Nope, you can't get out of it

[river pendant]

Damn I wanted to go but idk if I wanna take a gap semester

[misty mountain]

You can take some other courses and transfer those credits if you want during gap semester or just relax and travel

[steep gulch]

Does bu yield protect

[low belfry]

dawg my stats were all in the 75% for the school

[lusty lion]

Idk

[misty mountain]

I took the gap semester, it sounds like a bummer at first but it's pretty good

[low belfry]

[low belfry]

[river pendant]

Honestly if they give me good aid maybe.

[lusty lion]

It says something about a transfer

[river pendant]

Ima wait for my other decisions

[trim dew]

bu gives shity aid

[burnt hawk]

[river pendant]

Damn

[trim dew]

and they have no campus either

[untold crane]

Does it say guaranteed

[low belfry]

bro is not gonna transfer out of cmu lol

[lusty lion]

LMAO

[lusty lion]

No it just says there is the option to transfer lol

[misty mountain]

Yeah, feel free to message privately if you have questions regarding CGS so it doesn't get lost here

[subtle hemlock]

gurantees tranfer is that an insult

why would you ever go bu over cmu anyways lol

[misty mountain]

No lol, it's not meant to be an insult

[lusty lion]

I would never lol

[trim dew]

should i put myself on the waitlist

i already have swarthmore

[low belfry]

bro

they accepted 3 people from wl last year

out of 5k

[subtle hemlock]

light work

[trim dew]

yikes

[low belfry]

biggest im him performance coming in

[misty mountain]

lol but he's guaranteed transfer

[keen shadow]

guys anyone knows about the trustee result?!!

[fallen drift]

i didn’t submit them either, i think that might be why

actually maybe not idk

[hushed tusk]

have they sent emails about acceptance yet?

[lusty lion]

That's my suspicion

[subtle hemlock]

yes ill be cuddling with you in ur dorm in a year just you wait

[misty mountain]

HA that's very funny

[static warren]

Was a poll done ?

[knotty hatch]

yes

@static warren

[static warren]

Yup smrithri

[subtle hemlock]

wasnt meant to be funny but ok

[static warren]

Thx

[spiral hollow]

Woke up to the rejection

[untold crane]

Wait so that general studies fhibg

[misty mountain]

That said, have you got any idea of where you want to go for 1 year?

[untold crane]

Do you have to go abroad or whatever for 6 months

[misty mountain]

6 weeks and yes, you go to London

[untold crane]

You HAVE to?

[misty mountain]

gap semester is 6 months

[untold crane]

I see

[hushed tusk]

guys have they sent any emails about acceptance or only update to portal

[misty mountain]

Well actually

You can stay in Boston

but most people go to London

[untold crane]

Oh I see I see

[subtle hemlock]

right now uf which is nice because its a very typical college expereicne from what i see

but i think boston u might be cheaper

if they r as generous as hey say thry are…

[main wigeon]

isnt bu known to yield protect

[dusky apex]

it drops in an hour right?

[main wigeon]

(not like it worked on me)

[compact shuttle]

Why did I get rejected everywhere…..

[steep gulch]

it’s out now

[compact shuttle]

Bro I can’t with this

[dusky apex]

oh

lemme check

[misty mountain]

Ah, that's neat, but yeah the BU campus is basically living in the city. I'm glad because I did not want to go to a campus secluded in the middle of nowhere

[main wigeon]

pretty sure BU does it but without transfer would kinda suck

[subtle hemlock]

yield protection i am a terrible stident

[mighty scaffold]

I got garunteed transfer admission

Thats like worse than rejection at this point rhey playing games with me

[lusty lion]

I wouldn't go but it just scares me for Thursday tbh

Like am i not as good as I think i am

[steep gulch]

Yeah no fr

[dusky apex]

rejected

lol

[main wigeon]

if anything a bu acceptance doesent matter much, only worry if you dont get into schools that dont yield prot

[misty mountain]

No, I'd say the worst is if you got waitlisted

[dusky apex]

tbh im happy wouldve eaten up a slot when i have other colleges

[lusty lion]

I mean I guess we'll see what happens on thursday!

The issue is just how do Ik if i was yield protected vs i just acc am a shit applicant

[main wigeon]

no more decisions till thursday so it is what it is

[main wigeon]

wait whats your stats again

[lusty lion]

I've got northwestern on Wednesday

[lusty lion]

4.6 gpa

[misty mountain]

because that's basically a rejection but you were so close to getting in

[lusty lion]

1510 sat

Great ecs

[main wigeon]

nah thats yield protect definitely, im only 3.9 and 1500 and I got in

[dusky apex]

your acceptances

[lusty lion]

I got into cmu

Cwru

[dusky apex]

exactly

[lusty lion]

And Colgate

Rejected from cornell

[dusky apex]

so its obv a yield protect thats how you know

[lusty lion]

And those are all the decisions I have in the us rn

[main wigeon]

intl?

bro is full pay damn

[lusty lion]

Yes

I'm international full pay lol

[main wigeon]

intl full pay kinda diff ballgame imho

cuz you end up as a diversity pick half the time when youre from a non orc country

[cold yarrow]

bruh

[lusty lion]

I'm from Canada so the issue is I'm not that diverse lol

[steep gulch]

Does 1550 4.7 and decent ecs sound like yield protection (I was waitlisted)

[cold yarrow]

bu waitlist

[dusky apex]

vassar and maybe vandy on tuesday now🫡

[lusty lion]

Yes

[lusty lion]

FUCK NO VANDERBILT?

[cold yarrow]

[lusty lion]

Seriously

[subtle hemlock]

yo slide me some bread dawg

[steep gulch]

yeah idk what’s happening

[dusky apex]

[cold yarrow]

i have more waitlsts than acceptances

[lusty lion]

I'm sick of this shit bro

Just let me into penn

[cold yarrow]

[lusty lion]

(Or stanford)

[cold yarrow]

how were ed acceptances for penn

[lusty lion]

(Or nyu tbh)

[lusty lion]

I think brutal idk

[cold yarrow]

shit

[lusty lion]

I went cornell ed which was a mistake

Also 2 rejections does not look good on me lol

[cold yarrow]

dude i genuinely am scared bc i got waitlisted from 6 schools but into USC and GT so idk if im good enough for Penn

[main wigeon]

bro is overthinking it 😭

cmu plenty good as is

[cold yarrow]

cmu for what major

[lusty lion]

Business lol

So idk

[main wigeon]

cmu business still solid though from what ik

[lusty lion]

Obv cmus good for CS but like

[misty mountain]

bruh CMU business is better than BU business, you're going to be alright

[lusty lion]

Maybe I'll just stay in Canada tbh idek

[misty mountain]

Trust

[lusty lion]

I hate it here but like

[cold yarrow]

yeah but getting in is still hard so itll be seen as prestigiuous

[lusty lion]

Might have to

[cold yarrow]

do canada applicants count as internaitonal?

[lusty lion]

Wdym

Im Canadian

[main wigeon]

like in the eyes of aos

are canadians needing no aid just oos

[lusty lion]

Ohhh

[main wigeon]

that need no aid

[lusty lion]

I honestly don't know but i know they rnt need blind for us

[subtle hemlock]

basically america🙄🙄

[lusty lion]

So like

[mighty shell]

[river pendant]

@misty mountain can you take classes at bu during the gap semester?

[lusty lion]

Lol literally

[sour smelt]

it’s been a fun ride😵‍💫

[cold yarrow]

does BU even yield protect

[sour smelt]

rejected

[lusty lion]

I tried to be different by applying to the states but here we are

[hoary imp]

NOOOOO

you deserve better

[cold yarrow]

i feel like im coping by telling myself that every colege yield protects LOL

[mighty shell]

1560 sat but got rejected by like 15 unis i wanna kms

[lusty lion]

AYY CONGRATS GIRL I SAW U GOT IN U DESERVE IT

[hoary imp]

[cold yarrow]

[lusty lion]

That's real

Hate aos rn

[cold yarrow]

yeah

[main wigeon]

at least you got watilists havent gotten a single wl atm 😭

[misty mountain]

Well, I'm not sure if you live in MA and want to take it as non-degree or something for those 6 months (this you'll need to talk with the CGS advisor), but I still highly doubt you'll be allowed to do so

[cold yarrow]

waitlist is ultimately rejection tho its impossible to get off the ones i am on

[sour smelt]

THANK YOU🫡

[misty mountain]

For me, it was more straightforward because I came here from California, so I got some credits taken care of at CC instead

[cold yarrow]

truly cooked for ivy day

[main wigeon]

ah so its those waitlists

[spark reef]

a friend also got into cmu but waitlisted bu

[lusty lion]

retweet

[hoary imp]

there’s only one letter’s difference between “you’re cooked” and “you’ve cooked” you never know

[cold yarrow]

yup jhu, tufts, WUSTL, UNC Chapel hill

[river pendant]

So could I take some classes at another college?

[lusty lion]

LOL literally

[cold yarrow]

yeah unfortunately "youve cooked" is not something i get to say alot

[misty mountain]

Yep
What's your major though?

[molten schooner]

same, does this mean im bagging two ivies

[river pendant]

Business

[molten schooner]

Lol i have 35 act and 4.0 uw gpa and got rejected, college admissions kinda random

[mighty scaffold]

Opening my singular ivy decision to “i need a hero”

[cold yarrow]

ok since we r all getting rejected and waitlist who tf is getting in bc i dont knoe that many

[molten schooner]

Check poll in pins

[lusty lion]

Next week's sched:

Tuesday: Vanderbilt apparently? Lol
Wed: northwestern
Thurs: nyu, duke, penn,
Who knows: stanford, mich

[mighty scaffold]

My entire friendgroup got rejected

Or waitlisted

But one person got in but theyre gonna go to uof

[cold yarrow]

likewise bruh

[hoary imp]

“this wish” from wish 💀💀 if i get rejected i can dunk on the lyrics

[low belfry]

u def got yielded

[cold yarrow]

do they even do yield tho

[molten schooner]

meh

[stiff oak]

waitlisted

1590 sat 3.95

[lusty lion]

I have 4.0 uw too

[cold yarrow]

ok what

[lusty lion]

That's acc bs I'm sorry

[cold yarrow]

what r they doing

[low belfry]

yield bro

[misty mountain]

Well, I got accepted in for business (and then later decided here to throw all my credits away for data science) but they won't let you take QST business courses since Questrom has a stupid policy that all business courses must be taken within the university. There are some courses you can still take and get credit for though (like you still need calc, stats, and both econs for Questrom, so you can take those if you haven't)

[lusty lion]

Does bu really think they're all that like what

[low belfry]

fs

[cold yarrow]

if i dont get an ivy ill j copy by telling myseld i got "yielded" again 😭

cope

[lusty lion]

I'm sorry bu but no matter how bad you try to act like ur as selective as one: u r not a t20

[simple steppe]

Out?

[stiff oak]

nah maybe my supp was ass

kinda copied piq

[cold yarrow]

thats only a small factor

[simple steppe]

Is it out???

[cold yarrow]

yes

[hoary imp]

yes

[low belfry]

[cold yarrow]

whatever im going back to sleep

[stiff oak]

[molten schooner]

same but i got into Berkeley and LA with that same piq??

[mighty shell]

for me it is straight up rejections

[sour smelt]

goodbye my friends

[molten schooner]

honestly just confused lol

[stiff oak]

yeah same idk

[lusty lion]

I wasted my time responding to their shitty prompt

[misty mountain]

BU is weird, I'm sure you've got better results coming your way this week

[stiff oak]

wtv frick boston u i have better options anyways

[cold yarrow]

dude what is going on

[stiff oak]

just a ego hurter ig

[lusty lion]

retweet

[cold yarrow]

im premed and rly wanna go to atleast a t20 but have 0 options LOL

[lusty lion]

I would never go but it just hurts lol

[stiff oak]

did u do LACs?

[cold yarrow]

some

but. mostly good premed schools

like

[lusty lion]

b to put me in a good mood again

[stiff oak]

i think most LACs r good for premed

[cold yarrow]

waitloisted from all of them

[molten schooner]

nah i feel like everything upcoming is a rejection but either way i have great choices currently and im in a very secure position! would've been nice to secure a W before going into ivy week but hey it is what it is :")

[merry thicket]

[lusty lion]

[stiff oak]

im bouta listen to sad music to think of bigger things in life

[simple steppe]

Fuck

[lusty lion]

That's what i thought but it's out

[compact shuttle]

Fuck this school

[merry thicket]

"Please check back often to review your application status.

All of the materials needed for you to complete your application to Boston University can be found in this checklist."

[molten schooner]

if you want to boost your ego, remember that the guy who got a Harvard and Yale likely got rejected from bu

[simple steppe]

Rejected

[compact shuttle]

I’m so done with this bullshit

[cold yarrow]

im j gonna go watch the resident

[latent nimbus]

Bro I can’t even check my portal because my login info’s jammed

[lusty lion]

Top left corner

[molten schooner]

Did you submit all your materials?

[eager cave]

is that a full rejection or guarabteed trabsfer

[glad bramble]

omg i got in

[lusty lion]

I didn't submit any materials and I still got a decision lol

[cold yarrow]

yay

[glad bramble]

i must’ve written a really good loci

[stiff oak]

nah but i got rjeected at all my reach research private unis

[lusty lion]

Rejection

[stiff oak]

and my hard reaches for LACs

[eager cave]

same man

[compact shuttle]

Idk what I did wrong why did 8/10 reject me and 1 waitlist 😭

[low belfry]

gap year type vibes

[bright vortex]

is it rolling i haven’t gotten anything

[cold yarrow]

are u premed

[compact shuttle]

Nah bro I have big scholarships from targets and northeastern

[stiff oak]

yeah

[misty mountain]

I don't know, considering you got through in Berkeley early and have LA as an option too, I'd not be surprised if you pull through with a W next week haha

[cold yarrow]

what optiosn do u have as of rn

[stiff oak]

actually i sound like an ass rn, i have good options like colby and middlbeury

but they rtoo expensive

and i have ucla

but its not good for premed

[cold yarrow]

hm

[lusty lion]

Now i understand why no one from my school applies to the us lol

[stiff oak]

rejected williams, pomona, wash uy, northeastern,

[merry thicket]

oop got rejected for economics, but accepeted to usc and uva economics

[cold yarrow]

i have GT Case western and USC that id acc consider

[low belfry]

future transfer

[cold yarrow]

usc too much money

[lusty lion]

Ya it's bs

[stiff oak]

CWRU

[cold yarrow]

55k

[stiff oak]

pretty good for premed

[compact shuttle]

Why?

[sonic creek]

Did anyone get the London or New England start thing

[stiff oak]

just shitty student life

[cold yarrow]

GT gave me money for neuro so itll only be 20k or so a ywar

[misty mountain]

CGS, right?

[molten schooner]

haha thanks for the confidence but ivies are more expensive than UC instate for me so i feel like even if i get in i wouldn't be able to go so it'd just hurt😭

[low belfry]

i mean if u aint happy w neu why not apply transfer

[latent nimbus]

Dude I hate this portal I have like 20 reset login requests pending

[bright vortex]

oh damn waitlisted

[compact shuttle]

Oh I am happy with it, I loved neu, I just would like more options to pick from, plus shocked I got so many rejections

[stiff oak]

istg UC readers have a diff set of crtieria for the Piqs so they dont even work for my priv school applications

[sonic creek]

yeah, did you have to apply for it? I don’t recall applying at all

[misty mountain]

Honestly, Berkeley or LA I'd probably have gone if I were in the case that I got those UCs and ivies. I know Berkeley gets a slightly bad rep for the surrounding area and whatnot, but it's gonna be awesome still from what I've seen my friends do over there

[misty mountain]

No, they may offer you CGS even if you didn't apply

[compact shuttle]

Can anyone tell me if my BU essay was garbage cus I reused that essay for a lot of schools so that mighta been the reason sm reaches rejected me?

[untold crane]

Let’s go to case together bae

[bright vortex]

i’m lowkey not that mad i got one college decision left but i have 4 choices and i’d kinda be overwhelmed if it was more

but i have not been accepted anywhere since january i miss the confetti 😞

[untold crane]

LOL FR

[tropic patrol]

got guranteed transfer lmoa 😭😭

[untold crane]

My twin

[latent nimbus]

[worn wadi]

whaatt

[low belfry]

[tropic patrol]

ok question tho what is the guaranteed transfer program ??

[untold crane]

Basically you’re 100% guaranteed admission. Next year as a transfer student

[robust hearth]

They gave you money OOS??? I didn’t get any money for GT

[quaint sun]

Guys I got in 💪💪💪

[tropic patrol]

interesting ty

grats !

[untold crane]

No problem

Ngl I see it as a good thing bc if you don’t like where ur planning on going it’s a good backup

Instead of being straight up rejected or even accepted and losing the opportunity straight up

[jolly igloo]

Can someone plz send the link for the portal plz

[tropic patrol]

yea ig lol

[jolly igloo]

For some reason my portal says it’s invalid

[bright vortex]

for anyone that was waitlisted i just checked the cds and only 3 people got off it last year😭😭

[knotty hatch]

https://bu.my.site.com/myBU/s/

[jaunty owl]

[latent nimbus]

"The username you entered cannot be identified."

[jaunty owl]

SAME

[severe plaza]

[latent nimbus]

why tf did these guys decide to release it on a saturday

[molten schooner]

yeah im lowk leaning LA because of the area😭

[misty mountain]

Remind me of your major again?

[jolly igloo]

wow

[misty mountain]

Also, Berkeley being near rest of silicon valley means you're back in mini-India to some extent

[molten schooner]

Communication at UCLA, media studies at Berkeley

[wind relic]

Y’all I really got wl bu, tufts, neu, amherst college, and Williams 😭 if this isn’t a sign idk what is

[molten schooner]

Major is cooler at Berkeley but vibe is better at UCLA

[molten schooner]

Massachusetts is not for you love

[jolly igloo]

lol 1570 and 3.86 UW 14 APs WLed

[molten schooner]

true true but i don't think that'll be a major problem lol

[cold yarrow]

i wish but its sooo expensive

[wind relic]

No fr 😭 really went 2/7 in Massachusetts

[cold yarrow]

yeah idk how i didnt even apply for the scholarship

[molten schooner]

for my bu reject neu wl umass honors reject so i have beeeeeeef

[misty mountain]

Hmm, have you had a chance to tour yet?

[molten schooner]

I've toured ucla

loved it obv

haven't been to berkeley because i never considered it before i got in

[cold yarrow]

how much cheaper are ucs for in state students compared to oos

[misty mountain]

Oh no, I don't mean as a problem, I meant as some sort of familiarity cause coming here to Boston has actually made it difficult to get Indian food on a regular basis

[latent nimbus]

la >>> cal

[misty mountain]

which for the most part is okay

but it gets difficult at times ngl

[latent nimbus]

totally unbiased opinion here

[wind relic]

Nooo I’m really distraught by that’s but everything else whatever

[molten schooner]

ohhh but also UCLA has the best dining hall in the country

[misty mountain]

Ah, I've also only toured UCLA and it's nice too but

[molten schooner]

but also i have family near berkeley so i could get home cooked meals

[robust hearth]

Nice GT definitely my top choice rn

[glad bramble]

if snybody is in cas hmu

[molten schooner]

aww it's okay cali is better anyways🫂🫂🫂🫂

[misty mountain]

Right, I've heard a lot about that too

[cold yarrow]

same but im neuro so i am praying for ivy day to pull thru

[warped ermine]

Anyone know rd acceptance rate?

[robust hearth]

Yeah good luck fr

[misty mountain]

lol I honestly think MA is better in terms of safety + cleanliness, but California is home for me now so

[cold yarrow]

thanks bruh penn is my dream

[misty mountain]

I'll be biased and say Berkeley > LA but that's just me

[molten schooner]

wait wdym it's home for you now

also i cannot do cold weather so cali SUPREMACY 💪

[robust hearth]

Nicee Yale’s my only hope

[azure blaze]

so they can hide from angry parents

[molten schooner]

nah you're good they're both excellent schools and i don't think i can go wrong with either im honestly just looking for external signs to guide me😭

[cold yarrow]

damn what major?

[azure blaze]

as a Bay Area person smrithi my school is 95% Asian or something

[unreal terrace]

Bro I saw on reddit that RD is out??

[misty mountain]

I moved from India to California about 9 years ago and we live there now (apart from me coming here to Boston for uni and going back during breaks)

[cold yarrow]

Frrrr but any idea when they'll reveal if we got the presidential scholarship or not?

[latent nimbus]

ripperoni

[patent niche]

Maybe? I mean I’ve got 1550 and 4.6, but also don’t have that many int/nat awards? Idk college applications is a black box

Did you apply for the honors college?

[molten schooner]

If you got it it would've been on your letter

[slender field]

Ohhh damn, no other scholarships for BU?

[upbeat frost]

GIRLL CONGRATS ON COM ME TOO!!!🎉🎉

[knotty hatch]

YAYYYY!!!!

CONGRATSSS

[compact shuttle]

i thought i was getting into BU with a 4.15 and 1450

and ecs/essays/honors that most definitely fit BU's vibe

ig not 💀

[pearl lichen]

I didn't, maybe they perceived that as low interest 💀

[compact shuttle]

babson i was sooooo sure about and got waitlisted there

this whole process is fucked

[molten schooner]

reminder to do poll ^

[upbeat frost]

God I love acceptance confetti <3

[molten schooner]

omg show

[upbeat frost]

I’m sorry I alr exited out of it💔😭

[slender field]

wait

guys

Even for trustee scholarship it'll be mentioned in the letter?

like if we got it or not

[timber mulch]

i got it in my acceptance letter today

[slender field]

ayyy congratulations! But haha I meant the trustee one since my brother who got in is an intl

[night mantle]

ahhh i got in with the presidential scholarship for national merit!!!

[bright vortex]

a2c is so cracked

[night mantle]

they do

i got my scholarship in my acceptance

although it was national merit based so idk if it's different

[stiff oak]

WL boston and rejeced oberlin im coooked

[unreal terrace]

Guys wtf

I got in 😭

[slender field]

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

LET'S GOOOOO

CONGRATULATIONS

[unreal terrace]

Thankssss

[night mantle]

CONGRATS

[unreal terrace]

Thankssss 😭

Guys anybody know if trustee scholarship results are out with decision?

[slender field]

they are

[azure blaze]

ucla won’t be bad for anything ofc

[bitter cape]

uh...guaranteed transfer?

moment

[merry thicket]

Same

[compact shuttle]

i got yield protected

by all them reaches

northeastern just wanted me that bad

😎

still have hope for 3 more reaches

[untold birch]

why is mine not out yet?? 😭

[burnt hawk]

I only have reaches left bruh

Like 9 of them

[untold birch]

nvm

[lusty epoch]

waitlisted

[sonic creek]

so I still have a choice? idk it seemed like it was worded like I will be starting there

[molten schooner]

lol okay

[molten schooner]

yeah i think so

[molten schooner]

true true

[misty mountain]

Well, not exactly. You can't appeal that CGS decision

[sonic creek]

ah okay. is it basically not a first choice then or is it like a good thing to have received

[manic vigil]

Lol I got into BU Cs

[dusty grove]

guaranteed transfer wtf is that

[misty mountain]

No, so CGS is an acceptance, but you'll be completing up almost all your BU Hub credits/GE requirements your freshman + sophomore year before you take the upper core classes for your major (you'll be taking electives for your major too during CGS)

As opposed to others who have to fulfill those BU Hub credits over 4 years

[manic vigil]

BU Cs vs UIUC cs, which is better? go

[tropic aspen]

If I didn’t get an email by now, am I rejected?

[dusty grove]

so like how many kids get guarantee transfer decisions?

[manic vigil]

did u check ur app status on their website?

[tropic aspen]

No I’m in bed, I’ll do that rn 💀

[manic vigil]

bruh, even I didn't get the email, so I just checked on their wesbite

[merry thicket]

me

[crystal meteor]

wait this is the first oos private school i’ve gotten into

..and prob the last

[lusty epoch]

is waitlisted basically over?

[keen fable]

I didn’t even want Boston anyway. Too colonial 😟😟😟☹️☹️

[dusty grove]

the last chance of me going to Boston is HARVARD

[dense axle]

waitlisted

[sonic creek]

ah okay that makes sense thank you for answering

[manic vigil]

ok but for CS: BU or UIUC??

[dense axle]

considering how many others ive seen get waitlisted imma say yes

[fallen drift]

🙏🤞🤞

[merry thicket]

I heard that if u go to a school like amherst, bu, bc, northeastern, or whatever is near harvard

You can study at Haravard, and harvard students can study at the other campuses as well

[crystal meteor]

wait rlly??

[merry thicket]

yeah my friend from bu told me about it, he told me he plans on doing that

[crystal meteor]

yooo that’s fire

[merry thicket]

yeah ikrrrr, too bad bu didnt want me. I'll just have to actually get into harvard this year

[crystal meteor]

ahhh gl!!

[merry thicket]

thank you. I need it.

[crystal meteor]

i was fully expecting to get rejected at bu so opening my acceptance half asleep at 7:30 am was quite interesting

[merry thicket]

oMG CONGRATS

[molten schooner]

Id say uiuc in terms of program but bu is a private school so your infrastructure will be better and class sizes will be smaller and stuff

[merry thicket]

ARE U COMITTING

[molten schooner]

congrats!!!

[crystal meteor]

ahhh prob not cuz of cost 😭

[merry thicket]

omg danggg

where do you think you are going to?

[glad bramble]

did you check the aid they gave u?

they tell u with acceptance

[crystal meteor]

currently my top choices are uiuc, uc davis, & cal poly slo but i have 9 more decisions left so hopefully smth good happens 🤞🏼

[merry thicket]

ohhhhh

[crystal meteor]

i don’t qualify for aid 😭

[merry thicket]

LOL DID U HEAR ABOUT CAL POLY SLO ST PATRICK THING

[crystal meteor]

YES HAHA

[merry thicket]

I saw the email and it was so awful 😭

[north warren]

no it’s not lol

I got waitlisted and got into uva and cmu so

doesn’t mean anything for you lil bro

[ember ledge]

well i got rejected from bu in addition to bc and unc, both of which i thought i had a decent shot at getting in at

[north warren]

still doesn’t mean anything

[ember ledge]

well i mean im still chilling tho, i got into uva ea, so worst comes to worst, im going there, and uva is better than bu anyways for what i want to do

[north warren]

I got rejected from GT, NEU, Pomona, Tufts

I thought BU was guaranteed in

[ember ledge]

same

[north warren]

@

BU & UVA were like

my reach targets

and then I got into cmu and now my entire career is set in cs

[lost iron]

rejected rip

[north warren]

trash school anyway

do they take LOCI or something

[main wigeon]

yeah youre chilling ngl

[wind relic]

Nooo I'm sorry :(

[compact shuttle]

It’s aight tho neu got my back

And Brandeis/syracuse with the schollys

[grave ridge]

got waitlisted 😭

[wheat marsh]

Is neu better than lehigh?

And bu

[marsh spade]

Where’s the poll?

I wanna see how the results are looking

Did anyone get trustee?

Or presidential?

Or any other scholarship?

[desert star]

Yeah a few People did

You’ll need to scroll up

Decisions came out over 4 hours ago

[subtle hemlock]

wtf this email

it was just an incorrect date lol

[molten schooner]

Presidential a couple of people did

[molten schooner]

Did you get in?

[elfin mural]

Waitlisted

ffs

[marsh spade]

Damn but nobody got trustee?

That’s ok, I’ll be the first to get trustee

[marsh spade]

I’m not checking til after my baseball game so I don’t get depressed before the game if I get rejected 😂

[molten schooner]

lol fair, gl!!

[molten schooner]

I don't think so?

[marsh spade]

That sucks, I’ll check Reddit

[marble scarab]

does everyone get guarantee transfer

[astral flicker]

If I said I didn't want need based aid on common app but then wrote that I needed the presidential scholarship on the bank statement, would I be considered in the with need or without need pool?

[compact shuttle]

IMO, yes. Definitely better than Lehigh for business, better than BU in some aspects (opportunities, co-ops, pay. Probably worse curriculum but still. Also easier to get a good grade at NEU.)

[wheat marsh]

Oh ok cool

How is it easier to get good grades, grade inflation?

[oak belfry]

Yeah Neu can be worth it for sure through co-op experience

[wheat marsh]

Dyk if it’s better than rutgers also

[compact shuttle]

Idk if it has grade inflation but BU has bad grade deflation

[silk widget]

poll

[wheat marsh]

Yeah that’s what seems to be great abt it esp bc of the job market rn

[wheat marsh]

Oh ok

[compact shuttle]

For business? I’d say it’s way up there cus co ops are literally a W

but Rutgers is also good

[silk widget]

@wind relic did u apply BU

[oak belfry]

yep, experience is probably the number 1 value out there

[compact shuttle]

For me I’d choose neu over all those schools

Well I’d consider BU heavily

[silk widget]

does anyone know anything about the data science program at BU

[wheat marsh]

Yea I would too but the cost is kinda scary

[timid notch]

Huh, a decision already?

[oak belfry]

i think i'd take bu, but only if i did quality internships, otherwise neu any day of the week

[wheat marsh]

Cool

[oak belfry]

but luckily i dont have to make that decision LOL

[timid notch]

Excuse me why is there more acceptances than rejections?

According to the poll

[oak belfry]

a lot of waitlists i assume + a2c

[wheat marsh]

Nice lol

[oak belfry]

• some people dont vote on polls when they get rejected (me)

[wheat marsh]

Did u alr decide on a college

[oak belfry]

i still have 4 decisions left so not yet

[wheat marsh]

Oh ok

What r u leaning towards rn then

[oak belfry]

if i get rejected from all 4 of those, usc

[wheat marsh]

Oh damn u got usc?

That’s insane big W congrats

[oak belfry]

yeah after ea defferal

[oak belfry]

Thx

[wheat marsh]

For me rn the main ones I have are neu, rutgers, and fordham bc they’re giving me 100k

I’m not rlly sure what to do tho

[oak belfry]

neu is kinda expensive

[wheat marsh]

Yea that’s the main draw

[oak belfry]

but if you can afford it you can get ROI

is fordham expensive?

[wheat marsh]

Yea I can afford it so that’s the only reason I’m rlly considering it

Fordham is like 200k total I think

So it’s like half off

[oak belfry]

ah that's nice

[marble scarab]

"one of a select group of students to whom we are offering
guaranteed admission as a transfer student to the College of Arts & Sciences for September 2025" does that include CS

[oak belfry]

i dont think so

but check what college cs is under

[marble scarab]

ya there have cs in arts and sciences and engineering but https://www.bu.edu/cs/ I wonder if they have extra restrictions to transfer specially to CS

I guess im going to have to email

[timid notch]

Does guaranteed transfer technically mean an acceptance or no?

[oak belfry]

idk if you must meet a gpa requirement beforehand but generally yeah

[silk widget]

is cs good in boston U

[misty mountain]

For business, not really. Grade deflation isn’t standardized across all majors

[elfin walrus]

is there any way someone could get off the waitlist

[oak belfry]

@misty mountain r u majoring in business

[crystal meteor]

i got in for data sci too!! don’t rlly know anything abt it tho but the building looks so cool & the work they’re doing seems dope

[silk widget]

if u learn anything more about it lmk, im deciding between boston, davis, and SB right now

ik davis and SB data sciences are kinda equal but i didnt really research much of boston

[crystal meteor]

woah davis is one of my top choices rn too

[north warren]

it’s like on par with rutgers NB

[silk widget]

maybe we'll end up in same class lol

[north warren]

in engineering and cs I’d say about the same

[crystal meteor]

frfr

[misty mountain]

No, I got in for business but switching off to data science

[north warren]

in business rutgers better

switching to data sci is smart

[oak belfry]

damn, you didnt like it? or was it your original plan

[timid notch]

I like how Boston University is going toe to toe with Ohio State in rankings 😎

[north warren]

^ rifht

[silk widget]

lol i might do the opposite, idk if im too confident about my coding abilities

[misty mountain]

No, I felt like I’ll get bored in business and I found my love for math stuff again

[oak belfry]

nice

[north warren]

you know u can go in with 0 coding knowledge right

[wheat marsh]

Do u mean neu is on par with rutgers

[north warren]

both BU & NEU

[oak belfry]

u can even go in cs with 0 coding knowledge

[wheat marsh]

Oh ok

[north warren]

That’s what im doing

[wheat marsh]

Dyk abt for finance specifically

[north warren]

cmu with nothing but robotics and apcs 5

[north warren]

Rutgers > both I think

[wheat marsh]

O rlly

[oak belfry]

full respect, i had one part of me that wanted to do that but i ended up not doing it

i mean i have some coding experience with python/html but not that much

[north warren]

I got in without having crazy experience so

[wheat marsh]

Aside from cost northeastern seemed to be a good amt better with opportunities

[silk widget]

just lock in during college

[oak belfry]

also java but i forgor

[north warren]

northeastern co op is great but

Rutgers is obvious first choice if you think about pricing

[misty mountain]

I don’t think you need to worry too much if you’re in DS

[north warren]

NEU is an inflated education

the co op is the best part

[oak belfry]

r u gonna use the summer to get your fundamentals down

[timid notch]

Question, isn’t northeastern like a decade ago considered like a “bad school,” now on current times it’s like really good now?

[north warren]

Maybe I already know Java and Python so

I want to do web dev now

[wheat marsh]

Yea that’s the annoying part

[north warren]

yes because they rigged rankings and charge more and pick less

[oak belfry]

can u specialize in that? idk how cs works

[north warren]

well basically

if you get a cs degree

you can become anything related to coding really

so full stack app developer, web developer, software engineer

[oak belfry]

ahh i see

[north warren]

if you don’t get into a cs program u can always do

comp engineering

because it’s just less math and theories and more hardware work, but u could pivot into SWE with that

basically for a lot of comp sci people the goal is to be SWE

at like

Jane street

[oak belfry]

i mean to be fair swe does have hella money

but most people are also passionate which is cool

[north warren]

cs is becoming over saturated but it’s only because people who aren’t genuinely good at it are in it for the money

I’m sort of in both camps because I have a knack for languages in general

[wind relic]

WWW

[wind relic]

WL yes

Hit w 4 wl this weekend, 1 acceptance

[silk widget]

you dont need BU

its alr

[north warren]

^^^

[timid notch]

Imagine getting the same decent education in Ohio State 😎

[north warren]

please think about how much it will cost

[silk widget]

i only got berkeley and nyu left im just praying for a miracle

[north warren]

if ur state school is rhtgers

then basically go there unless u get into like t20-10 depending on if u can afford

[silk widget]

wait can you get scholarhships for BU in RD

[north warren]

depends

[silk widget]

cause i didnt see any in my decision leter

[north warren]

did u submit ur app before dec 1

[silk widget]

nope

[north warren]

then yeah u can’t

there was a scholarship deadline

[silk widget]

whoops unlucky

[north warren]

yeah that’s why o rushed my essays

[marble scarab]

BU > NEU for CS?

[north warren]

I was doing it the night before

[misty mountain]

No

[north warren]

For job placement NEU >>>

[misty mountain]

Go for NEU

[north warren]

but that’s because connections

[oak belfry]

same for like 5 of my colleges

[north warren]

the cs program is almost the same shit at both

[oak belfry]

honestly the ones i rushed probably went better

[north warren]

I would not dive too deep into the discrepancy BU usually gets ranked slightly higher than NEU in STEM

[north warren]

maybe yeah

[misty mountain]

CS is alright here. I’d say DS is a good option (not biased lol) here considering the amount of funding going into making the program work + all the initiatives and curriculum. It’ll definitely get very competitive to get in (in the future)

[north warren]

my cmu ones were all copy and pasted

from other schools

and then just edited

[oak belfry]

i mean it might just be the fact that i dont wanna leave my top choices for the day before 🤣

[oak belfry]

the ideal college one? u had a similar one like that

[north warren]

wdym

[oak belfry]

it was one of the only ones i had to do

[north warren]

oh the learning experience essay?

[marble scarab]

Are you at BU for CS rn lol

[north warren]

I think

[oak belfry]

yeah the ideal experience or whatever

[misty mountain]

No, I intend to go in DS

[marble scarab]

are there any restrictions for internal transfers

into cs

[misty mountain]

No, don’t think so

[crystal meteor]

the data sci work happening at bu sounds so cool

[misty mountain]

Definitely

I’m not great at programming, so I’m more focused on getting down a bunch of the math before next semester when I have to take programming stuff for DS

So basically taking linear algebra in 38 days this summer here

Even though it’s not required

[stiff stag]

wled no way

i mtaking straight Ls

[north warren]

yeah I cooked so hard on that oml

that was a fantastic essay

about how I want to work hands on and at Carnegie Mellon I can build something tangible and real

damn yea I forgot

[oak belfry]

i think it was my weakest tbh, but just because i had good why major / community essays

[north warren]

yeah it’s a unique thing

I wrote about some initiative I did

im going to start a channel and post essay tips and stuff like that

[oak belfry]

w

[north warren]

where are you planning on going so far

[oak belfry]

my youtube career was ended after i posted like 10 minecraft videos with 0 views

[north warren]

[misty mountain]

Yeah, I unfortunately don’t know a junior / senior but I can ask my friend if you want any information from him

[oak belfry]

for sure ill tell you if i commit

[north warren]

Try to get someone’s unfiltered opinion

[misty mountain]

Yeah, sounds good!

[gusty fable]

hey guys i just got woke up and i got in woohoo

[north warren]

oh is UGA the bulldogs thing

[timid notch]

Yes

[untold crane]

Anyone get this email?

Except the date stayed the same LOL

[compact shuttle]

Oh alright that’s fair. I’d still say BU and NEU are relatively close in terms of business from what I heard

[strong bramble]

In previous years was waitlist stated as “short and unranked” or is that just to help me cope

[misty mountain]

Yeah, that’s true

You can’t really go wrong with either

[velvet trail]

waitlisted

bruh

im sick of getting waitlisted

[velvet trail]

waitlisted

bro what do any of these colleges want

im the waitlist demon

[gusty fable]

bruhhhh they missing out writing an angry email to their dean rn

[north warren]

I got it after i saw my WL

[jaunty owl]

the portal isnt working wtf

[north warren]

Depends what sat score & gpa

[stiff stag]

hmm

maybe yielded then?

[north warren]

I am literally BU’s ideal student

FGLI, 1500+, 4.0

what else they want bro

[patent niche]

I’m kinda guessing if you are overqualified and didn’t apply honors they might yield protect

‘Cause lack of indicated interest

[jaunty owl]

i might have fotten yielded

i did not demonstrate interest 💀

I copy pasted like a dartmouth essay

onto the prompt

Jt was exactly 250 words

oops

[crystal meteor]

i copy pasted a uc piq 💀

[silk widget]

i just reworded my nyu essay

[jaunty owl]

1550 SAT 42PG and a shit ton of math awards

i think i was more than good enouhh

oh well

[north warren]

I applied khc

[north warren]

Ok we got yield or they want test op

yeah they are just weird bro

we are cracked

maybe because they know we won’t go here

Idk

All the schools I got into don’t send Jack

[stiff oak]

[stiff oak]

idk

[main wigeon]

[silk widget]

my bu and nyu supps were identical

so like

idk

[stiff oak]

i think rd? dont quote me on it

[silk widget]

ed is crazy high

like 30 i think

[main wigeon]

probably wont matter much tbh since bu yield prots, not bad but not good ig

U got into CMU and UVA for CS, but got waitlisted at BU??

[north warren]

yeah

[silk widget]

yield protection

[stiff oak]

college admissions in a nutshell

[jaunty owl]

Gield protection is

[north warren]

rejected from GT

[jaunty owl]

wild

[manic vigil]

I got rejected from UVA from CS, but got into BU bruh

[jaunty owl]

😭

[north warren]

So what ur saying is I got yield protecyex

😭😭🐱🐱

[manic vigil]

idk what that is

[north warren]

yield protection means

[silk widget]

when ur too good for a college

[north warren]

rejecting people who won’t go there

[silk widget]

and they know u not gonna go

[manic vigil]

ohhhh

[north warren]

or waitlist in Deven

Them

[stiff oak]

i dont think its yield

[north warren]

to protect their yield (I.e. percentage of people who enroll)

[stiff oak]

BU is tol selective for that
