Northeastern University (2023-2024)

[twilit hinge]

they rarely release on tuesdays but it has happened

[glossy coyote]

here?

[twilit hinge]

right here

[glossy coyote]

so exciting! congrats :))

[twilit hinge]

so I'll be happy to help answer application stuff

yes ty

[glossy coyote]

yes, thank you!!!

[twilit hinge]

I'll update on you guys if there's a counselor email sent out

cause they give some interesting statistics

[coral inlet]

i have a silly question about applications 💀

[twilit hinge]

?

[coral inlet]

so NEU is not my top choice in any regard due to other schools fitting my preferences more, i'm not as worried about this as a result but:

I applied as an incoming freshman to the Northeastern University class of 2028. I applied to the College of Arts, Media, & Design, but didn't realize that there was a portfolio submission that is "highly recommended." Will I most likely get rejected due to my lack of a portfolio submission?

basically when i was applying i selected the major without noticing that there was a recommended portfolio and i didn't have time to make anything before the deadline because priorities

💀 it's stupid LMFAO

[twilit hinge]

Ok yea that portfolio is not recommended

its almost like necessary lmao for this colege

[coral inlet]

figured

[twilit hinge]

the admission counselor that visited said its recommended, but please do it

[coral inlet]

🙆

[twilit hinge]

You still have a shot cause its not required

I dont think you'll get rejected, but see if you can upload a portfolio if u get deferred

[coral inlet]

okayyy thank you!

[twilit hinge]

by feb 15th

[simple lantern]

it could be today

though I doubt it

Northeastern also is kinda of a joke now everyody know its for its shady admission practices

its becoming tufts university

no I mean them sending out fee waivers to reject more people and lower their AR to climb ranks

[twilit hinge]

yea this is prob #1 most hated university

cause of the admission lmao

but dont let that hate the school, make sure that the program fits with your interest instead of listening to others

I feel like if they made their admisisons more earlier

and like more organized

[simple lantern]

NEU Oakland is also an alternate option where u can go to the Boston Loation after ur 1st yr

[twilit hinge]

school would prob appear better

this is exactly what I did

[simple lantern]

NEU is colonizing other colleges

[twilit hinge]

but im doing math minor now

cause concentriaonts dissapear

most people end up in the nuin program

so u spend one semester

I would choose purdue

but it depends on cost

it kinda depends on your preference of location too

[simple lantern]

Purdue 100 percent

their 18th on the newest CS rankings

while Northeastern are 45th

[twilit hinge]

yea purdue cs is strong, but the problem is if u didnt apply ea

its literally impossible toget in

Oh then I would choose purdue

yea purdue is def cheaper than neu

if the locaiton works out for u then yea thats a better option

nope

purdue cs is reputable

most stem related majors in purdue are high

[manic tusk]

when r decisions out

[glossy coyote]

and it’s 7 😯

the big reveal

today or no today!

[twilit hinge]

if its today u should see ur portal entirely change

otherwise ig we wait for tomorrow

yea time to wait for tomorrow lol

[glossy coyote]

why would it be tmr? a thursday?

[twilit hinge]

its usually wed thurs fri

[glossy coyote]

ah gotcha

[twilit hinge]

i think they release thurs past years lemme hceck

Thats good

all come out at once lol

yea

I wouldve chose purdue for cs but uh location wise its so inconvinenet

like just remember if u get any bad news on friday u got purdue under ur belt which is awesome

[grave leaf]

Where does the Friday speculation come from?

[zenith siren]

hope

[junior echo]

Yo guys Umass or neu cs?

[viscid zenith]

i am NOT setting foot in oakland

hellhole

[viscid zenith]

took the throne away from usc lmfaoo

[twilit hinge]

ong

[viscid zenith]

whats the ea acceptance rate

[twilit hinge]

not sure, waiting for counselor to get stats sent

but its prob low

[viscid zenith]

yeah figured

[meager isle]

a lot of schools does what NEU does 💀 people just been on reddit too much

[shut smelt]

when did ea come out last year?

[coral inlet]

jan 28-30

[twilit hinge]

ikr they get rejected and then start throwing a fit

[meager isle]

theyre like 3 years behind lol

[twilit hinge]

the admissions?

[meager isle]

people reading off reddit

[twilit hinge]

oh

yea lmao

yo will neu check our final semseter graades

[meager isle]

plus its like, apps grow every year and they simply just cant fit 90k+ apps into a school that can only hold 20k even with a low yield lol

[twilit hinge]

i might start letting senioritis kick in

[twilit hinge]

ong there's like only 3k of us in boston

[meager isle]

my counselor told me they will only look at my final year grades to see if i graduate

[twilit hinge]

oh so it dont vene matter what u get

just u gotta graduate?

[meager isle]

pretty much

schools don’t want to recind kids

[twilit hinge]

so I can now fail my calc tests?

W

[meager isle]

😭 i mean best not to but

if you can’t prevent it dw

[twilit hinge]

They did say

dont get a C

but like idk if thats real lmao

[meager isle]

imo nah

they really don’t wanna rescind

[twilit hinge]

why not

oh well ig tuition

lmao

[simple lantern]

Coming out tmr?

[twilit hinge]

maybe who knows

Im more confident in friday than tmrw

[simple lantern]

I think it came out 28th last year

[languid sluice]

28th is a Sunday

No way In hell

[simple lantern]

Idk somewhere around that

You can look in the college confidential

[twilit hinge]

They will never release on sunday

It might be tomorrow or wed or even later

[shut smelt]

manifesting friday

[grave leaf]

Would we find out that it’s dropping the morning of?

[languid sluice]

Doubt it

Ed didn't find out till like an hour before they released

[white lily]

and that was only because of a leak iirc

[languid sluice]

Yea they sent it to counselors who then told the students

[twilit hinge]

^ Yea hopefully a nice counselor sends it again for ea

[brisk crystal]

if i get into northeastern, im unleashing my inner wolf

[shut smelt]

🐺

[mellow crystal]

Could it be tmrw

[twilit hinge]

[shut smelt]

[twilit hinge]

my calc teacher is a chiefs fan

[simple lantern]

💀

[twilit hinge]

[simple lantern]

https://tenor.com/view/lamar-jackson-ravens-baltimore-go-gif-23142681

in lamar we trust

[dusky vault]

like as a campus choice?

[simple lantern]

problem is NFL is not gonna show that since it doesn't bring them money like the cashcow that is TS

[twilit hinge]

fr

[simple lantern]

yes its a good 2nd choice campus and stuff where you can go to Boston after ur 1st yr

[twilit hinge]

me personally I would do nuin 2nd year

as 2nd choice

I mean

[simple lantern]

NEU did this as "colonialism" attempt

[twilit hinge]

because its one semester

oakland is a whole year

[simple lantern]

westward expansion

[twilit hinge]

yea

they got that westward

[dusky vault]

yeah i chose nu.in/boston as first or second choice (idk) and then global

[twilit hinge]

if chiefs win, I want lions to win

[simple lantern]

I thought the script was already in the super bowl logo

[vale seal]

i chose all bc i just want to get in 😭

[twilit hinge]

thats what I thougjht

[dusky vault]

oakland is like, the other side of the country from where i am rn 😭 but apparentyl they my put me there for .io anywais

[twilit hinge]

but who knows

[simple lantern]

oakland aint that bad

[twilit hinge]

its not bda

[simple lantern]

idk why people shit on it so hard

[twilit hinge]

even tho people say it is

yea

[dusky vault]

thats so real 😭 😭

[twilit hinge]

I havent even visited boston ye

lmao

[dusky vault]

huh really? i mean now that i think abt it cali is like, a place id wanna visit lol

[twilit hinge]

Imma prob go to the admit day in march

[dusky vault]

ooo i alr visited boston! toured around there, it's really cool, very glass

[simple lantern]

bro SF has about as many homless people as Oakland

people shit on it cause it doesn't have "siLICON ValleY"

[twilit hinge]

pretty much cali: Golden bridge, bay area

everywhere else in cali: shit

thats what people think

[simple lantern]

and LA

and SD

[twilit hinge]

and honestly wish they were more open-minded to understand how bad is bad

things were

yea la and sd

[simple lantern]

if its not SF, LA or SD

that they think its shit

[twilit hinge]

yea

[dusky vault]

im honestly just scared to find out my decision either way

if i get in then i hv to deal with financial aid, if i dont im not going-

[twilit hinge]

tmrw we'll see

if we get that decision

otherwise I think its jan 31st

[dusky vault]

honestly thats fine lol

gives me motivation to apply to the other schools i hv to do 😭 n reach out to deferrals ahead of time

[shut smelt]

it could always be Feb 15 🥹

[dusky vault]

honestly i might just forget until i get pinged in here lollllll

protect my sanity

[twilit hinge]

yea ed people here got delulu about the dates

lmao

until I remembe rseeing that counselor email and was like shit is this real or fake

and then turns out it was real the moment I reloaded at 7

[dusky vault]

how many days early was it anyways?

[twilit hinge]

14days+

it came out dec 13th

swifties birthday 💀

[dusky vault]

[brisk crystal]

Only real alpha wolves are getting into northwestern 🐺

[graceful helm]

[shut smelt]

[meager isle]

[meager isle]

😯

[tired meteor]

im making one for all my decisions lol

bro my case western is so sad

like oh i got in ok

[shut smelt]

[tired meteor]

😭😭😭😭

[grizzled bough]

[grizzled bough]

i have a 3.5 tho

so i might b screwed

[simple lantern]

when do northeastern ea decisions come out?!

[wild token]

perhaps today

or a week from today

[simple lantern]

they took way too long

[twilit hinge]

Ngl it aint even that long cause other colleges ea are coming out today

[prime gale]

Anyone know for sure when tf the decisions coming

[tired meteor]

those are mostly public tho

like public taking time makes sense

what's northeastern doing huh

[grizzled bough]

Isn’t neu coming out Feb 15th?

Thats what it said on the portal

[tired meteor]

By Feb 15th

But for ed it said by jan 1st

And they got it dec 13

btw what are your 9A damn

[grizzled bough]

OSU, Purdue, ASU, MSU, UMass, Fordham, IU, Bing, Rutgers

[tired meteor]

Congrats! cs/business major?

[grizzled bough]

Business major yea lol

How’d u know

[tired meteor]

idk i mean Purdue umass are goated for cs while iu and Fordham are great for business so i just guessed

[twilit hinge]

Idk 60000 apps kinda takes a while

[light bone]

i could do it faster fosho

[twilit hinge]

Sheep can do it a night

[light bone]

real

shit is easy

[mellow crystal]

could it be today perhaps?

[quasi breach]

60000 apps with no essays to read

[twilit hinge]

Ur common app one gotta be insane

[twilit hinge]

Possible

I’ll check back at 6pm est if I get any counselor info

But expect 7pm for official release time

[mellow crystal]

Okay

[kind kernel]

when did they release in the past 3 years

[twilit hinge]

7pm est on jan 26th

its wed, thurs, fridays

so high potential today or next wed/friday

[kind kernel]

gotcha

[graceful helm]

I feel like it isnt coming today

Let see

[quasi breach]

oh 7 pm est that’s why

[twilit hinge]

its always 7pm est

but day unknown

[round wyvern]

ooh

[vale seal]

nu admissions on ig commented 16 mins ago that ea will still be released "by february 15"

[twilit hinge]

hm still could be today

they never responded to people that asked in comments for ed

[vale seal]

yeah it was a little strange

they responsed to multiple ppls comments too

[twilit hinge]

tbh usually these accs are student ran

like the main nu page has like students sometimes covering the story

but they prob work closely with actual staff to make posts good

[vale seal]

true haven't thought abt that

[round wyvern]

why do we think it’s today again?

[quaint geyser]

ED came out early

and i think historically EA came out around this time iirc

[round wyvern]

do they historically send an email announcing when its coming out

?

[twilit hinge]

15min after admissions released

im checking at 6pm on other forums to see if counselors have sent an email about its status

[vale seal]

if decisions arent out by 7 pm today should we assume its not coming out today?

[coral inlet]

probably

[twilit hinge]

yep

[round wyvern]

7pm their time i mean?

[twilit hinge]

est

yes

i remember a counselor got an email at 6pm est and posted on a forum

[white lily]

if decisions are today then i will have gotten every one of my ea decisions on the same day

[dusky vault]

Omlll really?!

[dusky nebula]

why do ppl think its coming out today lmao

just based on last yr?

[simple lantern]

last 3 yrs

[glossy coyote]

considering northeastern ED 1 was 5 days after the norm… i’d assume EA is coming out Wed

i doubt tn

[vale seal]

plus i think they got more apps this year

[glossy coyote]

true

[meager isle]

ngl that was just cause of taylor’s birthday

they were def done a week before lol

[glossy coyote]

taylor swift??

[meager isle]

yah

[glossy coyote]

they delayed decisions for taylor swifts birthday?

[meager isle]

watch the ED release video on insta or tiktok lol

[buoyant cypress]

i think they were late anyways and decided to push it back a day or so to fit it

[meager isle]

^

[glossy coyote]

that’s lol

[buoyant cypress]

either that or they were planning for it to be later but finished early so they pushed it up

[meager isle]

it’s a sick video i ain’t complaining lol

[buoyant cypress]

lol they said by jan 1 a couple days ed came out

[meager isle]

they had to release early december anyways

cause of break

and the socials aren’t controlled by the actual AOs anyways

[blazing scaffold]

Any news on if the decisions are tonight?

[buoyant cypress]

yeah but the ao’s had to tell someone in advance so they could film and edit the video

[quasi breach]

if not in the next 30 mins prob not today

[white lily]

it ain't tonight is it

[twilit hinge]

Nothing

I dont think is the night

But check at 7

If not today I’ll see yall next tuesday or wed

[dusky vault]

I think they’ll post when things come in, they apparently did in 2020?

[twilit hinge]

that was a while ago

i usually like to look at 2022 and 2021

[dusky vault]

Yeah… true

god I’m really in a 2021 mindset 😭😭

[grizzled bough]

Why you already got in

[twilit hinge]

im moderating this channel

[mellow crystal]

hypothetically it could be in 5 minutes right

[grizzled bough]

Noooo

[glossy coyote]

yes, could

[white lily]

how the mighty have fallen

[brisk crystal]

Hypothetically it could be now

[junior scroll]

[brisk crystal]

Can someone else check theirs? I don’t feel like typing my password

[mellow crystal]

its not there

[coral inlet]

nope

[mellow crystal]

ur good

[coral inlet]

prob next week

[junior scroll]

L yikes

[twilit hinge]

it aint bad this server's comfy

[tired meteor]

7 pm est is one more hour right

[twilit hinge]

nah its right now

ig next week

[tired meteor]

oh oops

[shut smelt]

so it's next week?

anyone know what date?

[dusky vault]

Yeah add me to the tag list I’m not gonna check next week 😭😭

[kind kernel]

31? 30?

[twilit hinge]

last year was 31

[graceful helm]

Anyone doing CSSH?

[simple lantern]

hypothetically

Northeastern could become a good football program

but they will never be

[buoyant violet]

we don't have the space for a stadium nor the interest for players

[echo folio]

When do we think it’s coming out

[coral inlet]

im thinking next wed

[worldly laurel]

31st

[meager isle]

stay on top for hockey

i’m more of a lacrosse/hockey guy so

[twilit hinge]

beanpot champions 💯

[late quartz]

if i have a new award/accomplishment, can i update it using the "upload materials" part of the portal?

[meager isle]

yeah

how big is the award/accomplishment

[late quartz]

kinda rly big

[meager isle]

yeah go for it

they might see it??

not guaranteed but worth the shot

[late quartz]

only thing is the app portal says the upload materials part is for documents they request

"To submit documents that we have requested, please select the document type below and upload a Word document, PDF, or scanned image file. If we have not requested that you submit documents to us, you may disregard this."

[meager isle]

mmm i’d ask ur counsellor, but if you applied EA then don’t bother

[late quartz]

i directly emailed one of my other colleges and they took the update, but im not sure if neu will be like "lol no"

[meager isle]

they take up to a week to respond

if u applied EA ur decision may come out by that week

[simple lantern]

bro the decisions are already made

they are just finalizing people on the wiatlist and stuff im pretty sure

[meager isle]

mmmm

perhaps

i doubt they’re done with RD

[simple lantern]

not waitlist, who gets deferred

yeah they probs

dont even read it until

EA releases

[meager isle]

they’re gonna defer over 60% of the applicants anyways

gonna be like umich and usc

rip everyone that got deferred

[late quartz]

i applied ea so should if i choose to send an email, should i send it now or after ea decisions are out

cuz idk

[simple lantern]

they gotta yield rptoect

their ED was like 50 percent

[meager isle]

only after if you get defered

[simple lantern]

so their AR is extremely artificially inflated down

[meager isle]

nah ED1 was around 40%

when u add ED2 should be in the high 30s

that’s why online it says ED is 35-40ish%

[simple lantern]

yeah

also they reelase their thing super late

feb 15th

just for their likely to be a fucking deferral

[meager isle]

that’s not an official date

[simple lantern]

they should be like GT

if they are gonna do all these dumb practices

might as well compromise

by giving people a solid date timeand a countdown timer

[meager isle]

too many applicants

they get almost half the applicants northeastern gets

[meager isle]

schools just want money lol

being qualified isn’t hard

[solar prism]

when does ea come out

[lunar mortar]

probably early february

[solar prism]

also whats the acceptance rate for ea

[lunar mortar]

not sure, but my best guess would be that its probably around the same as RD since the school doesnt require any essays

[light bone]

early action

EA 23-24: ??
EA 22-23: jan 28-30th (rolling)
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)

[solar prism]

im expecting nothing

[simple frigate]

Same

[junior echo]

Expect to be shipped like a fedex package

[sour thicket]

its like 50% deferal so i dont think anyone expects anything

[dusky vault]

honestly if its a deferral im glad cuz at least theyll see my not-shit grades

just my god not a rejection

[twilit hinge]

Last year ea was a mess

because they accideitnally released some decisions

so it came out rolling awkwardly

[light bone]

oh bruh

thats bad

[twilit hinge]

yea

they released nuin over the weekend to some poeple by accident

[light bone]

i think they meant to do all on 29th/30th

[light bone]

thats so tragic

[twilit hinge]

most likely on tuesday or wednesday

[light bone]

oh wtf

i hate deferrals bro

[twilit hinge]

yea its gonna be another umich

type thing

if u get in thats epico, if not well ig dont expect much lol

[blazing scaffold]

is it possible for it to drop tonight?

or only on week days

[twilit hinge]

week days

i even doubt monday

[candid gulch]

Prob tonna release on wednesday

[meager isle]

wednesday or thursday

perhaps

[worn oriole]

the sooner the better im hoping its wed

[shut smelt]

why don't they release on mondays and tuesdays?

[twilit hinge]

no one knows lol

im saying wed or thurs too

im leaning toward wed more

[light bone]

i think its wednesday too

[coral inlet]

^^

[rich gulch]

I have the craziest feeling imma get rejected bcs I submitted my srar hella late

[normal pawn]

same

i didnt make a resume

surely they wont reject me just because of the resume right

surely

[rich gulch]

I didn't realize I had to do it I thought transcripts were automatic + I took 25 classes freshman year so it like 39 years to finish 😅

[rich gulch]

Nah prolly not

[normal pawn]

lmfao

[tired meteor]

how do you take 29 classes wtf

[rich gulch]

I go to a trade school lol

We take like 487899 classes freshman year so we can pick the shop we want to take for the next four years

I picked IT

[tired meteor]

ahhhh

[shadow mantle]

Anyone know when the decision coming out?

[lunar mortar]

It's gonna be friday im calling it.

lots of ppl say wednesday tho

[shut smelt]

will they defer a lot of ppl like umich and usc

or do they just straightup reject

[fathom depot]

bruh

not again

i’m literally getting deferred

[ember chasm]

when do the decisions come out? i was expecting them to come out w mich and the rest of them

[fathom depot]

u needed to make a resume???

dawg

[shut smelt]

i don't think it's in the requirements?

[normal pawn]

It was optional in commonapp

[tired meteor]

speculated wednesday

[empty wing]

Ok

[twilit hinge]

resume is optional

most of the time it is repetitive so not necessary

[languid sluice]

Prob defer

They like to keep that Rd AR low

If I get deferred I'm just gonna take it as a rejection

[graceful helm]

Bro got accepted to 24 schools

Actually wild

[empty wing]

they downloaded my mid year report a few days ago

u think thats evaluated?

[twilit hinge]

most likely

did u put it in ur srar too?

[empty wing]

oh i thought they wouldve made my decision already

oh yeah i did

[twilit hinge]

before it was sent or after the midyear report

[empty wing]

before

[twilit hinge]

ok they'll just use the mid year report for future to confirm u put in the grades correctly

this isnt true, but we feel like when they dont let u edit ur application anymore like its prob being evaulated or already decided

[jolly meadow]

lowk gonna start my loci already LMFAO

[twilit hinge]

💀 plan it dont fully commit to it lmaooo

[fringe abyss]

is the mid year report required if already accepted/committed?

i don't see it mentioned in the application status portal

[twilit hinge]

ur school sends

if they request

also are u a fellow cs major

[fringe abyss]

yeah

combined cs and business admin

[twilit hinge]

Nice I'll see u there this fall!

[grave leaf]

How can you tell?

[coral inlet]

it'll say at the bottom of ur portal, in "upload materials"

[grave leaf]

Thank god mine wasn’t uploaded

[slate oxide]

when i toured neu in the summer they said shit like the boston campus has a 5% acceptance rate 💀

i go to a neu feeder school though and my naviance scatterplot has all acceptances for people in my GPA range

applied EA but withdrew back in december

best of luck to y'all applying

[lunar mortar]

thx, like everyone from my school is applying so my expectations are low but yea it is what it is

[trim edge]

pretty sure i switch to oakland #1

i did it on the neu portal

not common app

[slate oxide]

bro i keep forgetting i don't have pic perms

wanted to send my scatterplot 🥲

yay just got pic perms

[slate oxide]

my neu scatterplot

[trim edge]

bro you got so many people applying

💀

[slate oxide]

yeah LMAO i live an hour from boston

my school is a feeder

[trim edge]

oh well that makes sense

i think ive a decent app

doubt id go even if i get accepted tho

wway too expensive

[slate oxide]

yeah fr

the neu efc calculator gave me like 1/3 of my household income

[trim edge]

whatre you trynna study?

[trim edge]

how much info do i needa put it in for that

if its quick i might do it

[slate oxide]

i got into penn engineering for cs but i might do a double major at the college of arts and sciences

[trim edge]

you applied cs at neu?

[slate oxide]

like your gross annual income, value of assets, other shit

[slate oxide]

yeah i did but i withdrew

[trim edge]

oh youre just gonna go upenn?

[slate oxide]

yeah i got accepted early decision so i have to

[trim edge]

how eopxneisve is upenn

[slate oxide]

was my top school anyways so im happy

[slate oxide]

without aid 90k but i'm paying 13k

[trim edge]

holy fuck thats good

[slate oxide]

yeppp

love the 100% need-based promise of the ivy league

[trim edge]

my estimates like 37k

for neu

[slate oxide]

my school's penn scatterplot, to all those who see this i had a lower GPA than past penn acceptances (and other ppl who applied ED with me) and i still got in so GPA isn't everything :)

[trim edge]

tuition housing and food

[slate oxide]

let's hope you can afford that

boston is so fucking expensive too

[trim edge]

its not the worst

i was expecting more tbh

[slate oxide]

beware bc it might end up being more

my expected contribution for penn was 5k more than what the calculator gave me

[trim edge]

the high says its 40k

low 26

best 33

[slate oxide]

the FGLI in me is screaming

[trim edge]

does neu do merit scholarship

[slate oxide]

yes

https://admissions.northeastern.edu/cost-financial-aid/merit-scholarships/

[trim edge]

oh thats great

i could get merit

[slate oxide]

ayy good luck

i'd imagine they're competitive

[trim edge]

likely so

i applied for cs+ econ

[slate oxide]

ooh ik one of my friends that got admitted ED for cs + econ

i'm considering double majoring in cs and econ but idk yet

at neu it's a joint major right?

[trim edge]

i thnik so

i cant ed a school like northeastern

[slate oxide]

aw why not 😭

[trim edge]

wayy way too much to commit to

i imagine id pay like 30-40k a year

for like 2 years

i already have like 70 credits

[echo folio]

Do y’all think its friend

FRIDAY

[slate oxide]

you can be released from your ED agreement with no consequences if you can't afford it

[trim edge]

i wasnt aware of this

i thought you had to pay like a crazy amount of money to get out of ed

like 10k

[slate oxide]

nope

https://www.nytimes.com/2021/12/18/your-money/paying-for-college/early-decision-binding-nyu.html

[trim edge]

oh

i coulda edd

[slate oxide]

unfortunately it's surprising a lot of ppl don't know about this 😭

you can be released from ED if you can't afford the tuition they give you!!

ik a shit ton of ppl who were deterred from doing ED for that exact reason

[slate oxide]

did you do REA anywhere?

[trim edge]

i just ea'd

ea uiuc rejection

ea gtech rejection

ea umd acccepted

[slate oxide]

did you do cs for uiuc and gtech

[trim edge]

cs+econ uiuc

and yeah cs gtech

[slate oxide]

oof very competitive

don't feel down abt those rejections

manifesting that you get into neu :)

[echo folio]

I do not feel like I will get in here

[buoyant violet]

good luck to yall

and theres plenty of people here with not so great grades dwbi

[echo folio]

My grades are good im just worried I didn’t have research or a huge spike LOL

[buoyant violet]

a2c is crazy about research and shit but tbh it really isnt that common and id estimate most people i know havent done research

[empty wing]

common app it says downloaded

[trim edge]

mightve been my gpa

that was too low for those schools

i thought i had pretty good ecs

[slate oxide]

what was your gpa if i may ask

[trim edge]

3.8 4.65

on 4 and 5 scale

my caveat is that i took like the hardest possible classes in hs

i got around 70 college credits

calc 1, calc 2, lin alg, diff eq, discrete math

[slate oxide]

damnn

[trim edge]

intro to obj programming in C++, and java

and data structures and algorithms

phys 1 and phys 2

[slate oxide]

my school only offers calc 3 as our highest math beyond the ap maths

[trim edge]

ap equivalent to ap physics c m&h ap physics c e&m

[slate oxide]

used to have lin alg but it stopped bc not enough students were taking it 💀

[trim edge]

i wish i had a higher gpa man

[slate oxide]

do u do dual enrollment?

[trim edge]

yeah but a little differently

i took my entire junionr and senior year at cc

[slate oxide]

u have a higher weighted gpa than me LMAO

[trim edge]

no hs classes after sophmore year

[slate oxide]

3.95 uw 4.48 w

[trim edge]

i think this is better than what i have

like for colleges

[slate oxide]

oh got it

[trim edge]

yeah and ill get my assosicates in cs this spring

so i should be able to graduate in 2 years

save hella money

[slate oxide]

damnn that's fire

congrats

[trim edge]

preciate it

[simple frigate]

Bro you are set wherever you go

Don’t even stress

You are a weapon

Mad impressive

[trim edge]

preciate you man

[twilit hinge]

Das like mine but less on the left lmao

Gl all ea if it comes out this week

@buoyant violet just curious, have u ever taken fundies 1, because im debating between doin fundies 1 vs accelerated version. I already asked tuna but just wanted more perspectives

If u didnt take it no worries

[slate oxide]

ayy do u also go to a neu feeder school

[twilit hinge]

Nah

We got like 1 acceptance every year

But in the past we had more acceptances

[trim edge]

whats fundies?

[buoyant violet]

im in fundies 1 rn

[buoyant violet]

have a friend who did accelerated though and he said it wasnt worth it

[buoyant violet]

fundamentals of computer science 1

[trim edge]

ohh

i think i got transfer credit for that class

i havent checked the neu database

[buoyant violet]

it doesnt have an AP equivalent unless youre talking about CC

[twilit hinge]

Aight thanks

Ik accelerated is smaller but i dont wanna put too much of a workload on myself

[twilit hinge]

I think its not transferrable unless the class taught racket or something similar

[trim edge]

cc

lemme check

oh neu only accepts 60 credits

which is fund?

i got transfer credit for cs 2990

and cs 3990

bruh neu takes all my math classes except calc 2

[twilit hinge]

Bruh lmao

Take like ap bc

Fund should be cs fundamentals 1

Cs2500

[trim edge]

cant

or it doesnt make sense to

i already took calc 2 at a cc

and its accepted like almost every university

[slate oxide]

just take the bc exam

neu gives credit for a 4 or higher on calc ab or bc

you don't need to take the class

[trim edge]

yeah but then i gotta study sequecnes and serieis

💀

[slate oxide]

eh they're not that tough trust

[trim edge]

i had an A in calc 2 up until sequences and series

[slate oxide]

last year there was one frq and a few mcq on it

[trim edge]

and then trig substitution integratino

[slate oxide]

i left one frq blank last year and also got a 5

[slate oxide]

eh just gotta remember trig identities

if you want to get math credit i def recommend doing it

[trim edge]

bro tan integrals 😢

[slate oxide]

it is not hard to get a 4+ on calc bc trust me

[trim edge]

ive no idea

i only took 1 ap

gov

i didnt study

and i got a 4

[slate oxide]

80% of people pass the calc bc exam

compared to like apush and ap chem where like 50% pass

calc bc is one of the easier ap exams to pass

[trim edge]

is pass 3+?

or 4

[slate oxide]

3+

but last year 66% of people got a 4+ on calc bc

[trim edge]

does neu give credit for 3?

[slate oxide]

no 4 or 5

[trim edge]

ill see

i needa get into neu first

[slate oxide]

true

if you get in def register asap if u want credit for MATH1341 & MATH1342

[trim edge]

whats 1341

[trim edge]

oh i got credit for 1341

just not 1342

i got cred for 1341, 2331, and 2990

[slate oxide]

calc 1

[slate oxide]

ayy nice

[twilit hinge]

All Ik about calc is uh potato frq

[slate oxide]

this is me recommending u to take calc bc exam if u get into neu

[trim edge]

will take your insights into account🤔

needa get in first

[twilit hinge]

Ye

[trim edge]

i think my ecs were good

[twilit hinge]

I can only transfer my ap bio and csp

But like csp transfer credit aint even for a good class

[trim edge]

gpa was a little weak, but course rigor was really really good

[twilit hinge]

Ur course rigor is godly

Like its unusual to get an associate goin in

[trim edge]

wasnt enough for gtech or uiuc😔

[twilit hinge]

[trim edge]

i could even get 2

[twilit hinge]

Ig hope for the best

[trim edge]

i just need another science and calc 3

com sci + math

[twilit hinge]

I need to cook on this calc bc exam this spring and stat

[slate oxide]

rn for penn i can only get credit for calc bc and chem

[twilit hinge]

Rip

[slate oxide]

hoping for all 5s on csa, french, physics c mech + e&m

[twilit hinge]

Csa ez truet

[trim edge]

youre taknig both physics?

[twilit hinge]

I think its only one

But c

[slate oxide]

yeah at my school physics c is taught both mechanics and e&m

[twilit hinge]

Oh

[trim edge]

oh

i thought it m&h is the pre-req to e&m

[slate oxide]

one course on my transcript but two separate ap exams

[trim edge]

im taking the e&m equivalent in cc rn

[slate oxide]

it kinda is tbh

first semester we did mech

now we're on e&m

[trim edge]

have you taken a physics before?

actually you need to

[slate oxide]

nope

[trim edge]

doesnt physics c have 2 pre reqs

calc and phys 1 or 2

[slate oxide]

95% of the class took physics before but me and two other kids went in with no prior physics experience

i took calc bc last year though so i'm fine

[trim edge]

that was me last semester

i took the m&h equiv

[slate oxide]

my school has these both has pre reqs but they waived the physics requirement for me bc they said i'm smart enough to handle it

clutched A- last quarter and submitted that to penn

this quarter got a B+

atp idc what i get as long as it's above a C

[trim edge]

you can get a C wont get rescinded

highly doubt

[slate oxide]

yeah but still

it’d hurt my ego bc i’ve never gotten a C before 💀

[trim edge]

real

i still cant get an C's yet

[junior scroll]

if u dont mind me asking r u fgli w that penn aid ? @slate oxide

17k such a steal

[simple lantern]

mama you remind me of something

but i dunno what it is

[slate oxide]

yes i am :))

[junior scroll]

pog congratulations !!

[slate oxide]

tyyy!!

[trim edge]

what were your ecs?

[buoyant violet]

anwr fyi all the courses labeled elective mean nearly nothing

[trim edge]

i see

does neu admit by major?

[buoyant violet]

my specific major only requires 2 gen electives + whatever i need for NuPath; i came in with like 7 general elective classes + 2 classes that covered required major classes for me and i finished nupath by doing nu accelerate

i think they admit by college, definitely not by major

[trim edge]

is khoury very competitive?

[buoyant violet]

yeah

[slate oxide]

president/founder of lgbtq+ club, delegate at model un with best position paper award, one summer internship at fgli company, current internship at financial literacy organization, freelance tutoring & web dev, family responsibilities with immigration papers and translating, summer courses in math and cs

[trim edge]

whats fgli?

[slate oxide]

A WIN !

[slate oxide]

[trim edge]

[trim edge]

plus seas fits my interests better tbh

[twilit hinge]

He did arts and sciences

Is that what seas is

[slate oxide]

no

[twilit hinge]

Or is that engineering

[slate oxide]

arts and sciences is cas

seas is school of engineering and applied science

[slate oxide]

yes

[twilit hinge]

Ooooh ok

Das fun

[slate oxide]

yessir

might be breaking my parents' dreams but that's ok!

[twilit hinge]

Bruh ur parents should be proud u got in

Computers got feelings yk

[slate oxide]

my parents only look at the face value of schools

[twilit hinge]

No safeties
