[glad smelt]

Yes even the best applicants were waitlisted

[fierce bluff]

@glad smelt did u get in

[hearty breach]

For some reason they didn’t publish how many people were waitlisted last year

[plain sage]

How many ppl does Northwestern waitlist every year

[hearty breach]

Only how many people were accepted

69 got accepted off the waitlist which isn’t bad

But it could be 0 this year

[stone flume]

how happy should i be about northwestern acceptance? is it more like target or safety ish

[fierce bluff]

reach

[plain sage]

co 2025 had like 1.5k on the waitlist, co 2024 had 1.8k

i thougth t20

[opaque lotus]

bro

[hearty breach]

I think barely it’s t10

[stone flume]

ya but less people got into northeaster than northwestern

[fierce bluff]

okok

[opaque lotus]

northwestern is so many ppl's dream schools 😭

that's so good you got in!!

no one in my school history has ever gotten in

0 nada

[snow linden]

NORTHWESTERN W!!!

[opaque lotus]

none

[ocean mesa]

Other people’s legacy rejections said sm about family ties but mine didn’t

[hearty breach]

Congrats

[stone flume]

would i pick ucsc/ucd over northwestern ? and is ucla better or nah

[opaque lotus]

CONGRATULATIONSSS WOOOO

[ocean mesa]

Idk if they even considered me legacy 💀

[hearty breach]

Idk if sibling legacy counts at NU

[ocean mesa]

It was grad school

Parent

[hearty breach]

But if it does I’m technically legacy

[ocean mesa]

U got in?

[hearty breach]

UChicago considered my legacy since my dad got an MBA there

[hearty breach]

Waitlisted

[stone flume]

northwestern admits at my school weren’t that good

[errant hawk]

Im pretty sure that northeastern is better than northwestern?

[stone flume]

even i didn’t have 4.0 or any good award or anything

[craggy yacht]

No???

[opaque lotus]

no bro northwestern is so good

[stone flume]

idk maybe because less ppl at my school got northeastern

[plain sage]

I think he’s trolling

[ocean mesa]

O

[stone flume]

…????

[errant hawk]

No

[stone flume]

I’m so confused

[errant hawk]

Compare acceptance rates

[rich gate]

Northwestern is really fucking good. They're top notch.

[hearty breach]

Northwestern is generally ranked higher but it depends on the major/program

[opaque lotus]

bestie may

i just

present to you

[stone flume]

so northwestern = good? then how’d i get in 💀

[errant hawk]

Plus northeastern is on the east coast while northwestern is west and we all know east is better than the west

[stone flume]

that’s like every school these days

[lapis wigeon]

did you guys get email about decisions

[hearty breach]

I did

[craggy yacht]

Nah I just checked portal

[stone flume]

ok well…that’s not my reasoning

[hearty breach]

What time did it come out?

[stone flume]

what state is northwestern in again

[fierce bluff]

Thats cuz NEU has 0 supps so everyone applies

[opaque lotus]

illinois

[hearty breach]

Did it come out at 4:30?

[fierce bluff]

And then northeastern yield protects too

[errant hawk]

Chicago

[opaque lotus]

like around 3:10-3:15 cst

came out earlier than i thought

[stone flume]

northwestern yield protects too right

[fierce bluff]

Literally the majority of t20 admits I know got rejected/wl nrotheastern

💀💀💀💀

[stone flume]

bc it’s not a super super good school

[hearty breach]

Damn I was late

[stone flume]

like uchicago and stuff

[ocean mesa]

He’s trollin

[fierce bluff]

No

Bro northwestern is t10

[opaque lotus]

especially with that profile pic 💀

[stone flume]

so…

[errant hawk]

What is a t10?

[opaque lotus]

def is

[placid sun]

real

[hearty breach]

I checked when they sent me an email at 4:50 EST

[placid sun]

so real

[stone flume]

top 10 university but it’s not like stanford or mit level

[placid sun]

top 10

[errant hawk]

I thought northwestern was tier 1

[stone flume]

it’s good but not SUPER good

[placid sun]

its not tier

its top

[opaque lotus]

boi u trolling

[errant hawk]

Oh

[opaque lotus]

i can just tell by your pfp

[hearty breach]

Aren’t tiers based on research output?

[stone flume]

…

[fierce bluff]

Nu is t3 music ngl

[stone flume]

What’s wrong with my pfp ;(

[hearty breach]

Which isn’t the best way to determine an undergrad education quality

[errant hawk]

I have to admit northeasterns campus is hella nice

[fierce bluff]

Yeah we talking top 10

[frozen sand]

PLS

[cloud thorn]

I need copium guys. Convince me that GT CS is better than NU CS+econ 😭

[opaque lotus]

the way you type too gives off troller vibes 😭

you're not the first person i've come across

[stone flume]

but…

[placid sun]

I mean hes trolling yeah

[hearty breach]

You mean northwestern right?

[plain sage]

Giving trolls attention makes them troll more

[frozen sand]

Idk gt has better weather

[stone flume]

these are genuine questions 😭

[errant hawk]

Like they even have their own beach

[frozen sand]

I might go there

[hearty breach]

Northwestern is beautiful I loved it

[opaque lotus]

it's by the lake

[errant hawk]

Same difference

[opaque lotus]

it's so pretty

[fierce bluff]

Gt CS is prob better than nu cs nfl

Ngl

Econ tho

[hearty breach]

Northeastern has no campus

[rich gate]

No, it's top tier. The best of the best

[stone flume]

it’s not better than stanford or mit or harvard like that. i know that for a fact bro

[hearty breach]

GT CS vs NU CS would be a tough decision for me

[cloud thorn]

Yea

[fierce bluff]

You know all ur questions are easily solved by Google.com

[rich gate]

Some of the students there are the kind that leave your jaw in the floor

[stone flume]

otherwise i would’ve heard

[frozen sand]

I’m kind of glad i didnt get in bc i dont like the quarter system

[hearty breach]

GT is better but I think I actually like NU more

[errant hawk]

Yes it does my uncle swam on their beaches

[cloud thorn]

You were supposed to help 😭

[opaque lotus]

northeastern looks like an office building tbh

[hearty breach]

I said northwestern

[glad cloak]

what the hell is happening in this chat

[fierce bluff]

Their music school/journalism/humanities are top 5

Better than mit

[stone flume]

i didn’t even apply humanities

[rich gate]

I didn't say it's better than those, but you just picked the three best universities in the country. This one is like #9, but that doesn't mean it isn't EXCELLENT and virtually just as good

[rich gate]

This is true

[fierce bluff]

Doesn't mean it doesn't exist

[errant hawk]

Are you a cs kid?

[stone flume]

Is it just not good for like bio and stuf then

[fierce bluff]

Stop trolling lmao

[hearty breach]

It’s a personal preference thing GT is great and I didn’t realize the context so I apologize

[stone flume]

i applied biology

[placid sun]

he trollin'

[stone flume]

i think?

i forgot my major tbh

[errant hawk]

I see

What type of biology

[stone flume]

i changed it depending on schools

ur moms biology

[errant hawk]

That’s not very nice

[stone flume]

Why did i get warned???

[errant hawk]

You are making me cry

[stone flume]

i didn’t even do anything wtf

[errant hawk]

: (

[ocean mesa]

Anyone else rejected w legacy

[errant hawk]

Are you serious or joking

[stone flume]

i got in without legacy

but idk if that helps

[errant hawk]

Cause gynecology could be a good major

[stone flume]

legacy is kinda overrated

[haughty stirrup]

I think that might be the opposite of help 💀

[placid sun]

It is

I say this as someone who has 0 legacy advantage at all

[violet moat]

Anyone have the portal link

[stone flume]

yes i was joking…

[fierce bluff]

Yea

[stone flume]

nvm i just checked i applied neuroscience

[fierce bluff]

I got gtech but not nu

[stone flume]

maybe that’s why it was rly easy to get into

[errant hawk]

I had legacy status cause my uncle lives near northwestern but I still got rejected : (

[placid sun]

I dont think thats how legacy works brother

[errant hawk]

No

Like he used to work there

[stone flume]

…how tragic

[errant hawk]

But he got fired

[wicked adder]

rejected lolz

[errant hawk]

So now he lives there

Near*

[haughty stirrup]

This might be why the legacy failed you

[fierce bluff]

[errant hawk]

: (

[haughty stirrup]

The trolling is actually so high quality on this thread though. Spec the Berkeley thread for comparison

[civic flare]

Can't mute yourself.

[open quest]

What trolling?

[fierce bluff]

damn

[stone flume]

remember to praise the lord and repent for your sins everyone. ucla and northwestern are both good schools. turn to the bible whenever u can.

[cloud grail]

It’s two trolls and they’re really mod

[haughty stirrup]

Sad

[fierce bluff]

omw

[cloud grail]

*mid

[errant hawk]

Aren’t you Sikh?

[haughty stirrup]

You’re so real

[open quest]

Ucla and USC mid dont go to either

[fierce bluff]

id choose usc over harvard for ir

[placid sun]

💀

[fierce bluff]

ngl

i have been told those cybersec/ human geo programs are elite for career outcomes

[open quest]

I’m not in fantasy football I’m not on the ir

[warm drift]

tom

did u get waitlisted or rejected

[cloud grail]

Honestly I don’t think UCLA oos is worth it, esp since the major isn’t even International Relations but Global Studies. It’s either USC or WashU. Also waitlisted lol.

[warm drift]

rip

[fierce bluff]

yeah ucla isnt the best for ir

[warm drift]

USC is aW WashU is in St. louis 💀💀

[fierce bluff]

ucsd prob has a better ir program than ucla

[cloud grail]

I’m probably gonna take your rec esp Bc of that new campus they have in DC

[stone flume]

honestly speaking tho UCs are prob the best option for In states who care more about the financial aspect

[fierce bluff]

yeah the dc thing is huge, like jhu grad school for ir sais is basically elite cuz of dc location

[fierce bluff]

depends on finaid

[cloud grail]

True but I’m OOS

[fierce bluff]

ivies would have given me way more aid than even uc in state cost

[cloud grail]

That’s fax

[stone flume]

fin aid for ppl in California (like Middle Class in CA) doesn’t really do much

[cloud grail]

Asking prematurely since I’m not quite off NU’s waitlist (manifesting tho), what would you say is better for IR, USC or NU?

[fierce bluff]

harder, but USC has the edge still

what schools are you still waiting on?

[cloud grail]

Cornell, Dartmouth, and then HY which Ik I’m not getting into lol

[fierce bluff]

ngl id only consider hy over usc personally

L

[thorny fulcrum]

I got waitlisted. Should I seng loci and when should I… I’m not familiar with US application since I’m an international student can you guys give me some suggestions??

[frozen sand]

Go to washu with me bestie😍

[fierce bluff]

send loci, asap

[thorny fulcrum]

Shl

Should I send Asap or by mid - april?

[frozen sand]

Mid april

[thorny fulcrum]

Ok thanks alot

[fierce bluff]

by mid april, the sooner the better

[thorny fulcrum]

Should I send before Ivyday?

Is that better?

[fierce bluff]

tbh yeah prob

make it clear youd really commit to nu

even if you wouldnt

💀

[thorny fulcrum]

Do u think it’s better to upload Loci in the portal or send an email to them

?

[uneven shale]

probably portal

if there’s a specific spot for it

[gleaming dagger]

how do u read the financial aid offer…

[fierce bluff]

If you dont mind, you can send it in dms and I can help

[uneven shale]

subtract ur aid offer from 85k. the amount u pay isn’t on there

[humble meteor]

rejected 💪

[fierce bluff]

$12k/year

that's the most generous i've had yet

[mossy mantle]

Financial aid is pretty much all FAFSA right

[fierce bluff]

yeah and css iirc

[mossy mantle]

Will they give more money than that

[fierce bluff]

my efc was 15k

[mossy mantle]

Gotcha

[fierce bluff]

paying or scholarships

12k/yr for nu is a W

huge W

paying

i'm thinking about what other schools can even top that that i'm aiming for

[smoky ether]

congrats bro

[fierce bluff]

i only know princeton because they practically have money coming out their faucets but that's it

[smoky ether]

12k/yr is solid

esp for a good school like NU

[fierce bluff]

tysmm

[dry vapor]

NU L

[frozen sand]

YALL DID THEY ACTUALLY NOT SEND AN EMAIL IF U GOT REJECTED

LMFAOOO

[fierce bluff]

i got no email

[frozen sand]

Did u tet in

[fierce bluff]

yes

[frozen sand]

oh nvm 💀💀

maybe theyre just slow

[fierce bluff]

if anything

i noticed these emails lag behind a lot

[distant arch]

My twin brother and I got accepted!!!!!!! (we are internationals from Colombia)

[fierce bluff]

that's like, a massive W

[placid sun]

bruh>

double international admit 🐐

[bold wing]

RD acceptance rate was 2%

[placid sun]

For NU? that sounds like cap ngl

[bold wing]

😵‍💫

[placid sun]

can I see source if so thats crazy asf

[fierce bluff]

tf

[bold wing]

2100 spots, 52k apps, half of the class is accepted ED

[fierce bluff]

that's not factoring yield

[placid sun]

^

[bold wing]

those numbers except for ED is on rejection letter

[bold wing]

what does this mean

[fierce bluff]

basically, they only expect a certain portion of acceptances to attend

it's probably somewhere closer to 2k admits

[bold wing]

so you’re saying they accept more than 2100?

[placid sun]

Yes

But only 2100 spots are filled

[bold wing]

i can’t imagine it’s >3,000 acceptances

[placid sun]

with a 63 yield

[fierce bluff]

i'm guessing RD rate is someehwre between 5-7%

[placid sun]

they had ~3300 acceptances

[bold wing]

i see

[placid sun]

so

[dry vapor]

nu 😢

[solemn wolf]

just got rejected

ugh i wish iput the same effort that i did for the ivies into these t20 colleges

[woven jungle]

why northwestern why

i literally love you

why would you do me so dirty

all you had to do was move me from waitlist to accept

[warm drift]

ong

[placid sun]

I managed to get both wrong

[warm drift]

ur too good for northwestern and definitely too good for USC

[placid sun]

💀

Ty. We'll see if that's true when Stanford is out LMAO

[lyric eagle]

y'all thought demonstrated interest mattered

Was looking through my emails to find the portal and saw that I passed on an interview lmao

[formal marlin]

bro ur jus like that

[lyric eagle]

Boutta use this fin aid to squeeze more out of Stanford

[fierce bluff]

Lol I did the interview and like 2 zoom seminars

[simple forge]

you intl?

[lyric eagle]

I got so many emails for seminars, didn't attend one 💀

[placid sun]

No

[simple forge]

ook

[placid sun]

although

[lyric eagle]

USC really said no tho

[placid sun]

I lived in malta for most of my teen years im culturally like 60% maltese but I am domestic app wise

[placid sun]

we got yield protected bro ong

[lyric eagle]

Frfr Ong

I wouldn't be able to afford them anyways 💀

[cloud goblet]

I’m in!!!

[raven cargo]

I GOT INTO GEORGIA TECH CS AS AN INTL ASIAN MALE

ik this is northwestern but i was lurking here and just wanted to update yall

im the shits and giggles nw applicant

[dusty ocean]

RD rate is 2%

[ocean silo]

WOAH CONGRATS

[placid sun]

nah

its like 4 at NU

or something

[oblique bough]

I got yield protected from Northwestern fr fr

[dusty ocean]

no, ED acceptance rate is higher but NU RD acceptance rate is only 2%

[placid sun]

Source?

[dusty ocean]

CDS

[placid sun]

where on cds?

[west shoal]

So thats why like barely anyone said they fit accepted

Got

[raven cargo]

how hard is it to get waitlisted at NW?

[dusty ocean]

they take 1100 students from 4500 applicants in ED, and only 2200 from like 48000 in RD

[placid sun]

No

they accept more cus of yield

2200 students taken from 48k RD doesnt mean 2200 accepted

[raven cargo]

@placid sun any idea about this?

[dusty ocean]

they accept 2200 and take only 1000

[placid sun]

oh? still thats 4.5%

[dusty ocean]

please check CDS

[placid sun]

Alright I believe you but still that's 4.5% not 2%

[fierce bluff]

4.5 crazy

[placid sun]

its crazy how many get in from A2C bruh

like way more than 4.5% of us got in

[fierce bluff]

basically lower than every ivy but like harvard/princeton but it don't feel like it

[placid sun]

A2C is legit ridiculous

[fierce bluff]

because A2C is cracked asf

there's at least 10 here iirc

same stuff happening with usc too

isn't their overall sub 10% now

[placid sun]

Bro

The vaccine shot that I got earlier today is beginning to fuck me up

[fierce bluff]

have fun 💀

you aren't into it enough until your arm starts getting ultra sore

[placid sun]

Its alreayd pretty sore I was gonna hop on osu idk about now though

[warm star]

Yea

[obtuse mulch]

Last yr they accepted 3.3k from 48k applications. 1.1k from ED out of 4.5k were accepted. Thus the RD AR was (2.2k/43.5k) = 5.1%

[fierce bluff]

yeah it's crazy how A2C makes it seem so much higher
well, ig we are mostly the top performing hs students

also, congratulations !

[warm star]

I got in ea but thanks 🙂

[fierce bluff]

that's still amazing! Np

[mossy mantle]

do you guys know if greek life is still a big deal there

ik it used to be huge but pandemic kind of diminished that

[hearty breach]

A2C mfers will get into MIT but don’t know what yield is

[hearty breach]

That’s a pretty high yield

[placid sun]

well yeah its t10

[bold wing]

okay but i didn’t get into MIT

[dusky cipher]

greek life used to be much bigger but newer students have been more opposed to it bc of how problematic it is, so i believe its still present but much less than before

[mossy mantle]

based

[iron leaf]

Someone have the northwestern 2027 discord link?

[craggy yacht]

oh yea someone send if they have it

[desert river]

^^^

[craggy yacht]

this is A discord, idk if its official

[fierce bluff]

Lorthwestern honestly

[strange ice]

Lesgoooooo I got in

[dusky cipher]

if anyone needs the nu 2027 server feel free to dm!

and congrats to all the admits, cant wait to see yall in the fall 😎

[white lagoon]

cringe school doesn't even let me in

i mean like what kind of school denies me smh

[heavy trout]

nu so indecisive and mid they couldnt even choose a single direction for their school so they put both north and west in their name

[rich gate]

I got it

[rich gate]

Wdym by that?

[craggy yacht]

idk if its like official, theres sometimes multiple servers

but this one has the most ppl

[rich gate]

This is the main one, and it is the one on the NU student hub

[craggy yacht]

oh ok

[rich gate]

We have an AO in there too, I believe

About to hit 200 members soon too

[fierce bluff]

welp gg

[lyric eagle]

can u send

[rich gate]

I already did

About 5.5 hours ago

[lyric eagle]

send it again lol

[rich gate]

ok

[lapis wigeon]

sigh, just opened mine

rejeckt

[smoky ether]

its ok'

that makes two of us

[lapis wigeon]

lfg

[smoky ether]

DONT TRIP

move to the next

[frozen sand]

three of us

[lapis wigeon]

We move on

[frozen sand]

my only rejection bruh it ruined me

[smoky ether]

bro

no

[obtuse nest]

nah northwestern doesnt even exist 😅

[lapis wigeon]

every few days i unfollow yet another college thread

[hasty jetty]

Did anyone in here get in today for medill?

[placid sun]

I know bruh its kinda satisfying

[celest scroll]

Me too 😭

Probably the wrong emoji… Northwestern is better anyway

But the USC rejection still sucked

[placid sun]

Bruh

I felt nothing from the USC reject

[celest scroll]

I felt nothing at first but now I’m kinda mad

Not that I would go there over northwestern anyway but yk

[warm star]

Yea I mean u have northwestern ur chilling

But yea I get what u mean rejection always sucks even if u have good options already

[celest scroll]

But I’m a business kid at heart and while northwestern econ is great, it’s not business

Wharton is gonna clutch up though 🤞

Chicago internships are crazy though

And it’s easy to take whatever classes, change majors, minor, double, etc at Northwestern

So I’ll get my business fix regardless

[placid sun]

yeah im uh

heavily of the mindset that your acceptances are only as good

as the school that you got into that you like most

all of my rejects I liked less than nwestern except MIT so I havent cared at all

[celest scroll]

USC was nice because better weather, business school, and it would have been cheaper. I’d probably still go to NU tho

Still have lots of schools to come too

CMU tomorrow, Rice Monday, Vandy ???, Ivy Day, and Duke + Stanford

DGAF about vandy and CMU at this point, and Rice is good only if they give me a scholarship

[lyric eagle]

USC is cheaper for u???

[celest scroll]

NMF scholarship

Comes down to just below 60k which is still stupid, but it’s the best price for a t30 if not in-state in Cali, Michigan, or NC (which I’m not)

[lyric eagle]

Ahhh

[celest scroll]

Tbh idk what I’d pick between UNC and USC (had I gotten in)

Both have good business schools, but UNC just seems a lot more chill and it’s a beautiful area with pretty good weather

[rough lodge]

lol i wish kellogg had an undergrad major

[celest scroll]

That would be so nice. The certificates are cool though

[rough lodge]

it's so competitive lol

100 students per year

[celest scroll]

I think like 50% of students get into them or something

Which isn’t great

But also if you work with your advisor to plan for them, it’s doable

Fr kellogg could easily make the #2 UGrad business school. As could Booth

[verbal remnant]

Does waitlist mean anything

How many people get off it

[rich gate]

Check the #medill channel in NU '27. I believe we've got a few

[uneven shale]

yo can i get an invite to the discord?

[dusky cipher]

sure but i cant dm u

[uneven shale]

oh mb

[woven jungle]

i tihnk 70 got off last year

do we know how many are actually waitlisted?

also for some reason everyone that i know that got into northwestern from my area is asian, pre-med/neurosci/bme, and is in all state orch 😭 literally everyone from my school that has gotten in over the past three years are in the same demographic 💀

[verbal remnant]

Damn

[woven jungle]

it's almost like they have a type...

[drowsy plank]

nwu vs neu?

[fierce bluff]

Northwestern easily

[celest elbow]

here

[velvet lily]

i wish i got northwestern bruh

i lowk dont wanna go to northeastern lol

[fierce bluff]

did anyone else get an email from their regional admissions team?

[glass talon]

Yup

[uneven shale]

first day of classes last year was september 20th 😭

[simple forge]

It's good actually

You will get enough time to enjoy the whole summer break for the last time

As a high school student

[uneven shale]

yeah fs

[surreal sand]

Same

[dusty ocean]

how's Northwestern CS vs GT CS

[uneven shale]

does northwestern give tshirts?

[dusky cipher]

im pretty sure they do at wildcat welcome

they drop merch like crazy

makes up for the shitty acceptance package lmao

[fierce bluff]

what's the package like

[dusky cipher]

its just an acceptance letter and a (mid) poster

the same letter u saw in ur portal

it also took like over a month to arrive 😬

[fierce bluff]

boooooooooooo if it doesn't include a letter from the ao talking about my app then that's wack

[celest scroll]

Not even stickers? 😓

[lyric eagle]

Bruh no stickers?

[sonic cobalt]

how good is waitlist

[celest scroll]

Better than rejection. They take like 30-50 out of 2000 on the waitlist

Odds are not in your favor but it’s worth a shot

If yield doesn’t match their predictions, it could be 0 admits off waitlist. Or in the other direction, it could be 100+. So it’s hard to say for sure rn

[sonic cobalt]

ah i see, alr thx

northwestern please take me i love you

[rustic mulch]

Well I mean you have to re-confirm your interest so I think the number is less than 2000

By May a ton of people will have committed to a school

[uneven shale]

damn so this is after u commit

[tall tree]

What schools actually do that?

[fierce bluff]

ik uchicago does

2 of my friends got personal letters

[placid sun]

they emailed me saying id get a personal note

[ruby sedge]

i second this question

[lyric eagle]

Stanford does, pretty sure many of the top schools do

[tall tree]

“As your regional admission team, we wanted to send a personal note to let you know how much we enjoyed reading your application. We are thrilled to count you among Northwestern’s newest Wildcats. Our applicant pool was the strongest we’ve ever seen, and you emerged as a true standout. We know you’ll thrive on campus and make meaningful contributions to our vibrant community.”

These AOs must’ve gotten degrees in the studies of affirmation

[dapper oracle]

Is that even personalized though?

[tall tree]

It’s not lol

Maybe regionalized

[lyric eagle]

It's the same for everyone lol

That ain't a personal message 😭

[edgy field]

What are your stats for Nw

[mossy mantle]

Is this the three day thing

[mossy mantle]

Can u send me this please

[random mica]

could i be added 😭

[dusky cipher]

sure but i cant dm

[random mica]

how about now?

[dusky cipher]

still cant :(

[random mica]

okay i think i fixed it 😭 sorry

[dusky cipher]

no worries, sent it

[tall tree]

Send to me too plz

[hasty jetty]

Welcome to all rd peoples!!

[lyric eagle]

😎

[hasty jetty]

Mine were not the best lol

[placid sun]

are you asking all admits

[lyric eagle]

Did u get stickers in the package @hasty jetty

[hasty jetty]

No 😞

My school sent me stickers and a cap tho

[lyric eagle]

cmon

[hasty jetty]

Medill slays

[lyric eagle]

Is that the building u got into?

[hasty jetty]

It’s the school, medill

Medill school of journalism

[lyric eagle]

Lemme check what mine was, I think it's science

Judd A. and Marjorie Weinberg College of Arts and Sciences.

[hasty jetty]

Weinberg is where most people are

[lyric eagle]

I hate how most schools have cs with arts/science and not engineering

[hasty jetty]

It’s almost like taking classes outside of your major is important

[lyric eagle]

That's what cred requirements are for

[hasty jetty]

Ig

Each school has different distros I believe tho

[placid sun]

Wherever I go

I plan to take the minimum courses possibly required

I do not enjoy doing work

💀

[lyric eagle]

Gonna get to your senior year where u end up taking way too many credits to have a life 💀

[hasty jetty]

Ima tryn take easy distros cause I’ll have two minors + working for the daily + my job

[lyric eagle]

What are ur minors

[hasty jetty]

Spanish minor who sucks at Spanish 💅

[lyric eagle]

Oo

[hasty jetty]

Spanish and legal studies tho second one might change

Spanish is a given basically, I’ve had to do so many interviews in Spanish and when I’m out of college it’ll be even more necessary in the journalism field

[lyric eagle]

Ya it's pretty common nowadays

[dusky cipher]

northwestern has cs in both weinberg and mccormick lol

[hasty jetty]

It’s giving are you bionic or a full on robot

Jk, cs majors just scare me lol

[dusky cipher]

fr, comp eng >> 🙏

[lyric eagle]

What's the diff

[obtuse mulch]

You get BA from weinberg and BS from mccormick

[hasty jetty]

That’s…that’s not better

[dusky cipher]

😦

[dusky cipher]

honestly im not entirely sure, id just imagine cs in mccormick is more applied into engineering

[lyric eagle]

💀 damn did they jus choose for me then

[dusky cipher]

theres definitely overlap but id imagine theres more hardware based stuff in mccormick

[dusky cipher]

no u applied under it 😭

u can transfer very easily if u wanted to tho

[lyric eagle]

lemme check my common app 😭

[lyric eagle]

u right

[dusky cipher]

p sure youd just have to fill a quick form to switch schools to do cs in mccormick

but it doesnt sound like ur gonna commit here anyway so...

😭

[lyric eagle]

its on the table, coa is less here

i didnt think id get in here ngl

[dusky cipher]

👀

[lyric eagle]

close friend of mine got in ed, him and his parents are tryna convince me lol

[dusky cipher]

definitely not a bad option, but cs at stanford also crazy

[tall tree]

What package

[dusky cipher]

honestly whatever u feel like u vibe with is prob better

bc both are great imo

[lyric eagle]

yeah thats kinda why im ok with a few thousand more there, both amazing options tho

[tall tree]

Only grinnell ut and UTD have sent acceptance mail

[lyric eagle]

acceptance

[tall tree]

To me

Got UT and UTD stuff last year even

[celest scroll]

Northwestern 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

Give me some stickers please 🙏

[celest scroll]

Do not. Unless you're a journalism or music major
