Northeastern University (2023-2024)

[twilit hinge]

he prob means in the portal

cause u can submit app without rec

[knotty bloom]

yea that’s what i meant lol

ig theres no point to submit it now cuz the deadline was like 2 months ago

[silk charm]

guys does anyone have an idea when NEU is releasing EA decisions?

[woeful fern]

its supposed to be feb15

[tired meteor]

for ed it said Jan 1 but they got it dec 13 so since for us it says Feb 15, it's v likely we'll get it Jan end (don't take my word on this)

[silk charm]

makes sense thats what i was thinking

[twilit hinge]

Previous years it was late jan, so ig anticipate that for now

[frail bronze]

they were def on smth to say it would come January and then everyone got decisions December

😭

[stark pendant]

I think they said by January 1st or something like that so everyone assumed it was Jan 1st

[bright dome]

it says by feb 15 iirc

[meager isle]

they nev er give official dates

thats why it was never published on A2C calendar lol

a very nice surprise

although ED has to come out in dec cause of break

[simple lantern]

feb 15 is so late for ea

wtf

did that many people apply lol

[twilit hinge]

Based on the counselor email, 56000+ for ea

We dont know how many rd but yea

[simple lantern]

and how many do they accept

[twilit hinge]

tbh I got no clue

I need that counselor to report the statisics

for ea

cause they gave statistics for ed in an email for counselors 1 hour before release

[empty wing]

your counselor tells u these stuff?

[twilit hinge]

nah someone posted on forums

a counselor

so we got all the stats

[empty wing]

oh on college confidential?

[twilit hinge]

yes

that was confirmed real

[languid sluice]

I mean if they accept like 2k for Boston a year

And 1000 were already filled for ed

Maybe a couple hundred ea

Then even fewer for Rd

Everyone else gets shipped to branch campus

[twilit hinge]

There is about -1500 boston admits

Previous year was around 3500 total enrollment according to Tom for everything including rd for boston

They did build a new dorm I believe so the space may increasce but I wouldn’t guarantee, so estimate 2k-3k spots left ig

[meager isle]

gotta factor in the yield rate of like ~33%

so theyd prob admit more ea and rd round lol

[languid sluice]

Idk maybe I know their Rd rate like 2 years ago was 5%

💀

T10 numbers

[meager isle]

say if their rd applicant was like 40k

5% of that is 2k

it makes sense, since only 33% of that would actually commit

[meager isle]

we just get more applicants than any school out there lol

its really just the school is small with no space

now if we had a higher yield rate in EA or RD then yes, would be at like T10 type admissiojns

[flat bloom]

when is SRAR due?

[midnight vine]

https://www.nulondon.ac.uk/2022/10/31/double-degrees/
Is anyone apart of this program or is applying to this?

[tired meteor]

for people who ed'd here, what made you choose neu? no hate or anything to the school i just wanna know yalls perspectives

[stark folio]

i didnt but many say various things like location, co-op program, financial aid, or even direct vibes like school visit or word of mouth. also, lots of academic offerings lol

[tired meteor]

they give good financial aid?

[stark folio]

definitely not way up there but they do offer some merit and need-based scholarships that puts them ahead of many other universities

[tired meteor]

ooh okay

also i saw a Facebook yesterday of a parent saying their kid got into both northeastern and Purdue and asking which one is better? northeastern ea results out for anyone?

[simple lantern]

guys if you got into Northeastern Oakland for CS are you able to transfer

hypotehtically since decisions are coming out soon

[trim edge]

is oakland easier to get into than boston?

i did northeastern oakland cs 1st choice

[simple lantern]

uhh definitely easier to get into

it got rebranded as norhteastern like 3 yrs ago or sum

actually 2 yrs ago

it did it in 2022

[trim edge]

how do i check again

like what i put down as first choice option?

[simple lantern]

go to ur portal

[trim edge]

im on it

[simple lantern]

on the right

you should see what ur first option is

[trim edge]

i dont see it

[tired meteor]

check which school has khoury

[trim edge]

pretty sure both do

theres khoury at oakland and boson

[woeful fern]

u can check on your common app pdf

[trim edge]

oh i did boston firsy

[tired meteor]

bro nobody got northeastern decision yet right

ea

[woeful fern]

not yet, just checked

[tired meteor]

ok bcuz i saw an fb post where someone said "my son just got into northeastern and Purdue which one do i choose"

[woeful fern]

oh they probably got non-binding ED

not EA

[tired meteor]

what's non binding ed?

Isn't ed binding

[keen galleon]

should i change EA to ED2? I fucked up ED1 and considering for ED2

[woeful fern]

if you're not admitted to your first choice campus but they accept you for another campus, then northeastern ED is non-binding

[woeful fern]

fr northeastern be making up their own rules💀

[trim edge]

what does ed2 mean?

like a later binding ed?

[woeful fern]

if you dont get into your ED1 school or didnt apply ED1 at all, some schools offer ED2 which is binding but the deadline is closer to RD deadline

[trim edge]

i see

[tired meteor]

OOOOOOOH THAT'S ACK KINDA COOL

[coral python]

plz come out the 20th AHH

ik it says feb 15th no later but istg it always comes out jan 20th

[meager isle]

it will prob come out within this month

[tired meteor]

it came out 28-30 last year

[twilit hinge]

location, co-op, cs program is awesome

its not binding if u dont get in as said above, so thats why I picked here and be fine if I still got in but not the location as a safety

[buoyant cypress]

idk

[brazen kernel]

wait decisions are coming out soon?

[meager isle]

boston - co op (International co op) - small school - free app - more snow ☃️

[twilit hinge]

I love snow, but shoveling...

[meager isle]

and thats where living in the city comes into play

[twilit hinge]

free snow shovelers

[meager isle]

yup

not hand shoveling the drive way

when u have a 3 foot tall snow on a 20ft long drivewayy

[twilit hinge]

loool

[simple frigate]

^^^

Does anybody know when they announced the release date in recent years

Ik it has usually been 29th ish but when was that date announced in the past not to sure where to go to find this

[twilit hinge]

tbh they usually annouce release date the same time as the release

u can follow nuadmissions on insta for when they post

[frail bronze]

small?

i thought they were big?

[buoyant cypress]

das what im sayin

its a big school

[meager isle]

relatively small compared to every school i applied to

[languid sluice]

One of the main reasons I applied here is cause they have some typa scholarship for national recognition people knowing damn well I'd never get in anyway

[languid sluice]

In reference to this

[rich gulch]

i hated submitting my srar, i took 25 classes freshman year it took way too long to upload that info lol

[meager isle]

😵

25

lol

my school caps at 8

[rich gulch]

yeah my school is very weird 💀 i was supposed to take 30+ classes but quarantine happened

the classes would switch like every 1-2 weeks

[meager isle]

that sounds like a nightmare

[rich gulch]

yeah especially if it was a construction-based class like plumbing or machine tech

[simple lantern]

guys when do EA's

release

I know it was by February 15th

but usually they release before a "no later" than date

[meager isle]

prob by the end of this month

[trim edge]

does neu admissions take into account your major?

[meager isle]

they admit by college not major

the major is just to indicate what ur interested in

as this school is flexible and knows students can and will change their minds

[trim edge]

so they'll admit by like khoury school of computer science?

and not just through the specific program at the college?

[meager isle]

yes

[trim edge]

i see

is khoury competitive

[meager isle]

yes

but overall just apply to whichever one your app is more centered around

[trim edge]

got it

[meager isle]

🫡

[trim edge]

does neu give good aid?

i missed the priority deadline

just started filling out css now

[twilit hinge]

Yea they do give good aid

and if ur stats good they can even offer u a merit scholarship

Its not the best, but better than many colleges

[grizzled bough]

I always picture you as your pfp

[twilit hinge]

real

https://tenor.com/view/caterpillar-green-ok-worm-real-gif-27210222

[grizzled bough]

Like a platypus

I imagine a platypus talking about he ED’d to neu

[twilit hinge]

omg thats why krispee randomy calls me a platypus

💀

[meager isle]

my css estimate wasn’t bad lmao

considering i knew that fafsa wouldn’t give me anything

[meager isle]

that secretly is him irl

[trim edge]

did you do priority css?

[wicked imp]

Guys Imma be honest here, I applied to NEU cuz it didn't need any supps

[grizzled bough]

Ur a sophomore, why are you applying

[wicked imp]

I am going to finish highschool this year in sophomore year with my A Levels

[twilit hinge]

ngl thats like every applicant here

[grizzled bough]

Ur profile is so confusing, ur class of 27,28 and 30 at the same time

[twilit hinge]

💀

[burnt escarp]

are u 15

[meager isle]

yep

[twilit hinge]

the main question is if ur graduating from high school this year

like in general

[wicked imp]

yeah 16

[trim edge]

oh dam n imissed it

[wicked imp]

just turned 16 a few months ago

[twilit hinge]

I mean u can graduate as a sophmore but

like u mean graduating as in complete high school

or like just sophmore year

[wicked imp]

Yeah completing highschool

[twilit hinge]

oh

[wicked imp]

with the final examinations

[twilit hinge]

ig yea then u could apply

das some big skips

[wicked imp]

I already appliedlol

My old school didn't like what I did so I changed schools

the old principal said I wouldn't get to any unis lol

got into oxford

[burnt escarp]

What’s your major

[wicked imp]

😤

[wicked imp]

CS

[meager isle]

lmao

[burnt escarp]

Oh i see

[twilit hinge]

wait if u got into oxford

[wicked imp]

lmao 😭

[twilit hinge]

why are u applying to other places

[wicked imp]

I don't like the uk so I'm testing my luck with us unis

[twilit hinge]

ah alr that makes sense

[wicked imp]

Now i regret applying to Neu cuz I got my decision a few days ago

[twilit hinge]

eh it got no supps so u didnt regret wasting much time

just the money

also ur class of 2028

lmao

[burnt escarp]

Bro prolly graduating college earlier too dw

[wicked imp]

I mean I wouldn't choose NEU over oxford 😭

[twilit hinge]

honestly so true

[wicked imp]

depends in the uk you can't do that but in the us I think you can

[meager isle]

plus applying as international is throwing darts blindfolded so i don’t see why not

[burnt escarp]

:(

[grizzled bough]

I got fee waiver

[meager isle]

even for US citizens it’s so random 💀

[grizzled bough]

Through email

[twilit hinge]

noice

[grizzled bough]

How much are you paying per year coa

[wicked imp]

yeah I didn't apply to Stanford cuz 100k usd is hell of alot and I don't want to go through the hassle of financial documentation cuz I'll get barely any

[twilit hinge]

uhhh not sure but prob near 70k

I got some scholarships

[grizzled bough]

That’s insane

[meager isle]

is the US you can graduate early but like just have fun during ur 4 years

[wicked imp]

I only applied to Harvard, Princeton, Yale Cornell and Columbia and then some other top unis

[twilit hinge]

Yea its high but I can pay it back with co-op money too

[burnt escarp]

@twilit hinge u got into neu?

[twilit hinge]

and my parents are paying majority so is ok

[twilit hinge]

yes

[grizzled bough]

280k wtfff

[burnt escarp]

Nice

[grizzled bough]

How much just curious

[twilit hinge]

I already can pay off rn

[wicked imp]

yeah that's what I wanna do tbf I would focus on other stuff and take a break

[trim edge]

what were your stats?

[twilit hinge]

90%

I made enough from my personal business to pay off it entirely

but my parents wanna pay it for me so I can put my money into other investments

[grizzled bough]

252k?

[wicked imp]

NEU Co Op is good but for CS its gonna be competitive af to land internships if your intl

[twilit hinge]

uhhh idk if IM allowed to say, but decent stats

[grizzled bough]

What’s your business

[twilit hinge]

Im not intl

[trim edge]

dm?

[twilit hinge]

game

[grizzled bough]

You made 300k+ from your business?

[twilit hinge]

sure

[twilit hinge]

yea

[grizzled bough]

What’s your game

[twilit hinge]

I cant say

its gonna dox me

[grizzled bough]

Can you dm me

[burnt escarp]

Damn why yall so curious

[grizzled bough]

I’m so curious

[wicked imp]

relying on Co Op solely though is a bit of a risk but if you're geniunely good I don't see why not

[wicked imp]

noice

[twilit hinge]

Im not fully reyling on it

im there genuinly to get experience

but it does make decent back to contribute back to tuition

[meager isle]

5 years of college right there 🫠

[wicked imp]

Northeastern research is quite good tbh

[twilit hinge]

aint that the plus one

[grizzled bough]

Dude that’s crazy how do you make that much money from one game

[meager isle]

i wanna do 3 co ops so year +1 more year

[twilit hinge]

Some crazy kids

just paying

[grizzled bough]

Is it pay to win?

or free to play

[twilit hinge]

Some through Roblox, others through steam

its f2p

but u can be p2w

if u buy products

[burnt escarp]

So p2w

Lol

[wicked imp]

roblox makes barely anything steam probably makes most of it

[grizzled bough]

Why do you need to go to college

[twilit hinge]

nah u can still get leaderboard tops

[meager isle]

which roblox game

[grizzled bough]

Then

[burnt escarp]

Oh ok

[twilit hinge]

its not super reliable income

plus degree would be a good safety belt

[grizzled bough]

It has to be like the #1 game of all time

In Roblox

[twilit hinge]

nah

[grizzled bough]

300k is wild

[twilit hinge]

u can make 100k in a month with roblox

then suddenly drop to 0

its super unexpected based on market trends

[burnt escarp]

U’d be suprised, they actually make a lot on roblox

[wicked imp]

My friend and I have this popular game on roblox and it generated tons of robux that was barely a few thousand bucks

[twilit hinge]

yea u need to be top 10 games

to generate stable income

[meager isle]

just get content creators on youtube to play

[twilit hinge]

like for example bloxburg was sold

for 200M

its value is close to that

[wicked imp]

ah there are tons of transactions in that game

[twilit hinge]

they sorta sell lmao

[meager isle]

does that make adopt me 500M 💀

[twilit hinge]

Yes, dev products

[twilit hinge]

12.1 b robux I believe

[burnt escarp]

https://tenor.com/view/sponge-bob-imagination-rainbow-gif-12759496

[twilit hinge]

yea if u wanna just bait kids to play just sneak dev products

[wicked imp]

our game is new ofc but the transactions aren't that much so barely anything is made of of it

[wicked imp]

lol

[burnt escarp]

i used to play roblox in 2016 or something but they took down my favourite game

[twilit hinge]

which game

[burnt escarp]

ripull games

[twilit hinge]

While Roblox is fun to make games, I would tell developers to never rely off of it as stable income

[twilit hinge]

ah I love those minigames

[burnt escarp]

used to play it with my friends all the time

[burnt escarp]

No its not ripull minigames

Just ripull games

Its different

[twilit hinge]

the sims?

[meager isle]

tbf, roblox like as long as you make really good parodies of current popular games people will play cause majority of roblox is little kids that can’t run the actual game lol

[burnt escarp]

What

[meager isle]

like if u make a lethal company remix in roblox rn it’ll generate hella income

[twilit hinge]

there was this group that made bunch of simualtors

idk if that was ripull

[twilit hinge]

then u get dmcaed

and then u lose all ur money

💀

[meager isle]

you’d have to parody it

[twilit hinge]

yea

[meager isle]

and add other stuff

[twilit hinge]

but thats only short term income

like squid game

ik the top squid game made prob around 50k usd max

and then nothing now

and also roblox tos is making it harder to promote games

[meager isle]

you can also just make games surrounded the most popular genre, like back when battle royal was poppin everyone was making games around it

[twilit hinge]

they removed ads, and u have to pay for in game ads, algoritihm, its basically a terrible market to release games rn or ever in the future unless they change

[twilit hinge]

oh ye strucid

[meager isle]

strucid, island royale

[twilit hinge]

yea

See the thing is u realize those games did so well back then

but look at today they're just quiet down

[wicked imp]

Cities skylines is currently the only game I play every now and then 💀

[twilit hinge]

its just hard to keep a game in top page unless you have a notable reputation such as big games

[meager isle]

if they could be like arsenal then it would be alive again lol

[twilit hinge]

thats why I dont wanna stay in Roblox developing, its way too saturated, and terrible algorithm

[meager isle]

like how has counterblox not been DMCAed 💀 it’s the same mechanics as csgo

[twilit hinge]

Yes, and tbh midnight told me she/he didn't want to even update

they were so unmotivated

so they just hired some newbie devs to take over

[twilit hinge]

nah it dont got same mechanics

[wicked imp]

I noticed that roblox pushes the games that make them the most money to the top now and the actual good games are almost not on the main page

[meager isle]

most fps games just release new cosmetics and the community will be happy

[twilit hinge]

tbh I think even rolve got to talk with valve

[twilit hinge]

yea but now today kids want more

more and more

its impossible to satisfy

[twilit hinge]

Yes this is the problem

[meager isle]

yeah like how jailbreak became just half pay to win

💀

[twilit hinge]

even the up and coming arent even correct anymore

they are old games

[twilit hinge]

yea honestly that game changed roblox

so its prob never gonna die as long as they keep updating

Im gonna prob create one more game on Roblox before I go to college

if it gets demolished by Roblox algorithm IM leaving this company

[wicked imp]

this led me and my friend to legit copy the same game assets and make like multiple games that are similar

[twilit hinge]

yea thats common

but the problem is community can notice and start dislking ur game

which would lower ur new incomer rate

[meager isle]

add voice chat 😭😭 solves half ur problems

[twilit hinge]

Tbh I would make that type of game but I think its already becoming saturated

[wicked imp]

Legit at this point the whole system is so stupid he got a partnership with mrbeast 💀 cuz he has a semi famous youtube channel and now we're making a dumb game where there's a beast that hunts people and he wants to see a working prototype

[meager isle]

rn horror games still dominate

like mimic and doors

[twilit hinge]

It's mainly tiktok games

that dominate

Roblox engine is also not up to par with unreal and unity

[wicked imp]

south pacific roblox 💀 is def best marketed bad game ever

[twilit hinge]

nah brookhaven

that game is even worse

and somehow still up there

[wicked imp]

oh god its just an OD haven

[meager isle]

i feel like

if you make a game

that has ranks and will have like periodic rank resets

it’ll keep the audience

[twilit hinge]

Doesnt

Its dumb kids will get bored eventually

We had rebirth system in one of our simulator games

so people can regrind ranks

the game eventaully died out despite updates

[wicked imp]

Phantom forces is a good example of this failing

[meager isle]

ik 😭, and it just became pay to win asw

[wicked imp]

It was such a great game

[twilit hinge]

yup

the owner gave me some random plushie bruh

[wicked imp]

Do you know zynth

[twilit hinge]

and it does one shot

[twilit hinge]

nah I know someone else

in the team

he taught me about raspberry pi too

[meager isle]

did they also give you a airpod shotgun

[twilit hinge]

nah

just a kawaii golden plushie

[wicked imp]

lmao

[meager isle]

i was in a game with a guy running with airpod shotgun and crane 😭😭

[twilit hinge]

lol

[wicked imp]

This is the funniest thing I've heard today

[twilit hinge]

the sodacan gun is also fun

u just randomly fire soda cans at people

and it can one shot

[wicked imp]

I remember they had this addition to your sniper with that phone

[twilit hinge]

yes

[meager isle]

ballistic tracker

[wicked imp]

damn so it became arsenal 😭

Oh also for some reason I think what led to its downfall is how they tried making the game cater for mobile users

and alot of cheaters would just shoot you when you spawn

[twilit hinge]

every fps game has hackers tbh

[meager isle]

roblox just has bad anti cheat

[twilit hinge]

yea

[meager isle]

as bad as valve anti cheat

[twilit hinge]

I mean roblox is now colalboarting with synpase tho

so rip them nooby hackers

it should decreasce most hackers but there still be some

[meager isle]

even valorant anti cheat doesn’t work that well

[twilit hinge]

honestly valorant anticheat is better than roblox

but yea u cant stop all

[wicked imp]

bruh this reminds me of joining that one game a few months ago called the hood i thin

think

most toxic game ever

[meager isle]

people fly in that game with cheats lol

[wicked imp]

people were running so fast

[twilit hinge]

lmaooo

I just wished I was able to make a game that can keep 10k consistent players

cause thats when u can literally just chill for life

u make enough from 10k players

[meager isle]

cant u also just apply and try to get a job at some game corp

[twilit hinge]

game corp is honestly brutal

they make u work crazy hours

especially triple As

[meager isle]

https://tenor.com/view/riot-employee-gif-26440842

[twilit hinge]

lmao

[wicked imp]

Not always cuz you gotta deal with more bug fixes and people using cheats

[twilit hinge]

well yes

that is easy to work with

thats what coeptus did with bloxburg

but to reach his level requires huge luck

and no one has his level of luck

U could make like 10k a month in roblox, and then the next year 0 dollars

that swhy I didnt want to keep pursuing this, but still wanted to go into CS with a more eased life without kids whining about updates 24/7

[meager isle]

seems like ur gonna have to make a cringe RP game for tweens

[wicked imp]

yeah

[twilit hinge]

ong bruh

I got no experience and wouldnt invest my time to make that 💀

[meager isle]

WHAT IS THIS 😹

[twilit hinge]

💀

[white bison]

unless u made adopt me, ur not gonna survive in Roblox dev

[twilit hinge]

pretty much

even adopt me devs are suffering

[white bison]

no way 21k r playing this

[white bison]

what why

[twilit hinge]

since the game is not makingas much before, layoffs are happening

devs are required more responbilities

[meager isle]

the audience is shifting

[twilit hinge]

updates are becoming more persistent to keep the game alive

[white bison]

oh that’s wild

[wicked imp]

I run a SaaS business and trust me just cuz its not a game doesn't mean that you wouldn't constantly have to worry about other admin stuff like spammers, bots, people reversing credit card transactions, people trying to sue you for no reason and it's a nightmare

[twilit hinge]

roblox audience has become anime and horror

[meager isle]

what is there to update tho

[white bison]

phhh yeah

[white bison]

new pets

[twilit hinge]

o lawd

I made adopt me pets in blender

it is not fun at all

[white bison]

I can’t get behind Roblox dev

[twilit hinge]

dont ana keep learning what ur doing rn

[meager isle]

is the capibara next

[white bison]

lmaoo ik but like when I was younger I wanted to make a game so badly

[twilit hinge]

[twilit hinge]

honestly we all did

[white bison]

I think my sis told me there r male unicorns or sum

[twilit hinge]

and then once u realized the relaity

[wicked imp]

I had to ban india from making any transactions cuz of one bad guy trying to reverse payments and use the software

[wicked imp]

a whole country just cuz of a single guy

[meager isle]

how would you distinguish between a male and a female one 💀

[white bison]

it’s like not a good ui

[wicked imp]

lmao

[twilit hinge]

oh its not just ui

[white bison]

idkkk that’s why kids play it

[meager isle]

roblox cosmetics also get weirder everyday lol

[burnt escarp]

oh damn yall still tallking bout roblox

[twilit hinge]

yea ugc is now oepn to more people

so I could make anything and post to the marketplace

[white bison]

yeah true

ik it got better now tho

[twilit hinge]

like if u want a stupid hat I can amke it rn and give it to u guys to wear

[wicked imp]

its the equivalent of skibidi toilet brain rot but just in a game format

[twilit hinge]

they just figured out hwo to smooth splicing

💀

[meager isle]

forget making a unique hat, just slap a png

[white bison]

lmfaooo

[twilit hinge]

yea like what is this bruh

shouldve kept ugc more limited

now we got bunch of weirdos posting this

[wicked imp]

roblox is deteriorating 💀

[white bison]

broikr it’s like brain rot

[meager isle]

can you make a dominus, i cant afford the real ones

[white bison]

lmfao

[twilit hinge]

I would but roblox would kill me

cause it would look to osimilar

💀

[meager isle]

r u sure cause this exists

[twilit hinge]

they cant get rid of all

[white bison]

I think it’s bc they have a star code and a brand

[twilit hinge]

^ that too

roblox is also corrupted

with like game owners

taht are successful

[wicked imp]

Yeah it stays up for a few weeks or months but gets taken down

usually

[twilit hinge]

yup

cause people eventually report

especially the traders

💀

[meager isle]

they done turnd the dominus into a gun

[twilit hinge]

bazooka

[twilit hinge]

yea i really dont know whats roblox anymore

[wicked imp]

Nah its also roblox aswell I had a really dead game with a pikachu model I created and roblox tracked it down and removed it

[twilit hinge]

wtf LOL

[wicked imp]

💀 bootleg dominus crazy

bro I put a photo of sambankman fried lol

[meager isle]

since when did custom stuff become dominus

[wicked imp]

he got banned too

[twilit hinge]

ugc doodoos

[wicked imp]

[twilit hinge]

lol

[wicked imp]

How can I add images onto here

or is it not allowed

[meager isle]

when ur mom says we have dominus at home

[wicked imp]

that stuff is "diabolical"

[junior echo]

yo is this a bit excessive in terms of absceneces

[stark pendant]

Yes 💀

[twilit hinge]

bro ik u got in but dont let senioritis kill u man 💀

[meager isle]

at my school

25 days of absence is auto fail

[twilit hinge]

our is 10 a semester

we got a kid with 108 tho

he doesnt care lmao

[lofty wren]

how would he graduate tho??

[twilit hinge]

he'll find a way

he doesnt really care about school

but he is a legend for being an absolute stock demon

[lofty wren]

how much has he made lol

[languid sluice]

imagine

We fail if we get over 5 unexcused

[shut smelt]

damn we 12

[twilit hinge]

a lot

[languid sluice]

It's the most annoying policy

[lofty wren]

for us it's 10 per year

[languid sluice]

Ours is 10 a year but separated into 5 a sem

[twilit hinge]

damn

ours also include unexcused tardies

[languid sluice]

Like you telling me I could have an A but miss a week and I just fail

It's so annoying

[lofty wren]

for us, 3 tardies is 1 absence

[languid sluice]

Same

[lofty wren]

which state do you go to school?

[languid sluice]

It sucks cause you'll get marked tardy for being like 20 seconds late when our school is so overpopulated that we literally

[twilit hinge]

ours is 5 equal one abscen

[languid sluice]

Can't get to places in time

[twilit hinge]

so far I have 4 this semester which is about to end

so Im chilling

[languid sluice]

South Carolina

[lofty wren]

okay, i go to school in nj

for the first time we got a snow day today

[wicked imp]

Bro last year I got 60 on my report for the last term

cuz of medical issues

[tired meteor]

me but then the portal had a portfolio which required it's own ps 💀

[white bison]

uhm how do i do a personal statement for the portfolio 😭

[tired meteor]

it's basically a why major+why college

[white bison]

again?!?!

wait there was no supplement

oh yay

[bright dome]

mfw didn’t snow enough in my part of nj for a snow day

[light bone]

when does this shit come out

ea

[tired meteor]

who knows

ed came out taylor swifts birthday but her birthday isn't for another year 😔

[rough holly]

least obsessed swiftie

[meager isle]

does anyone know for ED fin aid, do they email the finalised award after FAFSA is processed?

[twilit hinge]

prob

or they update ur app portal

[meager isle]

@twilit hinge mod in training yoooooooo

crazy

[twilit hinge]

yuh

[tired meteor]

I WANT DECISIONS RAJJSJKXKWKZKKAKA

northeastern accept me ily

[rich gulch]

If only Northeastern came out sooner omg

[dense dove]

are decisions coming tmr?

ppl r talking abt it

[shut smelt]

they said by February 15, i don't think it will be this early?

[woeful fern]

i think they said dec 31 for ed and it came on 13th thats why we're expecting early

[kind kernel]

im pre sure its near the end of jan

[meager isle]

for ED

they have to release that early

cause of winter break

all the dates are “by” so yes most likely will come before the day it’s listed

last year they released like Jan 30th, but this year applications have risen again so… do not expect anything

[twilit hinge]

^

[limpid venture]

how extreme is northeastern yield prot 😭

[meager isle]

not that extreme tbh

[limpid venture]

huh ok

i thought acceptance rate was like <5% n they reject a bunch of overqualified students/??

am i misinformed

[meager isle]

no but, if you think about it. 100k applicants and majority of the student body is made of ED kids

you still have 85k+ apps to go through that are spread through out EA and Rd

would there be no chance that over qualified students get rejected???

[limpid venture]

ig

[meager isle]

simply every school can not just accept every super qualified kids. not only is it cause admissions look at ur app holistically it’s also cause of space

[mossy drift]

i did not tour or do any virtual event for NEU do they look at demonstrated interest 😩

is it too late to do one tho..?

[twilit hinge]

for ea yea

rd maybe idk

you can cook up a fire why essay and upload to the misc portal

but dont guarantee they'll read it

[woeful fern]

i had a dream last night that northeastern released decisions

they in fact did not

breaking hearts since 1898

[mossy drift]

Oohhh ill think about this

[shadow arrow]

WHEN WILL EA1 COME OUT

[woeful fern]

no one knows💀

[shadow arrow]

my friend for business got it in first week of december ffs

[woeful fern]

that was ED i think

ED got it on 13th dec or sm

[shut smelt]

any speculations on the ea decision release date?

[twilit hinge]

late jan

could be next week potentially but could be delayed due to high volume of applicants

[shut smelt]

i hope it's next friday, same day as umich and uw madison to end my misery

[echo folio]

Hi when do u guys think this is coming out

lol sorry just read above

I think UNC and Gtech are next Friday so I wouldn’t be surprised if this is too

[noble stag]

when is northeastern coming out for ea?

[light bone]

last year was jan 28th i think

and i doubt it'll be earlier

[light bone]

yo fr?

i thought it was feb

[twilit hinge]

Well based on last yrar

Year

Just check wed, thurs, friday next week

Those are usual days known for release

[meager isle]

they do look at demonstrated interest, but it will not make up for essays, ECs, or Academics so

don’t stress too much abt it

[meager isle]

that’s the “By” date

which means it can come anytime before that given date

[light bone]

no i know this

but ive heard its coming first week of feb

bcos last year was feb 28th and this year has a lot more applicants

thats what i heard atleast i mean

[twilit hinge]

This is also possible

[meager isle]

i wouldn’t rely on what people say unless a northeastern rep or ao told you so

[twilit hinge]

There’s estimated 60000 applications

[light bone]

not relying, just tryna make a prediction

[twilit hinge]

Thats all we know

[light bone]

or it could also be like

[twilit hinge]

And by feb 15

[light bone]

29th week onwards

[twilit hinge]

Just know when u cant make changes ur application portal

Like major and stuff

Then its getting close

[meager isle]

tbh

that’s prob when they made a decision

they just haven’t released

lol

[twilit hinge]

Prob

Lmao

Bruh they waited until swift’s birthday

Yo do u think we could request our application review

Idk if this school lets students see

[meager isle]

like for rolling school for example when i got my Upitt letter back in november it said they made their decision 3 days after i submitted lol

[meager isle]

it’s tricky

you kinda have to demand the school

[twilit hinge]

Damn

[meager isle]

but i think you can only demand when you’re actually enrolled

[twilit hinge]

Prob

[meager isle]

so for us we can’t request it rn

[twilit hinge]

I gotta keep my grades up

I think I failed my calc midterm but I need a 40 to get a C+

[meager isle]

is it curved that high?

[twilit hinge]

Its curved to calc bc

Like ap way

So a 60% is a 5 or A

50% B

Etc

[meager isle]

oh word

[twilit hinge]

So to get a 40% i have to get 10 points out of 55

Aint no way Im getting that

[lofty wren]

y’all are so lucky

ours is graded face value

[meager isle]

i only know physics and bio does that curve at our school, every teacher does a measly 10% curve 💀

[twilit hinge]

Rip

While calc is curved

Stat is not curved at all

Like 0%

U get what u get

And it sucks

[meager isle]

stat we have a square root curve

[lofty wren]

my stat teacher gives us extra credit for doing cross words and puzzles based on the current topic

[twilit hinge]

Idk how that works but ik others have that too

[lofty wren]

but like it’s 2 points on a 30 point test

[meager isle]

it makes sense cause we have a quiz every week and like 2 tests per month

💀

every chapter is a quiz

[lofty wren]

let’s say you got a 81, your grade is now a 90

[twilit hinge]

💀

[meager isle]

yes

[twilit hinge]

Oh interesting

[light bone]

how is that a c+

💀

[twilit hinge]

30/40

[lofty wren]

we had that on one test in physics

[lofty wren]

75%

[twilit hinge]

I hate that point value

Yea but wuth lil percent

77

[lofty wren]

oh yeah

[twilit hinge]

Its almost 31/40

[lofty wren]

that’s why c+

[twilit hinge]

Im tryharding this semester to see if I get valedictorian

Cause this is last semester

And then next one starting next week dont even matter

[wild token]

so when we thinking EA coming out?

[twilit hinge]

u can guess

yea drop your guys predictions under let's see who gets it lol

[blazing scaffold]

This friday

[wild token]

jan 31st

idk tho

I REALLY HOPE ITS SOONNNNN

do yall know if scholarships will be out in the decisions letter or we have to wait?

[junior scroll]

Jan 29

[wild token]

yea thats actually plausible based on last year

[noble stag]

wait is early action coming out feb 15 or earlier? not ed btw im asking abt ea

[junior scroll]

by

[noble stag]

when does majority of them role out tho like historically speaking?

[junior scroll]

of end jan ish i think

like basically feb

[noble stag]

ahh good so hopefully not mid feb i hate waiting

especially after getting deferred from usc lol

[junior scroll]

rip

good luck

!!

[noble stag]

tytyy u too best of luckk

[meager isle]

it’s supposed to come with your decision

[wild token]

ok bless

im impatient!!

[simple lantern]

the decisions are taking so long i dont even care anymore

[junior scroll]

real

[twilit hinge]

Bro ur goin to tulane 💀

[simple lantern]

yeah exactly idec anymore about this school

[twilit hinge]

ll

lol

[junior echo]

NEU: best for stem BC: Best for buisness BU: Good at stem and buisness but doesnt excel in either (outside of crazy ridicoulous like harvard mit)

[tired meteor]

i predict Jan 29 3 pm est

[junior scroll]

^ i think 6pm

[echo folio]

I think 26th at 7

[hushed ginkgo]

anyone here online i really need help asdfghjkl

[tired meteor]

hey

[hushed ginkgo]

heyy can i ping u to the app-questions channel i need help

[twilit hinge]

Also for those applying ea, lemme know if u can’t update ur major anymore

[meager isle]

hello!

[meager isle]

i can ask my friend this week

if u want

[hushed ginkgo]

do u know when the hard deadline is for srar rd? i already finished it but it was 2 weeks after rd deadline so im worried :((

[meager isle]

there is no “hard deadline” more of just submit SRAR asap. which is as soon as you apply

has the SRAR status synced with your northeastern portal?

takes up to 2 weeks to like sync but i wouldn’t stress it unless they email you

[hushed ginkgo]

tbh i didnt really get a lot of updates from neu but i finished my srar for nyu before jan 15 but i just got to sync my srar to neu this weekend 🥲

[meager isle]

you should be good, RD won’t come out till spring

[bright dome]

its still letting me change mine

[hushed ginkgo]

oh ok thanks!! also is that a toothless plushieeee 🩷

[meager isle]

no problem!! yes it is a toothless plush lol

[hushed ginkgo]

also sorry if this is a really dumb additional question about the english proficiency thing, but im an international applicant (studies outside the US) so is it really fine if i waive my proof of proficiency? i thought unis in general want to recieve english test results from international students

[meager isle]

mmm, i’m ngl i can’t help u much with that as i was admitted as domestic

i’d ask ur counselor tho

imo it seems fine if ur able to waive it

[tired meteor]

sure

[hushed ginkgo]

wait @tired meteor can u answer this as well

[tired meteor]

you'll have to check with the uni policies but if you've studied in an English medium you should be able to waive

[hushed ginkgo]

one of my other schools automatically waived my proof of english proficiency without notifying me too

[meager isle]

if they automatically do it, hey it’s convenient

don’t think schoools would try to scam you lmao

[hushed ginkgo]

@tired meteor

[hushed ginkgo]

wdym by scam me hahah

like rn i feel like i shouldnt have wasted money on ielts if they were just going to waive my proof of english proficiency hahah

[meager isle]

like making you send the official scores lol

[hushed ginkgo]

ohhh yeah haha

[meager isle]

true lmao

[tired meteor]

Have you studied in an English medium

[meager isle]

i think yeah u can get it waived based on point 3

[tired meteor]

If so you can waive it and it won't be a problem

[meager isle]

@hushed ginkgo

[hushed ginkgo]

yes since elementary school

[hushed ginkgo]

ok i'll have it waived, thanks !!

[hushed ginkgo]

yep! i'll waive it, thanks :)))

[meager isle]

saving money!!!

[hushed ginkgo]

wait u also mentioned you neu admitted you as domestic? are you in neu rn? or still in hs senior year?

[meager isle]

hs senior

i applied ED

:p

[hushed ginkgo]

oh you got into neu ed?? 🥳

[meager isle]

yes! 😎

[hushed ginkgo]

omg congrats!!!! 👏

[meager isle]

thank u!!

goodluck on ur apps btw

[hushed ginkgo]

thank u thank u

[twilit hinge]

alr was just curious

[twilit hinge]

ok thanks

[simple frigate]

Bro can neu come out soon

These guys taking forever

[open lynx]

y’all do we update SRAR for early action peeps

[twilit hinge]

yes

but its kinda late if ur doing it now

[open lynx]

my mid year shit just came out

[twilit hinge]

Oh

then that's different

U can update ur srar, and then after call them

like explaining it just came out

[open lynx]

okay cool thanks!

[twilit hinge]

they're really nice and will understand

I made a typo on my csa utting advanced for the a

and they were like ur chillin 💀

[blazing scaffold]

Wait do we have to put mid year report for early action

In the srar

[twilit hinge]

its not needed

but u can do it in case

they only request if its regular decision

[blazing scaffold]

Nah ima get in trust

[twilit hinge]

[blazing scaffold]

If I get deferred I’m transferring to ed 2 instead of rd

[twilit hinge]

wait u can still do that?

[blazing scaffold]

Yeah I think so

My counselor said so and they used to work at admissions for northeastern

[simple frigate]

That’s sick

What did she say abt ur app

I wish my counselor used to be a AO

That would be cool

[twilit hinge]

that is actually so fortunate lmao

[blazing scaffold]

She said I had a good chance for ed

But idk about ea

My schools counselors are really pessimistic because they don’t want students to get upset cuz they expected to get in

[simple frigate]

Yeah same with mine

[meager isle]

wait

why didn’t u just apply ED2 instead then

[blazing scaffold]

Cuz I wanna see my other early actions first

Ed 2 is worst case scenario if my other eas don’t work out

[meager isle]

i see

[twilit hinge]

@meager isle aye are u attending the housing thing tn

[meager isle]

i won’t be able to

is it a zoom meeting or some

[twilit hinge]

prob

imma let u know if theres any housing update like white hall

that shit better be back cause I dont wanna be so far from campus in a hotel

[meager isle]

okay thanks 🙏

[meager isle]

😭😭😭

[twilit hinge]

they got cockroaches there

so i really don't wanna end up there

[stuck sandal]

what do i do if i forgot my neu username

[twilit hinge]

ig use ur email to reset

or call them

[twilit hinge]

Honors cannot room with non-honors
There's student government for each building, called Hall Council lol
Move-in days can go from late august all the way up to labor day
Meal plan level req is based on our type of housing
@meager isle das it

everything else we kinda already know

[mellow crystal]

when are decisions finna come out?

[wild token]

i’m praying for friday

[twilit hinge]

start checking on wed at 7

it maybe these three days

[meager isle]

up to labor day is crazy

[twilit hinge]

cause they had to comply with like the uh

government

[meager isle]

state?

[twilit hinge]

yea

so they don't like clog the street, I think she said near or latest labor day

might change

she didnt answer my question bout white hall :/

[meager isle]

honors not being able to room with non honors 😭

[twilit hinge]

yea

they isolated from the pack

but ig they could rejoice 2nd year

[viscid zenith]

waiting for ea decisions

[twilit hinge]

[junior scroll]

same knowing i couldnt afford neu either

[meager isle]

[inland crag]

EA came out the 30th last year

just an fyi

[viscid zenith]

dope

[open lynx]

real

[shut smelt]

what's the possibility of it coming out on fri?

[cedar saddle]

0

[radiant snow]

Yo I applied here with a 3.85 GPA and went test optional(I didn't send them my 1170). Do I got a shot?

[twilit hinge]

We dont do chances here but if you went test optional with that score its a good choice

Just hope for the best

[meager isle]

yah

they be more holistic

[grave leaf]

People on Zee Mee are saying that applications for EA are beginning to release

Can anyone confirm this?

[swift torrent]

Idts

Unless someone here has proof

[tired meteor]

can you show?

[swift torrent]

Block out their info btw (sorta implied but…)

[grave leaf]

It was just someone saying their friend was just rejected for EA

Then a few people checked and their apps were still processing, so I think their friend might’ve lied

[tired meteor]

lol why lie you're rejected

like saying you're accepted makes sense but 💀😭

[grave leaf]

That’s why I was thinking it might not have been a lie

Since it’s stupid to lie about being rejected

[tired meteor]

yeah

[trim edge]

What time are decisions?

Also are they confirmed for Friday?

[light bone]

not confirmed

speculation

[trim edge]

I see

[simple frigate]

About how much time before the decisions are posted does northeastern say

Like what was it in last years

[radiant snow]

Oh I didn't know they were holistic

That's a little weird

[meager isle]

they get over 96k applicants lol

[radiant snow]

Ur mom has over 96k applicants(pls don't ban me im funny)

[meager isle]

@twilit hinge

[radiant snow]

No I applied there as a joke mostly i know I can't get in. Im also not paying 80k a year tuition

[meager isle]

most people apply for the same reason but yeah they still like take a holistic approach

[radiant snow]

Epic we shall see, gl everyone!

[trim edge]

how competitive is neu?

[twilit hinge]

hes fine 💀

just be nice berry ik admissions results are getting closer

[twilit hinge]

uhh quite competitive

[trim edge]

What’s the average sat

[coral inlet]

https://admissions.northeastern.edu/application-information/

[languid sluice]

We're approaching that time in the neu channel where mfs are gonna be speculating about the release date for 2 weeks

[rough holly]

https://tenor.com/view/trolling-trickery-we-do-a-little-trolling-cat-cat-epic-gif-21510887

[coral inlet]

😭 and no one will be calm

[trim edge]

i see

[twilit hinge]

oh ye we back

💀

just check at 7pm est for each day this week until friday

[languid sluice]

I was worried I'd get rejected on my birthday

But my birthday is a Saturday

So I'll be fine

[twilit hinge]

u got multiple acceptance ur chillin

just treat this as like any other college app

[coral inlet]

imagine it's today

[languid sluice]

Sure but it'd be the one I go to nearly for free

😭

[twilit hinge]

thats still nice

[twilit hinge]

see

like

thats what applicants for ed said lmaoo

however yea there could be a small chance, since ed was released on wednesday

can't confirm 100%

[languid sluice]

Could be Wednesday of next week

💀💀

Hell could be Wednesday Feb 14

[twilit hinge]

no way its that late

latest I think is gonna be feb 2nd

[glossy coyote]

i guess we are not going to hear today!

[twilit hinge]

its not 7pm yet

but usually counselors also get an email 1 hour earlier or before so yea

[glossy coyote]

oh fr they don't even say anything??

they just release them at 7pm and say "okay !"

[twilit hinge]

yea

[glossy coyote]

lol

[twilit hinge]

they only send to counselors early

and then 15min later

they send u an email

[glossy coyote]

it's only jan 24 though

[twilit hinge]

and instagram they post its out

[glossy coyote]

i think def it'll be another week or two

[twilit hinge]

yea it is early

i would either expect htis friday or next wed

its one of these two days

be surprising if they pushed it early to today

[glossy coyote]

wasnt last year "before feb 1" but this year is "before feb 15" ?

[twilit hinge]

yes

thats what happened to ed

dec 15th to jan1st

[glossy coyote]

oh but it came out same time?

as usual

[twilit hinge]

one week after

[glossy coyote]

okay i understand

[twilit hinge]

on taylor swifts birthday 💀

so it might be next wed

[glossy coyote]

lmaoo

where are you committed??
