Northeastern University (2023-2024)

[viscid quartz]

doesnt hurt

[sleek cloak]

i think demonstrated interest is HUGE

my stats are horrible for this school yet i still got into boston

[light mountain]

where did u get this

there’s no way there’s a 53% ed acceptance rate

[buoyant cypress]

same

i think it was my ec’s and rec letters that carried tbh

[sleek cloak]

yeah i think my rec letters are the best part of my application by a lot

[buoyant cypress]

im def feeling some imposter syndrome though 😭 like how did my ass get into neu

[light mountain]

i’ve checked the doc like 50 times it’s gotta be a joke or something

some type of prank

[simple lantern]

wait so ED decisions are coming out?

[light mountain]

having a northeastern legacy teacher write my rec probably helped? maybe

it came out tonight

[simple lantern]

bro I'm sorry how the hell were u supposed to demonstrate interest in this school I didn't do that at all 💀

I'm getting rejected aren't I 🫤

i did think it was weird on how easy the application was

[meager isle]

sorry to say but ED is the biggest demonstrated interest u can do

[grizzled bough]

Nah

No chance

[sleek cloak]

yeah

i ed'd, tour'd, 2x online info session, and kept in touch with the admissions officer

[finite sequoia]

true but it's also kinda sus that you eded without visiting or inquiring about the school

[viscid quartz]

demonstrated interest is mainly a matter of applying ED itself i dont think the other things like tours really affect whether or not u get in

[simple lantern]

so is there like no other way?

[simple lantern]

bru i live in louisiana theres no way im going all the way to boston 😭

[buoyant violet]

you can def increase your demonstrated interest like what evankim did

[simple lantern]

oh okay the info sessions and AO's

yeah i completley missed that ngl

im assuming its too late now?

[sleek cloak]

i have no idea tbh

did u ea

[simple lantern]

yup

[buoyant violet]

its probably not late yet, you can still try to attend online tours and stuff like that

[meager isle]

i only did ED

[stuck sandal]

Damn

I just attend one virtual session

I ain’t doing allat

[meager isle]

its a 4 hour drive from me to boston and i like didnt want to bother AO or reps cause like i already found answers to my questions lol

[simple lantern]

if they reject me they reject me, they were probably just gonna overprice me anyway

[stuck sandal]

What other schools u lookin at

[simple lantern]

the only other "prestigious" school im looking at is tulane

and i actually did the demonstrated interest there besides the ED

[stuck sandal]

Bet

[simple lantern]

man im broke i cant go around doing ED like that 😭

[sleek cloak]

yeah im like a 6 hour drive but got fam down there

[stuck sandal]

Me too gang 😭

[simple lantern]

college admission culture SUCKS

i didnt even know how crazy it was until i was finishing up my junior year. i just didnt care about college and just did my school work

[meager isle]

"Students are required, at minimum, to complete four years of English, two years of history, two years of the same foreign language, three years of science, and three years of math. Our most competitive applicants will have completed four years of all five major subjects, or perhaps dropped one subject as a senior to double up on equally rigorous courses in another subject."

I tried to meet that while focusing my application as a whole on a subject that goes hand in hand with my major

[stuck sandal]

Same bro

[simple lantern]

never realized there were freshman doing like internships and being the president of a million clubs trying to go to harvard bruh i was playing ROBLOX when i was 14

[stuck sandal]

I was playing csgo

[simple lantern]

but i mean i also do not care about prestige that much

i like northeastern's double majoring programs thats about it

[stuck sandal]

I like their co ops

I wonder why unis don’t advertise that as much

[simple lantern]

yeah thats what i was talking about

[stuck sandal]

Ah

[simple lantern]

i was gonna try to do like criminal justice and computer science with them but tbh looking on this server and hearing some of the people who are at like Yale and stuff and how they complain about their work, im good

[buoyant violet]

i did math english history and science for four years, doubled up on math junior year and CS senior year but only took two (technically three with middle school) years of a foreign language

[meager isle]

dw, i played CSGO whole freshman year, had MED (Medically Excused) as my grades for my sophmore year transcript. just be genuine and write like a human

[eager girder]

did you develop on ROBLOX

[simple lantern]

no

[meager isle]

my school requires math and english 4 years and history for 3, and i did language for 3. doubled up on science this year with physics and anatomy

[simple lantern]

oh wow

[eager girder]

😎

[buoyant violet]

you should research how your AP/IBs transfer to NU credits and what classes you need for the major you want

everyone who got in today ^^

[simple lantern]

wait they take dual enrollment right?

[buoyant violet]

i think so?

[simple lantern]

ok thought so too

[meager isle]

i went from a weighted gpa freshman year of 4.1 to weighted gpa now of 3.9. i wrote a lot abt what happened sophmore year lol

[simple lantern]

yeah but you have all that demonstrated interest, i might get yield protected

[buoyant violet]

i came in with 38 AP credits and was only able to use 12 towards my major (CECS)

[eager girder]

38 ap credits

https://tenor.com/view/dead-my-honest-reaction-damn-skull-skeleton-gif-15885937969029652188

[stuck sandal]

Dude it’s crazy to think that roblox bring some leverage

[simple lantern]

like 38 ap credits or equivilent to 38 college credits???

[buoyant violet]

thats 9 classes, i know people that had 60+

[meager isle]

whats ur stats like gpa and sat

[eager girder]

of course

[buoyant violet]

9 classes over 4 high school years aint crazy

[simple lantern]

4.5 and 33 ACT

[stuck sandal]

I remember playing that shit when I was 7

[buoyant violet]

4.75 weighted and 1530

[meager isle]

unweighted?

[eager girder]

oh thats reasonable

[simple lantern]

oh a 3.9 i think

[eager girder]

i thought you meant 38 ap classes

[buoyant violet]

i did 0, 1, 3, 5 though

oh nah just 38 credits from 9 classes

[eager girder]

that makes more sense

[simple lantern]

idk how people get 36's on their ACT so easily, i had to grind for a whole year just to score in the 30's

[buoyant violet]

AP Lang and Lit count for the same thing, Bio counts for 10 but you cant use it unless you're a bio major

[meager isle]

is 33 act like 1460 sat

[simple lantern]

i never gave up so hard once I got what i wanted

[simple lantern]

something like that yeah

1450 for my score

[buoyant violet]

i used calc AB for calc 1, Lang and Lit for First year writing, and CSA for a python class

[eager girder]

course rigor in general for northeastern is valued right

[buoyant violet]

yea fs

[eager girder]

like if you took the maximum amount of APs offered (related to your field) thats good

i didnt want to self-study ap world or us

[buoyant violet]

im half CS major and took CSA and CSP and then the next highest honors CS class and two intro CS classes

[meager isle]

the middle 50 sat is 1490-1540 so ur under. imo this is truly just from me reading tons of acceptance and rejected stats from kids on reddit and irl but what ive noticed is above the 50% u get yield protected and below 50% you have a higher chance of getting rejected <- these were all EA and RD applicants. So most people just apply test optional if they aint in the 50% range

[buoyant violet]

i focused on math science and CS mainly

[eager girder]

what happens if your highest level of CS is just CSP

[buoyant violet]

thats fine

[eager girder]

wish we had CSA

[buoyant violet]

theres people in my accelerated engineering class that hadnt touched code at all

[eager girder]

really wow

[simple lantern]

well shoot i submitted the scores

i hate college admissions man

when was that SAT score stupid ?? 😭

i can just go to my local state uni on a full ride with a score like that

[buoyant violet]

its stacked cornerstone for anyone interested, would simulatenously recommend for knowledge and resume building but not recommend for the absolutely insane workload

[meager isle]

just northeastern lol. you have a good shot. theres a reason why people bash on the school

[simple lantern]

you right you right, im just worried cause i did ZERO demonstrated interest

[meager isle]

the demonstrated interest (again my opinion from what i noticed) is just ED. tours and contacting dont matter at all

its just a placebo, the school just wants u to ED

thats why the admission process is like tulanes

[simple lantern]

now them i actually wanna go to

[sleek cloak]

i went test optional

[simple lantern]

i like them, gonna try to get a good scholarship there

[meager isle]

ED is also a free application so more incentive to apply

[sleek cloak]

yeah northeasterns 50th percentile being a 1500 is wild

i think the 50% range is like 1460-1520 tho smt like that

[meager isle]

same. my sat is extrodinarily low

[meager isle]

on their website its 1490-1540

[viscid quartz]

i got in test optional

[simple lantern]

i highly doubt that. this server is just ridiculous

these people cannot be real

[sleek cloak]

mine was like a 1400 flat

i didnt submit

[meager isle]

what do you think i mean by low, give a guess

[simple lantern]

like 1200

[buoyant violet]

still a good amount above average

[simple lantern]

yeah exactly

[sleek cloak]

n definitely got a 1430 and is being humble

[meager isle]

even tho thats 70% national range in termsof these school its low

[buoyant violet]

my class' val (Gtech) got a 1590 first try and he sat right behind me and then sal (Purdue) got 1560

[simple lantern]

oh i see what you mean yeah you have a point

[meager isle]

sat is still important if u want merit aid

like i dont get anything for merit lol

[eager girder]

sat and act is dumb

[meager isle]

not even close to a cent

[eager girder]

and the sat going digital is just a example of that

[sleek cloak]

i wish i got the new sat

i feel like i would be way better

[eager girder]

desmos activated

tf

[sleek cloak]

cuz its not like long stories for reading right

[eager girder]

yeah

shorter reading

[meager isle]

imo its just not life or death like serious but it is a good way to boost yourself. treat it as a add on

[eager girder]

one math section

calculator only

[simple lantern]

why ED then 😭

[sleek cloak]

i agree with n

[eager girder]

right

[sleek cloak]

at this point its just an add on

[meager isle]

cause no school is gonna give me aid for merit

[meager isle]

anyone can study, i spent so much money to get tutored just to undershoot by way too much

[simple lantern]

assuming cause youre rich?

[meager isle]

middle middle class. no merit aid cause my scores are low and my gpa is subpar

not rich enough for no loans and not poor enough for more federal aid

[simple lantern]

man you're brave cause i would never ed with a financial situation like that. i'd be too scared of getting too much debt

[buoyant violet]

objectively thats not true

[meager isle]

i did a ton of research on admissions due to some of my friends losing hope and developing mental health issues when getting an SAT score they ddint want. i just wanted to prove to them its not life or death

[buoyant violet]

you guys are also forgetting you can break ED if you just cant pay?

[simple lantern]

oh yeah i forgot

[meager isle]

im saying like most schools wont

[buoyant violet]

most top schools wont but you gotta remember youre already in like the top 5% just by being in this discord

or what A2C is typically like

[simple lantern]

nah fr

[eager girder]

is that true though

that being in this discord is that

[simple lantern]

this is the craziest subreddit ive ever seen

[meager isle]

r/chanceme is a shit show lol, battle of the titans

[sleek cloak]

i mean tbh prob

[eager girder]

chanceme i would never put my stuff there

[sleek cloak]

everyone had way higher stats than me here

lmaooo yeah

[eager girder]

ah yes a 4.0 gpa 20 aps 1600 sat ISEF 1st place

chanceme says reject

[sleek cloak]

and theyre always say reject

lmao

[meager isle]

and then they cry after not getting into hypsm

as if everyone else that applied isnt the same

[sleek cloak]

or theyll call them out for lying

[eager girder]

correct

or MITES

or RSI

[meager isle]

its a toxic enviorment with not enough light shined on the truth

[eager girder]

Right

I feel numbers in general don’t tell the full story

Like a 4.0 in one school could be a 3.5 in another

And there’s grade inflation

[meager isle]

yeah, i go to the #1 school in my state and its crazy comp

but its a small state so its not even that impressive

[sleek cloak]

bro lives in rhode island

[meager isle]

a little more south of that

[eager girder]

For me our valedictorian has only taken 2-3 aps

[sleek cloak]

ngl i think my school has pretty high grade inflation

and i dont even have a good gpa for any school let alone mine

[eager girder]

Meanwhile a lot of have 9-12

[sleek cloak]

this is insane

[eager girder]

since we don’t have weighted gpas

[sleek cloak]

i couldnt take any freshman

ah

still

most schools prob recalculate

[eager girder]

Which I think is bullcrap but

[meager isle]

we took out class rank and val cause of competitiveness

[eager girder]

basically saying you can take easy classes and have a 4.0

[eager girder]

Class rank god I hate it

[sleek cloak]

yeah my school hot rid of class rank

thank God

[eager girder]

It’s dumb

[sleek cloak]

i think i would barely be top 25%

[eager girder]

every honor roll they say 🤓 I’m actually the top 7 is .004 apart

[meager isle]

when 25% of the grade attends a top 20 its rough out here

[sleek cloak]

lol not my school tho

[eager girder]

a lot people at my school have grades but that’s it

Not really extracurriculares

Or they lie about their extend of what they did

Which I think is ridiculous

[meager isle]

knowing the two people that got into mit and stanford from my school last year, they didnt have too many awards and ECs were just things they enjoyed lol

[eager girder]

exactly that’s how it should be

[meager isle]

the kid that had the most ECs and awards committed to dartmouth

[eager girder]

I do Robotics, Model UN and creative writing for fun

[meager isle]

so it reallt depends on the person

[eager girder]

i suppose

[stark pendant]

68%

[meager isle]

sell yourself to the school beyond academics

[stark pendant]

According to online

[meager isle]

im also semi conviced that NEU admits based on resident geographic

i havent done enough data collecting to prove a trend tho

[viscid quartz]

it’s def not

[stark pendant]

I can send pics

[viscid quartz]

yea

[stark pendant]

Idk how official

But it’s all campuses

Not just Boston

Allegedly Boston was 43%

I’m not surprised though

It’s a smart move on neu’s behalf

[viscid quartz]

bruh it’s just white

[viscid quartz]

where’s that from

def over 3400 applied ed u would think

[stark pendant]

Northeastern cc thread from this year

[viscid quartz]

neu is one of the most popular schools

[stark pendant]

Who knows

Plus

Does the ar really matter

[viscid quartz]

idk when they’ll release it officially

[stark pendant]

They might never

[sleek cloak]

yeah they prob will

[stark pendant]

But that’s what college confidential said

[viscid quartz]

they do every year i’m pre sure

[sleek cloak]

with the common data set stuff

[stark pendant]

And a lot of people seemed to believe

[viscid quartz]

also ed hasn’t finished

cause they have to do ed2

[stark pendant]

Wdym

[sleek cloak]

yeah ed isnt even done cuz of ed2

[stark pendant]

Oh that will prob bring it down

That was just the Ed 1 rate

[sleek cloak]

my guess is itll be like 25-35% acceptance rate for boston

ed

[stark pendant]

Ed1 was allegedly 43

[sleek cloak]

and then like another 5

[viscid quartz]

do u think acceptance rate is diff for international students

[sleek cloak]

for rd

[viscid quartz]

or sam

e

[sleek cloak]

idk same prob

like theyre in the same pool arent they

[stark pendant]

What I think is that they’ll have a high ed1 acceptance rate and low ed2 acceptance rate

[sleek cloak]

i dont really know

[stark pendant]

So it averages it and looks lower

Super super super low ea acceptance rate

[sleek cloak]

i think a lot of people r going to ed2 neu

[stark pendant]

Basically very few from rd

[stark pendant]

It’ll prob be low then bc it’ll make their ed rate look attainable but not easy

[sleek cloak]

that pool is definitely just way stronger

[meager isle]

Pov NEU: time to lower the acceptance rate of ED

i mean tbf they legit just deffer over 70% of EA to RD

just to reject over 80% of them in RD

not to mention the already existing RD applicants

[stark pendant]

Neu is smart asf

[meager isle]

their marketing is also really good

like whens the last time you saw a university mascott doing tiktok trends on social media

[stark pendant]

I saw cal the other day

[meager isle]

u can agree its not ordinary

[stark pendant]

Honestly I thought it was 😭

[meager isle]

most schools ofc now are gonna hop on the trend

only reason why most schools dont do it is cause they have no need to get their name out

[stark pendant]

Not shocking

My friend committed to neu last year

[meager isle]

northeastern did an exponential job at getting their name out and that year where they overaccepted showed

[stark pendant]

True my tour guide told me about that and that’s the reason I decided not to apply

[meager isle]

my school spiked at 65 applicants to NEU last year, record number.

[stark pendant]

We had 16 or so, 6 got in, no one went

[meager isle]

the average is like 30ish applicants every year

with at least 13 accepted each year

last year we had 17 acceppted with 4 enrolled

[stark pendant]

W

[crude veldt]

when is northeastern ea ??

[meager isle]

like prob mid january to feb

[meager isle]

my class only has 244 people lol

need a case study on universities

test optional is prob the best gimmick to this day. originally for kids that couldnt test cause centers were closed to now just keeping it 4 years after covid

im surprised some schools state that theyll extend it for class of 25

[stark pendant]

Private or competitive?

[meager isle]

charter school

[stark pendant]

Ah

Yeah I go to a public school that’s broke asf

[meager isle]

dw we're competitive and poor

[stark pendant]

We are poor but not competitive 😭

[meager isle]

our classrooms are in the attic of a art school

im conviced we just pay rent to stay there lol

[meager isle]

although the high school you go to will not dictate where you end up for college which is good

[stark pendant]

Oh yeah fs

We had a ton of ucs rhough

[meager isle]

are you bay area?

[stark pendant]

North bay

Not the sweaty part

[meager isle]

im on the east coast

so

i barely see any UC commits

[stark pendant]

Makes sense we had like a quarter ucs, a quarter oos, and half csus

[meager isle]

thats pretty good lol

[stark pendant]

Best year in a while

[meager isle]

i wish that west coast had like as much oppurtunites presented as the east coast

im starting to not like the cold here

[stark pendant]

Wdym

[meager isle]

ironically committing to a school where it will SNOW A LOT

[stark pendant]

We are thriving with our 40 degree weathers 😎

[stark pendant]

lol are you a ‘28

[meager isle]

like east coast has what i like to call the old money

legacy upon legacy

[stark pendant]

lol

We have a plenty of folk like that here

[meager isle]

yup

[stark pendant]

Neu Ed?

[meager isle]

yep

[stark pendant]

Why’d you Ed

Like what about neu

[meager isle]

genuinly like boston, as new york used to be the city i wanted to be in lol.
co-op / abroad ( really abroad is available everywhere)
connecting with like big industries nearby

also cause im too eager to go to college and be independent that i wanted to apply early everything to get decisions back

[stark pendant]

Ah I see

[meager isle]

by the time my friends submitted their EA i had already gotten acceptances

lol

[stark pendant]

Nice!

Yeah neu seemed cool on paper but idk the campus threw me for

Off

It seems great for some majors but not for others

What

[meager isle]

ignore that, ive just done a little too much research on the whole admissions process as a whole

[meager isle]

i would agree on that

[stark pendant]

Alright lol

[meager isle]

if you're not comfortable with like crowdedness

it is intimidating

[meager isle]

another good point

[stark pendant]

It’s not that

It’s the vibe

Idk how to explain it

The tour guide lowkey was very honest and shared all the bad parts of neu too

So I was like … if the tour guides are trash talking I don’t want to go to this school

[meager isle]

going back to co op, its really the opportunity to like gain connections in your major

[stark pendant]

Yeah I don’t think the co-op style is ideal for my major

[meager isle]

cause tbf landing a job after graduating is very improtant to some people

but co op isnt needed for jobs so its on preference really

[stark pendant]

Fs

[meager isle]

i wouldn't over hype the school more than it is lol, but I also wouldn't bash it. every school has pros and cons and if every tour guide was honest then you'd prob have an easier way of finding out where you think you fit in

[meager isle]

its also not very like emphasized that if you plan on going to grad school, then going to an undergrad with less prestiege or less ranking won't hurt you when getting a job

cause employers focus on the last place you attended

[stark pendant]

Agreed the fact that she was honest to that extent was interesting though

[stark pendant]

Yeah that’s my plan

[meager isle]

I'd say you got lucky and weren't brainwashed. dodged a bullet even

[meager isle]

smart plan lol

but really any plan works if you're happy with it

[stark pendant]

Agreed

I only sent an rd app because they sent me free stickers and they gave me a waiver

[meager isle]

nothing to lose then right

non binding and no application fee

[buoyant violet]

ED applications last year were 5872
2600 students accepted total to Boston
if you disregard breaking ED and literally all of EA and RD then the overall ED rate can be at max 44% aka collegeconfidential is 100% wrong

[light mountain]

damn ur smart

proud to be going to a school where students do this shit 💀💀

[grizzled bough]

NEU decisions came out

[stark pendant]

My friend got in Ed! She’s not binded though but she is likely going to commit : )

[tired meteor]

How not binded

[grizzled bough]

What

[native stirrup]

does anyone know anything ab the honors program? i got it today but from what i can see on reddit and the official site there arent many perks other than the scholarship and living in a separate living space

[twilit hinge]

U can be unbinded if u dont get into ur first choice

[sweet ledge]

whens the decision release date

[meager isle]

which round

[languid sluice]

EA is February and Rd is like

April?

Generally there's like 2 months between each decision

[twilit hinge]

Rd is april wtf

[languid sluice]

It would probably end up being closer to April 1st than ED was to Jan 1 because there's no holidays

But who knows

[twilit hinge]

💀

[coarse geode]

That’s real

[sweet ledge]

EA

[meager isle]

january prob

[sweet ledge]

thanks

[languid sluice]

It's "by February 1" so I'd assume late January

Still wack

They probably already have them done just release with ED wyd 😭

[stark pendant]

2nd choice campus

[meager isle]

its not a legal contract so

thats why if u say u cant pay for it

you can back out

[weak wadi]

anybody else getting an error when they try to log into their portal?

[next path]

I am!

eyoo two blues
fun

[buoyant violet]

NU has some kinda IT problem rn its not a you thing

[verbal helm]

for ea???

or ed

i can log into my portal

[weak wadi]

i think they fixed it, it wasn’t working earlier

[charred mulch]

Last year RD was on March 22

So probably around then

I don’t remember whether RD was staggered like EA

EA came out over the course of a few days

Like NUin was a few days earlier

Boston admits were January 30

[twilit hinge]

do we get a package

like a physical one

[buoyant cypress]

we better

need me a goodie bag

[twilit hinge]

I need to buy neu merch

I dont have any feel like an imposter

[buoyant cypress]

i got my hoodie but i think imma go on a shoppihg spree @ curry over the weekend

get a penant and crewneck n shit

[viscid quartz]

i have more nyu drip than i do neu

this is bad

[twilit hinge]

I have two yale sweatshirts

LMAO

[viscid quartz]

they better send me smth

[twilit hinge]

ik letter def

but previous years they said

[viscid quartz]

im not even visiting until like start of january

[buoyant cypress]

its gonna be a keychain at most

[twilit hinge]

"mail coming your way"

so who knows

if they gift a sweatshirt

im gonna be amazed

[viscid quartz]

they wouldnt no way

but they better with that tuition cost

[twilit hinge]

fr

give me that 80k shirt

[viscid quartz]

drip

[graceful helm]

I just wanna say

[buoyant cypress]

meanwhile depaul is letting me enter an airpods max giveaway just for getting accepted

[graceful helm]

I am proud of u guys

[viscid quartz]

[tulip rampart]

yo why tf northeastern emailing me a fee waiver after I applied and paid the fee

[eager girder]

no way

give me back my 70$

[hollow surge]

omgg wait i didnt get that

[twilit hinge]

we didnt get it

but like usually they tell u

so who knows

[hollow surge]

i literally expect a gift box with a hoodie, cap, and the whole NEU drip

[twilit hinge]

that would be the best gift

[west hare]

yeah i better be getting at least a hoodie out of this 😭

[twilit hinge]

Wait how do they know what size I wear

I dont think they’lls end

[buoyant violet]

unfortunately they dont send any clothing but ive got like 3 free shirts just from a semester of being on campus

[twilit hinge]

do they send anything tho

[buoyant violet]

yea they send like some cool folder and like an official acceptance letter on paper and a couple other things

[viscid quartz]

oh thats so cool

[twilit hinge]

epico

[buoyant violet]

that letter has like 50 signatures, the folder is more deocrative than functional, they give you like some yard sign too but its highkey shit

[light mountain]

my mom got offered free swag by an admissions officer and said no.

my last straw fr

[twilit hinge]

💀

[keen galleon]

whats the approximate acceptance rate for EA

[languid sluice]

Their Rd rate was 5%

So god knows

I assume they take most kids from ED

[twilit hinge]

If u do want to come here u can put in a misc letter of why u wanna attend here in the portal

[viscid quartz]

do u guys think our admitted class isn't gonna have as much of a housing crisis cause they learned from overadmitting past years

[twilit hinge]

Its gonna be still crowded a bit

But a lot less compared to last year

[viscid quartz]

yea good

[twilit hinge]

They also got a new dorm I think

[viscid quartz]

living in a triple dorm is acc ridiculous

especially for a private uni

[twilit hinge]

Also some student there said gym was being renovated so its readu when we go there

[viscid quartz]

yea hopefully

[charred mulch]

Yeah you should get a physical package at some point

As for the gym idk about the renovation part but all I know is that the gym is crowded af all the time lmao

Don’t get me wrong it’s a good gym with some nice equipment

But it’s crowded af

You’ll adjust to it tho

[twilit hinge]

Ya im ok with that I thought they adding more space

[charred mulch]

no hoodie unfortunately 😔

when ur acc there u might be able to get some free stuff tho like before convocation everyone got a tshirt

[sleek cloak]

does anyone have merit based aid yet?

like has it dropped yet

[twilit hinge]

damnnn

alr thats fine

[buoyant violet]

the gym was renovated this past summer, not sure if theyre gonna do more next summer but unlikely

[twilit hinge]

I mean I’ll take any improvement

[meager isle]

you think they gonna keep admitting less people and then rely more on ED?

[meager isle]

if the gym is too crowded, is there a priv gym somewhere nearby?

[twilit hinge]

they're gonna admit prob like 20% of ED 2, then ea about 10%

cause 50% of the class is already from ed1

[meager isle]

what you think about the coming years tho

[twilit hinge]

def rely on ed

eventualy ed will also drop

[meager isle]

yeah true

[twilit hinge]

gonna be a vanderbilt moment

[meager isle]

i’m so happy my friends are getting into their ED schools, got a bunch of penn, cmu, jhu, harvard and yales

🙀

what a day

[twilit hinge]

YALE?

DAMN CONGRATS

my friend is friends with an admission counselor and said ed for yale and rd is literally almost the same its crazy comp

but he also got into upenn : D

[meager isle]

thanks!!, so proud of all of them 😭😭😭

[meager isle]

congrats to him!!

[meager isle]

i was surprised when my friend got into yale lmao, she couldn’t believe it herself either

[twilit hinge]

she should be crazy proud, realy hard this year congrats

[meager isle]

!!!

we got 3 penn bound rn

[twilit hinge]

holy frick

[meager isle]

wonder who’s next

[twilit hinge]

we only got one

[buoyant violet]

theres one main gym, another gym that has just one floor or weight stuff and then a floor of squash rooms, a YMCA on campus, one dorm building has a gym with most basic weight stuff and cardio stuff, and theres fs private gyms around if you wanna pay

the YMCA is sometimes subsidized by NU, and the dorm building gym is only for residents of that building

[meager isle]

oh ok thank you

is there a specific like admitted students tour?

[meager isle]

🎉

[buoyant violet]

yeah i went to one (of two) and they had a lot of info and some goodies like pens and stationery but no like hoodies or anything

but just getting a lay of the land so to speak was def worth it, i only live 30 minutes away though so it was a quick trip and id reconsider that if you live farther away

[meager isle]

i live 6hrs away 😭

dyk when they release the tour date

or is it supposed to be out already

[buoyant violet]

nah def not two days after acceptance

"You and your family are invited to our Boston campus for Early Decision Welcome Days: two events in March where you will have the opportunity to connect with the College of Engineering, explore our 73 acres of award-winning green space, and have your questions answered in panel discussions and Q+A sessions.

[viscid quartz]

i hope housing isn't terrible

[buoyant cypress]

ive thought of switching from just marketing to a combined business and comm

[viscid quartz]

i dont think it will be

[buoyant cypress]

depends on ur llc

[viscid quartz]

do u know the best llc

[twilit hinge]

uhhh idk whats best llc

yea

[buoyant cypress]

not for housing sorry

my friend is in musical motifs tho and he says its a vibe there

[viscid quartz]

i want them to put me in those hotels lowkey they look vv nice

[buoyant cypress]

[twilit hinge]

Im not sure

tuna said certain schools

[viscid quartz]

im touring in january and feb prolly so well see

[twilit hinge]

have certain housing

like khour has some housing perks

but idk how that relates to llc

[buoyant cypress]

khoury is its own llc

[twilit hinge]

oh

so

[viscid quartz]

theres like llc's based on what field your in

[buoyant cypress]

colleges have their own llc but there are non-college llcs

[twilit hinge]

and then divided within?

ohhh

ok

[buoyant cypress]

ik the healthy living one usually goes near a gym

i think the college llc's have their own internal llcs too

https://housing.northeastern.edu/living-learning-communities/

yeah khoury has a khoru llc and also a women in khoury one

[viscid quartz]

lowkey choosing my llc based on which is most renovated moreso than theme

[twilit hinge]

im gonna stick with this llc for now then

so I can find people in my classes more easily

ik everyone has to take fundies

we all gonna suffer through

[buoyant cypress]

i refuse to be in a damore mckim llc even though its my college

[viscid quartz]

is it on campus for first year or second as well

[buoyant cypress]

the website has a passage ab second year

[twilit hinge]

some residential living porgran helps ig?

idk if thats needed but

we could just live in the same llc if we like it

that would be really nice

[viscid quartz]

no way new england is in MA

[viscid quartz]

hopefuly

[buoyant cypress]

ma is part of new england

new england is a region of the us

[viscid quartz]

grade 8 geo not doing me justice

[twilit hinge]

yea

new england does not exist

its just a regional

like label

[viscid quartz]

why do they have a whole ass team then

[buoyant cypress]

i refused to apply anywhere outside of new england

[viscid quartz]

bruh ivy rejections was brutal for my grade this year

we had a few nyus tho and a princeton

[buoyant cypress]

patriots r just for mass new england part is just for show ig

[twilit hinge]

patriots are not real

[viscid quartz]

a whole state for a team is crazy

[twilit hinge]

im not kidding

[viscid quartz]

nothings real

[twilit hinge]

that team is dying

💀

only thing carrying that team somehow is zeke somehow

[viscid quartz]

somehow

im not going to a pats game in my 4 years there lets be real

[buoyant cypress]

fr

[twilit hinge]

yea nothing goes on those games

offense is weak af but defense is strong where the game has no action lmao

[viscid quartz]

neu better send us to some concert or game for orientation

where that 80k goin

[buoyant cypress]

i remember '27 got some big event

[twilit hinge]

to me

[buoyant cypress]

forgot what it was but it was on their tiktok

homecoming got a concert from a boogie wit da hoodie

[viscid quartz]

omg

ye will tour

and then well go

for free

trust

[buoyant cypress]

neu waited till taylor swifts birthday to drop ed decisions their ass is not bringing us to the ye tour

eras tour film at best

[viscid quartz]

thats crazy

[twilit hinge]

when ye drop

Ineed to hear north's verse

[buoyant violet]

for convocation they took us to mgm music hall and had a bunch of student group performances and confetti and glowsticks and shit

[buoyant violet]

none that are northeastern specific that ive heard of

[buoyant violet]

as d4n said theres plenty of good food spots, el jefes is the #1 most ppl think, an average meal w/o drink is like $11
theres a wings place, two other texmex places, shawarma, a literal ton of restaurants around campus

and as a first year you would 90% of the time have classes to the right of forsyth st on that picture

[viscid quartz]

sick

[buoyant violet]

you do, options are 12, 17, unlimited
I'd recommend 12 just in general bc you it is highkey way more expensive than outside food
12 is also good for lunch and dinner 6x a week and then get breakfast some other way (i do breakfast bars) and use your $200 dining dollars to eat out 2x a week
17 is good if you want some breakfast or you wanna have extra swipes to use at the grocery store thing called outtakes, that has fruit, a whole bunch of snacks and ramen, hot food like pizza and pasta, energy drinks, soda, dunkin iced coffees and peace tea and aha water and powerade and fairlife

unlimited is a scam unless you can somehow resell the limited amount of stuff you get from outtakes for a profit

[viscid quartz]

ok yea 12 makes a lot of sense

[charred mulch]

oh nah theres a ton just go a little up huntington

[charred mulch]

yeah honestly go for 12

most ppl wont be eating more than that in the dining halls

17 if you really need it but trust me most ppl dont

and just like R said never ever go for unlimited

[viscid quartz]

yea i just think cost to amt of meals ur getting 12 is the best

from what im hearing

[charred mulch]

yeah def

the dining hall food is decently good but it does get a little old sometimes

[viscid quartz]

also meal plan can be kinda limiting i feel like

[charred mulch]

yeah

[viscid quartz]

yea exactly

wanna try new stuff

[charred mulch]

yeah frfr plus boston has so many nice places

[viscid quartz]

ive never been💀

[charred mulch]

albeit many are expensive but its nice once in a while

[viscid quartz]

i wish i could go in spring or summer for a good first impression but jan it is

[charred mulch]

theres still some more affordable places for sure

[viscid quartz]

yea hopefully

[charred mulch]

damn good luck

[viscid quartz]

"good luck"💀

[charred mulch]

nah just saying bc jan is generally the most depressing part of the year

[viscid quartz]

right

ill be optimistic fr

[charred mulch]

i mean i havent experienced neu in jan yet but i live in a place with just as shitty weather (if not worse)

[viscid quartz]

i live in toronto trust me

allg

[charred mulch]

oh ok youll be fine then 😭

see if you can go in spring/summer tho its rlly nice

although the prettiest it gets imo is in fall

the foliage goes hard

[viscid quartz]

yea def

atleast neu has an actual campus

cause BU i swear is a street

im not even a BU hater

[charred mulch]

yeah lmao bu is just a street

i visited neu and bu on the same day

ended up not applying to bu at all

[viscid quartz]

like i might visit harvard or mit or smth just cause their so close

[charred mulch]

bu is good for parties and stuff but im not a party person anyway

[viscid quartz]

same

[charred mulch]

i prefer exploring the city

which i did a lot of this sem

and if youre into that then youll get many opportunities to

[charred mulch]

oh yeah fs its worth a visit

[viscid quartz]

yea idek what to expect

[charred mulch]

youll be able to visit all the major boston schools using the mbta as well so its pretty convenient

not saying the mbta is the best metro in the world (it has a lot of problems lmao) but its better than not having one at all

[viscid quartz]

i dont wanna go during like finals or smth💀

would be so depressing

[charred mulch]

oh nah go earlier

[viscid quartz]

hopefully during the summer

im not gonna cap BC campus looks so sick

[charred mulch]

or fall tbh bc all the campuses are rlly nice in fall imo

[viscid quartz]

but it aint even in boston

[charred mulch]

yeah bc campus is amazing

[charred mulch]

yeah LMAO

[viscid quartz]

would rather go BC over BU tbh

but neu over all hence why i ed'd

lmfao

[charred mulch]

yeye makes sense

you made a good choice (totally not biased)

in all seriousness neu fit my vibe the most

its funny bc its the only boston school i ended up applying to

[buoyant violet]

tuna you got any recs im looking to go more places next sem
so far ive really only gone to north end, long wharf, TD, and the common and then like back bay newbury

[meager isle]

don’t you gotta pay the person like 5 bucks tho

to be posted

[valid verge]

is getting into NEU hard?

[grizzled bough]

Is neu that prestigious

[meager isle]

it’s competitive but also depends on your app as a whole

[twilit hinge]

Ye I’l also go with 12

[twilit hinge]

Damn alr thats ok

[buoyant cypress]

nah the main ones are free

[meager isle]

oh alright

does anyone know how long the admissions office responds to emails

cause i emailed them about a class change on my transcript

[twilit hinge]

about 5 days

doesnt need to be rushed tbh, all they gonna do is change ur srar for u

and then just like wait for ugrades to come in

[meager isle]

alright thanks

[twilit hinge]

np

it took me that long of a response so Im estimating that

[meager isle]

my guidance counsellor was like it shouldn’t be an issue but just send an email just in case

[meager isle]

all the schools i withdrew from responded to me within an hour to a day so

i was like northeastern is taking a bit

[twilit hinge]

some of those are automated lmao

for someone to actually reply to u will require a counselor

[meager isle]

oh alright

that’s makes sense lol

[charred mulch]

hmm lets see:

• seaport
• harvard square
• if you havent been up the prudential tower yet then def do that (although its kinda expensive if you didnt get to go for free during welcome week)
• quincy market (although if youve been to north end i assume youve been here too)
• the area along the river near bu/mit or charles river esplanade if ur looking to go for a walk
• chinatown
• if ur into museums theres the mfa (free admission for college students)
• maverick (rlly nice views of downtown)

[junior echo]

im in nu in cs

i dont know how to feel about it

its only a semester abroad but idk

[twilit hinge]

find people that are in same program as u

so u guys can come back together

we'll see u in spring tho : D

[buoyant violet]

tyty

[rich gulch]

I hope I get in here bruh omg

[twilit hinge]

🙏

[meager isle]

is there a lot less people in bouvè

compared to most programs

[buoyant cypress]

home field advantage

[twilit hinge]

damn u already there?

is there an orientation today or u just visiting for fun lol

[buoyant cypress]

felt like visiting

just exploring

[twilit hinge]

ooh alr

did u check out dorms

like the buildings

[buoyant cypress]

not going inside any buildings

[twilit hinge]

ye fair

[buoyant cypress]

most stuff is closed for break

[twilit hinge]

Cause I havent checked out the campus yet so was wondering how convinenet classes are to get to

[twilit hinge]

yea

[buoyant cypress]

it’s pretty easy to get to

once you know where the open areas are like curry and krentzman it’s easy to make ur way around

[twilit hinge]

alr

Imma post to that insta meet thing

Lemme see if I can meet other people hopefully

[buoyant cypress]

yeah just being open and loud about it is networking in itself

[twilit hinge]

ye my classmate just posted and suggested me to do it its easy

who runs the acc?

[buoyant cypress]

🤷‍♂️

i’ll take campus pics for y’all

[jagged mortar]

My old post isn’t loading so I don’t have what I said verbatim

But do not pay to get posted on Instagram

Do not pay to join a gc

[buoyant cypress]

yeah, i haven’t seen any pay for post ones so far

[jagged mortar]

Ik there are a few companies that monopolize the gc/admitted instagram scene

Some are free, some aren’t

They’re all scummy

One of the free ones came in here and did that thing where they advertise but pretend they aren’t associated

Like “hey guys look at this thing I found that I totally didn’t make myself”

They all make money off you either way

[buoyant cypress]

not necessarily a bad thing if we’re not losing anything

[twilit hinge]

yea imma just do this one acc

it only charges if u wanan rush to be posted

but besides that its free and quite nice to find people

[jagged mortar]

It depends on how they do it

I don’t think all making money is unethical

But there are ways that are

I think pay to post is scummy

[twilit hinge]

theres companies dedicated to do this?

[jagged mortar]

Yes

[twilit hinge]

Was hoping its more student ran

[jagged mortar]

One tried to partner with us

[twilit hinge]

ohh its those type of copmanies

ew

[jagged mortar]

Some are organic

Run by either an admit who managed to claim a handle or a previous student or even an admissions office on a rare occasion

[twilit hinge]

ye

I think one of oours is some organization

[jagged mortar]

The inorganic ones tend to have a format

[twilit hinge]

another is actually student ran

[twilit hinge]

makes sense

one of ours here just says dm so i think thats pretty legit

[buoyant cypress]

me personally i had a good experience w it

[twilit hinge]

ya urs got posted

[jagged mortar]

The main inorganic one im aware of uses a website to post

[twilit hinge]

pretty fast

[buoyant cypress]

lot of ppl reached out to me after mine

[twilit hinge]

oh thats the one me and d4n is using ig

but it didnt charge us

[jagged mortar]

That’s this one lol

That’s why I don’t really like them

[twilit hinge]

rip

[buoyant cypress]

how many pics am i allowed to post at once until it’d be better to ask ppl to dm

taking pics of every single crevice of this campus

[jagged mortar]

In this thread?

[buoyant cypress]

yeah

[jagged mortar]

I think it’s fine to send every now and then

Just send in batch

[twilit hinge]

^

[buoyant cypress]

ok

[jagged mortar]

Instead of one at a time

[twilit hinge]

discord complies it

in like a formatted way

so its easier to see

@buoyant cypress did u make ur ig public or private

I forgor how to use instagram and dont know if people can dm me

[buoyant cypress]

my ig’s always been public

[twilit hinge]

aight imma set it like that for nopw

[buoyant cypress]

new cop

[meager isle]

dyk what’s not closed

[buoyant cypress]

if i’m being real i have no idea what i’m doing or what’s closed or not

[meager isle]

is bookstore closed

[buoyant cypress]

no not rn

[meager isle]

aigh looks like i will be taking a trip there during break

[buoyant cypress]

idk how i got here but here i am

[twilit hinge]

Is that the library

[buoyant cypress]

no this some random church

this the library

[meager isle]

snell

[twilit hinge]

The holy snell

[meager isle]

can we get a look at that gym

[buoyant violet]

the inside of the gym is NU only but you can see some stuff from the atrium

[twilit hinge]

How crowded does it get

[buoyant cypress]

this all i got, the glass above is marino center
