Northeastern University (2023-2024)

[trim edge]

i think i shouldve chose boston first campus

i think i couldve got into honors

is there an oakland honors?

[junior echo]

northeastern is prob not much better than your state school tbh. go where you wont drown in debt

[trim edge]

i can go if its like 40 a year

my net price calc said like 30-40

[junior echo]

i dont think so

[trim edge]

so im hoping i get something within that range

[junior echo]

good luck

[hollow surge]

usually u can after you actually start going there

[brazen kernel]

is it worth paying the full 87k for cs

i might ed if cmu doesn't go well 💀

[hollow surge]

87k is never normal for school

personally

[empty wing]

no 1 year

[hollow surge]

cuz why is that a price for school

[charred forge]

mine said like 20-30 but im pretty sure my merit won’t cover the rest

[brazen kernel]

yeah thats what i thought

[charred forge]

not personally, everyone should agree 💀💀

[hollow surge]

oh fun fact they replace any financial aid with any merit u get

for an example like u get 30k off by them in financial aid

but u win a 20k scholarship they take that and they take back 20 k of their money

Its stupid

[trim edge]

yk how accurate these things are?

[charred forge]

yea thats what i heard : (

[trim edge]

honestly id be pretty happy with 30-40 a year

[hollow surge]

so if u get a scholarship that doesnt go directly to the school thats better

[trim edge]

and it includes housting and tuition

[hollow surge]

and scholarships u gotta keep up the GPA

[charred forge]

it’s like whats even the point of getting fucking merit dude

[hollow surge]

exactly

[trim edge]

are there any scholarships that i can apply to for oakland?

[empty wing]

damn wtf

[hollow surge]

like i have this one scholarship that gives me my money directly to my bank accnt so they dont know

[verbal helm]

i mean if u are full pay it helps u 😭

[charred forge]

ohhh shit

[charred forge]

nah i’m not tho

[hollow surge]

from NEU? idk . but theres a bidgillion online in general

[verbal helm]

im actually kind of glad i didn't get one bc of this

[trim edge]

you think its too late to apply to scholarships?

[hollow surge]

nah

[trim edge]

i thought most deadlines and stuff were in fall

[hollow surge]

neve too late

[verbal helm]

its basically useless

[hollow surge]

theres alot rn

[charred forge]

that’s fair😭😭 they’re gonna give me less aid now and i have to maintain my gpa

[hollow surge]

u can also apply while ur in college too

[verbal helm]

bro its so hard for me to find scholarships

[trim edge]

ill start doing research in the weekend

[empty wing]

in the net price calc i only got 26k from neu

[charred forge]

ngl only local scholarships are worth it

[verbal helm]

neu is not worth it then

[trim edge]

only pay 26k or only get 26k?

[empty wing]

get*

[hollow surge]

bruv just search "scholarships for computer science or whaterve u like"

[charred forge]

not worth but wait for aid package

[brazen kernel]

man if they were cheaper

[hollow surge]

or sports

[brazen kernel]

northeastern has a great campustown

[junior echo]

how arre u getting these numbers

[brazen kernel]

i love cities

[junior echo]

is this need or merit based?

[hollow surge]

they do i love it

[empty wing]

i heard neu dont like low income kids with a house

[charred forge]

https://studentfinance.northeastern.edu/financial-tools-and-calculators/

[hollow surge]

need calculator

[junior echo]

oh

[charred forge]

for the calc it was just need

[hollow surge]

OMG ITS THE ASSETS THAT RUIN IT

luckily i rent

cuz the assets ruin your aid so badly

[charred forge]

im worried that will happen to me bruh

[hollow surge]

like are u supposed to sell ur flippiung house to get an educatoin

[junior echo]

neu endowment is like really low 800 million (for reference bu is like 4 billion) so they are trying to grow by accepting more students in satelite campus.

[empty wing]

yeah but for most need based schools they only care abt income 😭

[hollow surge]

eh idk

[charred forge]

my family owns but we bought ours for 170k like 10+ years ago but with the market its worth like 480k rn😭😭😭

[hollow surge]

but then again NEU covers 100% demostrated need

[twilit hinge]

yea rip

theres goes nothing

💀

[hollow surge]

help llol

[charred forge]

imma be pissed if i dont get aid😭😭

[empty wing]

my family income is 35k but we own a house so that might f up my neu aid

[hollow surge]

wait what age can we file single?

like indepenedant

[twilit hinge]

18 I think?

im not too sure

[hollow surge]

cuz my paresnt were lowkey like if ur dorming just say ur on ur own to get more money

[empty wing]

whenever u live by urself

[empty wing]

lowkey a good idea

[hollow surge]

cuz like we living 8/12 months at a dorm i thnk thats byourselds

[junior echo]

i have a really rich international friend but all his money is in china so techinally hes poor even though hes rich so hes applying for need based aid lmao

[hollow surge]

smart lmao

[junior echo]

which kinda sucks for the people who need it tho

[hollow surge]

exactly

u can also like negotiate i think

be like i really wanna come here but im too broke for ur 87k tuition and like im a good fit for this school

[empty wing]

neu u cant

[hollow surge]

usually works at other schools

ya NEU ........

i mean doesnt hurt if they give u some crazy amount

ur not losing anything

[empty wing]

why they accept me when they know im low income by the occupation of my parents 😭

[buoyant violet]

i dont think honors is a thing outside boston

[junior echo]

lmao what a nice friend u have

[buoyant violet]

well just think abt it why would they give a honors scholarship to someone who they couldve just sent to oakland

yea just double checked honors is only available on boston campus so sorry to say she lied

i woudlnt recommend tho

[twilit hinge]

even if a feeder honors is impressive

congrats!

[hollow surge]

ya ur friends just jelous

cuz ppl like that should just shoosh

but congrats tho!!

i actually had a friend that when i got it she was like congratulated me then like said "its not like u got a full ride hahaha"

she goes to WIT by the way

so she was just trashing NEU arch program

pfffttt

maybe cuz ur honors idk man

[harsh elm]

I also thought my school was a big time feeder (40% acceptance rate last year) but I know a lot of people with insane grades who got deferred so ig not...

[twilit hinge]

bruh

she got beef with u or somethin

lmao

[hollow surge]

bruv

she sounding like she wanted to be the only one who got in

[twilit hinge]

prob

our school only has two acceptances

including me

but we didnt beef with each other

in fact we tryin gto figure out transitiong to college rn together

[hollow surge]

honestly my schools a feeder too but i got in ED and im just not gon say that cuz the EA was competitive

we lowkey so far had 4 EDs get in

[chilly pollen]

Got int NU but not UT Austin love college admissions, percentages dont mean shit

[hollow surge]

4 boston EA

and like 3 Oakland

[topaz fern]

[harsh elm]

[twilit hinge]

thats our history

for here

[topaz fern]

i do think its a lack of knowledge of opportunities (my school is in the sticks) rather than it being a "bad" school

[frank warren]

wtf do you live in mass

[twilit hinge]

i think

[harsh elm]

ya

[twilit hinge]

[buoyant violet]

ty

[twilit hinge]

@buoyant violet added to ur acc

[buoyant violet]

ty

[devout schooner]

They have 2024 data on naviance now?

[mystic tide]

25% of your college experince in a place you don't wanna be?

[white lily]

this ain't the northwestern thread

[sudden dagger]

......

[mystic tide]

this is NEU?

[twilit hinge]

for somene ig

[mystic tide]

?

[twilit hinge]

yea

not my school

[mystic tide]

oh someone else

[twilit hinge]

ye

[mystic tide]

this is mine

(yes school is very small)

idk if anyone got in this year I haven't asked embarrassed bc I was deferred

[buoyant violet]

for at least 2023 7/16 acceptances were ED Boston commits and the other 9 were packaged and shipped so they didnt go

public high school ~30 minutes from northeastern btw

[pliant lotus]

Competitive public in upstate NY

[brazen kernel]

rookie numbers

[buoyant violet]

the 2024 one just isnt updated but the rest is crazy

context?

[pliant lotus]

Pretty good AR

[brazen kernel]

most who got in were people who ED'd or uh got oakland

not many got main campus though

[pliant lotus]

ED NEU is wild

they give like no money and they're crowded af

[brazen kernel]

yeah thats why ed kids get in lol

cause they pay full price

[pliant lotus]

NEU is my new safety school bcs merit aid 💀

(although knowing how higher ed operates it's gonna be sucked out of my need-based and im gonna be fked again)

[mystic tide]

How?

[twilit hinge]

yea looks more like mine

[slate oxide]

my school doesn't have 2024 stats

[twilit hinge]

same

[pliant lotus]

They can adjust my need-based aid however the fuck they want

[twilit hinge]

my schoo locked it until next year

[slate oxide]

mine

[twilit hinge]

damn ok

[mystic tide]

bruh

[pliant lotus]

So they can just give me fuck all in need-based aid, and because my merit aid alone does not take COA below my NPC price, i possibly will benefit not at all from the $27k/yr

[pliant lotus]

damn why is the enrollment so high

That's like twice their overall yield

[brazen kernel]

like we have the # of people who applied cause its automatic from common app. but the # of accepeted/encrolled is up to the student to self-report

[slate oxide]

i'm from massachusetts

[pliant lotus]

ahh

[slate oxide]

ohh got it

[mystic tide]

I thought they added merit onto need based?

[pliant lotus]

Doesn't always work this way

[mystic tide]

dumb

[pliant lotus]

if they did, i'd be going for free
but i highly suspect i will not be going for free 😭

[brazen kernel]

also even if you ED'd (especially to NE cause of the 87k tuition), you can try to back out due to financial reasons

[mystic tide]

If I get into my ED2 I might have to back out ngl 💀

[pliant lotus]

didn't

[brazen kernel]

backing out is hard though

theres like a whole process of proving that you really can't afford it

[mystic tide]

likw what?

I mean I should be able to do it

[brazen kernel]

pretty sure they look at your FAFSA in more detail and a list of your assets

like if you own a boat, they'll just tell you to sell it in order to attend 💀

[mystic tide]

If I show them the cost my family has rn and the amount our savings has decreased I'd imagine they'd release me

[mystic tide]

bruh

[pliant lotus]

yeah

[vale seal]

idk its not showing anything before 2023 its not accurate

competetive public magnet hs in nyc

[harsh elm]

look at my school bruh

rookie numbers dawg

[harsh elm]

^

the people accepted from this year are all ED tho so idk about EA

[brazen kernel]

holy

yeah i take it back

[limpid venture]

isnt neu ed acceptance rate crazy high
like 50% high

[harsh elm]

50%

[limpid venture]

yup

[harsh elm]

but you gotta pay that 80k

[brazen kernel]

*90k

[limpid venture]

fin aid + scholarship

[brazen kernel]

ED students don't typically get fin aid

[limpid venture]

eh
idk probably

[brazen kernel]

thats why they have a crazy high acceptence rate

[limpid venture]

im sure u could negotiate though

[brazen kernel]

you'd be lucky to get merit too

[harsh elm]

ya my fin aid rn is bad but at least I did EA so I can see my options

[brazen kernel]

yeah but if they say no and you ED'd, youre stuck

[harsh elm]

they dont usually negotiate

[brazen kernel]

yeah that too

[harsh elm]

imma try tho 😤

[limpid venture]

ehhhhhhh im sure u can get out of ed if u really cant afford
u could say, i used net price calc and got x price which i can afford, so i applied but the offer of y is too much

[charred forge]

yes bro those kids are crazy

[charred forge]

two of my friends got in ED and they're paying under 18k/yr

[meager isle]

bro left the server

rip

[charred forge]

oh

💀 just realized

[meager isle]

not that high

if you combine both ED1 and 2

[meager isle]

this is untrue

merit is merit and CSS estimate is based on your income, a finalised fin aid award can be higher or lower than the est number. cause they take into account FAFSA asw

for my income bracket i got a decent amount lol

[junior scroll]

how off was it from your npc

[meager isle]

around 5-10k ish off

cause NPC gives u like what 3 categories

whether you pay low, best, high

[zenith goblet]

Guys any idea when ED2 will come out ?

[waxen ember]

Hey guys, I was wondering if I should submit my sat for rd.(Math-740;R&L-630)

[shut smelt]

their average SAT is 1465, so I would recommend not

[untold shale]

i submitted 1450 to mckim

but 790 math so that may help for business

[waxen ember]

Oh I also saw that the 25th percentile was around 1460 but I think I saw somehwere in this server that they submitted it so I was just wondering

[twilit hinge]

If ur near 1450 yes

Otherwise I wouldnt

They said to becomr a competitive applicant a 1470+ would be best to submit

[untold shale]

fuck i forgot to email northeastern

about submitting my own supps in portal

i need to asappp

[twilit hinge]

But if u really need ur sat score and its close enough u should be fine for making it in

Ye u can gl!

[noble stag]

Wait there’s a place with data from every school showing how many get in?

[charred forge]

search up x university common data set

[noble stag]

Oh ok

[trim edge]

did anyone get rejected from northeastern?

i only heard people getting deferred, no rejections

[shut smelt]

one of my friends got rejected

[tired meteor]

check the pins

[coarse compass]

same

[frosty harbor]

UT or NEU?

i got into engineering for both

[light bone]

ut better

[frosty harbor]

but NEU i got 60k

idk neu has those co-ops

[celest light]

Ut fs

[radiant snow]

dont go to new york no one wants to live there

[pliant lotus]

Real

[open lynx]

why NYC is the dream

like in ur 20s yk

[still wraith]

Scared to. Also very scared my offer is gonna get rescinded cuz I dropped a dual enrollment course 1st semester

[verbal helm]

u got a 60k neu scholly?

[frosty harbor]

its in total

so all 4 years and then i might get some f.aid

[grizzled bough]

neu

[twilit hinge]

Both are great, just consider the cheaper one and go from there

Idk if ut gave u anything yet

If they cost around the same I perfer ut tbh

[meager isle]

you won’t be rescinded

unless you like commit a felony

[round wyvern]

is there any speculation on when ed2 comes out

also should i be sending them any new info after being deferred > ed2? like should i send an email to ask if they want any extra info

[topaz fern]

Pretty sure it was Feb 15 last year

[round wyvern]

do u think i need to send extra info

theres not much but theres like 1 or 2 ecs i didnt list on ym commonapp i could add

[topaz fern]

Up to you

Couldn’t hurt

[round wyvern]

it might 💀 theyre super fluff ecs

[topaz fern]

What are they?

[round wyvern]

just being a girl scout and doing some of the award presentations, and a magazine i did for two years but only like 10 hours per year total so

[meager isle]

depends on the level of commitment

if its like yeah 10 hours per year id prob leave it out

[west hare]

does anyone know what charge you need to get rescinded

(i have not gotten charged im just curious i swear)

[mellow crystal]

id say a solid misdemeanor would do it

[barren pendant]

You would need to explain why you dropped it

But its only 1 so it shouldn’t be that big of a deal

[topaz fern]

Probably should have included, but not worth messaging them about imo

If it was more than 10 hours I’d say go for it

[round wyvern]

yeah its not

[round wyvern]

i wanted them to spend more time on essays, i put my 8 best ecs

[topaz fern]

8 is good 👍 I only had 5

[round wyvern]

what was ur gpa/sat

[topaz fern]

3.7/4.0

Test optional

[meager isle]

yall dont think theyd see if i got a detention right

@twilit hinge

[topaz fern]

No lol

Suspension you’d have to report but not a detention

[meager isle]

alr bet

kinda weird how being late is as bad as doing anything else at my school 💀

[twilit hinge]

No

[mortal grail]

turns out a kid from ym school got in so they had the chance to look at my school's application

which means i just got deferred

[white lily]

bruh i got dean's scholarship and i didn't even realize 💀

[buoyant cypress]

where do u see that ?

[white lily]

under decision letter there's something that says view scholarship award

[buoyant cypress]

oh ok word

neu grant people rise up

[blazing scaffold]

I got deans scholarhsip and was super excited then found out it was only 1000 per semester

Not even making a dent in my tuition

[charred forge]

damn wtf

[blazing scaffold]

Literally the total is like 2% of my total tuition

[charred forge]

jesus they make it sound soo crazy too

”deans scholarship”

[blazing scaffold]

Fr I got so hyped before I saw how much it was

Not complaining tho money is money

[charred forge]

but they take the scholarship into consideration for ur need aid : (

[blazing scaffold]

I didn’t apply for need aid so its a net positive

[charred forge]

you didn’t apply for aid wtf 80k+ is never worth it 💀💀

[blazing scaffold]

I don’t need aid

Nor would I qualify

[charred forge]

80k+ is never worth it💀💀

[blazing scaffold]

Yeah I’m leaning towards uva over Neu because it’s a lot cheaper

And imo a better option

[gleaming juniper]

uva clears

[charred forge]

good

[blazing scaffold]

For cs idk

[charred forge]

go where the money is bro

[blazing scaffold]

Also I like Neu location better

[gleaming juniper]

nah for cs too imo

[gleaming juniper]

fair

[blazing scaffold]

But there’s no point in thinking about this right now I have more schools coming out anyway

I’m just happy I have two great options already

And I can relax

[charred forge]

yea thats good

[silk charm]

You got Boston?

[blazing scaffold]

nu.in

but i dont mind study abroad

[silk charm]

Oh ok

[round wyvern]

I didn’t even know this could happen

Mine is 3.4, but without freshman year 3.65, and I have a 1560

[charred forge]

deferred to RD?

[meager isle]

i mean why wouldn’t

they

[round wyvern]

idk I just didn’t think abt it before

[meager isle]

although that would be very sad tho

😭 triple chance

[round wyvern]

cant wait to have gone through all the stress of deciding to ed2 just to get deferred again 🤩

[coarse jacinth]

Do they rescind for shit grades because I'm kinda doing ass in one of my classes rn

Not failing, but not good

[buoyant violet]

not often

[atomic ibex]

i think in one of the acceptance things it was like no grade below a C

so you will definitely have no issues with Cs but u may (not fs) have issues if you get something below that but you’ll have to talk to them

[twilit hinge]

yea idk how much they force that upon u

imma try my best to stay B- and above tho

[atomic ibex]

ya fs i think not even just from a college standpoint but also just like from my own standards of myself lol

[twilit hinge]

fr

[coarse jacinth]

Yea I saw the C thing but my school doesnt use letter grades so idk whats considered a C

[meager isle]

if you fail and need the class to graduate

then yes they would care

[coarse jacinth]

Good god no I won't fail the class

[meager isle]

besides that like, as long as you don’t commit a felony

[coarse jacinth]

Of course...

[devout schooner]

The deposit for nu in is 3700?!

[atomic ibex]

is that abnormally large?

tbh i have no idea what deposits r supposed to look like 😀

[coarse jacinth]

Would a 79 be acceptable in an AP class? I'm not sure if the +10 points weight count towards it or not...

[coarse jacinth]

Expensive school

Very expensive

[meager isle]

teachers are praying on my downfall 😭

[meager isle]

in the hundreds typically

[atomic ibex]

ohh damn

[meager isle]

like boston was only in the hundreds lol

[atomic ibex]

expensive ass school

[meager isle]

its cause NUin ur going legit abroad first year

[buoyant violet]

do yall not know what deposits are

its a pay now vs pay later issue

[devout schooner]

I thought it was just confirmation

[atomic ibex]

ig they REALLY don’t want you to uncommit

[devout schooner]

I mean if housing fees are included in the deposit…

[buoyant violet]

yea so you confirm by paying x amount that you dont have to pay later

[atomic ibex]

is the deposits diff for boston vs abroad programs dyt

[devout schooner]

Yea

[buoyant violet]

sure its a lot but its not extra money you have to pay

[devout schooner]

For me it’s 1200

[atomic ibex]

oh i see

[devout schooner]

So I think it depends on the program

[atomic ibex]

that makes sense tho cuz there’s a lot more logistics w abroad stuff

i got in for nuin

[devout schooner]

Well… I’m London scholars for a full year so idk about that

[atomic ibex]

oh…

[devout schooner]

😂

[atomic ibex]

LOL

[devout schooner]

Maybe you go to Boston in a semester

[atomic ibex]

do u qualify for aid?

[meager isle]

yeah the value is diff, i forgot how much i had to pay for boston depo

[atomic ibex]

yeah i do

[meager isle]

def under 600 tho

[atomic ibex]

why tf is nuin deposit so expensive then wtf

[devout schooner]

So that’s why there’s two parts one for the foreign program: 1200 and the rest for Boston

[atomic ibex]

also why is slow mode still on

[meager isle]

ur going abroad

[atomic ibex]

yeah but london scholars is less

[atomic ibex]

ohh this makes sense

[meager isle]

🤷‍♂️ diff rates i suppose

[buoyant violet]

london is NU's own school, nuin is with other universities

[atomic ibex]

i see

[meager isle]

boston would not be more than the foreign

[devout schooner]

Yea idk

[meager isle]

@buoyant violet do people that get hotel dorms have diff rates than normal dorms

[atomic ibex]

@meager isle what school are you at?

[buoyant violet]

i do not know the rates for hotels

[meager isle]

i Ed’d to northeastern lol

[atomic ibex]

oh so ur committed to neu for next year?

i was just thrown off by ur verified college/grad

[meager isle]

yeah class of 28 like everyone else

[atomic ibex]

and why ur name is purple lol

[meager isle]

prefreshman

[atomic ibex]

ohh

[meager isle]

cause that’s what seniors practically are :0

[atomic ibex]

i don’t use a2c too much and am just used to seeing everyone in teal

that’s so crazy

[meager isle]

i just answer questions cause

why not yk

[atomic ibex]

congrats on committing!! even tho it’s rly late haha

ya i get that i pretty much know where i am going next year but this server is fun to pop into sometimes

[meager isle]

thanks lmao, congrats on getting in

[meager isle]

where are you committing to dyk ?

[devout schooner]

Bro the portal astrology on this thread was crazy

[atomic ibex]

i verbally comitted to wellesley for volleyball but am just waiting for the official ed2 notice haha

[meager isle]

the portal bug was correct tho, those who got the global scholars bug actually got into global scholars during EA

[devout schooner]

Turns out neu portal astrology does not work

[atomic ibex]

i’ll see u in boston maybe loll

[devout schooner]

Oops

Did not mean to send that

[buoyant violet]

wellesley isnt that close fyi

[meager isle]

you must be really good then 🙀

[devout schooner]

I meant to say I thought a lot of people who got that were either accepted or deferred

[atomic ibex]

ya the 30 minute commute.. with no traffic…

[devout schooner]

As it seemed here unless you know otherwise

[twilit hinge]

wellesley has a cool dual program with mit

[meager isle]

isn’t it the same distance as BC

[twilit hinge]

theres a dedicated shuttle I think that transports between

[buoyant violet]

more than double

[meager isle]

looks like you either taking the train or driving to the city then

[atomic ibex]

haha i wasn’t originally planning on playing in college cuz i thought i wanted to have time to do other things but wellesley has a rly good balance

[meager isle]

BC reminds me of harry potter, i drove 6-7hrs to boston during winter break 💀

[devout schooner]

Did you get in Wellesley college?

[twilit hinge]

was traffic bad

up there

[meager isle]

yeah, lib arts colleges are good for balance overall

[atomic ibex]

they have shuttles like someone mentioned but my parents rly like wellesley so they’re thinking abt letting me take the car up

[devout schooner]

Its not square in Boston

[meager isle]

on the way there was ok, on the way back was terrible. my parents had me drive cause they wanted to sleep. my car moved every 5 min 💀

[atomic ibex]

no not officially but i ed2ed and i had sent up my transcripts and stuff and test scores to the admissions office through the coach and they said i should be good

[devout schooner]

Oh you’re a recruit?

[twilit hinge]

o hell nah

[frigid quail]

is oakland campus mills college?

[twilit hinge]

did u go back like morning or afternoon

[buoyant violet]

yes

[twilit hinge]

Im planning to go back after the welcome day at night

[atomic ibex]

yaaa

[frigid quail]

@trim edge 😭 its over bro, ima just go somewhere else

[meager isle]

how far you from wellesley?

[atomic ibex]

very very far

i’m from il lol

[meager isle]

11am, i can’t wake up early enough for like 6

[twilit hinge]

oh thats prob why

thats ny fdr type traffic time

[atomic ibex]

they flew me out for a weekend to do a visit and while i was there i also saw neu and bu which i liked both

[meager isle]

i can’t even complain abt my 7hr drive then

[meager isle]

NAH ONCE I GOT TO NY

i knew it was over for me

[twilit hinge]

bro I got stuck at atraffic light for one hour

that place is not real

[meager isle]

i ended up stopping at rutgers

ate next to an H mart

[twilit hinge]

valid

[twilit hinge]

walk

[atomic ibex]

that’s still pretty far lol

[atomic ibex]

mmm i don’t think so!

[twilit hinge]

wait

[meager isle]

maybe stop by Appalachian

[twilit hinge]

have u signed withh wellesley

[atomic ibex]

no signing is in the spring

[twilit hinge]

oh

[meager isle]

going back in march yay 🥳

[twilit hinge]

i never understood how that worked tbh

[atomic ibex]

but also it’s not a 100% guarantee i get in

[twilit hinge]

true

[atomic ibex]

it depends on the school but it’s probably more like 95 lol

[twilit hinge]

when do decisions come out?

[meager isle]

i had a friend verbal commit to yale junior year and then sign like in the fall of senior

[twilit hinge]

god damn

[atomic ibex]

feb 11 is speculation but apparently they always come out second week of feb

oh yeah d1 is diffeeent

d1 schools have slots they can give to athletes to 100% guarantee admission

[meager isle]

northeastern has a lot of swimmers and runners ik that

[atomic ibex]

d3 is more like they write a letter of rec and give them a list of names and then just pray

[twilit hinge]

this is so random but lets goooo

[atomic ibex]

if it’s academically selective you still need to have good grades

[meager isle]

yeah my friend wants to go D3 at like tufts or mit for lax

[atomic ibex]

yeah i heard mit is the toughest criteria for recruiting in terms of grades for d3

[twilit hinge]

my friend will be at tufts for baseball

[atomic ibex]

my friend who committed to harvard for vb (d1) got told by the mit coach her grades weren’t good enough (d3)

[twilit hinge]

his coach told him just dont mess. around and he chillin

[atomic ibex]

they didn’t even tell me that

just “you had a very positive early read so don’t worry”

[twilit hinge]

ig thats nice

[atomic ibex]

i’m lowkey still kind of stressed

[twilit hinge]

nah my friend got caught for cheating

in the past

[atomic ibex]

but nothing i can do atp

[twilit hinge]

thats why they told him dont fool around but he's set for the jumbos

[atomic ibex]

at least now if like a reverse miracle happens i still have neu

[atomic ibex]

ohh i see

[twilit hinge]

hope u get into wellesley

[atomic ibex]

i rly liked neu tho i think if i went through admissions normally it def would’ve been a top choice

[meager isle]

if it wasn’t for an injury i prob woulda tried to get signed for a sport lmao

[atomic ibex]

thank you sir 🫡🫡

[atomic ibex]

the tteokbokki has spice tho and it’s soooooooooo good

[atomic ibex]

gt is 60% male

[meager isle]

i can’t do too sweet, usually just got salty or spicy

[twilit hinge]

that actually has crazy flavor

[atomic ibex]

really i love sweet and salty and spicy foods combined

[buoyant violet]

peanut butter or peanut butter sauce?

[twilit hinge]

i think sauce

cause its more liquid type

[atomic ibex]

that sounds very unorthodox no lol

[twilit hinge]

then actual peanut butter

[atomic ibex]

tbh i bet it’s not bad tho

[twilit hinge]

add sesame seeds on

ye its amazing

[atomic ibex]

r u korean

[twilit hinge]

[atomic ibex]

ya true

rice cakes are so versatile

[twilit hinge]

i love rice

[atomic ibex]

in korean food they’re used as desserts and savory foods

[atomic ibex]

same ❤️

[twilit hinge]

ye

they can be literally anything

[atomic ibex]

ik

ugh im hungry now but i don’t want to get out of bed

[light bone]

ok somewhere else then

[meager isle]

too much food talk

[atomic ibex]

well it’s fine for me but for u

[meager isle]

ive already gained 40 pounds since september. just too much good food

[atomic ibex]

that’s actually so real

[twilit hinge]

bulking season is over

[atomic ibex]

sometimes im like i would look rly good if i lost like 5 pounds but then i realized i love food too much

and it’s not worth it

[twilit hinge]

why do they have a whole chicken

[meager isle]

you can sweat 5 pounds off and still eat good

[round wyvern]

[atomic ibex]

uhh i thjnk it might be regional

[twilit hinge]

yea im changing my lifestyle rn

[atomic ibex]

bc i do not have that at mine

[twilit hinge]

[twilit hinge]

oh

[light bone]

[twilit hinge]

[atomic ibex]

well i’m pretty slim but like i just wish my abs were a bit more defined

[meager isle]

im back at a healthy weight now so, ill prob drop a calm 10 lbs or so

[atomic ibex]

and abs r through ur stomach like u need to eat good

[twilit hinge]

im struggling to get my last two abs

they aint appearing as well

i think I just need to cut calorie a bit

[meager isle]

wrestling we just use water retention for definition, so ur losing not like muscle at all

[atomic ibex]

oh yeah my friend is a wrestler and told me abt that i think

[twilit hinge]

whats difference between tteokbokki and dukkbokki

[atomic ibex]

it’s the same thing

[twilit hinge]

oh

[atomic ibex]

it’s just like in korean ㄸ this character can be interpreted as tt or dd

and 어 can be u or eo

it’s just the romanization

[twilit hinge]

ohhhh

[meager isle]

at this same height i weighed at like 126lbs sophmore year even though i started the seasoin at like 132

like a bottle of water is 5-10 lbs back

[atomic ibex]

why do u weigh less than me

[twilit hinge]

yea same

[atomic ibex]

😀

[meager isle]

im 180 now chill

[twilit hinge]

[atomic ibex]

WTF

[twilit hinge]

oh

ok that makes sense

[atomic ibex]

CRAZY BULK

no but 180 is good for ur height i think

[twilit hinge]

i think it is

[atomic ibex]

my friend is 6”2and 200 and has a good physique

[twilit hinge]

I have friends at his height with similar weight

[meager isle]

it is, but ill prob cut on the water tho in the coming months for summer

[meager isle]

on a bmi scale tho this ratio is overweight, its really your body comp in general

[atomic ibex]

ya but he has muscle

it just depends i thjnk

[meager isle]

it depends where you store fat, my body just stores it in my legs and chest

so theres hardly a difference

[atomic ibex]

im 5”9 and i fluctuate between like 135 and 140 depending if i’ve eaten and time of day and whatever

[atomic ibex]

that’s nice

tbh i have no idea where fat goes for me

[twilit hinge]

I think mine is in legs

[atomic ibex]

but i used to be this same height and like 110 freshman year

and i think i like just got more everywhere

[meager isle]

i was this height freshman year 115 cause id do nothing during covid

[atomic ibex]

mine wasn’t cuz i did nothing it was just cuz i wasn’t grown yet

but my body now is better for vb anyways

[atomic ibex]

that’s actually kind of absurd

[twilit hinge]

freshman i was 140

[meager isle]

legs and glutes most common

[twilit hinge]

i was wide kid bruh

[twilit hinge]

yea prob

[atomic ibex]

aren’t u 5”9

[meager isle]

i aspire to be wide, fast metabolism made it hard to grow

[twilit hinge]

yea but I think 5 10 now

im 160 pounds

[atomic ibex]

ur not wide wym 😭

[light bone]

how much do y'all weigh

[twilit hinge]

[atomic ibex]
