Northeastern University (2023-2024)

[twilit hinge]

the dorm closest there is west village I think according to the map

most around are just like halls

[meager isle]

oh is that the buildings next to centennial

[twilit hinge]

nah

[meager isle]

west village

[twilit hinge]

its a lil out more

the buildings surrounded are like bouve and other educational halls

[meager isle]

where would we be placed there

[twilit hinge]

above

like on hemenway st

thats where freshmen at

only exception is east village which is the one u passed by

[meager isle]

that’s far from bouve 😭😭😭

[twilit hinge]

nahh thats not bad

just do a lil jog

khoury is nearer for me

but not by that much

[meager isle]

bouve the left side of shillman right?

[twilit hinge]

uhh lemme check

sort of

its like little more left

bouve is in health informatics program

[meager isle]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/916137338139189248/1190416465619325018/image0.jpg?ex=65a1b8ba&is=658f43ba&hm=205daf1e74f80d723852cdaee7b0f9b818ced21f4ec7a33b9eb238c8f0faf39e&

and the left of that is west village?

[twilit hinge]

ye

we get that second year I think

[meager isle]

i see i see

i have a friend in east village rn

if i’m not wrong that’s the honors housing? @twilit hinge

[twilit hinge]

that is honors

[meager isle]

how hard is it to get into the honors college

[twilit hinge]

tbh idk

its part of honors program they usualy give it to u on acceptance

I dont think u can trasnfer in, but this Im not sure

[meager isle]

u didn’t get in either right?

[twilit hinge]

nope

u need like high ass stats

like 1500+ min and other

stuff

ig

just based on what ive seen from previous year honors acceptance stats range around there

[meager isle]

😭😭😭

super selective

[twilit hinge]

yea but is ok

the perk of us is we close to each other, like the dorm buildings

east village just alone out there

but ig they do got bigger rooms

[meager isle]

true

hoping for the best

[buoyant violet]

pros of honors:
the title on your degree
AC rooms for early fall semester
cool dorm building
suites and no floor-shared bathrooms
cons of honors:
having to walk far to get to either dining hall (really sucks when its snowing/raining)
having extra/harder classes
likely in a forced triple (the one EV room ive been to was smaller than my stwest double AND it was also one more person)

[meager isle]

which buildings are the dining halls?

[buoyant violet]

steast and IV

i guess curry is closer to EV but you cant have all of your meals there

your dorm's proximity to your college's building also really doesnt matter, i know engineers that had zero classes in the engineering building (at least for the first year after which youll move to another dorm anyways)

[meager isle]

oh ok

[junior echo]

Guys does neu have ac in their dorms

Is this something u can buy

[twilit hinge]

i heard steast closing? idk i saw some post about it having a meeting with students that wanna keep it etc

[twilit hinge]

I think only some rooms do, but reserved for people that need it

like my sis got an ac dorm but it was cause her roommate had like asthma

[junior echo]

Wtf man all of a sudden I can't breathe

[twilit hinge]

o noes

just buy some fan or somethin

[meager isle]

open da windows

[twilit hinge]

well during winter we need the heater

[buoyant violet]

stwest is closing, not steast

[buoyant violet]

only EV afaik for freshmen dorms

[worthy perch]

wait just found out Northeastern doesnt have supplement questions?

[buoyant violet]

you cannot legally have your own AC but i have friends that did

it does not SPS

[worthy perch]

that is soooo nice. Im literally drowning in other suppls

[junior echo]

Why not

They don't want electricity bill

[worthy perch]

probably safety reasons?

like fires

[junior echo]

Fan=fire

What

[worthy perch]

huh?

[twilit hinge]

oh

oki thanks

nah it cant beelectricty

was stwest one of the good dining halls

[buoyant violet]

stwest was the worst one imo but it had stir fry

[buoyant violet]

they consume a lot of electricity and its not so much a bill thing as a frying thing

[meager isle]

gotta hide it from the RA

[meager isle]

which ones the best one

[meager isle]

prob something to do with liability idk

[buoyant violet]

I would say IV is the best, then Steast

[meager isle]

is that the best you can get as a freshman?

[buoyant violet]

if youre referring to dining halls those are the best for everybody because thats all there is

[meager isle]

i mean like dorms

like living in

[buoyant violet]

idk how id rank those theyre mostly all the same

[swift torrent]

Maybe ask NEU’s reddit?

[twilit hinge]

i think it varies based on person living there

[meager isle]

yeah

cause i got a heck ton of allergies so

may be more of a hassle for me

[meager isle]

@twilit hinge i got da thingy in the mail

a lot of signatures on that letter :0

[twilit hinge]

Wait is ur randomly placed just wondering if they copied and pasted or signed each for real 💀

[meager isle]

check ur dms

[tall hare]

Anyone know if it’s harder to get into comp sci + comp engineering than just one?

[twilit hinge]

they admit by college, not major

u can easily change ur major after getting in too

last seen data tho, it didnt matter what college u applied to within, they're all equally difficult with 1-2% off

[tall hare]

The major I want to apply is intercollege, so is that harder?

[twilit hinge]

Im confused

[tall hare]

Or just the main college I selected is the difficulty?

[twilit hinge]

u mean interdisciplinary?

which school are u applying to within northeastern

khoury, bouve, etc

[tall hare]

Khoury

[twilit hinge]

it doesnt matter what major u select within

[tall hare]

But the major I selected is called “Computer Engineering and Computer Science (housed in the College of Engineering)”

[twilit hinge]

the school itself, which khoury will review ur app i believe with other admission

oh

wait thats weird gimme a sec

@tall hare \

computer engineering and cs

is only in college of engineering

it shouldnt matter tho, go with ur major, not the school

thats more important

only schools that differ are portfolio ones so ur major doesnt apply

[tall hare]

Wait wdym

So is Khoury reading mine or engineering?

[twilit hinge]

engineering

dont worry just make ur app good

like they're all equally difficult

[tall hare]

But I selected Khoury as the college I’m applying to

[twilit hinge]

uhhh

well theres no avaliable

major

for khoury

with cs+ce

Idk its the otherway around at engineering

I looked at the portal for changing major and that wasnt an option under khoury

[tall hare]

Well it’s an option on commonapp

[twilit hinge]

uhhh, well dont worry

ur classes will still cross with khoury

[twilit hinge]

unless u want a much heavier focus on cs, at this point do cs and ce minor

[tall hare]

Should I leave this though?

[twilit hinge]

lemme check again

thats really weird

@tall hare ok yea its not under khoury

thats prob an error on common app said

side

my quesito nfor u is whats ur opinion of ce+cs

like I think u should care more about the program for ur major than the school

like being in engineering vs khoury will not change with that major cause ur taking mix of both cs and ce that is needed

[tall hare]

Should I switch my college then

[twilit hinge]

yea just do it in case

[jolly meadow]

does northeastern consider demonstrated interest bc there are no supps

[twilit hinge]

Yes, like at visits u can enter ur info and they'll register u under some interest

one of the most effective ways if u really want to go here is sending a custom supp of ur own to the portal, applicants in the psat have recommended it

[jolly meadow]

like what type of supp?

supplemental art materials?

or answering my own questions 💀

[meager isle]

yes

but don’t rely too much on it

[jolly meadow]

im only worried about it because i got deferred from case and im sure part of it is no demonstrated interest

theres not much more i can do

[meager isle]

write a LOCI

[jolly meadow]

i did for case yaya

should i hope that i get deferred from northeastern and write them a loci? LMAO

[meager isle]

or you can get placed in an alt campus

[jolly meadow]

idt i put one

[twilit hinge]

tbh use the loci as ur interest in the first place

[meager isle]

they can put u there regardless

[twilit hinge]

so like u have some sort of advantage of thousands of ea

[meager isle]

EA = rip

[jolly meadow]

you mean a loci beforehand?

[twilit hinge]

yea

in the portal

u can upload any misc doc

[jolly meadow]

ooh :o

[twilit hinge]

which includes ur own written interest

its really powerful

[jolly meadow]

thats very temptin

[twilit hinge]

thats why I would recommend if u do want to go here

[jolly meadow]

i did submit some materials

but i could do that too

[twilit hinge]

yea if u want to really get into boston and come here, u can write about that

if not dont bother then just hope

[jolly meadow]

fair

i mean i have a lot of colleges i want to go to

[twilit hinge]

cause most boston spots were taken by ed I believe

[jolly meadow]

but i applied to schools with the hope of getting in

yaaa

[twilit hinge]

yea exactly so if u have time, do it ig, if not then dont bother

[jolly meadow]

okay :D

[empty wing]

i havent been in this thread since last year

[sharp steeple]

lol

[stiff iron]

imagine if i get in

[meager isle]

hoping for the best

[formal trail]

hello

i submitted my app and it says my high school transcript is missing???

even when i look online there's no info on how to submit the transcript to them

plus isn't my transcript already a part of the school report and mid-year report

why do I have to send it again

[meager isle]

can you send an ss

[formal trail]

what is an ss

[meager isle]

screenshot

[formal trail]

my school name is there but whatever

[meager isle]

srar

you gotta self report ur own transcript

lol

[formal trail]

lol

so are they gonna flat out reject me now

the deadline's past?

[meager isle]

the transcript from ur school is supposed to be submitted by ur counselor, unlike the mid year report which is ur senior grades

the transcript has grades from every year

[formal trail]

yes i know that

is that not supposed to be in my school report?????

that my counselor submitted?

or am I just dumb

[meager isle]

you'd have to ask your counselor cause its diff for everyone

like i only submitted transcript and recs

[simple frigate]

When are the senior 1st semester reports due for most colleges

[formal trail]

even if there ain't it in my school report

where do I send my transcripts

[simple frigate]

Yuo self report for neu I think

[formal trail]

there's no instruction?

[meager isle]

what round did you apply for

[simple frigate]

You don’t send your transcript unless you want to enroll

Then they check it

I think so atleast

[formal trail]

but they say my counselor needs to send it to them?

[formal trail]

im RD

[meager isle]

https://admissions.northeastern.edu/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/FA23-How-to-Complete-the-SRAR-Guide.pdf

[formal trail]

just submitted like noon

wait

[simple frigate]

@formal trail Off topic but do you have a gpa

[meager isle]

you should have some time, but SRAR takes like a week or 2 to process

[formal trail]

so if i complete srar it's gonna say transcript is done?

[simple frigate]

Yes

[meager isle]

perhaps

[formal trail]

my school doesn't do gpa

[simple frigate]

For me that’s what it was

Ok yeah

Same

[formal trail]

ok i see

then i can calm down

[simple frigate]

I saw some ib students do

[formal trail]

thank you

[simple frigate]

Also ur good

[formal trail]

yea I am IB

[simple frigate]

I submitted it a week after

Cause I had no idea

We needed to

[formal trail]

i applied to NEU purely because no essays + have a fee waiver + in Boston

[simple frigate]

Hahah yeah fair enough

[formal trail]

if they gonna flat out deny my app well that's fine

no cost for me

[meager isle]

mid year is typically due in feb, but id suggest you send it as soon as its available

most counselors just automatically send anyways

[meager isle]

the school gets over 90k apps each year and stuf like that takes a while to process so

they may be lenient

[formal trail]

alright cool

my mid-year report was done a long time ago lol

[meager isle]

im assuming you are international so

also not too sure what their policy is on that

[formal trail]

im not intl tbh

I'm a US dual citizen

US + Hong Kong

[meager isle]

depending on the university

some would just throw u in the international category

some also will not

[formal trail]

yes i know

but for most schools im applying to yea im domestic

[stiff iron]

no way

yall do the srar??

😭

[median venture]

SUBMITTED NORTHEASTERN 🥶🥶

[simple frigate]

How does that work for us

Are we still considered international?

[twilit hinge]

even if you are a us citizen but applying from another school internationally, you're still considered an international

[simple frigate]

All schools or just neu

I assumed i was but like never cared cause nothing I can do

But for fin aid I think I’m considered domestic

Like I can do Fafsa

[stiff iron]

should i submit a 1380 for comp sci

780 math, 600 english

@twilit hinge

sorry for pinging deadline so soon

😭

17 mins

[mossy drift]

I also have a 1380 too!! (710M, 670R and i didn't submit if that helps)

[stiff iron]

did u ed

[mossy drift]

No

[stiff iron]

idk tbh

like im doing comp sci

im international

780 math

maybe they'll understand

idk

[mossy drift]

if you do ED2 you prob could

[stiff iron]

nah i ain't ED2ing

[mossy drift]

Oh ok

[stiff iron]

idk

i have 13 mins

😭

[mossy drift]

Oh i forgot about time zones

at this point go test optional

[stiff iron]

what did u put

[mossy drift]

Does northeastern require officail scores?

[stiff iron]

for secondary

campus

[mossy drift]

I wanted to shotgun any program at northeastern

[stiff iron]

aight yeah im going test optional then

[mossy drift]

So i chose any campus

but my first campus i chose boston

[stiff iron]

damn their questions suck

is this fine

there's no like "no interest" choice

oh theres i haven't decided to go abroad

whooo

[simple frigate]

Wait @stiff iron

For your sat you can just add it later?

[stiff iron]

idk i said don't consider

my sat

[mossy drift]

congrats!

[stiff iron]

tyty

[twilit hinge]

official reports need to be sent, but u have time after u gte the portal

it will tell you want things are still missing in there, its organized

[meager isle]

rip

[meager isle]

i would not based on the middle 50% range

[meager isle]

that question doesnt do much

i put abroad asw and boston campus as first choice

still got into boston campus

[stiff iron]

did u ed

[meager isle]

yeah

[twilit hinge]

yea they use that question just for like data

[stiff iron]

i heard all unis that don't require supps don't read the personal essay

but idk tbh

[twilit hinge]

as long as it doesnt contrast ur profile tho

[twilit hinge]

no way

thats a huge lie

[stiff iron]

like case didn't have supps

and didn't read mine

[twilit hinge]

its important as its the only humane part of u

[stiff iron]

so i think it can be true

[twilit hinge]

just check their common data set

if its marked important its def read

if considered then it has small chance of beingread

but for neu I know they read

[meager isle]

if that were the case then top applicants wouldnt be rejected lol

it would be just based on stats

[stiff iron]

this is for case

but they didn't read mine

[twilit hinge]

how do u know if they didnt read urs

[stiff iron]

thats kinda weird

[stiff iron]

oh everyone told me my essay is dogshit

like 0/10

[twilit hinge]

that doesnt mean they didnt read lmao

[meager isle]

the only real way is FERPA lol

[twilit hinge]

yea

[stiff iron]

does ferpa tell u if they read ur essay or not?

[meager isle]

it tells you what the AO committee rated ur app

like in detail

[stiff iron]

wait

[meager isle]

from essay to ECs

[stiff iron]

i can see it then??

can i see this information?

i can't see anything

[meager isle]

supposedly yes because of ferpa

but youd have to do ur research

cause tbh

idk anything

@stiff iron https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bki2hKMRIjk&t=1s&ab_channel=JackLiu

[stiff iron]

im confused

[meager isle]

this is a example

of someone that went through their admissions files via Umich

[stiff iron]

oh

cwru probs read my essay right?

because they have it as important

[meager isle]

every school reads the essay

[stiff iron]

is it safe to say that my essay isn't dogshit then?

[meager isle]

idk ur application as a whole

so idk if ur stats and ECs outweighed it

or if the admissions office just really saw something through ur essay

its hard to say

[stiff iron]

i see

Northeaster's CS is nice

i hope i get inn

[meager isle]

https://www.reddit.com/r/cwru/comments/r5rlu7/admission_file/

seems like you can look at it once you actually are enrolled

[stiff iron]

oh i have to be enrolled

damn

[meager isle]

yeah

[simple frigate]

Idk why we can’t see it without

Wouldn’t that be a cool thing to know

[grizzled bough]

mass | @devout yarrow

[buoyant violet]

Yo, Im a CE + CS Major and yes your college would be Engineering if you wanna do that combined major. Most if not all of the combined majors only have one option for the home college. In this case, you take the intro classes for engineering that everyone takes:
Cornerstone 1 and 2, Chemistry for Engineers, Physics 1 and 2, Calc 1, 2, and most likely 3
If you want a heavier CS focus or aren't up for the classes above ^^, you should pursue a CS degree with a CE minor

im not entirely sure how Khoury does their shared curriculum, but it likely would not overlap maybe except for calc 1/2

[tall hare]

I already submitted for college of CS with CS+CE as major, do you think I’m okay? It lists it as a major under the school of CS on their website

[buoyant violet]

You're fine, just if you end up in that major your home college with be engineering;
the abbrevation is always CECS btw bc the home major comes first

you can DM me with any questions

[buoyant violet]

they might extend by 24 hours or something? i know other colleges do that but not sure abt nu

[light bone]

NU?

u mean neu

[buoyant violet]

it is both NU and NEU, they are used interchangeably and both work

i go here so i think i'd know

[untold shale]

bru i shoulda waited

cus i would change some minor things on there if i still could

[light bone]

isnt northwestern nu tho

[twilit hinge]

Nah thats nwu

I feel like nu could be used for both, and then more specifically with that one letter to have the difference

[light bone]

hell nah

no one calls northwestern nwu

[light bone]

i feel like

NU is northwestern for sure and NEU can be northeastern

western was there first in their defense

so they should be nu

[meager isle]

i mean there are so many schools in the U.S.

that some schools just share acronyms

[meager isle]

would you say UT is Tennessee and not texas cause tennessee was founded first?

[meager isle]

northeastern northwestern and nebraska alll use NU

[light bone]

well they go by utk

bcos knoxville

[meager isle]

its all just preference really

[light bone]

fine bro

fine

u win

goddamn it

cant have shit in detroit

[meager isle]

ik people that use USC for univ of south carolina

even tho most people use USC for socal

[meager isle]

ann arbor better

[light bone]

uh huh

[terse umbra]

Started my app, completed it in 2 minutes, all an hour after the deadline 😂

[meager isle]

all fun in games

till they dont get ur documents on time

[twilit hinge]

Thats so real

I get confused so i ask people cali or sc

[buoyant violet]

like n said it really doesnt matter, idk why youre getting so pressed lol

[twilit hinge]

Sheep be a lil fiesty sometimes

[meager isle]

my friends that go there just have it abreviated as UofSC

[twilit hinge]

Oh thats clearer

[meager isle]

when everyone arguing about western and eastern and that one guy that calls it nebraska

[meager isle]

or they just call it carolina lmao

[twilit hinge]

Yea

[meager isle]

unfortunately for Univ of Denver tho

Univ of delaware took UD from them

https://letsgodu.com/2021/04/22/its-always-been-that-way/

a whole article about abbreviations

[terse umbra]

Meh they prob will

NE was a crapshoot anyways

I don’t like my ps

And that’s the only essay they take

[meager isle]

tbf tho most schools will focus on the personal essay

more than supplementals

most supplementals are why us essays and if ur applying u def have a good reason for wanting to attend

[meager isle]

the whole admissions process is, but goodluck!!!

[buoyant violet]

just checked their official website and northeastern states it is NU, and "Never use NEU" so 🤷‍♂️

[meager isle]

ofc or else NU.in would be called NEU.in

[twilit hinge]

guys this the real nu

[meager isle]

someone said they stole the nu.edu domain lmao

[twilit hinge]

breh

well were they first

[meager isle]

thats why if u search neu.edu it goes to northeastern

and nu.edu goes to national

[twilit hinge]

oh wait they were created 1871

1971

[twilit hinge]

honestly I just type northeastern.edu

[meager isle]

sadly nwu.edu doesnt go to northwestern

[twilit hinge]

where does that go

[meager isle]

nowhere

[twilit hinge]

oh

[meager isle]

you can claim it if u wan

[twilit hinge]

does that mean no one claim

yo lemme claim

LOL

[meager isle]

yep

[twilit hinge]

gonna link it back to northeastern.edu

[meager isle]

my stuff be bookmarked

[twilit hinge]

yea

i should organize my bookmarks

[meager isle]

it is like one line of code lmao

[twilit hinge]

its half neu portal half random junk

[twilit hinge]

exactly

[terse umbra]

My personal statement is just so bland. No unique experiences to talk about, just my journey through leadership in the most boring way possible, school clubs

[meager isle]

i mean mine wasnt extravogant either

i just highlighted the importance of connections with others through activities

its okay, not everyone needs to go on a mission trip to some foreign country and cure a disease

[terse umbra]

Sure seems like it. Everyone had a disease or suffered some loss or did something amazing

I was in student council ☹️

[meager isle]

as long as there was something significant that happened to you during your time as a leader

that’s really all that matters

[terse umbra]

Losing all confidence in my essay

Too late to change it now 😕

[fringe quest]

my portal shows everything is missing lol

wtf

[stiff iron]

Declaration and Certification of Finances (DCF)

i have a scholarship

how do i waive this

[buoyant violet]

does your IDOC show that?

[meager isle]

anyone

know where to find like scholarships to apply to

and one where it wont take me a light year to complete

[terse umbra]

You should submit then

[fringe quest]

Everything was sent, but it just hasn't shown
i'll give it the 5 days but my transcript was sent on the first lol and they say they don't have it

[meager isle]

things take up to 2 weeks to process

the closer to the deadline you submit, the slower itll be

[fringe quest]

my application was submitted on the 31st

my school sent materials on the first

of december

[meager isle]

follow up with your school

and if need be email the admissions team at northeastern

[twilit hinge]

^they're pretty good with emails, max 5 days usually

call tho if ur in more of a rush

[meager isle]

what major

[burnt escarp]

Business Admin

If it matters 730 and 730

[meager isle]

i dont think it would hurt to send as it is in the middle 50% range of SAT scores

[burnt escarp]

i just have good IB predicted so idk if it overall helps or not

[simple frigate]

I wouldn’t submit

Unless you are low income

You are below the 50%

But up to you

Ib is also standardized so that helps

Plus got predicted

[meager isle]

oh shoot it went up lmao

[meager isle]

yean no, reading is good but math would be in 25th percentile

[burnt escarp]

Alright thanks 🙏

[meager isle]

incase ur wondering

[burnt escarp]

Yeah i flopped at math

🤩

[simple frigate]

I am test optional aswell and do ib(38/42) if that helps you at all

[burnt escarp]

Oh mine was /45 but cool fellow ib’er

[meager isle]

how do IBs differ from APs

my state basically has no IB lol

[burnt escarp]

in Ib u take 6 courses 3 SL’s and 3 Hl’s normally and it has a lot of projects called Internal assesments for every course, an extended essay 4000 words for a course of ur choice, and 2 things called TOK and cas, the first is like philsophy while cas is service and activities

[simple frigate]

It’s rough

[burnt escarp]

Sl’s stands for standard level and hl for higher btw

Its tough yeah

[simple frigate]

Idk what to compare it to

But like I kinda prefer us ap system more

Especially cause their finals matter less

[burnt escarp]

yeah in ap u just focus on the course while IB has a lot of stuff outside the class too

[meager isle]

😭

damn

yeah, AP is inflated

all that matters in AP is the actual exam itself

[burnt escarp]

For ur final grade its the same for IB whatever u get in the final exam but you apply with predicted which is the result of many tests

[meager isle]

my school does its own ranking game by forcing everyone that takes an AP to take the exam lmao

[meager isle]

my school does it diff. normal schools have a final on top of the actual AP exam (cause AP Exam is optional for them) whereas my school there is no final exam and instead you just take the AP exam

which ig serves as an incentive, cause seniors can just stop coming to school after AP exams if their core classes are APs

[burnt escarp]

Oh

So do you get your grades before apps

or do you have a predicted system like Ib

[meager isle]

before apps as in?

[burnt escarp]

applications

[meager isle]

uh we work on semesters and quarters

each semester has 2 quarters

and we have 2 semesters in a year

so 4 quarters

our finals arent till the end of the year

so

[meager isle]

wait

r u saying AP score

or like whats on our transcript

[burnt escarp]

Yeah

Ap grade

[meager isle]

nationally ap score comes out in june

[burnt escarp]

June 2023 or 2024

[meager isle]

2024

[burnt escarp]

Ohh so now you can’t mention ap in your app?

[meager isle]

end of each school year

[burnt escarp]

Wait

can you take Ap before senior?

[meager isle]

yes

[burnt escarp]

Ohhh so do people just not take ap’s in senior because it doesnt matter

[meager isle]

yes and no

yes cause they want more ap credit for classes and so when they apply the school sees theyre still taking college level courses

[stiff iron]

Guys, why does it show my transcript is not received and my letters of recommendation & counselor recs are?

[meager isle]

the only reason one does not take AP senior year is if they a recruited athlete lmao

[meager isle]

basically i have to report my AP score for senior year once it releases this june

on common app you just put the date ur gonna take the AP exam

so the college knows to expect an AP score report in june

[meager isle]

did you do SRAR, and double check with your counselor

[burnt escarp]

Ah i see

[stiff iron]

what should i double check

its submitted

on his counselor account

like the transcripts

[meager isle]

i could also not and just not get credit

[meager isle]

when was it submitted

if its been like over 2 weeks have ur counselor call or email admissions office

[stiff iron]

the transcripts were submitted by him on commonapp since like october 30th

but i submitted neu yesterday

[burnt escarp]

How many ap’s do schools normally want? like 6?

[meager isle]

depends on how many ur school offers

the worst ur school is the less ur school offers

[burnt escarp]

how many are they?

[meager isle]

too many

[burnt escarp]

Damn

[meager isle]

i would have ur counselor contact admissions

my school uses naviance so i cant help u on that one

our common app is self report

lol

[meager isle]

schools would rather see u take APs based on ur major rather than quantity imo

doesnt make sense if u take like poly sci, comp sci, and life sci aps but you wanna do like engineering

[stiff iron]

my counselor is a physics teacher bruh, i had to put him as my counselor because we don't have a counselor

can i just send them the transcripts?

[burnt escarp]

Yeah its kinda like that for IB but for some careers like architecture u have to take weird combos like art+physics and stuff like tht

[meager isle]

email admissions explaining ur situation

and do what the admissions people say

[meager isle]

art i can see why

physics perhaps i can see why

[burnt escarp]

I mean you have to take a science so physics is the best for architecture i guess

[simple frigate]

@stiff iron

You need to self report your grades

They don’t look at ur transcript

It’s long but you need to go class by class

[meager isle]

they more or less compare it with the SRAR

cause the transcript is the official document

[simple frigate]

Oh

So why do they do SRAR then

[meager isle]

which doesnt make sense why SRAR exists when transcript is the validating document

[simple frigate]

Yeah lol

[meager isle]

idk, cause common app has their own SRAR lmao

except the common app one is to really like tell them what classes u taking

[meager isle]

its stupid cause u have to go word for word in SRAR

[simple frigate]

My SRAR is legit the same as my transcript

Like 0 changes

[meager isle]

that’s the point 😭😭😭

it’s a waste of time

[light bone]

i’m just joking man

this doesn’t rlly matter

two colleges can have the same abbreviation

[vale seal]

Is it bad if I applied ea and haven't done the srar yet

[light bone]

yes

[meager isle]

yes as they prob are expecting it by now

and it takes a few days to process

[tired meteor]

Lol i kept saying usf and people thought i meant univ of South Florida but it was actually uni of san francisco and i now know that san fran goes by usfca cuz california

i say NW for northwestern but NWU sounds wrong like GWU
NW and NEU in my opinion, NU just reminds me of the physics alphabet

[meager isle]

nebraska!!

[jolly meadow]

NU (north uestern)

[twilit hinge]

They’ll most likely defer u, but if u did srar now u still have a chance

[meager isle]

they already defer everyone from EA so who knows lmao

[twilit hinge]

honestly true

hoping my friend gets in so Ik who to room with otherwise Imma just get random

[meager isle]

the insta page like sorta worked lol

[twilit hinge]

yea i do have a gc

[west hare]

i got the message asking for more documents before financial aid in my letter--if i've submitted the two needed through idoc should i just wait until they appear on the portal?

i dont think i need to send any emails but just to be sure i thought id check here

[stuck sandal]

yo

u think they can waive the 600 dollar fee?

[simple frigate]

Did you get a email from college board or neu

[simple frigate]

?

The application has passed

But you can get a fee waiver I think

[west hare]

no email from college board or neu

i applied ed if it matters and got in

[simple frigate]

Oh

[stuck sandal]

there was an application for the fee waiver

damn

[simple frigate]

Not to sure cause I got a email from college board tofsy

[simple frigate]

I mean I didn’t get one

But Ik some people did

You could still try to apply

[stuck sandal]

wait

im talking about the enrollment and housing fee

[simple frigate]

Oh

I was confused for a sec

I thought you meant 60

Maybe I would email them

[twilit hinge]

enrollment Im not entirely sure, u might have to talk with fin aid to see if they can waiver

[buoyant violet]

i doubt you can waive it as it just goes towards paying your total cost for fall semester, its a pay now vs pay later thing and not a dont pay now and dont pay later

and unless youre getting a complete free ride or your financial situation isnt the greatest right now i would advise you pay it

[light bone]

so the official ea decision date is feb 15

but apparently they usually do it in late jan??

is this true

[kind kernel]

yea i think last year it was late jan

[light bone]

DAMN

[kind kernel]

ik im so scared

[light bone]

its gonna be ok

it'll go well

found this from reddit (decision dates)

EA 22-23: jan 28-30th!!

EA 21-22: jan 26th at 2:24pm PT (4:24pm CT & 5:24pm ET)

EA 20-21: jan 27th at 3:16pm PT (5:16pm CT & 6:16pm ET)

i think last year was about the same as 22-23 as well

[kind kernel]

damn

could be jan 29 ish this year

[light bone]

if its 26th it'll be the same as unc/umich 😭 😭 😭

that would suck

[light bone]

true

[kind kernel]

omg noo im not prepared for that

[light bone]

same

[twilit hinge]

ed this year was a week late

[light bone]

i hope its earlier

[twilit hinge]

so theres a chance ea may be pushed back too

[light bone]

oof

[kind kernel]

same i jus wanna know

[light bone]

yeah true

im pretty sure that 2 years ago, their decision was officially coming out before 1st feb too

and now its 15th feb

soo

[twilit hinge]

theres 56k+ ea applications this year

so they gotta process through them

[light bone]

FUCK

NU GET FASTER

stupid

[twilit hinge]

rip them aos

[light bone]

wasnt the top ao at neu literally arrested

for watching inappropriate child content

💀

[twilit hinge]

that aint a top ao

[light bone]

so much for their reputation

[light bone]

pretty sure that was like one of the office heads

at neu

[twilit hinge]

I think he wsa just an admission counselor

but yea thats still shocking

[shut smelt]

wait umich also jan 26? i thought they didn't specify

[kind kernel]

based on previous years it shuld be jan 26

[meager isle]

r u sure they didn’t do that just to have it on taylor swifts birthday

[twilit hinge]

ngl that might be it

that insta post LMAO

[meager isle]

i wanna think so

although the social media is controlled by current students

so it doesn’t have direct correlation to admissions

maybe they made a deal lol

[twilit hinge]

Aint no way they made this deal to make us panic

[charred mulch]

i got mine on the 30th

exact date might vary by what program you get into but for boston campus it was the 30th

[light bone]

ah okay

thanks

[tired meteor]

lmaooo

[tired meteor]

which one

[meager isle]

ED1 video

lol

[dusky vault]

im kinda debating switching from EA to ED2, is that like, a decent idea?

[stiff iron]

can u even do that

lol

@dusky vault

[dusky vault]

Apparently? Like you can switch on the portal I thinkkkk

I’ll go check but that’s what it says for me

[twilit hinge]

U can switch

Only last few weeks they dont let u

[stiff iron]

same with nyu?

[twilit hinge]

Not sure

[meager isle]

the only school i’ve seen where they let you openly switch rounds is NEU lol

huge button in the portal and they send email abt it

[tall hare]

When are the grades due in the portal thing?

[simple frigate]

As soon as you can I think

It takes like 20 minutes

[stiff iron]

Guys for the finance thing

I can’t finish it because my scholarship

It’s complicated

What do I do

Email admissions?

[simple frigate]

You intl?

[stiff iron]

Yes

[simple frigate]

Gotta ask sm1 else not sure

If nobody else can help I’d say email

[meager isle]

^

[quaint geyser]

i js found out that northeastern requested financial documents from me back in november 💀

ig im not getting any fin aid

[west hare]

i submitted mine like 2 days ago 💀

idk when it will update but no finaid for me either ig

[meager isle]

uh oh

[tall hare]

Is the school counselor info on the SRAR required?

Also it gives me an option to enter grades for 7th and 8th grade do I do those?

[meager isle]

i don’t recall seeing that on there

[meager isle]

no

[tall hare]

They’re on my transcript so ima put them

Some are

[meager isle]

how is that an option 💀

[tall hare]

Like just my HS classes

Like algebra 1 in 7th and stuff

[meager isle]

oh that’s how your school counts it

ig it’s highschool credit at your school

?

[tall hare]

Yeah

Only like 2 classes from 7th

Ima just put what’s in my transcript

[meager isle]

alr

[marble oyster]

@granite marsh

@waxen ice

[waxen ice]

anyone who has knowledge on northeastern, how is the co-op programs like there? more specifically for the D'Amore Mkim school of business? Are the work opportunities given well and is it worth it to go to Northeastern over like Cornell due to their co-op program?

[grizzled bough]

What’s ur major

[waxen ice]

finance

[light bone]

over cornell?

no way

the co-op can be the same as a normal paid summer internship that u can do

[meager isle]

it really comes down to like

how you wanna live at that point lol

like which environment/campus you like

it’s really just self preference cause both schools woold help you find a job easily

[untold shale]

when is the srar here due

im so confused

[swift torrent]

I wanna say srar are usually due ~15 days after the app deadline

I’m not certain tho

[tired meteor]

I'd just do it asap

bcuz i know for uiuc for ea if you don't do it within a week they just defer you to rd

[formal trail]

oh my god the srar is stupid

[meager isle]

indeed

[coral python]

does anyone know the diff in acceptance rates for the boston campus & nuin

[vale seal]

just submitted the srar after 2 months and 6 days 🎉

[simple frigate]

😂😂😂

[simple lantern]

when are northeastern ea coming out

[twilit hinge]

around february

its quite late

[simple lantern]

bruh aint no way

that is wild

[twilit hinge]

dawg admission here is always late for some reason

last year was like late february

and then rd was late march lmao

they dont got enough AOs to read through all those apps in such a short time

[kind kernel]

i thought it was late jan

[twilit hinge]

it says by feb 15th, but theres a chance it could be delayed

lemme check last year

[twilit hinge]

yea ur right jan 30th was last year mb

[median oar]

has NE extended their deadline

[meager isle]

i believe not

[white bison]

whens the northeastern css due again?

[bright dome]

feb 15th for regular https://admissions.northeastern.edu/cost-financial-aid/applying-for-financial-aid/#:~:text=CSS Profile,-(NU%20code%203667&text=Early%20Decision%20I%3A%20November%2015,Regular%20Decision%3A%20February%2015

[stark pendant]

No advertising

[median venture]

Yooo

For SRAR

Do I need to input my grades from 1st grade???

Or will just high school be fine

[stiff iron]

Bruh what

[median venture]

The academic record thingy

[woeful fern]

high school only im p sure

[twilit hinge]

If u got letter transcripts from 1st grade thats crazy 💀

Its only high school, not even middle school

Ucs are the only one I know of that considers middle school classes i think

[stiff iron]

Dang

[median venture]

I do lmao, but I was trippin' they ask only from high school

[twilit hinge]

Yea why they got 1st grade transcripts?

[tired meteor]

first grade: cutting shapes: D

ivies: reJECT

[meager isle]

E

[twilit hinge]

e

[mint nest]

e

[untold shale]

wait my high school doesnt provide letter grades

would 1-100 scale be fine to put

[twilit hinge]

if I remember correctly, u need to convert

[untold shale]

wdym

i provided a conversion scale

i added this, but the actual grades I put as numeric (it didnt even let me put letter grades)

is that aight?

[twilit hinge]

uhhhh im not sure

i dont remember how srar went

but they add their special note of what they want

like in the home page of the srar portal

each college that uses this srar portaol should have their special notes under their uni name

[untold shale]

hmmm

i can still change it after the due date right

but idk what there is to change

it litrally only let me put in number grades

i just added in the grading scale

OHH

yeah nvm i think im good i provided the scale

[twilit hinge]

Oh then u chillin

yea I didnt remember the exact wording whether you had to do it yourself, or just the scale

@charred mulch just wondering, do u take accel fundies or normal? I was wondering if you have any experience with accel fundies 1 and 2 with like workload and benefits.

[bright dome]

srar has scale options i think

[charred mulch]

I’m in accel fundies, it’s really up to you if you want to do it since it doesn’t boost your gpa or get you out of any other classes. So really the main benefit you’re getting is that you’re learning more stuff. Also better access to TAs since the class is smaller and you’re more likely to have a decent hw partner since most ppl in accel have prior programming experience. That being said, accel is obviously harder but fundies 1 accel was manageable even though it’s definitely pain at times. I’m currently in fundies 2 accel so I’ll lyk how the semester ends up going.

[twilit hinge]

Aight gl!

I might lean towards accel, but imma see how confident I am learning other language over the summer before deciding

[junior echo]

its actually so crazy

other schools i legit dont care when it comes out

ill just get an email

northeastern i was anxious for days

[dusky vault]

Idk how I’m gonna be in February like- I’m alr anxious now 😭

[frail bronze]

I’m gonna clown on my twin when she gets shipped to London

[twilit hinge]

dawg they didnt say anything and kept us waiting until taylor swifts birthday bruh

[twilit hinge]

did u apply ea? if so its late jan

[dusky vault]

what.

it is?! oml lemme check again

no later than mid feb my god-

[meager isle]

yeah they don’t give exact dates

[meager isle]

i knew they was finna do that

lmao

after i saw something abt a class having to do with her

if they do that next year tho 💀

at least put her signature on my acceptance letter

[twilit hinge]

based on years before, u got approx 15 days

[twilit hinge]

nah waht they fr had to make us that anxious

[dusky vault]

thats so scary please

i honestly hope i get deferred i probs need more time to prove myself

[meager isle]

its either deferred or get thrown into a satalite campus lol

rare for people to get rejected

[dusky vault]

i mean rather NU.in or smthg than nothing! (honestly id rather be abroad first sem anyways)

as long as i get to be at boston at some point 😭 just not cali the whole time

[open lynx]

this school is too damn expensive and yet I was attracted to apply bc of its co-ops ✨👹

[meager isle]

surprisngly ive seen a lot of cali people be placed in boston for the fall

i would assume they place more cali people in oakland cause then u dont gotta fly across the country

for the first year

[dusky vault]

yeah that would make so much sense

[dusky vault]

my god im applying to scholarships like crazyyyyy

[meager isle]

only 300k loans yk

[twilit hinge]

living outside dorms to save money 💯💯

[meager isle]

would you actually save much tho cause it’s boston

[stark pendant]

No one wants to be in Oakland trust

Plus doesn’t the campus only have certain majors

[meager isle]

ofc no one wants to but

school will still end up placing them there

imo half the reason is to do with geographical location

cause it is a factor

[meager isle]

that’s like every satellite campus

that’s why either defer or satellite campus

worse outcome flat out rejection lol if they can’t fit you anywhere

[stark pendant]

I’ve heard of a lot of cases of people complaining and getting moved

[stark pendant]

Ik im just saying bc you mentioned California people

[meager isle]

cause of geographical

[stark pendant]

I just brought that up bc you said oh wonder why not as many ca people are ending up in Oakland

Could be their major isn’t there

Plus it’s ed

They’re going to give priority to them

Ea/rd you’ll probably have more Oakland people

[meager isle]

that was my first thought but then again

yes what you’ve said is true

but also over social media people going to like satellite campus/oakland are still the minority group and most of them are only interested in getting to know other people placed at satellite campuses

so the amount of people i see posting abt going to the diff campuses is also just small in general

[stark pendant]

I’m also guessing most ca people put Oakland near the bottom considering neu is primarily located in Boston and they likely want to go oos

[stark pendant]

Yeah that’s fair

[meager isle]

if i remember correctly we only got like a few choices

boston
NUin
global scholars
oakland by itself
london by itself

for me i did boston - nu in - global scholars

[grizzled bough]

london would b so fye

[meager isle]

which my friend that got into oakland ED that lives in cali didn’t even put oakland by itself, they had no choice but to put global scholar at the bottom since it was 3 preferences

[meager isle]

it is but ngl that would be my last choice cause applying to a london school as international is always an option

[grizzled bough]

wait did u alr commit to a school

[meager isle]

yeah northeastern 28 lmao

[grizzled bough]

where did u get put

boston?

[meager isle]

yes i was put in boston

[grizzled bough]

oh ur fine

then

[meager isle]

yeah lmao

i just like discussing stuff abt this school cause

it feels like everything is super rng for no reason

never gonna be a definite answer sadly

[stark pendant]

Yeah I didn’t put Oakland down at all

[stark pendant]

Wait he didn’t put down Oakland?

[meager isle]

nah

same selection i did

[stark pendant]

Dang poor person

[meager isle]

boston Nuin Global

[stark pendant]

Well at least they’re not bound

[meager isle]

yep

[stark pendant]

So they can go to another school

[stark pendant]

You should tell them to complain too

[meager isle]

how to get blocked by northeastern

lel

[stark pendant]

No lol just send an email asking them if there’s any way to change the location

[meager isle]

if i was living in cali tho, id prob jsut go to a cali school like Usc, ucla,ucsd

[meager isle]

that could work?!?

[stark pendant]

Yeah

[meager isle]

that’s how my other friend got rescinded from penn state

[stark pendant]

Me asf

[stark pendant]

If they’re rescinding you for politely asking 💀

That’s insane

[meager isle]

i couldn’t stop laughing, they said they’d reconsider his app for main campus

and just recinded him at the end

😭

[stark pendant]

That’s so rude of them wtf

[meager isle]

i mean they’re rolling so , after EA it’s really just space

[stark pendant]

Still

[meager isle]

he wasn’t planning on going anyways

idk why he emailed but

ig that’s something that doesn’t happen everyday

[stark pendant]

That’s good at least

[grizzled bough]

can you ss it thats so funny

[meager isle]

😂

[meager isle]

bro told me in the car on the way to school

had me dying

[twilit hinge]

bruh what lmao

yes you can technically email to change locations, but it's very risky and you need quite a good reason

otherwise like a possible penn state moment might happen or they ignore u

[junior echo]

Wait this works

Nu in to nu

!!!!

[valid verge]

what's the admit rate to Computer Science and Business Administration, BS in regular

for northeastern ofc

[light bone]

atleast 1%

[meager isle]

1000

%

[buoyant violet]

they dont admit by major so it's the same as the university's acceptance rate

[meager isle]

^

sat ranges for each college ain’t a huge diff either

[twilit hinge]

Last time they released by schools within northeastern acceptance they were nearly the same too

[knotty bloom]

i just realized i haven’t submitted letter of rec 💀

[frail bronze]

howd u submit then?
