Northeastern University (2023-2024)

[mystic tide]

no outside here as well

I've heard people in my school who prob aren't on a2c trash NEU

[buoyant violet]

not really outside a2c

[meager isle]

in the real world no one cares abt ranking

and u wont need to, cause getting a job is based on your performance and ability

[topaz fern]

a2c is living in a fantasy world for the most part

[viscid quartz]

least rank obsessed A2C enjoyer

[meager isle]

its the kids that peak in highschool and become average in college

[topaz fern]

💀

[gaunt vector]

damn

[viscid quartz]

"16 AP 5's didn't get into Brown is it over for me?"

[gaunt vector]

"cured cancer but denied from becoming a deity on mount olympus is it over?"

[topaz fern]

a2c is like if you like a girl and you make up all these hypothetical scenarios in ur head and the girl just does not give a shit

[mystic tide]

only a minority of a2c is that delusional. It's just a loud and annoying minority.

[viscid quartz]

its like every post on my reddit recommended whenever i go on there

[mystic tide]

as I said, a loud and annoying minority

[viscid quartz]

and then they all give up in uni cause their life goal was getting into a T20

[meager isle]

what a peak

[gaunt vector]

my goal was making money off my extracurriculars

and it worked

[viscid quartz]

W

[topaz fern]

the second you step on a college campus t10 and t20 and t50 instantly become meaningless

its all the pregame

[gaunt vector]

and made me famous for making the largest ai livestream to date

[viscid quartz]

only matters until u land ur first internship

[gaunt vector]

which translates to college stuff I guess

[mystic tide]

interesting

[gaunt vector]

i am an important part of internet and computer science history and nothing will top this

except having a wife and kids

and some really good chicken wings

[viscid quartz]

preach

[trim edge]

ive a question

i got into oakland, and i applied for cs and economics at college of social science and humanities

if i change my major to cs and economics at khoury , will that effect my admission?

[coral python]

HELLO???

also happy i got abroad bc i'm so burnt out from school that i just wanna bounce around europe for a few months atp😭

[topaz fern]

congrats

nuin is fire

[trim edge]

anyone know?

[round wyvern]

if i apply ed can i change my campus preferences and stuff

[coral python]

i've heard from friends who got in ed u can someone easily change ur major upon acceptance

[topaz fern]

wdym

[trim edge]

its a different college tho

[coral python]

idk and campuses tho

prob not

[trim edge]

ive like a drop down menu

[coral python]

maybe if u got into boston but i don't think u can go somewhere else to boston

[trim edge]

to change my major

[coral python]

yeah it's that easy

[round wyvern]

i cant remember if i put oakland or boston as my first preference

[trim edge]

i chose oakland for first year but im allowed to go to boston after

[coral python]

yes

[trim edge]

so if i change my major will it effect my decision?

[round wyvern]

no

[coral python]

oh no

[topaz fern]

thats got to be something you can check

[round wyvern]

ill check

[topaz fern]

but im pretty sure you can change major at oakland

[round wyvern]

on commonapp

[topaz fern]

i dont see why you wouldnt be able to

[round wyvern]

okay this says starting

[trim edge]

i did cs and econ but in college of social sciences and umanities

[round wyvern]

that doesnt mean all 4 years at boston right

[trim edge]

i just changed to cs and econ at khoury

[trim edge]

whats on your admissions leter

[topaz fern]

"starting" implies global scholars or the option to transfer

[shadow arrow]

wait if im rejected does it mean im rejected from all preferences

[round wyvern]

i got deferred

im thinking if i ed2

[round wyvern]

yes

[shadow arrow]

welp

[trim edge]

it should tell you if youre alowed to switch campuses on your letter i think

thats what it told me

[topaz fern]

if you ed2 with these options you will 100% get accepted into oakland 4 years (most likely) or global scholars

[round wyvern]

but it doesnt say thats one of the possible decisions

[topaz fern]

starting at oakland's degree seeking campus

is what i mean

[round wyvern]

yes i dont want to be stuck at oakland all 4 years

[topaz fern]

oh but its your first choice

so youre wondering if you can change your order of preference i see

[round wyvern]

yes

[topaz fern]

i dont know off the top f my head

look aronud your status check portal or call them

[meager isle]

i think its too late for that

[topaz fern]

probably too late though, but he did get deferred so they could still move it

[round wyvern]

im applying ed2 now after being deferred

should i send an email asking?

[topaz fern]

calling is def more effective but an email works too

[meager isle]

i mean you can but i doubt youll be able to chance preferences

[round wyvern]

even though im applying ed 2 now?

[round wyvern]

i dont think anyones up when im up

theyre clocked otu by the time my school ends

[topaz fern]

look around common app, look around ur status check

if its a thing, itll be in there somewhere

if theres absolutely nothing just email them

[round wyvern]

doesnt let me do anything in portal till i choose ed2

[meager isle]

its always next to the NU Journey red button

next to the major change

[topaz fern]

alright

[round wyvern]

hmm

[meager isle]

for ED 1 they gave us a 2 week notice before removing it from the portal

[rugged glade]

anyone else also having an issue where they're not able to access their application portal and their email address seemingly "does not exist in the Northeastern system" when they try resetting password

i've logged into my portal in the past completely fine

with the same email

[round wyvern]

ok wait it says i can put northeastern ed down but its not finalized till i do the agreement anyway

[harsh elm]

For people who got in, is anybody tryna negotiate some merit from them?

[round wyvern]

ok yes i can change it!

[topaz fern]

nice

[slate oxide]

ayy congrats!! deserved it with those stacked stats

[rocky badge]

when this happened to me apparently they somehow changed it so my school email was the one associated with the account instead of my personal?? 😭 idk if that would be the case for you though

[round wyvern]

hmm should i put nu.in or oakland as my second preference after boston

[rugged glade]

oh maybe

ill try calling them up tomorrow and seeing ig

yeah ppl on the reddit have been having the same issue

my school uses scoir so i think its something to do with that

[rocky badge]

yeah i just logged in with school email and normal password and it worked

my school also does scoir maybe thats it

[rugged glade]

yeah could be

although my school email doesnt work to login either 😭

[round wyvern]

does this affect acceptance rate

[topaz fern]

it might just be broken because theres so many people, give it a couple days

[rugged glade]

so ig support helpline it is

[rocky badge]

oh damn 😭😭 good luck

[rugged glade]

thanks

[frank warren]

Got in !!! + honors college

[charred mulch]

For everyone who got in today, congrats! You guys should be really proud of yourselves 🎉

[worn oriole]

deferred like so many others

my sophomore yr grades are killing my apps man

[brisk crystal]

do yall think this is true or nah: "NU defers something between 50-70% of EA applicants because they simply do not have enough time or enough resources to read each application. Most deferrals are simply because they were not reviewed."

[outer tree]

what wave of decisions came out today

[versed solar]

EA

[outer tree]

o thanks pookie

[runic fossil]

not rlly cuz they had like 2 more weeks to review apps

so its not like they had any shortage of time to read apps

[brisk crystal]

fr

but like, how do they review 100k apps

[hot pier]

wait my sister got into oakland which was her second choice, is that better than getting rejected/deferred?

[topaz fern]

not well

[topaz fern]

yeah 😂

[hot pier]

is the oakland campus acceptance rate 80 percent?

[topaz fern]

hmm, it depends what you mean

if you select neu oakland as your first choice on your app i could see it being 80%

but out of all the applications, 80% aren't sent to oakland

[devout schooner]

I’m glad ea is over, now this chat can relax 😂

Until ed2

[hot pier]

she selected boston

[topaz fern]

boston will probably have between 5 and 10% admit rate, nuin oakland and global scholars usually push the real rate up by about 10 or 15 points

so i'd say she had a 10-15% rate for oakland

but if she did ed, thats more like 40-50% lol

those numbers are for ea/rd

[hot pier]

what is this tho

[atomic ibex]

wait so what’s the estimated nuin acceptance rate

[queen stump]

If you’re deferred is there any chance you’d get into Boston campus or would it be best case NUIN

[topaz fern]

it would be like 30% for ed, and 5-10% for ea/rd roughly

these aren't published stats btw, these are just estimates based on numbers from previous years

[atomic ibex]

oh damn that’s lower than i expected

[worn oriole]

ea is def single digits this year

[atomic ibex]

the way people treat it is like it’s lowkey an L if u get into it

[topaz fern]

id say youre definitely more likely to get into nuin or global scholars, or oakland

[round wyvern]

for ed2 will i get a low chance of acceptance w boston as my first choice insteado f nuin

[topaz fern]

the thing about nuin is its actually less than 2000 kids out of 98000 applications, so if you look at it that way its like 3% @atomic ibex

but thats deceptive from the actual chance you have of getting it

[round wyvern]

cause im just putting boston as my first choice in my ed app

[atomic ibex]

ah i see

[hot pier]

is nuin oakland?

[topaz fern]

no, if you dont get boston theyll just put you in something else, it shouldnt affect your chances

• youll have the option to back out if you get anything else

[hot pier]

so the oakland option is selective all in all?

[topaz fern]

no, nuin sends you somewhere in europe for 1 semester. oakland is one year at oakland and then back to boston

[hot pier]

oh ok

[round wyvern]

cool

im ed2ing then 👍

[brazen kernel]

im hoping cmu comes out so I can transfer my ed2 to here

[topaz fern]

nice

[mellow crystal]

when is the latest i can change to ed2 guys?

[charred iron]

ik this is cope but genuinely does neu yield protect ea
the only campus i wanted was boston

[celest light]

Anyone know what the acceptance rate for oakland is?

Or too complicated to calculate bc of factoring in first second third choice?

[brittle carbon]

also whats the acceptance rate for nuin

[meager isle]

no one knows

[round wyvern]

5th

[hot pier]

someone said if u put it as second choice and u got it

its a 10-15 percent acceptance rate

[celest light]

Yeah i did

[hot pier]

same with my sister

[topaz fern]

thats like ea/rd 2nd or 3rd choice

ed or 1st choice would be higher

[celest light]

Damn ok that's hella low

[hot pier]

yes

second choice oakland ea is 10-15 percent

@topaz fern are u at northeastern rn

[topaz fern]

yeah

[hot pier]

oh nice

[celest light]

Do we know what global scholars as second or third choice would be like?

[hot pier]

so u know ok

[topaz fern]

all these specific acceptance rates are pretty much just swinging in the dark, we have no real way to know

something between 15 and 30 sounds right

[quaint geyser]

was there an FAQ on the deferral letter for NEU bc i don't remember if there was one and my mom's asking

oh nvm found it

[charred forge]

accepted biomedical physics and honors college!!

stats (if it helps): 4.56w 4.0uw, 1530 SAT, 4 AP classes and like 8 DE classes

[junior scroll]

dang i have similar stats

[charred forge]

oo did you have any luck?

[junior scroll]

nope got deferred

congrats tho !!

[charred forge]

damn sorry to hear that : (

dw you got northwestern

[junior scroll]

fr fr

[charred forge]

northeastern fumbled fr

[meager isle]

yeah

cause all the satellite campus kids are considered transfer kids

so they don’t need to report the acceptance rate with the boston campus rate

[rocky haven]

I applied EA and got accepted to the global scholars program, is that rare?

I dont rememver applying for it?

[stark pendant]

No

[kind kernel]

Is it easier to get in to Oakland’s campus or do a lot of ppl get deferred ?

[rocky haven]

is there any way i can go to the boston campus directly?

or do i have to do one year abroad at either of the locations they assign

[topaz fern]

you have to go abroad first

if you got into boston first sem it would say

[hot pier]

aparently that 7 percent acceptance rate for northeastern is boston and oaklands cumilative acceptance rate

[topaz fern]

yeah it excludes ed, nuin and global scholars

the reported rate ^

[charred forge]

what is the ea rate does anyone know?

[hot pier]

7 percent combining boston and oakland applications

[topaz fern]

i think he means just ea

[charred forge]

yea

[topaz fern]

probably same as rd, or less

[charred forge]

oh damn

woo im so excited

right in boston fr

did anyone accepted get the national recognition scholarship?

[south shadow]

squad!!! accepted boston campus for molecular biology!!! stats are 3.92 3.78 UW GPA (transferred to boarding school), 1450 SAT, great ECs and i think the ringer for me was internship and recommendatio from professor at Johns Hopkins School of Med

[topaz fern]

sweet, congrats

[charred forge]

oo molecular bio is firee

honestly i picked biomedical physics just because it seemed cool asf😭😭

[south shadow]

biomedical physics IS cool af

[hot pier]

my sister got deans scholar

[still wraith]

Forgot decisions drop today 😭

[hot pier]

like 7500 per year only 💀

[still wraith]

Got into Nu.in and i am very very surprised

[hot pier]

what was ur first choice

[charred forge]

damn they stingy

[still wraith]

like Major?

[hot pier]

campus

[charred forge]

for national rec i got 30k/year but it will eat into fin. aid

[hot pier]

1st and 2nd choice

[hot pier]

bro ur cracked

[charred forge]

no bro😭

[still wraith]

im ngl i dont remember...

I dont even remember applying to the international program

Got accepted for CS tho

[hot pier]

nice

[still wraith]

Did some research and its looking like NU.in is kinda a bail out for the university to make more $

[distant thistle]

did any one receive merit or need based aid yet

[still wraith]

says late Febuary need based will come out

[distant thistle]

alright thanks

[still wraith]

due to fafsa being delayed

but I got merit in my letter

[distant thistle]

oh then i mustve not gotten any

[topaz fern]

Highly recommend nuin

[distant thistle]

i think i forgot to apply for it

[hot pier]

so only boston and oakland legit

?

[topaz fern]

Nuin is arguably better than oakland, you get a month in a european country and get Boston on your second semester

[hot pier]

that shit sounds fun as hell

[topaz fern]

Also they’re all “legit” lol

[topaz fern]

It was dude. Best experience of my life

[still wraith]

idk if legit is the right word

[hot pier]

which country?

[topaz fern]

I did nuin Rome

[still wraith]

Its a national university everything abt it is legit

[hot pier]

nice

[distant thistle]

i got nuin london

[still wraith]

Can i ask you sum 😭

[topaz fern]

Ye ofc

[still wraith]

I feel extremely unqualified for this university but so happy abt my acceptance

I completely forgot about decisions tdy and saw the email as I was checking before bed

[distant thistle]

hey man u got accepted

big w

[still wraith]

i dont know why tho 😭

3.6 uw 4.2 w test optional

[distant thistle]

doesn’t matter you got in

[topaz fern]

I got in 3.6 uw 4.0 weighted and im doing fine

[still wraith]

very relieving.

Whats your major?

[untold shale]

u sent 1450? thats fire cus i sent them a 1450 too

[topaz fern]

Business admin with finance concentration

[untold shale]

im applying to business too

[still wraith]

holy

[untold shale]

i have a 96.5 1450

790 math idk if that helps

[still wraith]

thats wht im looking at transferring to

[topaz fern]

idk what 96.5 coverts to but that sounds about what I had

[untold shale]

its weighted tho

i think its like 4.15 weighted or 4.2 weighted

something in that ballpark

[topaz fern]

Wouldn’t 4.2 weighted be like a 102-103

[untold shale]

no

thats 4.8

4.7-4.8

[topaz fern]

Oh I guess my school used a different system

[untold shale]

ah i see, im in NY sooo

[topaz fern]

I was 101 and only 4.0

[untold shale]

damn thats crazy

cus the highest in my grade was 103 point something

but so many ppl have 95+ so my class rank kinda doodoo 😭

[still wraith]

Havent done much personal research yet but how comfortable was nu.in for you? Is it dorm style? @topaz fern

[untold shale]

competitive ah classmates

i need to email neu asap cus i read on reddit that some dude asked neu if he could send additional supplemental essays in portal and they told him yes

and i wanna do that for RD lowkey

[topaz fern]

It’ll be completely different depending on what location you pick. In Rome, I was placed in a 5-person apartment with 3 stories, bottom floor was a kitchen and living room, middle floor was a room with 3 beds and a bath, top floor was 2 beds and a bath. I heard in Greece the rooms were hella small and not as nice

Very comfortable

[still wraith]

That sounds amazing wtf 😭

Whats the catch

[still wraith]

man ur right Im j tweakin

[topaz fern]

Catch is the food at the dining hall was pretty mid, and you ran out of points fast. Food in the city was expensive af. Good to know how to cook if you don’t wanna spend quite a bit of cash. Some classes were a 10-15 minute walk, but the walk is nice. It was very hot, but only unbearable for a couple weeks in September.

That’s honestly about it, everything else was amazing

Oh and no dryers 😭 you have to hang all your clothes

[distant thistle]

yeah dude be happy

[noble stag]

Does neu take locis?

[keen urchin]

i got into oakland instead of boston anyone got into oakland?

[still wraith]

Does anyone else have this change major button?

Def planning on switching majors but is it as easy as j clicking the button?

[hot pier]

a lot of people, where r u from

[keen urchin]

I m from koreaa

[celest light]

Yep

[keen sundial]

whats the max they do

[distant thistle]

is there any way to negotiate merit if i forgot to apply for it💀

[topaz fern]

call them

[keen sundial]

i didnt apply and they gave me some was there a specific app for it?

[distant thistle]

i thought there was an option on common app

maybe i just wasn’t good enough lol

[kind kernel]

yes

[noble stag]

Guys can I submit a revised commonapp essay / essay to neu as well as a loci??

Cuz they have an upload essay thing in their portal?

[rocky haven]

Did you get into boston directly?

Is global scholars just a thing for them to make more $$$?

[silk charm]

for ppl who got deferred, was boston the only choice yall selected?

[topaz fern]

They bought the satellite campuses so they could accept more students and make more money yes

But it’s not a reflection of the kids they accept

There’s no difference in character or stats if you get into Boston vs oakland, it’s just what they decided

Typically kids who mention something about traveling, or diversity or whatever will be put into these international programs

[silk charm]

i read somewhere that neu gives boston mostly to ed 1 and ed 2 applicants and rest get oakland, nuin etc is this true

[topaz fern]

Where’d you read that? I’ve never heard of that

[silk charm]

reddit

[rocky haven]

oh, would it make more sense that I am an international?

my Common app essay was also about i became open to trying new things because of X incident

[topaz fern]

It’s likely that’s why you got global scholars, yeah

[topaz fern]

Depends who wrote it, but I really doubt that’s true

[meager isle]

not true

but majority of the class is ED kids tho

whether you’re at boston or at a satellite campus

[twilit hinge]

Ed1 got less boston acceptances than ea

So yea what n said

[meager isle]

no

everyone is considered for merit, there is no “you apply for it”

same for the honors program

so really it’s luck based atp

[meager isle]

yes, northeastern is very open to change cause they know students may not stick with one thing their first year

[charred iron]

yeah and i dont think i said i was interested in nu in at the time
after reading these i really regret that 😭

3.9 gpa 1560 sat solid ecs

[silk charm]

so many ppl i know got boston ed 1

and they werent cracked also

[twilit hinge]

I wouldn’t say they arent cracked

U still need to do well

[frank warren]

Does anyone know what the acceptance rate for the honors program is?

[pliant lotus]

Ed1 is not that competitive

It's like 40% including both ed1 and 2 I think

[silk charm]

wouldnt it make sense to accept ed kids to boston cuz then the decision is binding and neu gets the money

[noble stag]

Guys can I submit a revised commonapp essay / essay to neu as well as a loci??

Cuz I can upload any essay to the portal

[shut smelt]

yep

and im pretty sure they're need aware (?)

me who applied for need-based aid

[broken crypt]

u click n it changes like immediately

[south shadow]

meeee

praying they dont make me sell my left kidney to attend 😫

[dark shard]

deferred cs kinda weird but ok

[shut smelt]

deferred business 100% expected

[tired meteor]

@meager isle hey sorry for the ping but you seem to be answering a lotta questions about neu. i was wondering if you knew whether deferred students have a chance at honors/scholarships if they get in rd?

[dark shard]

it said equal chance in faq tho who knows

[tired meteor]

huh interesting

that means there's still a chance tho because i know in usc if you don't get in ea you don't get scholarships

[kind kernel]

did u apply the boston campus only?

[tired meteor]

i think so yeah

[queen stump]

You can check in common app btw

[meager isle]

everyone should have the same chance

[charred forge]

i got 30k merit

[distant thistle]

damn congrats

[tired meteor]

yooooo congrats you'll def get bu trustee

[grizzled bough]

What’s your COA

[pliant lotus]

~10% of admitted students

[exotic mist]

Oh damn I know like 4 people who got in including myself and they are all honors I was v confused

[pliant lotus]

How much merit did u get with honors?

I got 27k/year, i've seen anywhere from 5-30k

[frank warren]

WTH I got 54k for all 4 years

I’m not rich bruh this is such a mid honor scholarship

[pliant lotus]

Idk what it's based on

they have so little time to read apps that I don't see them making well-thought-out decisions

[frank warren]

Real cuz no way I got in let alone the honors program

My essay for that school was trash

[pliant lotus]

Lmao same

my CAPS was terrible

[frank warren]

I did talk about Boston in that essay so who knows

And I’m p sure a lot of ppl from my school got in we might be a feeder

[pliant lotus]

What no supps does to an MF

we're not even in mass

this is upstate NY

[frank warren]

No supps and 7% acceptance rate is wild

[pliant lotus]

I am still so confused how I got in and was in the top 10%

every CS nerd uses NEU as a "target"

[frank warren]

I got in cs !!

Given I was test opt

def a reach tbh

[pliant lotus]

Whoa

that's even crazier

I at least had the stats to back it up

[frank warren]

LMAO why

I had ISEF and stuff so

[pliant lotus]

Nah it's just like so many people dont get in with the cracked SAT

[pliant lotus]

Oh lmao nevermind

[frank warren]

I made up for test opt I guess

[pliant lotus]

Wtf how are you ISEF but not good standardized testing

[frank warren]

I just never took practice tests

And never studied

After psat I got rlly bad test anxiety

[pliant lotus]

makes sense

[frank warren]

So I avoided it and then it was too late 😭😭

[pliant lotus]

what'd you get on PSAT?

[frank warren]

Bro it was really bad

I don’t rmr exact score but I didn’t get nmsqt or smth

[pliant lotus]

samesies

I had a 102 fever when I took it

[frank warren]

Oh god

[pliant lotus]

so i only got 1450

when my SAT that i took before was 1570 😭

[frank warren]

Oh wow

That’s super impressive dude

[pliant lotus]

also turns out i'm stupid and i couldve taken a late PSAT

so RIP scholarships i guess

[frank warren]

I guess it doesn’t matter too much

[pliant lotus]

some schools give fat merit aid for semifinalist or finalist

[frank warren]

Yeah I know Vanderbilt does

[pliant lotus]

like USC (got deferred but ill still mention) gives half ride

[frank warren]

I just shoulda sucked it up and got over test anxiety

[pliant lotus]

easier said than done but yeah prob

[dusky vault]

freaking chainsaw man politics tiktok got into northeastern

its not fairrrr

[charred forge]

no i won’t 😭😭 i just checked and they don’t give it to undocumentd students

[charred forge]

they didn’t send out aid packages yet but i’m pretty sure merit cuts into aid 😞

[verbal helm]

lmao i got in TO too

[charred forge]

essay?

[frank warren]

Personal statement

[charred forge]

oh

😭

[harsh elm]

is it even worth going to northeastern over umass if imma need a good amount of loans?

its just such an expensive school

[verbal helm]

does anyone know about nu accelerate?

[mystic tide]

Bruh that looks random

[buoyant violet]

if you get in ED you should do it, its two summer classes that you take for free and it counts towards major requirements/electives

[echo folio]

Can I go to Boston instead of an abroad camus

[barren pendant]

is cs more competitive to get into than the other majors

[keen sundial]

yea

[main pike]

is oakland campus as good as the regular campus?

[round wyvern]

ok i submitted my ed2 :0

[charred forge]

aid package didn’t come out yet 💀💀

[twilit hinge]

No

But u can usually after one semester or year

Depends on ur program

[round wyvern]

anyone know ed2 acceptance rate

[twilit hinge]

not sure

but its higher than rd

[harsh elm]

they gave an estimate a while back and mine was hella low

[noble stag]

Do we submit a loci to this school or they don’t accept?

[twilit hinge]

do you guys have that option

theres a submission section of grades, counselor letters, etc.

idk if theres a new section for u guys, but if so I think that would be the perfect place to send a loci

and that was last year

[round wyvern]

whats global scholars again

[twilit hinge]

london one semester, oakland the other

and then back to boston remainign years

[round wyvern]

hmm

[noble stag]

I should check if this option is available for us

[round wyvern]

should i put oakland, nuin, or global as my second pref

nuin seems best bc its only one sem

[twilit hinge]

yea if there is that would be great to share wiht others

[round wyvern]

yeah its there

[twilit hinge]

deends

if u dont care where ur going abroad and just wanna go back to boston

then nuin

[round wyvern]

yeah

[twilit hinge]

ok nuin then

[round wyvern]

abroad could be cool but ive never been to another country besides india

and idk any languages either

its just like... attending college in a diff country not just throwing me into the wild right

did anyone do nuin here

[twilit hinge]

they're mainly in europe I believe

one student here went to nuin rome

some dublin

etc

so all around europe mostly

even if u get thrown to india, which I doubt, I believe they have a way to integrate english teaching

[round wyvern]

i wonder if putting nuin as my first preference over boston would be higher acceptance rate

[twilit hinge]

and also if u get sent to nuin, ur not binded to ed

[twilit hinge]

no dont

[round wyvern]

no they dont do india its just me saying ive basically never left the country

[round wyvern]

keep boston?

[twilit hinge]

yea

[round wyvern]

boston, nuin, oakland maybe in order of pref

[harsh elm]

nuin is hella expensive tho

[twilit hinge]

thats ok

[harsh elm]

its like 87k

[twilit hinge]

yea

thats why I dont want u to bind urself to somewhere u dont wanna really go

unless u get boston

[harsh elm]

yeah dont ed

[twilit hinge]

well he wants to

[round wyvern]

no i'm eding just only to boston lol

[harsh elm]

I wouldve been miserable if I did cause I didnt get merit

[round wyvern]

i like the shcool, i dont have other good options, my parents told me not to worry abt money

[twilit hinge]

if ur in this situation ig yea shoot for boston

thats comfy

[round wyvern]

they do also simultaneously tell me "we have no money" and "we'll figure it out" but 💀

[twilit hinge]

oh

nvm

💀

[round wyvern]

i think they were joking ive seen their salary

and they were ok w me eding to tufts first which is same cost if not higher

[twilit hinge]

if u eded tufts and felt confident

ig yea ed boston

[round wyvern]

confident moneywise or statswise

[twilit hinge]

if u really just want to get into neu

[twilit hinge]

money

[round wyvern]

yeah i do

[harsh elm]

northeaster just fucks over upper middle class families while being rly good for low class and rich ppl

[twilit hinge]

nuin

would be great for first option

[round wyvern]

[harsh elm]

damn 1560

[white bison]

how do yk if u applied Boston or oak campus?

[twilit hinge]

[round wyvern]

[twilit hinge]

[round wyvern]

[twilit hinge]

we dont know if its better

[harsh elm]

[twilit hinge]

[twilit hinge]

[round wyvern]

it was my first try and i barely studied

[twilit hinge]

[round wyvern]

wait a minute

[twilit hinge]

if u addressed that

in ur additional info

[round wyvern]

[twilit hinge]

[round wyvern]

lmfaooo

[twilit hinge]

OMG

I REMEMBVER NOW

LMAOOOOO

[round wyvern]

so i think you were wrong

💀

[twilit hinge]

I had hope bruh

[round wyvern]

honestly the deferrals hurt more than that rejection cause i was expecting it

[twilit hinge]

no deferrals are better

Koi honestly

[round wyvern]

hi

[twilit hinge]

I feel like if u get ur senior grades good rn

and send to tufts

u got a shot

[round wyvern]

3.71 uw 4.05 w

[round wyvern]

i already got rejected that decision is final lol

[twilit hinge]

what

[round wyvern]

for nu though... maybe

[twilit hinge]

they already went from defer to rejection?

[round wyvern]

tufts was ed1

[twilit hinge]

how did rd even come out that fast

[round wyvern]

never got deferred there, i got deferred elsewhere

[twilit hinge]

i thought u got deferred

oh

they just rejected?

[round wyvern]

i meant like deferral in general hurt more

[twilit hinge]

oh

[round wyvern]

yes

[twilit hinge]

damn : (

its a tough school dont take it too hard

[round wyvern]

im kinda over it tbh i just want to get into a school i like

yeah i got over that one in like 20 mins dont worry

last friday hurt a lot tho

[twilit hinge]

oh those eas

[round wyvern]

georgia tech chapel hill uiuc madison all rejected straight up

[twilit hinge]

: (

[round wyvern]

i really wanted uiuc bc of my mom but oh well

if i get nu i'll be happy, but maybe don't tell me im getting in cause i think you're going to jinx it 💀

[twilit hinge]

yea I wont say antyhing

[round wyvern]

and to be fair, tufts only has sat as considered and its very important here

[twilit hinge]

what I would do for now is just boston, nuin, oakland

[round wyvern]

sounds good 👍

[twilit hinge]

although ur gpa is still low

[round wyvern]

yeah upward trend though

[twilit hinge]

u can believe in urself

yea

[round wyvern]

and that's unweighted

im also taking some cc courses rn

[twilit hinge]

thats nice

[round wyvern]

so yeah we'll see, at least i dont have to wait long

it says before march 1st

me when my cc told me i might not get in anywhere 🤩

[twilit hinge]

lmaoo

upward trends are great

you'll get in somewhere

[round wyvern]

hopefully

[celest light]

Do we know when they release aid packages?

87k is way too steep lmao

[twilit hinge]

Nah we got no clue

I think even ed still waiting

they'll def send it tho before commitment day

[harsh elm]

yeah fr

should I try and email them and see if I can get a better package

cause the one they gave me wont do anything

[celest light]

I assume they wont release till like fafsa goes thru

So march ig

[exotic mist]

i got 15k a year, my friend got 27k and my bf got 30

from what i know the 30 was due to ap distinction

[pliant lotus]

AP distinction? I have that award afaik

Unless it's based on literal AP scores rather than the AP award itself

[vale seal]

Lmao everyone in my school who got in ea was with global scholars or nu in

[mortal grail]

everyone in my school who applied ea got deferred 💀

[noble stag]

guys where can i find my reference number for neu on portal?

[celest light]

bottom of acceptance letter

[noble stag]

literally same what happened??

[noble stag]

i didnt get an acceptance letter lol

[twilit hinge]

we got one acceptance at our school but it was london lmao

[mystic tide]

is it?

[noble stag]

idkk honestly but many from my school will submit

[mystic tide]

when should I submit LOCI? now? later?

[noble stag]

this is bs honestly so many other deserving people at my school should have gotten in idk what happened

[twilit hinge]

u can do later

for ed2 now

[round wyvern]

Wait do I need to do a loci for ed2?

[twilit hinge]

no need to

the ed already is interest

but if u have something important to update

I would send now

[round wyvern]

nothing important, I have a couple ecs I left off my commonapp I could add I guess but that’s it

[twilit hinge]

yea u can add that ig

[hollow surge]

wait i dont think u can apply ED2 if ur deffered can u?

but u can always send an appeal letter to show ur still interested

[floral scroll]

you can

[hollow surge]

omg wait thats good

only warning for that though is make sure that you know an estimate of how much youll pay because i know somoen that got in ED1 but is now stuck with paying the full 87k

[junior scroll]

87k is crazy

[floral scroll]

no school is worth that much

[noble stag]

is the nuid our reference number?

[verbal helm]

have u ever gone to an admitted student webinar? if so whats it like

[knotty bloom]

isn’t there an option to opt out cuz financial issue?

[verbal helm]

i might sign up for my school-specific one and then general neu one

[hollow surge]

theyre really stingy abt it like they tell u dont do ED if ur not commiting to the amount u might have to pay

but u can do an early aid estimate

[pure thunder]

Anyone have the thing on what you owe?

[hollow surge]

unless the deadline is passed forthat

[hollow surge]

its just zoom meets

they post them online anyways

[twilit hinge]

yes I have

its a place to ask q and a

they will go through a presentation

but I would recommend asking questions early

so they can get to u before they run out of time

and if u cant attend it, theres a recorded playlist that gets uploaded later

[brisk crystal]

if I do the ED2 thing but i change my mind in like a week or something before they make that decision, can i withdrawl my app or am i locked in

[hollow surge]

no usually u can withdraw before u get results

[shut smelt]

i think u can still withdraw

[hollow surge]

basically

its kinda cool cuz once you commit u can get ur account and stuff set up

i already have an nu email and its so satisfying lol

[noble stag]

Ohh tysm

[charred forge]

you committed?

[twilit hinge]

ye he was ed

we got student hubs and stuff

[devout schooner]

Anybody from ea committed yet?

[worn oriole]

everyone at my school either got deferred, placed in global scholars, or start in the spring

[charred forge]

ohh

yo guys i'm a lil slow

this means the same shit right, 30k first year, 15k/semester? since there's 2 semesters right

[twilit hinge]

yea

honestly aint that 15k a semester

either way lmao

[charred forge]

yea what i was thinking lmfoaoo

[twilit hinge]

I think the reason why they specify 15k

[charred forge]

idk why they tried to differentiate 😭

[twilit hinge]

is because during co-op

u dont pay tuition

[charred forge]

ohhhhh

[twilit hinge]

its like a break and also u get to earn money back

[charred forge]

yoo thats fire

[twilit hinge]

so ur techincaly in school one semester a year

mhm

[charred forge]

did you commit?

[twilit hinge]

freshmen everyone is here tho full year

thats why 30k

yes

[charred forge]

ohh

boston campus?

[twilit hinge]

cause co-op starts in sophomore+

yea

[charred forge]

fire asf maybe i'll see you if i end up committing

i hope i get good need based aid then i'll be so set

[twilit hinge]

u got in boston too?

[charred forge]

yes sir

i only ranked boston too 😭

[harsh elm]

Me too lol

[twilit hinge]

yippee

yea hope for that good fin aid

[harsh elm]

I don’t think I will tho cause I’m upper middle class

[twilit hinge]

[twilit hinge]

[charred forge]

[twilit hinge]

[twilit hinge]

[mystic tide]

I am a National Hispanic Recognition Awardee and National Rural & Small Town Awardee

[charred forge]

ohhhh damn that's fire

hope you have good luck with rd bro

[mystic tide]

thanks

I rewrote my whole app for RD

[charred forge]

my friend got in ed and her net cost is like 7k? no scholarships

so dw if you dont end up getting merit

[mystic tide]

But I was really hoping for this scholarship at NEU bc it might make it affordable

[mystic tide]

damn

[charred forge]

one thing is that it eats into gift aid

[mystic tide]

@charred forge what did you write about in your CAPS? Did you mention being African American?

[charred forge]

CAPS? 😭

[mystic tide]

common app personal statement

[charred forge]

ohhhh

[mystic tide]

(mine was mid and didn't mention being latino which is what I suspect did me in)

[charred forge]

i can send it to you if you want, i talked about my experiences with elderly care and I did mention being Haitian-American

[mystic tide]

also why I rewrote it for RD

[mystic tide]

Sure, I'd like that

[charred forge]

dude as long as it sounds authentic/genuine u good

i just tried to make my essays sound like me yk

[mystic tide]

Yeah my EA essay wan't

my RD essay was super genuine

[trim edge]

what does enrollment deposit mean?

[buoyant violet]

a deposit that confirms your enrollment

[mystic tide]

you give them a deopisit of money as part of your commitment there

[trim edge]

i see

does the money go to like nu store credit or something?

or do i just give them free money

[buoyant violet]

no it gets taken off your fall semester bill

[trim edge]

damn i wanted to order a nu sweatshirt

[buoyant violet]

so like you pay 600 now you have to pay 600 less later

[trim edge]

but there so expensvie with shippign

[trim edge]

wait NU is 600??

[charred forge]

big W, that's good

[buoyant violet]

thats what it was last year idk what it is now

[trim edge]

bruhh

600 is so much

[buoyant violet]

i could be wrong

[charred forge]

i wonder if QB kids still have to pay their deposit

[buoyant violet]

bro if youre worried about 600 how tf are you gonna pay 87k later

[mystic tide]

no

QB match is binding except for one or two schools

[buoyant violet]

and if you got aid then that 600 is deducted from the net price after aid

[trim edge]

im not worried bout money its just that im not trnyna pay 600 before i strt

i rather have the money go to like store credit or some shit

[buoyant violet]

it goes towards your tuition

[hollow surge]

yeaaa i got in ED

[charred forge]

damnn good shit

[buoyant violet]

what college has an enrollment deposit go towards bookstore credit

[charred forge]

LMFAOOO

[trim edge]

they give good aid tho

[trim edge]

my state school

[buoyant violet]

never heard of anything like that

cool for your state school

[trim edge]

its much cheaper tho

[hollow surge]

yesssir

[trim edge]

its like 150, and you can use that money as credit at any of my state school official stores

[buoyant violet]

the 600 is both enrollment and housing deposit combined

[trim edge]

[twilit hinge]

[twilit hinge]

[twilit hinge]

there were a lot I didnt qualify for

which sucked

[verbal helm]

theres raise.me scholarships

[charred forge]

[mystic tide]

[verbal helm]

[twilit hinge]

oh

lemme check that out

[charred forge]

thats how much they told me

[charred forge]

ngl im pretty sure the last day for them was nov 15 but still check it out

[hollow surge]

nah it was my first choice cuz they gave me the most money out of all the other schools

[hollow surge]

but only do ED if its for sure ur first choice

[charred forge]

[sick charm]

[junior echo]

they did research with a professor there and he really like them so he wrote a letter of recc for them

[trim edge]

i wish i got merit
