That’s good for transportation

the entire rest of the tour was like what the fuck

[light mountain]

d4n how many starbucks do they have on or near campus

[buoyant cypress]

only one i know of so far is the one in curry student center but you can use google maps to find more prolly

[twilit hinge]

Is there a way to figure out which subway is express or not

My sis said be careful not to get on express cause it goes like direct without stop or somethin

[buoyant cypress]

🚨🚨‼️‼️ eddie posted

[junior echo]

Posted on what

[white lily]

ooh on neu student account thingy?

or not

cause for me it's coming up empty

[viscid quartz]

on neu2028meet

[meager isle]

i’m debating whether i should do that or not lol

mainly cause i wanna know who else is doing health science

[twilit hinge]

[twilit hinge]

My classmate is literally doing it too

U can do it if u want, I did find some cs people

[meager isle]

oh word

pretty rare considering majority of people do CS and business

[twilit hinge]

Nah I cant find much cs people

Except 3 so far

[languid sluice]

This is the only decision I'm rly waiting on now

Typa school has their EA date be 2 months after their ed one

[twilit hinge]

have ur other decisions come out yet?

[languid sluice]

Pretty much

1 decision I emailed them cause they misread my transcript or something idk and the other comes out early jan

[twilit hinge]

ooh ok

[meager isle]

well

most people don’t post themselves on the bio pages or it’s spread out among like diff ones

[buoyant cypress]

cs is one of the most introvereted majors

[meager isle]

^ that too

[twilit hinge]

fr

I need to find the extrovert cs majors

[buoyant cypress]

thats why i wouldnt recommend joining that llc if you wanna be social

[twilit hinge]

those are the best

[meager isle]

either really outgoing or they stay in their dorms all day

[twilit hinge]

idk what llc would be best

like some are social but have terrible dorms

[buoyant cypress]

im starting to lean more towards the musical motifs one cause i feel like creative expression llc would be too quirky

theres also like community service which i feel would have alot of nice people

[meager isle]

is LLC just clubs

[buoyant cypress]

llc's are themed housing

if im in the musical motifs llc the people living on my floor are also in it

i think llcs run their own events too

[meager isle]

ohhh

so housing isn’t random first year?

[twilit hinge]

nah I think u can choose

[buoyant cypress]

i forgot if you can make your llc random

roomates can be random if u want or u can pick

[twilit hinge]

idk I'll be willing to join the same llc as u

cause I really dont know anyone LOL

[meager isle]

is there a big building difference with each llc

[buoyant cypress]

each year the buildings assigned to each llc are different

[twilit hinge]

yea

so we dont know

[buoyant cypress]

i think only honors college and healthy living follow a pattern

[twilit hinge]

which one they're actually in its by chance

[twilit hinge]

yes

[meager isle]

that makes so much more sense

[twilit hinge]

Idk if I should choose khour

llc

like tuna said its pretty big there but that might chance

plus I dont wanna be surrounded by interoverts

[meager isle]

what’s the best way to connect with an llc beforehand

[twilit hinge]

like connect with people going there?

or just knowing which dorm

[meager isle]

yeah

people

[twilit hinge]

uhhh honestly through social media

[buoyant cypress]

for me personally im not rlly focusing on finding ppl going in a certain llc or looking for a roomate im just trying to connect w as many ppl as possible

[twilit hinge]

thats why Im gathering like a cs gc rn

[twilit hinge]

ye same

I just need a good roommate

[buoyant cypress]

my friend is a freshman and in the music one and he recommended it to me because it "has my vibe"

[meager isle]

all the people ik that currently attend are either like abroad or a whole diff major

[twilit hinge]

which one is most quirky

[buoyant cypress]

im tryna find that out

[twilit hinge]

alr

I dont mind music

cause i lived growing u pto bunch of music stuff

[buoyant cypress]

cause i feel like music is quirky in a good way but creative expression would be quirky in a bad way if its all the theater and art kids

and yeah i do theater and art but i kinda dont want my llc to be the kids that take it SUPERRR seriously

[twilit hinge]

yea same

[meager isle]

😭 i am in the complete opposite of quirky and all that

[twilit hinge]

idont want cs kids that freaking stay in the dorm all day

I wanna go around the city and find somethin gto do while also doing cs projects

[buoyant cypress]

thats why i want music cause those ppl would just be a vibe to be around and for theater and art i just join those respective clubs

need ppl to go out clubbing and partying w im not doing a sing a long to heathers in creative expression

[meager isle]

are dorm floors co ed?

[twilit hinge]

idk

[buoyant cypress]

thanks for sharing that

[twilit hinge]

[viscid quartz]

me

[meager isle]

can u dm me like ur insta

[twilit hinge]

yea same

[buoyant violet]

sometimes, stwest backside is currently
1: guys
2: everyone
3. girls
4. guys

[buoyant cypress]

what llc are you in

[buoyant violet]

engineering, and college of science is stwest frontside

COE and COS typically get bigger and better dorms like Stwest steast and speare

khoury is typicqlly white hall but its closed this year

even though they say LLCs are random there are patterns for most of them

[waxen ice]

how nice is damore mkim school of business?

i want to do investment banking but idk if i can do it from damore

[twilit hinge]

if khour is not in white hall where does it usually go

Im still leaning toward that llc but I could switch to creative

[buoyant violet]

this year its split between steast and mostly midtown, not sure if thats gonna continue in the future

[twilit hinge]

do we know what place they'll be by the time we choose or nah

[viscid quartz]

i was doing some research and ppl say IV and EV are the best dorms whatever that means

is that true or nah

completely seperate question: if im doing 2 6 month co ops at northeastern and graduate in 4 years, does that mean i only pay for 3 years?

[buoyant violet]

no

[buoyant violet]

it is true

[twilit hinge]

hm alr

[buoyant violet]

you pay for 8 or less semesters

if you know the major you are interested in, you can search up "northeastern catalog (your major) plan of study"

it'll show you sample schedules, and you might be able to skip some classes with AP/IBs

[twilit hinge]

do you think summer/spring co-op or summer/fall co-op is better

like is there some preference to one over the other or it depends

[buoyant violet]

it really doesnt matter its mostly the same

unless you have some preference for a free summer 1 or 2

[twilit hinge]

if I were to have a free preference summer 2, then summer/spring better right

[buoyant violet]

yea spring would be better but it is far too early for any of you prefrosh to be worried abt that

you also dont get to choose

[twilit hinge]

what

wat da flip

[viscid quartz]

ib bio hl ik will be transferred as a credit but sl aa im not too sure abt

ill check the website

[twilit hinge]

Im sorta confused with all the housing stuff, do we pick llc first, or like the hall we want. I know there some order set to pick but just wondering what the full process looks like

[buoyant violet]

you pick top three options for LLC and thats about it, then you can also pick a roommate later

[twilit hinge]

alr thanks

[keen veldt]

is there an admitted student event

[twilit hinge]

theres some webinars

[buoyant violet]

there will be two ED days in march in person

[keen veldt]

will there be an in-person event or is it just online

[keen veldt]

ohh gothca

gotcha

[buoyant violet]

and some general accepted events most likely in person

[keen veldt]

bet

[twilit hinge]

ig theres this too

Im prob gonna do the khoury q+a

[keen veldt]

thats just a campus visit tho

[twilit hinge]

yea

[keen veldt]

ive visited the campus before so i dont rlly need to go again

[twilit hinge]

oh student orientation im not sure

are those days the one r mentioned to be in march?>

[keen veldt]

i think so

[twilit hinge]

uhh

where do I find it

[keen veldt]

ig we just have the virtual ones for now

[twilit hinge]

yea

I think we should just enjoy senior year for now

ithink more update scome our way towards the end

[buoyant cypress]

if u did ur deposit and claimed ur acc the housing app is open now btw

[keen veldt]

i have not deposited yet

[buoyant cypress]

yeah

[keen veldt]

oh rlly?

[twilit hinge]

WHere

[buoyant cypress]

yeah its on my portal

[twilit hinge]

oh shit

I see

[buoyant cypress]

u can select llc's and roommates there

me personally imma wait a bit tho

[twilit hinge]

ye

@buoyant cypress whats preference type

it gives us community and no community

[buoyant cypress]

community

then under that u can pick llcs

[twilit hinge]

oh

what u put

[buoyant cypress]

it says on the side the instructions

[twilit hinge]

Imma put something similar to urs ig in case we see each other

oh i see

[buoyant cypress]

we got time before we submit it anyways

its due in may

[twilit hinge]

ye

whats creative expression like

[buoyant cypress]

idk my contact didnt get back to me

ill ask

[twilit hinge]

alr

Imma put it in but lemme know

[buoyant cypress]

my top is musical motif rn actually

2nd choice is creative

[twilit hinge]

mine is khoury cs

cause its literally for my major lmao

I put creative as 2nd

imma do musicp rob as 3rd

orrr healthy living

[buoyant violet]

no the ED days are special and you get an email in feb about it

[twilit hinge]

is it virtual or in-person?

[buoyant violet]

in person

they have a presentation and college specific things im pretty sure

[twilit hinge]

Oki I'll prob talk to my parents to try atending it

since white hall i sclosed this year, where are the students moved btw?

[buoyant violet]

midtown and steast

[twilit hinge]

Ooh ok

[twilit hinge]

Ok im debating between music llc and khoury now

[sleek cloak]

how do i activate my neu email?

i activated my account to the student hub thing but idk how to access the @northeastern.edu email

[meager isle]

anyone know

how long it takes to get stuff

after paying the enrollment fee

is student hub only for enrolled people?

or is there something else

[junior echo]

huh

[twilit hinge]

wut

[junior echo]

whats music llc

[twilit hinge]

theres different learning commons

music llc is for those that just likes to hangout and listen to music or have music interest

just different common interest themed

like khoury is for cs

[junior echo]

what is a learning commen

[twilit hinge]

learning common is for people to live in a dorm with similar interest

I think ur nuin tho so when u come back it might be different

[twilit hinge]

24-48hr

I already got a lot of stuff almost down

only thing now im waiting is housing choice, which Im waiting on d4n to give some updates

[meager isle]

i just did the whole studrnt hub thing

[junior echo]

yeh but second year its the same

[twilit hinge]

yea

second year housing changes

[meager isle]

but student hub doesnt mean that we're officially in right?

[twilit hinge]

llc is I think only first year

but u usually find ur friend group through first year most of the time

[twilit hinge]

not officially just keep ur grades up high school lol as usual

but that will be ut future student hub for classes and everything

[meager isle]

oh ok

what about housing

do i gotta wait for an email abt that

[twilit hinge]

its under your application portal

housing is due by may so u have plenty of time to sign up

im just rn still figuring out how to pioritize my ranking for llc and finding roomate potentialy without doing random

[meager isle]

i see

it wants me to provide a parents email lol

[twilit hinge]

yea

and then ur parent copies a code and verifies

u choose ur top 3 llc

and ur roommate preference if ur gonna find random

and then ur set

[meager isle]

**First year students: This application is not available until 1-2 business days after your enrollment deposit has been received. **

oh nah

i just submitted deposit like 20 min ago lol

[twilit hinge]

did u deposit

oh ok

dont worry just come back later

[meager isle]

tmrs the last day of school for me before break lol, thats why i waited till today to do it

[twilit hinge]

btw they apparently they set student piorities based on when they deposit enrollment lmao

[twilit hinge]

ye fair

but it shouldnt impact much if u enrolled now vs a couple days ago

[meager isle]

like 1.4-1.5k ED kids admitted, doubt all of them have enrolled

[twilit hinge]

yea

My ranking for now ig llc is Khoury, Music, Creative or Healthy

gonna wait on what d4n or others may have for updates on these llcs for next fall

[meager isle]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/916137338139189248/1186521662645084160/image.png?ex=65938d68&is=65811868&hm=171aa52b81fbcbbde1122f1377144f1a8269201ef7cd315902d67bc6b7a4c20d&

i just gotta check the left box right

once its availabe

[twilit hinge]

u might want to dm this

I cant see lmao

wait nvm

Yea top left

and also fill out bottom left housing licensce agreement

[meager isle]

okay thanks

[viscid quartz]

is that in reference to the entire student body including RD or ED in specific

[buoyant violet]

they're referring to housing order and that refers to entire student body

you ED people get to have the first housing priority

[junior echo]

Yeh

For nu in kids the earlier you commit the higher chance you get on campus housing first year

[buoyant violet]

i think youre guaranteed first year housing no matter what?

[viscid quartz]

clutch

yes i’m pre sure u have to live on campus first year or two

[cyan pond]

can i apply to mech eng & design [combined major] with no art class (my art was theater tech)? commonapp is about physics and choir, design exp=robotics captain

a friend said not to because design is art-based, what do you guys think? tysm

[twilit hinge]

I think, just the order people are assigned according to the application are based on when we submit our deposit

So ye ed def gets piority

[buoyant violet]

they dont admit by major so your main focus should be a cohesive application, you can always just apply for mech and then once youre accepted switch to mech + design (its really easy)

[cyan pond]

oh got it tysm! so would mech def be better given a stem-based app?

[buoyant violet]

it would be more cohesive but northeastern says it doesnt admit based on major so not entirely sure if it even matters

[cyan pond]

oh got it ty! i think i'll do that then, without supps it's hard to fit into another category/combined major

mech+phys would be cool, would it show i care abt NEU to apply to a combined major?

seeing as RD acceptance rate is SO low, even if they dont admit by major

[buoyant violet]

you can try, its ultimately up to NU admissions on whether they care or not; you can always switch super easily so you might as well apply to a combined major

[twilit hinge]

@buoyant cypress did u see that person post his minecraft on the neumeet insta LMAO

[buoyant cypress]

yeah it was crazy

i respect the vision

he not a sheep following the pack he just a loser i love it

[twilit hinge]

This cs class boutta be so wack

Praying my friend who got rejected from duke gets in

[buoyant cypress]

i’ve talked to a few cs ppl they’re chill

[twilit hinge]

ye I only have 3 so far I know

theres like no cs people ive seen posting on insta which I think kinda expected cause they prob scared 💀

One of them I know kinda coicedentaly cause he goes to my school sport games

[viscid quartz]

ima break that streak🙏 gimme time

cs and bio but u know

[meager isle]

wym bro

i liked his selfie

[meager isle]

tbf tho, most people def own an account for some game

[meager isle]

takes like 2 days for them to verify ur letter lol

u will prob see mine

soon

[twilit hinge]

its so random I like it lmao

[meager isle]

no netherite tho

[twilit hinge]

diamond tho at least

he built that fort

[meager isle]

i wish i lived somehwat near MA lol

i may just have to bring a laptop

instead of my pc

[kind kernel]

when did ea decisions come out last year

[twilit hinge]

im debating to bring my pc or not

laptop for sure

but pc idk if I need it or not

[twilit hinge]

around february

[west hare]

lmk what u decide and why im still debating on this

i think my shit is outdated enough it might be worth it to just sell my current pc and build a new one in boston

[viscid quartz]

depends on dorm situation tbh

[buoyant violet]

bruh the CS kids are mostly not like the stereotypes
like imagine one of those stereotypes and then consider if they could get into northeastern, prolly not albeit there are a couple loners and or atypical people

[meager isle]

depending on your room situation imo

lol

you may get a heatstroke if u got like 2 pcs running at the same time with no windows open

[charred mulch]

real

[twilit hinge]

Yea sorry I didnt mean to offend anyone

Was just hoping I could find more people aligned with my major but I think Im too focused on that

I heard from past students it is fun over there just gotta be patient

[twilit hinge]

Ig

I’ll prob wait off first semester to see how my room works out before bringing it

[meager isle]

yeah since like every building/room is different

[viscid quartz]

can you qualify for merit scholarships based on your final high school grades or do u have to apply for external scholarships

[meager isle]

i’m wondering the same thing lol

[twilit hinge]

If we can I gotta cook rest of the year 🙏

[buoyant violet]

you can qualify for merit scholarships from your HS grades, i got a $5k per semester or $10k per year dean's scholarship

was probably within the top 10ish of my class, they didnt do class rank but class decile and my class was small enough that i knew the order of everyone else in decile one

[viscid quartz]

what ib score would get a scholarship approx

[buoyant violet]

absolutely no clue but for reference i had 8 fives on APs and one four

and 1530 SAT

[mint nest]

when does ea come out bri

[buoyant violet]

probably early february

[empty wing]

I updated my srar

You think they will see it?

I applied ea

And normally they don’t look at fall senior grades

[buoyant violet]

not a question anyone here can answer

[meager isle]

ask ur counsellor

[meager isle]

pretty sure they look at first quarter grades of senior year

[languid sluice]

It says by Feb 1

So most likely late jan

[twilit hinge]

@meager isle posted yuhhh

[meager isle]

🥳 surprise

why instagram gotta make everything 480p tho 💀

[twilit hinge]

Dont know it be like twitter

[twilit hinge]

@charred mulch will there be classes on using git, or we’re responsible for knowing how to use the commands like git commit etc.

[charred mulch]

in first year they make you take this first year seminar class where they touch on it a bit

although it does help if you know it bc idt they cover commands like that

[twilit hinge]

Oki thanks

I heard some unis perfer use of commands but I been using git desktop more cause of the interface

[fringe abyss]

hey are incoming freshmen able to pick roommates at some point? or is that only an option in later semesters?

[buoyant violet]

you get to pick but in a couple months

[west hare]

i haven’t been able to find information on this but maybe i’m not looking in the right place - is it possible to have a single in fall semester and then switch to a double? someone i know got accepted to nu in and might attend boston campus in spring and i want to try and dorm with them

[buoyant violet]

super unlikely to get a single unless you can get documentation approved with the disability resource center and or some extraordinary reason why you should

[viscid quartz]

is there like a list of classifying disabilities or is it dependant upon each person

[buoyant violet]

I don't know myself, you can research on their site: https://drc.sites.northeastern.edu/

[fringe abyss]

are there a lot of traditional exams in most courses or is it mostly project based?

i mean it probably varies by subject but i'm assuming cs courses are a lot of projects while math courses are more traditional

[buoyant violet]

its a mix of both, really depends on the class though

math definitely leans toward traditional exams whereas my engineering combined class had an exhaustive project (340 workhours between 4 people, over 8 weeks)

[flat bloom]

hum

theres no writing prompts right?

also can you not just major in CS, do you have to do like CS and BLANK

im not sure what this whole thing is asking

[buoyant violet]

no writing prompts

[buoyant violet]

you can do just CS

[buoyant violet]

what option would you like? aka if you select somewhere other than boston they have lower standards and therefore a higher chance of acceptance but it also means a nonideal education

[flat bloom]

so in other words, i should idealy select first one, boston

[flat bloom]

and i did not see just computer science, these are the available options

[buoyant violet]

yes

[flat bloom]

wahts best for CS as second option

[buoyant violet]

can i dm you a ss

[flat bloom]

yes please

[buoyant violet]

its your preference 🤷‍♂️

[flat bloom]

for the upload resume part, should mine be solely a college admissions resume?

[buoyant violet]

🤷‍♂️

[flat bloom]

my resume has alot of repeated info that i already have in my common app

[tired meteor]

@buoyant violet are you at northwestern or northeastern lol cuz nu is northwestern

[buoyant violet]

NU is northeastern too but you couldve also just thought about your question

[stiff iron]

no supps lfg

[cyan pond]

afaik - not job-related, but it should have everything in one page or so

i'm happy to share a cropped version of mine in dms, i'm still a senior though (not accepted anywhere yet)

[flat bloom]

yes

[twilit hinge]

I did upload a resume, but if there are a lot of repeats, and no new info ,I wouldn't suggest

and yes what jj said, it should be one page

resumes are just for you to highlight specific activities/honors that you had not mentioned, or did mention but have important details to expand upon

that's how most people see that resume upload opportunity as

[buoyant cypress]

lol my resume was four pages

some of my activities in my commonapp were a little vague so i used the resume as a way to really dive deep into what they actually were and add in some smaller but still important roles

[twilit hinge]

four pages? holy frick LMAO

[buoyant cypress]

it worked so

[twilit hinge]

I prob still recommend 1

ao dont got that much time

[cyan pond]

esp in rd^^

[languid sluice]

Mfw I realize my srar didn't have

My 11th grade year

At all

[buoyant violet]

my intro to college/engineering class really emphasized having one page especially as a high schooler, they said only people with postdoctorate degrees would actually have enough content for more than one page

[twilit hinge]

Ye I saw that in a lot of yt vids too, best to keep it short

Also merry christmas guys

[meager isle]

merry christmas!!

[tall hare]

Is it bad I’m applying RD

[buoyant violet]

not bad by any means

[languid sluice]

Definitely far more comp than their early rounds

But yk

Never hurts

[stiff iron]

im dumb i didn't apply ea

no supps

[meager isle]

nah i think RD is better than EA

but ofc ED 1 and 2 for the best chance

[languid sluice]

no way is the ea rate lower than like 6%

Their RD rate a year/2 years ago was 5

And I'm assuming it didn't change much

[meager isle]

are we talking overall (so all campuses plus boston) or just boston

[languid sluice]

Pretty sure it was just Boston

[meager isle]

considering there is def 100k+ apps this year

it may be possible for it to go down as they can just accept majority ED kids

anyways they defer majority of kids from EA to RD

[languid sluice]

Defer seems so dumb

Their EA is already in February

They're gonna defer to have to go through all of them again in like a month 💀

[meager isle]

https://talk.collegeconfidential.com/t/northeastern-early-action-early-decision-for-fall-2024-admission/3644735/348

^ED1

[meager isle]

they defer to reject lol

it’s super random

[languid sluice]

Only 3400 for ed

Seems low

[meager isle]

they aim to bring 2,600 to boston and a couple hundred (200-300) to oakland and london

so their freshman enrollment should be 2,600

if 1,470+ get admitted to boston via ED and they all commit then

you have approx 1140 spods to fill in boston

[meager isle]

theres also ED2 which hasnt came out

lets say 800+ get admitted Ed2

then ur left with like approx 330 spots in boston

EA and RD have to fight for those 330 spots lol

[simple lantern]

um

The way I got in EA in January

this used to be my dream school but thank God I didn’t ED☠️☠️

[stark pendant]

Idk why I applied to this school

[twilit hinge]

dont ask just apply and see what happens : D

[stiff iron]

I would’ve applied if I knew no essays tbh

[meager isle]

the school be eating up that application fee

[meager isle]

it makes it a little more random without requiring any supps

[stiff iron]

Personal statement tho

[meager isle]

it just means it’ll take less time for them to decide lol

@twilit hinge dyk if anyone’s gotten their acceptance package yet?

[twilit hinge]

nope

was about to ask u too

[stiff iron]

Yeah idc, my stats and ECs r good

[meager isle]

i can ask around, but i feel like they’d come a lot later

[twilit hinge]

prob

[meager isle]

i doubt they sent packages before they went on break

so it’ll be like almost another month lol

[twilit hinge]

would be nice if we do as a christmas gift

[meager isle]

fr, i’m visiting campus this week

so

gonna get myself some stuff

[twilit hinge]

Ooh imma visit there when the ed visit day comes out

[meager isle]

just gotta play it smart lol. as long as you meet the common data set and the expected class creds in highschool

[twilit hinge]

lemme know if theres anything special there

[meager isle]

people been telling me admitted students tour is in spring

[twilit hinge]

yea

waiting on that

[meager isle]

i just know everything closed but the bookstore 😔

[twilit hinge]

i mean u could go get merch at least

why not visit like next week or later so at least some places are open

[meager isle]

that was my plan

[meager isle]

school

i can’t miss class

[twilit hinge]

oh

good point

[meager isle]

my school is super strict this year

[twilit hinge]

how

[stark pendant]

No like I don’t even want to go here

Neu isn’t my vibe

[burnt escarp]

If u get in u might take a spot from someone who wanted to go

[meager isle]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/916137338139189248/1189094932481331270/image0.jpg?ex=659ce9f4&is=658a74f4&hm=0c6fa6f3eb0bcfbc37b8e7cf5c9d2aa1b19984c903a76ae8c44f8e5fcc803b5c&

this button always exists

[burnt escarp]

Dont you have to do it before tho

[meager isle]

you can withdraw an application anytime

unless ur like ED 1 or 2

[burnt escarp]

Whats the point of withdrawing after results

Dont the others still get rejected

[meager isle]

well if ur withdrawing for ED 2 or RD then no

[tired meteor]

my resume was heavily packed but 2 pages

[meager isle]

if u do withdraw after results you’ll just be letting the waitlist kids in

[burnt escarp]

Yeah true

[meager isle]

🙀 damn

i didn’t even bother submitting a resume 💀

[burnt escarp]

I have one but it only has 3-4 activites i havent mentioned so idk

[meager isle]

there’s also like over 96k applicants so i don’t think withdrawing before or after would make a huge deal

unless the person was differed from ED

[meager isle]

what round are you applying

[burnt escarp]

true not really, doing it before might secure someone’s spot but even if u do it after u are letting people in

[burnt escarp]

Rd

[meager isle]

the whole admissions process is super random

anything can happen 😭

even fake acceptance letters

[burnt escarp]

Yeah thats why im doing to 17 schools

[meager isle]

goodluck!!

hopefully u get boston campus

[burnt escarp]

Thanks :)

[meager isle]

which schools?

[burnt escarp]

I have a bunch from boston , like 8 including Uc’s in california and then a couple of safeties in northeast and some ultra reaches like upenn

But im business major so i couldn’t even do to that many ivies most of them just have econ

[meager isle]

any EDs?

[burnt escarp]

No but i should’ve Ed’d to upenn, i just Ea’d 2 schools

[meager isle]

Ed2 is always an option although ur choices r really limited to the boston schools

[burnt escarp]

It was just tough in early september and october cause im doing IB so i just couldn’t find time

[meager isle]

i see i see

[burnt escarp]

I’ll see if i can ED2 something but yeah its limited rn

[meager isle]

but yeah after next week it’s a waiting game for everyone

idk how yall can wait that long 😭😭

[meager isle]

off the top of my head ik like BU, Tufts, Northeastern

[burnt escarp]

Im getting my first school usc mid january so that should be… great

[meager isle]

ur gonna get into at least a few schools so dw

[burnt escarp]

Yeah just hoping to get in a school other than my safeties and ill be happy

Im also intl so keeping expectations low

[meager isle]

don’t some schools consider intl as domestic tho?

[burnt escarp]

Oh damn i hope so but i haven’t really searched that

Its not like im canada or mexico tho

[meager isle]

ik but some schools just don’t like differentiate between domestic and intl

like harvard

[stark pendant]

Wl exists ig

[stark pendant]

Yeah but at the same time why reduce my options

[stark pendant]

Most people don’t really have a choice + financial/other concerns w ED + some people like to be able to choose their college

[stark pendant]

Crazily enough I had a dream last night I got in ea 😭

[stiff iron]

is there ED2 here

[twilit hinge]

But like ig if this is like some backup then keeping it in would make sense

Yes

[stiff iron]

lemme check

whatt

I'm applying

nah idk

tbh

[twilit hinge]

Dont apply just cause no supps, just check if there are programs u like

[stiff iron]

im going CS

and uh

yeah i'll do regular

[twilit hinge]

Oh yea then u should cs is strong here

[stiff iron]

eddie, can u believe i still didn't finish any cornell

supp

so hard

[twilit hinge]

💀

[stiff iron]

i might drop cornell

[twilit hinge]

I still have an unused cornell supp

The 650 worss

Dont if u already half finished

[stiff iron]

idk man

everything

is fine

but nothing connected to cornell

in my essays

tbh

eddie, u ED1'd Northeastern?

[twilit hinge]

Ye

[stiff iron]

u got in?

[twilit hinge]

I always liked Boston

Mhm

This school was like the only decent shot I got at considering my stats and cs major is compeitive af

[stiff iron]

😭

im so tired

where did u end up committing

i wish cornell extends their deadlines

[twilit hinge]

Here

[stiff iron]

oh u got in

[twilit hinge]

I was gonna originally ed cornell

Yes

[stiff iron]

CONGRATS

[twilit hinge]

Ty!

But like I felt its better to not risk too much and go for a target thats still good

[stiff iron]

Northeastern cs defo better than purdue CS

[twilit hinge]

Nah 💀

[stiff iron]

what

fr?

[twilit hinge]

Yea purdue cs is better

[stiff iron]

but its harder to get into NE

I'd assume

[twilit hinge]

But I perfer neu cs classes

Its smaller and also a lot of other universities adopted from neu

[stiff iron]

duke supps going well so far

[twilit hinge]

But purdue is reputable for having stronger cs

[stiff iron]

yeah

I might drop cornell today

i honestly should tbh

[twilit hinge]

If u got the time to finish the app dont

If u dont got time plus ur supps u think are weak then ig drop

[stiff iron]

I'll just apply to Yale, Duke, UPenn for reaches. Cornell was my dream tho 🤣

and 4 reaches is stretching it tbh

unless cornell extended deadlines

like last year

[twilit hinge]

Aight gl

[stiff iron]

thanks

I'll defo rd neu

lol

[twilit hinge]

Aight its gonna be competitive af but hopefully u get in

[stiff iron]

thanksss

i hope if i can email purdue to switch from fye to comp sci

but its not possible

😭

[simple frigate]

Do we still not have a date for norrheastern yet?

[meager isle]

that’s why you EA

i had like 5 EA schools come out before northeastern lol

also that free ED application i couldn’t pass up on 😭

[meager isle]

northeastern like never gives an exact date

but you can guess based on release dates from past years

although they were late with ED1 this year so i’ll guess it could be delayed for all the other rounds

[twilit hinge]

purdue comp sci is very difficult to switch into

usually they fill up most of the seats for cs in ea, then the remaining rd must be really top of their application pile to get into the few remaining cs seats

[buoyant violet]

i know a girl that was accused of chasing a boy to purdue after they got off the CS waitlist last minute and it was a better option than their earlier commitment 😭

[stiff iron]

HUH

[stark pendant]

They defer most people ea to lower their rd acceptance rate lol

[stiff iron]

ruby

u applyin to duke?

[stark pendant]

Alr did

[stiff iron]

nicee

[stark pendant]

Wbu

[stiff iron]

im writing my supps now 😭

its the only reach im applying to + upenn

rest is targets

[meager isle]

ea to other schools ofc

EA and RD NEU is just a gamble lol

[stark pendant]

A lot of ea schools don’t come out till late Jan/early feb

[meager isle]

did u apply all priv

[stark pendant]

And atp it’s just 1 more month for submitting 2 months or so early

[meager isle]

for EA

[stark pendant]

Nice!

[stark pendant]

That’s very nice

[stark pendant]

1 rea, 1 priv, 2 publics for ea

Lowkey feeling scammed w ea

[stiff iron]

how many reaches u doing ruby

[meager isle]

which publics?

[stark pendant]

Umass and Rutgers

[meager isle]

oh yeah ik rutgers comes out late

[stiff iron]

r u gonna apply to harvard

ruby

[meager isle]

imo i feel like rea is a scam lol

[stark pendant]

Unfortunately

[stiff iron]

I had a dream i got into harvard when I never bothered applying to this school

💀

[stark pendant]

I think ea is more of one

[meager isle]

rea u basically turn it into ED

[stark pendant]

Except you’re not bound

[stiff iron]

i wish if i REA'd stany tbh

nah

idk

[stark pendant]

I’m glad I did but also somewhat sad

[meager isle]

but then you gotta hold off on every ea

[stark pendant]

No lol

I still did ea’s to every school in my original list

[stiff iron]

my dream is to attend purdue for undergrad

stany for grad school

lets see if it happens

[stark pendant]

I’m sure you can do it!

[simple lantern]

shoot

i dont need northeastern doing a Tulane on me

[stiff iron]

hope so! decisions still in like 20 days idk

im applying here just because no supps

[stark pendant]

Northeastern and Tulane are lowkey the same in terms of their methods

[stiff iron]

ruby u defo applied here ye?

everyone should lmao

[simple lantern]

i actually got into tulane cause i demonstrated interest but idek how to demonstrate interest to northeasternt

[stark pendant]

W

[stiff iron]

its such a free app

[simple lantern]

they said literally nothing about demonstrated interest

[stark pendant]

Yeah bc they sent me stickers and a few waiver

[simple lantern]

unlike Tulane where they said how important engagement was

[stark pendant]

Congrats!! You should go to seminars and stuff online

[meager isle]

the only way is to ED lol. people say tours and stuff but its not true

[stark pendant]

Not true

[meager isle]

but dem interest isnt a make or break

[stark pendant]

^ but you can demonstrate interests in a lot of ways

What I do for my demonstrated interest schools is go to every online seminar I can

Some schools seriously track

[meager isle]

at most is tours,putting urself on their email list, and highschool college fair

[simple lantern]

tbh i dont even like northeastern that mcuh

much

[stark pendant]

Like Duke sent an email once when I missed an event I signed up for and I was like oh dang

[stark pendant]

And going to online events is a big one

[stark pendant]

Who does tbh

[simple lantern]

theyre OKAY

i see why they do the admission tactics though

[meager isle]

its only one holistic factor, cause u may not even get into boston. cause they also have NUin and global scholars

[stark pendant]

It gives me the ick tbh

[meager isle]

marketing

every school is a business, its for the revenue

[simple lantern]

i dislike Tulane's admission tactics but i love the school and im seriously considering committing

cause theyll meet all my demonstrated need without loans

a good day to not be rich

[stark pendant]

That’s great!! You should wait for rd schools (if you want) but it’s a great school, my cousin’s friend loves it there

[stark pendant]

That’s really nice

[simple lantern]

i dont think im gonna worry about RD anywhere tbh. tulane and northeastern are like my only reaches

and NO these schools are not target schools idk why people think that

[stark pendant]

Tbh I think neu cares a lot about gaining prestige as well didn’t they market themselves as a new Ivy or something

[stark pendant]

They’re not

[simple lantern]

a target school would be like TCU or UMiami

[stark pendant]

That’s great!

[meager isle]

that may have been from a student newsletter but yk the higher u are on like USNews the more people will be inclined to apply

[simple lantern]

whats the deal with RD anyway?

[meager isle]

more prestige more applicants more money

[simple lantern]

isnt it just lower acceptance rates?

im so glad i didnt get deferred from tulane 💀 💀 💀 1% acceptance rate is insane

[stark pendant]

For neu?

[stark pendant]

They give fee waivers to so many people though

[simple lantern]

for every school tbh

[stark pendant]

Like an incredible amount

Even those who don’t demonstrate need

[meager isle]

cause people are typically qualified and meet standards, the school just doesnt have enough space so you either get into a satelite campus or get waitlisted/rejected

[stark pendant]

Most schools have more applicants and weaker pool -> lower acceptance rate

[meager isle]

yeah thats what happend to me lol, cause ED + applying for fin aid

[stark pendant]

My friend and I got one and idt I’ll even get finaid so idk why they gave me one

[simple lantern]

so what do you do once you commit?

how do you get like roomates and stuff?

do you have to go on those like "northeastern 2028" instagram pages and do stuff?

[meager isle]

well i got my housing portal after depositing

[meager isle]

i mean it helps a lot when connecting to people

ive dmed a few

and a few have dmed me

but rn its just ED kids so, i can still wait yk

for the 3 other rounds to come out

[simple lantern]

oh i see

they have like discord servers and stuff?

[meager isle]

i dont think so

ive been on instagram

really

just following and DMing people

[simple lantern]

what do you even talk about with them?

im kinda considering doing that but idk

[meager isle]

mostly been LF people doing the same major but its difficult cause my major has like the least people

2nd smallest amount of people

[simple lantern]

dunno what LF means lol

like follow?

[meager isle]

getting to know them really and like figuring out what kind of lifestyle they are (ofc this only applies to like people im considering rooming with)

[meager isle]

Looking for

[simple lantern]

oh okay i see that does sound pretty smart

i just hope i dont get a gamer roomate tbh

[meager isle]

i just wanna make new friends really, is it too early now? maybe?? but ykw its worth a shot

who knows, i may see them during like the tours/orientation

then i might not be alone during lunch 💀

[simple lantern]

i think im gonna wait till like i actually go to the school before doing that stuff idk

whats wrong with being alone though?

[meager isle]

yeah, decide where you wanna go first

once u commit then do the other stuff

[meager isle]

i have no siblings lol, im always alone at my house. its nice having company sometimes

[simple lantern]

oh I see yeah

[simple lantern]

besides meeting people/finding dormmates is there any other reason to go on those insta pages?

my main problem would be roomates and NOT getting someone who keeps everyone up all night yk?

[meager isle]

not really, ur gonna meet people in class and during oritentation week anyways

[simple lantern]

understood, thanks

also is northeastern like not a stressful school?

[meager isle]

thats where the insta page comes in handy yeah

just ask them when they sleep or expect to sleep

and thatll tell u how they live

[simple lantern]

oh and did you have to pay to do like an intro page?

[meager isle]

def not "ivy" level stresssful but def not like public school party easy

i wanna guess in the middle

[simple lantern]

understood

ok i like schools like that

i think northeastern's dual major programs are cool

[meager isle]

imo the ones that require money are a scam, i just did only one page that was free

[simple lantern]

okay i was confused on why i had to pay 7 bucks for some of them

[meager isle]

its in a nice city asw with a lot of known schools near it so ur bound to become friends with people out of school and have similar interests

[meager isle]

💀 that money goes to prob like a student or something

its a smart hussle tho

[simple lantern]

gonna go make a meetyourclass rn

[simple lantern]

oh yeah right by MIT and Harvard right?

it does sound like a smart hussle though lol

[meager isle]

😂 if you can run like 10 of them and charge like 5 per post then ur making like 5 grand from posting 100 on each account

[meager isle]

MIT harvard BU BC Tufts

but tufts and BC are the farthest

so most likely harvard MIT BU

[simple lantern]

honestly ima probably avoid the north, i like staying in the south

literally when does northeastern EA decisions come out

january 15?

[meager isle]

mid Jan

idk when it’s been released in the past

but expect it to be somewhat delayed

they delayed like ED for a week

[meager isle]

south also has good schools

there’s good schools everywhere really

[buoyant violet]

all the top schools are in the northeast or cali though

except maybe like rice vandy and maybe a couple great lakes states

and excluding lacs

[simple lantern]

oh man thats so long

[simple lantern]

im prob gonna go to Tulane tbh

[meager isle]

not a bad choice

up to u

whichever u feel u will fit the best at

[meager isle]

some public wonders

UVA, UNC, Gtech, UF

[stark pendant]

Duke, Emory, Tulane, UT, etc

[simple lantern]

i live an hour away from New Orleans, I can double major there, and the food there is amazing

[meager isle]

sounds like tulane is a good fit for u

[buoyant violet]

what about the other top 40 colleges

[languid sluice]

Tulane Rd might as well be an ivy in terms of difficulty getting in

[twilit hinge]

Well if he gets in then it’ll he’ll know where to go

If not i bet he has other great options to go to

[meager isle]

he said he already got into tulane

[languid sluice]

Ohh

[simple lantern]

i already got in EA

if i got deferred i would've just withdrawn my application tbh i wouldnt even try to test my chances in RD

kinda waiting on northeastern to see if i got in or not though

[twilit hinge]

ooh ok

[junior echo]

Guys

Schools need to start teaching classes on shit that matters

Rizz 101

Taxes 101

You feel me

[simple lantern]

you may be joking but i seriously think some prestigious private school is gonna make a class like that

[meager isle]

psychology and econ

[twilit hinge]

taylor swift class exists so why not rizz

[white bloom]

when is the deadline for the submission of mid year report?

Also is a mid year report required in Early Action? Like the portal dosen't show any checklist that I have to submit

[twilit hinge]

Mid year report is sent only for tegular

If u do have a mid year report tho by jan, u can ask ur counselor to send and it will update in the portal automatically

[white bloom]

this applied to every uni right?

[twilit hinge]

And then also update ur srar

[twilit hinge]

No

Cause neu ea is quite late u can send ur mid year lmao

[white bloom]

lol

[twilit hinge]

But most uni ea doesnt consider mid year

So i wont be surprised if u send mid year to neu as ea and they dont consider it

Its usually rd

[white bloom]

so I need to check from their respective websites

thanks!

[twilit hinge]

Yes

[meager isle]

@twilit hinge ik everyone got the digital admitted students guide

is this jsut the digital version of the irl one we haven’t got yet

my parents kinda hyped to go there 💀

[junior echo]

What even is china town

Why did all the Chinese people decide to live there

[languid sluice]

Immigration and they wanted a place to be yk

Culturally with their people

[meager isle]

like little italy

[burnt escarp]

https://tenor.com/view/shocked-surprised-amazed-amazing-shook-gif-16076916

[twilit hinge]

our dorms is like outside in this seperate street

those were prob west village

[meager isle]

[meager isle]

[meager isle]

yeah i walked from there to ell hall

i was walking all over the place

[twilit hinge]

[meager isle]

yeah, in the tunnels there’s maps

and there’s like maps at centennial asw

so

[twilit hinge]

ye
