental sciences or environmental engineering etc

there's a lot of avenues you can take w one passion

don't get me wrong it's probably better you have that idea of which avenue you want to tale

take*

[agile spruce]

you could apply to one college then switch to another

if you apply undecided COE it might be better to just apply env eng

[viral needle]

sure but people who do probs trend towards decided rather than undecided

[agile spruce]

if you can talk about it in depth

since you can switch easy

[kind pine]

it seems like a lot of people do undecided. we gon find out tomorrow

[obtuse mulch]

Yo I used to live in OK for 6 yrs

Regularly visited OU

[unique shard]

0 private rizz rn

[olive mirage]

fr? where in ok?

[placid sun]

yes

suspected

oh

I see

idk

there is no released time though

[smoky ether]

we shall c when they come out

[ocean mesa]

Is the rd rate realy low

[frail basalt]

Probs 4:30 est based on ed time

[ocean mesa]

Really

[agile spruce]

kind of

[frail basalt]

It was 6.8% for c/o 2025, 7% for 2026, and this year is somewhat more competitive for some reason so I predict around 6.5%

[trail void]

7.3%

[ocean mesa]

tough

[smoky ether]

tbh

[placid sun]

it does

[trail void]

if u donate it helps more

[agile spruce]

probably only for DI purposes

[smoky ether]

I didn’t look at northwesterns acceptance rate

I togugjt it was like

20

🥸

[agile spruce]

🙁

[ocean mesa]

There’s no metric for how much rite

[agile spruce]

it’s ~20 for ED

[smoky ether]

How many supps were there for NW

[agile spruce]

[agile spruce]

[long sail]

Does interview actually matter

[placid sun]

if they hold that against me im gonna lose my fucking shit

[trail void]

yeah

[smoky ether]

they gave it to me but I completely forgot

[agile spruce]

signing up does

[placid sun]

although ill never actually know

[trail void]

not doing the interview is demonstrated disinterest

[placid sun]

if they held it against me

Ok but

what about me

[long sail]

Ion think I got an email tbh

[placid sun]

I never got the email

like

[long sail]

[smoky ether]

I didn’t realize there was sign ups

[agile spruce]

[long sail]

[trail void]

u know a college isnt top when u have to sign up for an interview

[agile spruce]

they didn’t hold it against you if you didn’t get one

[fierce bluff]

wtf lol

[long sail]

My northwestern interviewer loved talking abt herself lmao

[obtuse mulch]

Well I emailed them about it and they replied with "Unfortunately, do the extremely high demand for interviews, we are unable to add additional interview slots to accommodate more students. However... your interest in scheduling one has been noted"

[trail void]

lmao

DI schools are stupid

[fierce bluff]

i didn't even get NU interview

[fierce bluff]

i got this too

[long sail]

Oh did u get washu

[agile spruce]

[fierce bluff]

yeah i did 🙏

[agile spruce]

it’s good tho

[long sail]

Congrats

[fierce bluff]

ty i want NU tho haha

[agile spruce]

they note that you were interested

[long sail]

The only two I rly want are Stanford and Penn

[fierce bluff]

i guess but that's a worse note than a good interview prob

[ocean mesa]

Imaging getting in to schools

[long sail]

But like I have no chance

[agile spruce]

the way to go about it is to sign up, not get one, then submit update letter

[ocean mesa]

💀

[placid sun]

how about stanford...?

[long sail]

I applied to so many schools I didn’t want to go to

[trail void]

no

[fierce bluff]

i REALLY want harvard yale princeton columbia duke

[placid sun]

Stanford asks on commonapp

[trail void]

stanfird they just email

[placid sun]

if you want interviwe

[fierce bluff]

this is p close tho

[placid sun]

what are you actually saying bruh

[trail void]

Im pretty sure that question on common app is to weed out loseres

[placid sun]

that doesnt change the fact that you have to sign up

[trail void]

if u dont want to interview ur a loser

its not signing up

[long sail]

My Stanford interview was 90 minutes long 💀

[ocean mesa]

My interview was short for nu

[smoky ether]

Didn’t get a Stanford interview

[long sail]

It’s prob by area

[placid sun]

ok..

[smoky ether]

bruh it’s so dumb how they made you sign up

[long sail]

Cuz I love like 30m away

Live

[open yoke]

its because there was a priority deadline too

[olive mirage]

my mit interview was 2 hours

and it was in person

[open yoke]

lowkey didnt know you had to go on the portal

[olive mirage]

he drove 3 hours to visit me

[agile spruce]

NU sent me an email saying they understand if i can’t do ACT/SAT or it doesn’t represent my full abilities bc of my area

[long sail]

Dang

[olive mirage]

i still got rejected

[long sail]

😔

[agile spruce]

so i think NU will be nice

[long sail]

My interviewer said he’d write that Stanford was my top choice and I’d go there for sure 😭

[ocean mesa]

What are like the hardest majors at NU

[open yoke]

even if he wrote a stellar one i bet if you asked him he would say "in all my years.... giving xyz rating to xyz kids... none of them have been accepted"

that's just how it is

[agile spruce]

stem smth

[placid sun]

ngl

i doubt it helps that much

at stanny

they have insane yield

[ocean mesa]

Is econ easier

[trail void]

yeah that doesnt matter

fit is much more important

[long sail]

yea ik

i mean

i live right here 😭

its not like me applying to notre dame in indiana

[smoky ether]

[long sail]

northwestern is rly nice tho

[smoky ether]

[distant arch]

Thx bro, what are u gonna study?

[long sail]

[kind pine]

[smoky ether]

[ocean mesa]

Usc rd is really bad too

[smoky ether]

So I think that hurt me a lil

[trail void]

usc rd is easier than ea

[ocean mesa]

Fr?

[trail void]

yes

[ocean mesa]

oh

But it’s still prolly bad

[olive mirage]

usc and northwestern

[ocean mesa]

And gtech is bad too

[trail void]

is usc as selective as stanford

[olive mirage]

not expecting anything honestly

prob not getting into either

[long sail]

idk why ppl wanna go to usc so badly

its like living with the homeless

[frail basalt]

I would love to go if they weren't as expensive

[long sail]

and paying so much

[ocean mesa]

If I get 3 rejects Tmr I’m leaving the server 🫡

[long sail]

[ocean mesa]

but idk if that means everythin

[frail basalt]

Calc AB 12th lol

[ocean mesa]

*anhthin

[long sail]

i think my essays were the best for georgetown

and i rly wanan go to dc and i think that kinda showed

[hollow totem]

Hey, there’s no shame in that! I’m honestly looking at the same thing. Mines one of the best in my majors, is a great campus and also gave great scholarships. Might not be your worst option

[long sail]

but i do have relatively good test scores and they care abt them more

[ocean mesa]

oh

[long sail]

yea i got wl sd irvine and la lmao

[ocean mesa]

Hm

[hollow totem]

I applied Test optional ://

[long sail]

i did get sb davis and sc tho

[ocean mesa]

I j want in Georgetown

[agile spruce]

just go to top grad school if you’re concerned about prestige

[ocean mesa]

I’ll be happy

[agile spruce]

same

also

they’re lenient

so you’re fine

[long sail]

idk i rly wanna go to dc

[ocean mesa]

Dc sounds fun

[long sail]

but itd be rly convenient to go smw closer 😭

my counselor was like

[frail basalt]

If your happiness is conditional you'll never be truly happy

[long sail]

nobody here has applied to georgetown in years

[ocean mesa]

Idk if my stats r enough for gt tho

[wheat gyro]

northwestern pls let me in ;-;

[ocean mesa]

We shall c

[ocean mesa]

Ru near the bay aeea

Or somewhere else

[long sail]

yea

[agile spruce]

gtech is harsh

[ocean mesa]

yea same 💀

[long sail]

what city

[agile spruce]

i applied with multivar + a ton of research and got flat rejected

[long sail]

dang

[ocean mesa]

I don’t wanna say in server I’ll dm

[long sail]

okok

[agile spruce]

was my act probably

[long sail]

what score

[agile spruce]

32

[ocean mesa]

I want gt or Georgetown

[agile spruce]

but i had a 4.0 uw 4.7 w IBDP + 4 AP + 14 DE

so i don’t think act makes a difference

[lofty fern]

act shows if ur school is easy or not in a way

[agile spruce]

IB is pretty standardized

[lofty fern]

cuz if u have a bad sat/act and u have a v high gpa n stuff, it could be weird

idk abt ib, my school doesnt have ib

[frail basalt]

My act is 34 and I have 3.8/4.4 in 13 AP/IB's

[long sail]

i wish i had good grades

[agile spruce]

also rural area really hard to find testing site open

[smoky ether]

ye but another thing is like students don’t have a choice in making their school harder

[lofty fern]

yeah im j saying in general

[smoky ether]

which is why they look at it holistically in a sense of like

[agile spruce]

fair

i mean silly thing is

[smoky ether]

If they worked hard enough to get good grades and shit then it’s probably not their fault but the schools fault

[agile spruce]

i put national merit stuff on my app

[hollow totem]

Exactly and in comparison I had a 4.0 yw 4.4 w but a 30 ACT

[smoky ether]

so they’ll Stil accept students

[frail basalt]

So you have an easy school

[hollow totem]

So ig my grades are just inflated

Well yeah ig but I’m in 12 AP

[agile spruce]

depends on course rigor

oh nvm

i mean imo

[frail basalt]

I took 13 ap/ibs and I feel like thats moderately rigorus

[agile spruce]

IB > DE (credible in person) > AP > DE (online high school based)

[hollow totem]

I got perfect scores in English and Reading I just suck at math lol

[lofty fern]

wait also @agile spruce why northwestern? if ur doing astro, is nw that good for stem/that specifically?

[agile spruce]

are you full diploma

[frail basalt]

I got 35R 34M 33E 32S

[agile spruce]

yes i love CIERA

[frail basalt]

naw

[smoky ether]

Astrophysics or Astronomy

[agile spruce]

i’m astrophysics

i applied astronomy + physics

[smoky ether]

dope dope

[lofty fern]

is nw strong for that?

[agile spruce]

yes they have an institute dedicated to it

[smoky ether]

I fw it but the career outlook isn’t hot enough for me

[lofty fern]

ohh thats nice

for cs its def not worth it imo

[agile spruce]

also i’m interested in humanities

[lofty fern]

(aka me)

[agile spruce]

i’m big in public policy

[smoky ether]

Figured I’d just astrophotography in the future

[agile spruce]

and like philosophy/art

[agile spruce]

idrc about job outlook as long as i’m comfortable

[smoky ether]

Fair enough

[agile spruce]

worst case scenario i’m forced into data sci

still pulls $100k+

[long sail]

maybe i shouldve applied american studies 😄

[agile spruce]

also idk if it helps

i applied for ISP too

[grand crater]

I’m so scared for tomorrow after the washu waitlist😭praying for everyone

[agile spruce]

my isp app was fire

[long sail]

whats isp

[agile spruce]

integrated science program

for northwestern

it’s like stem honors

[hollow totem]

Wait no we have the same grade lol I just took classes I’m better at because I’m an English major and suck at math so my ACT is low.

[frail basalt]

I'm scared after the washu rejection lol

I'm a Neuroscience major and I suck at physics

[placid sun]

im scared cus they didnt send me the interview email thing

[long sail]
