Northeastern University (2023-2024)

[pliant lotus]

😭

[mystic tide]

how do you pay 40k a year when your family makes 150k a year

40/150 = 27% of yearly income

talk to current freshman with that course load (or similar) and ask how they manage it

ask if it's a good idea, they'll know how it is at your school

[raw dove]

when does northeastern ed2 comes out

[round wyvern]

define not the best

if it’s 3.7+ I’ll scream

[brittle carbon]

it was 3.7 uw haha 😭

[mystic tide]

same

I thought 4.2W/3.8UW GPA and 1550 SAT would clutch

no... deferred

[brittle carbon]

oh interesting i had 1530, but my ecs were p good

i think ea was kinda a crapshoot, you got it regular fs

[mystic tide]

My ECs were good as well (def good for NEU). I didn't write a great CAPS essay which might've screwed me. I rewrote it for RD bc I didn't like my EA one.

[mystic tide]

thanks

glad you got in

[brittle carbon]

maybe just a major/college thing, i got into public health thru the health sciences college, idk if thats rly competitive or not

[mystic tide]

I applied biology (not pre-med)

[brittle carbon]

ohhh icic

[mossy drift]

i applied public health too! kinda scared that theyre gonna reject me (i'm test opt) but they accept like 40% of people who apply in my school soooooo

[dull owl]

of course it makes no sense, but colleges are just like this 😭 it'll be the same anywhere else

my gpa was average, my sat was even worse, and my ecs weren't that interesting either, just basic volunteering. if anything, i think my personal essay is was got me in

[brittle carbon]

ahhh dont worry, that sounds promising. i rly hope you get in!

[dull owl]

so neu is very hit or miss...it's super weird

[brittle carbon]

i cannot afford so! we shall see

[dull owl]

did they give you aid?

[brittle carbon]

yea but not enough

unlucky

[dull owl]

😣 good luck, wherever you go you'll be okay though 🤞

[round wyvern]

i got deferred w 3.4 1560

i applied ed2 so well see

[tired meteor]

bro i got deferred 4.0 gpa 35 act lmao

stats aint everything

[raw dove]

Damn

[trim edge]

I don’t think this is true my friend got nearly 40k in need and he makes 150 with hundreds of thousands in assets

[empty wing]

Why financial aid email me to my neu email account and not my main

Almost didn’t see it

[dull owl]

i mean i don't work for their aid office so i don't know exactly lol 😭 i just said it based on everyone i've asked here

and in most cases that's what i've seen, hopefully your friend's experience is what happens to most though!

[grave leaf]

Are there any word limits for the letter of continued interest

[tired meteor]

bro ed2 march 1 is wild

uiuc rd comes that day 💀

[grizzled bough]

o ok

[meager isle]

i don’t think so

[pliant lotus]

What the fuck

It's gonna be so hard to not go off at them when I appeal

[trim edge]

ahh shit i might be getting stuff from them and dont even know it

[trim edge]

do you guys have lots of assets

[pliant lotus]

Our only big asset other than our house (that is not even close to being paid off) is an old family home worth 175k that we rent out for like 30% market rate or something stupid like that

[trim edge]

might be a reason why

do you guys have 529, or large cash balances

[tired meteor]

god writing my loci is killing me because i love this school sm why couldn't they have just let me in

[verbal helm]

must be the assetts

private

[trim edge]

@verbal helm

making over 150 doesnt mean you wont get aid

even if you have hundreds of thousands of dollars in assets you can still get aid

[meager isle]

give me a range pls

😭😭😭

[trim edge]

does anyone know how to log into my northeastern email?

[twilit hinge]

They send u an email to the one u used for application portal

It will be used to activate ur acc

Usually its [email protected]

[trim edge]

yeah i just got into it

i had to contact it and reset my password 3 times today

[frigid quail]

@trim edge whats the aid looking like

[trim edge]

they needed my tax returns before they could issue me any aid

and im trynna see if my tax returns had been processed rn

im otp with financial aid rn

[trim edge]

whatre your plans looking like?

[frigid quail]

cornell my only hope now if not then UMD or UMASS

[trim edge]

try comp eng at umd if youre interested

comp eng undergrad and com sci grad

umd has very good engineering/cs/business

[frigid quail]

is it guaranteed transfer?

[trim edge]

to comp eng yea

you just need to do phys 161(ap physic c mechanics) calc 2 (ap calc bc) and chem 135( ap chem??)

i have a feeling theyre gonna lock down comp eng after cs, so if i were you id enroll in umd and try to complete all requirements and apply before htey do that

[celest light]

27k in schilarships is crazy

They only gave me 5k in a loan or smt

Average bay area moment

[trim edge]

im worried to see mine

[willow cloud]

You should go umass

[half spade]

anybody apply to holy cross?

[tall hare]

You guys think I’m fucked by applying RD? 36ACT 3.95UW and shit ECs

[half spade]

its heavy on yield protect

so do everything possible to show interest

[tall hare]

Done multiple virtual info sessions, went when they visited my school, visiting in person later this month

[half spade]

you should be good

[mossy drift]

Aw fck im getting rejected

i've barely shown demonstrated interest + applied RD + testoptional

😭

[half spade]

i think interest is more critical for high stat applicants

you have time, shore up the interest

[mossy drift]

isnt it still too late to do virtual tours/info sessions or sign up for the mailing list?

[tall hare]

Don’t worry I’ll get rejected for stats 😎

[trim edge]

bro i dont think interest is that important

i literally did nothing and somehow i got in ea

[charred forge]

yea fr

on the common data set all it says is that it’s considered

honestly neu is a crapshoot anyways and they’re weird by trying to like to bring their acceptance rate down and stuff

[trim edge]

ig

[buoyant violet]

every college does that, just NU does it more

just because the admissions may be a bit abnormal doesnt mean the rest of the university is a "crapshoot"

[trim edge]

i think its a pretty good school

[barren pendant]

i mean applying ea is considered demonstrated interest

[trim edge]

i dont understand why everoyne doesn't apply ea

[barren pendant]

yea

no supps required

[trim edge]

cuz like why not right?

its not like its binding or anything

[grave leaf]

Thank you!

[round wyvern]

anyone have any ideas when ed2 comes out

[frigid quail]

idk why this seems harder than the comp sci gateway classes

[frigid quail]

they for sure are going to do it for the popular engineering majors

[trim edge]

it one hundred percent is

[frigid quail]

electrical is super underrated

[trim edge]

calc 2 at umd is insanely hard

[frigid quail]

great

[trim edge]

yeah but they dont do it now

maybe in like 1-2 years

[frigid quail]

yeah prob umass since its closer to home and I got my major

[charred forge]

i meant like admissions 😭 my bad

especially with rd

[tall hare]

Thought there was a chance I wanted neu for ed2

[empty wing]

dw bro i didnt even demonstrate interest and i got in

[brittle carbon]

same

[trim edge]

yeah but its better than regular

[tall hare]

Huh

Yeah but I thought there was a chance I wanted ed2

[brittle carbon]

did you get deferred?

oh jk has it even come out yet 💀

[tall hare]

I didn’t ed2 neu

[brittle carbon]

oh my fault

[buoyant violet]

all good lol most students also agree that admissions is wacky at times

[untold shale]

i just realized NEU has me on their mailing list yay

i visited in 2022 but i also went in like 2021 even tho that wasnt recorded

[round wyvern]

do we know when ed2 is coming out

[light bone]

arent u that kid who changed her ed2 like 5 times

[round wyvern]

it was only twice 😭

technically once!

[light bone]

uh huh

[round wyvern]

i moved my rd from wellesley to ed2, then moved it back to rd bc they dont have engineering and i ed2 here

[light bone]

thats 4 changes

[round wyvern]

its 3

[light bone]

fine

[round wyvern]

and only 2 schools are involved lol

[light bone]

anything more than 1 change to ed2 dont get to speak

🫢

[round wyvern]

i just switched from one school to another

[light bone]

[meager isle]

[charred forge]

yup

just flyers and a paper banner that says husky pride

dude i just want my financial aid letter💀💀💀

95% sure i won’t be able to afford this school

[trim edge]

Same

They needed my tax returns before issuing it

[charred forge]

hmm they didnt tell me anything

idfk why mine is taking so long

for neu and urichmond i still haven’t gotten anything

[trim edge]

On my letter it said they needed the tax returns before being able to issue

[meager isle]

fafsa is taking ages, by the time i get mine im gonna be 40 years old with 3 kids 😭

[trim edge]

I submitted them on Wednesdays and they confirmed they received it

But still no update

[grizzled bough]

Congrats

[meager isle]

i did fafsa when it came out

and the school still hasn’t gotten it

[trim edge]

Okay that’s a fafsa problem

I just did my css and shit a few weeks ago and all my documents

But they requested my tax returns this week

I think next week I’ll get an offer

[meager isle]

they’re baiting me

[verbal helm]

nice! i didnt get my package 😭

[charred forge]

it’s lowkey nothing in it😭😭 just some flyers and a small paper poster

[twilit hinge]

oh ye the poster in there too

[simple lantern]

anyone who got in ea/ed1 got full ride?

[empty wing]

Is that all they give us

[round wyvern]

do we know when ed2 will be out

[simple lantern]

Wednesday

[round wyvern]

wait what

[simple lantern]

Yes

[round wyvern]

no i mean where did u get this from

[twilit hinge]

yea lmao

[charred forge]

yup

but i rather they spend their money on giving me fin. aid than shitty welcome packaged

[simple lantern]

They come out on Wednesday every year.

[twilit hinge]

That's speculation, we don't have any confirmed date

[frail bronze]

So cute

[dull owl]

you'll probably get a bigger banner with a stake that you can put outside some time in the mail too

just a while later lol

[verbal helm]

no 😭 financial aid is not it tbh

[simple lantern]

Can I expect at least 100% tuition fee coverage?

[junior scroll]

lolno

[meager isle]

fr?

i can show my neighbours??

[meager isle]

no

[celest light]

dygs know if oakland gives any acceptance packages too?

i need me more college stickers

[twilit hinge]

wait fr thats cool

[simple lantern]

Shit why

Is it true that ed2 is not that competitive?

[meager isle]

cause everyone applying has around the same stats, unless ur like mega poor ur not getting a full ride

[meager isle]

to an extent

[meager isle]

or if u like cured cancer idk

[simple lantern]

I am😂

[simple lantern]

Liek 3000 applicants appliex to ed2 last year

[meager isle]

it’s a very small pool

[meager isle]

what’s ur bracket range

[simple lantern]

40-50k per year

[meager isle]

the most you'd be paying is like between 12-15k

you def would qual for fafsa

so it would be up to css and any merit

[simple lantern]

i filed css profile only

no fafsa

are they good at giving out merit scholarships?

[meager isle]

ehh, merit is really random, same with honors college

but they give decent institutional aid

[meager isle]

they use fafsa to determine how much you get from css

[simple lantern]

shit i didnt add it to fafsa...

i already filed it...

[meager isle]

just do fafsa now or some

fafsa is delayed anyways

[simple lantern]

i mean i already filed fafsa for other unis

can i delete/add collegfes?

[meager isle]

i think?

ngl idk cause i got in via ED

[simple lantern]

mine is ed2 as well

[round wyvern]

praying

although I’m prob one of the u competitive applicants

[simple lantern]

Yet, you can be rejected

[meager isle]

yield protection doesn’t exist in ED sooooo

[simple lantern]

Whats that

[grizzled bough]

Something fake made up by people who are angry at the world

[tired meteor]

nah it's real

[grizzled bough]

No it’s not

Anecdotal evidence doesn’t count

[simple lantern]

😂💀

[trim edge]

Anyone else get their aid package who didn’t get theirs earlier this week?

[empty wing]

you did?

[trim edge]

Nah I meant I didn’t get mine

Northeastern requested my tax returns on the 7th and I submitted them

But I haven’t got any update yet

[empty wing]

oh

yeah i submitted mine already and they still asked me to submit

i emailed them and they said they dont need any more documents

and is currently preparing the financial aid package

[trim edge]

you had to do your taxes as well?

[empty wing]

no i submitted mine on idoc like in october but they said they dont have it

[trim edge]

i see

[empty wing]

and so i basically told them to check again

[trim edge]

i just submitted mnie this week and they say received on the portal

rn idt theres anything else i can do but wait

[empty wing]

not reviewed?

it changed from awaiting to not reviewed

[trim edge]

oh not parents

i meant my own personal taxes

i got this on the 7th when i tried to view my award

[empty wing]

huh thats weird they didnt ask for my tax return but did for my w2 form

[frigid quail]

heard northeastern going to drop in rankings

[sharp steeple]

why?

[meager isle]

source?

[shell oyster]

Didn’t it already lol

[round wyvern]

it’s technically not even t50 anymore right

#53

[twilit hinge]

yea

idk when even usnews update rankings, don't really care tbh

[meager isle]

depends on what ur looking at

it’s T20 CS

[meager isle]

like every september but let’s be honest no one here is looking at it next year unless ur a senior

[twilit hinge]

fr we out of hs (soon)

[meager isle]

legit 3 months for me

the only reason i’m going to clas in may is just so im allowed to do sports

[twilit hinge]

im goin to class in may cause its parties in there

[simple lantern]

Are we expecting ed2 to come out on upcoming Wednesday?

[twilit hinge]

potentially, we're not too sure

[simple lantern]

coming in boston in may?!?! omg have fun

[meager isle]

once ap exams are over everyone dips

[round wyvern]

idk i guess in general

hey do youguys think my chances are lower if i was deferred > ed2 rather than ed2 straight up

or should it not matter bc i wasnt so bad that i was rejected outright so i still have a chance

[charred mulch]

very much so

plus usnews is flawed

[twilit hinge]

yea tbh theres nothing else to learn

[twilit hinge]

maybe : )

[trim edge]

exactly, do they even reveal the metrics they use to rank colleges?

[charred mulch]

uhh not that i know of

[tired meteor]

they do but not directly like they just say the metrics, not how each school ranks against those metrics or anything

[simple lantern]

Is northeastern good for cs?

[charred mulch]

yeah its pretty good

[meager isle]

they infact did change their criteria so

a lot of public schools shifted up while privates went down

[charred mulch]

Yeah they did

[trim edge]

csrankings got them at 12

they evaluated based on professor and research

but us news the most popular ranking system got them at 35

[simple lantern]

It is #9 in AI

Is it a feeder university?

Lets say to companies like meta, amazon and etc.

[twilit hinge]

Uhh its like #15 in feeding to tech companies

Neu use to feed a lot to amazon

But recent market kinda slowed that down

[simple lantern]

I am kinda worried

A lot of ppl are saying ‘avoid cs’

You cant find a job and etc…

[trim edge]

One of my friends who got into northeastern has a cousin who’s an executive at aws

He said they hire a lot from northeastern bout thru co op and post graduate

[buoyant violet]

theres a bunch of tesla engineers coming this week for both hiring and seeing what clubs are up to

[light bone]

rutgers in state was lowk hard af this year

ik intl kids that were ASSS that got in but like

solid in state kids that got rejected/waitlisted

[simple lantern]

I got into rutgers nb cs this year

[twilit hinge]

Its bad rn

Will recover eventually so I have hope

[twilit hinge]

Noice

[light bone]

i got into rutgers business this year

[trim edge]

My friend got in for oos

Is it easier out of state than instate?

[light bone]

idk

doubt it

i got in oos but ik in state got really competitive this year

[trim edge]

He’s not like the best student

3.5ish gpa I believe 1400 sat and not many ecs

[prime gale]

I got in instate ea i went test optional and had like 3.7 uw 4.21 w

My school is instate and like

They be lettin in anyone ngl there were some unexpected acceptances

We are a neu feeder school though so

[simple lantern]

Cs 3.956 uw, test optional

[prime gale]

Outrageous

[light bone]

we're talking about rutgers

[light bone]

damn ik a lot of people that got waitlisted/rejected from rutgers in state this year that were pretty smart

[simple lantern]

Huh?

[prime gale]

Outrageously good

[round wyvern]

do u guys think ed2 comes out this week

[simple lantern]

Yea

[solar prism]

does nrotheastern want a loci

[simple lantern]

Yes

[twilit hinge]

if I get any info I'll let u guys know

not sure if they send counselro emails for ed2 but theres a chance

[trim edge]

ea comes out before ed2?

[blazing scaffold]

How dare northeastern send me an acceptance package without any stickers

Like what’s the point then

[junior echo]

So true

[vale seal]

wait what state

i havent gotten mine yet

[blazing scaffold]

NY just got it today

[vale seal]

wait im also ny but the city

[blazing scaffold]

Oh I’m not the city

Upstate

[junior echo]

Bro they sent me abroad cuz I have a bunch of abroad Ecs but Boston was my first choice. I'm lowkey pissed, seriously uncool of them, now I get shitty housing, and there were kids at my school who I know for a fact don't have better grades than me get into Boston. It seems like luck

[blazing scaffold]

Bro I got abroad first semester but also deans scholarship

They just put kids there who they think will like study abroad

[junior echo]

That actually makes sense

Did you put abroad as first choice

[blazing scaffold]

No Boston

What I think the campus order in terms of prestige/ acceptance rate is

[buoyant cypress]

any news on ed2

[blazing scaffold]

Boston >= nu in > london = Oakland

[junior echo]

Makes sense thanks that makes me feel better

[blazing scaffold]

No problem

[simple lantern]

Nah

[trim edge]

i want mine 😢😢

[blazing scaffold]

I was checking my mailbox every day for it

And to my surprise it contained zero stickers

Not going to northeastern anymore

[trim edge]

what do you get in it?

[blazing scaffold]

Information packet, acceptance letter, and a cool little poster banner thingy

[simple lantern]

i need acceptance letter on my portal

thats it

[trim edge]

i need my fin aid

[simple lantern]

are we expecting to ed2 come out on wed?

[harsh elm]

they didnt give me jack shit

wait what does it mean that theres no federal aid for gs

like i cant even take a loan?

[charred forge]

damn sorry to hear

[vale seal]

It finally came!

[twilit hinge]

yuhh

[frank warren]

Got mine today as well big dub

[twilit hinge]

I Just realized why is ur folder so creased

[vale seal]

there wasn't enough room in the mailbox 😭

[twilit hinge]

lmaooo

[vale seal]

ill still take it though a win is a win

[twilit hinge]

frfr

[celest light]

What state?

[vale seal]

ny

[celest light]

Ah ok

[twilit hinge]

BEANPOT CHAMPIONS RAHHHH

[meager isle]

you should be able to take loans and stuff

federal aid is just fafsa so ig no 5.5k loans from fafsa

so you just can’t borrow money from the gov

[shadow mantle]

When is LOCI due?

Anyone know?

[charred mulch]

yessir lets goooooooooo

[inland notch]

did y'all get a mail from neu saying decisions were out? Because online on their website it said decisions would be out on 15th, and they haven't sent any mail to me. I checked the portal today and I was deferred and I had to let them know if I wanted to be considered for ed 2, rd or if I wanted my application to be withdrawn by feb 5th and I was like?? Even if I got in I wouldn't have gone but still, feel like they should've sent a mail when they released their decision if they were gonna do it early AND out a deadline

[tired meteor]

I did get a mail when they released decisions on Jan 31 but if you didn't, you could email and ask to be considered

[inland notch]

nah I'm not interested, I was just wondering if they didn't send mails or just missed me out. Thanks!

[trim edge]

you jut got yours?

[grave leaf]

ASAP

From what I’ve heard the sooner it’s done the better

[shadow mantle]

Should I write a little “why us” essay or nah? Or only updates?

[twilit hinge]

U can combine together

unless u have a lot of updates

[round wyvern]

got an email they updated my app w new srar info so either I’m deferred or they’re still doing apps

[simple lantern]

Ed2?

[echo folio]

has anyone gotten their acceptance package

[twilit hinge]

as in the fin one or actual folder

[simple lantern]

do you think ed2 guys will get fin package with the decision letter?

[round wyvern]

yeah

[simple lantern]

they asked to update your srar?

if your mid year report was not messed up, then you have high chances of getting in

at least i had this experience with rutgers

[round wyvern]

No I updated on my own and then emailed to make sure it was updated

and they said they updated my application

[simple lantern]

I see

anyways good luck

[verbal helm]

noooo

[echo folio]

Argh I want it in the mail LOL

[twilit hinge]

lmao its just a letter and horiziontal poster and some like info stuff

[empty wing]

Not even a lanyard 😔

[echo folio]

I got it yay

[coarse compass]

do they send it to international applicants

[twilit hinge]

most likely, just takes longer

[round wyvern]

were there any changes before ea that indicated the decision was gonna drop

[twilit hinge]

just u couldnt edit your decision

but doesnt indicate absloutely when it will rop

[trim edge]

i really want mine

dos anyone else stil not have their fin aid package yet?

[empty wing]

Trim ur nails

[echo folio]

I’m a girl LOL they’re sns

I feel like they’re fine 😞

[simple lantern]

💀💀💀💀💀💀💀

[trim edge]

this is crazy🤣🤣🤣

[empty wing]

Oh shit sorry

Thought u were a guy my bad

I’m not sexist sorry

[round wyvern]

☠️

if I get deferred twice it’s so over

[charred mulch]

lets goooo

congrats :)

[charred mulch]

youll get a lanyard at admitted students day

[empty wing]

Oh. Isn’t that in person? And I gotta pay to get there

[charred mulch]

yeah its in person

[meager isle]

bros worried abt the wrong things

[twilit hinge]

le gas

lebron can pay for it dont worry

[trim edge]

you think i could email northeastern and get them to pay for me to go

[empty wing]

doesnt hurt to try

u go first and lmk how it goes

[trim edge]

lowkey feel like i could pull it off

[empty wing]

yeah u can prolly pull it off by saying ur low income

[trim edge]

bros setting me up for failure

[trim edge]

nah im 150+

[empty wing]

damn

im 35k

[trim edge]

but its still not cheap to go

[trim edge]

damn

did you get your fin aid package?

[empty wing]

still waiting

[trim edge]

same

i was thingking bout calling today and asknig for an udpate

[empty wing]

are u gonna email them

[trim edge]

prolly tomorrow

doesnt hurt to ask ngl

[empty wing]

why not now

[trim edge]

got a physics test tomorrow

[empty wing]

it only takes 5 mins

[trim edge]

i got 5 min tomorrow

[empty wing]

🆗

[round wyvern]

so do we think ed2 is tmrw

[frigid quail]

northeastern only care abt their rankings 😔

[trim edge]

yk i heard this from a lot of people

its not even ranked that high tho

and doesnt every college do things to boost their rankings

[frigid quail]

it went down 13 places this year

from 2020

no supplement = more applicants

artificially deflating acceptance rate to seem more prestigious

and stats as well and sending us to different campuses or abroad

[strong abyss]

and accepting a lot of ppl to global campuses

[trim edge]

how do you see previous years?

oh northeastern was 40th i think

[twilit hinge]

typical a2cer looking at rankings

[trim edge]

rankings fr dont even mean anything

[frigid quail]

all northeastern does it look at rankings bruv

[trim edge]

no source revelas their metrics on how they rank schools

[frigid quail]

search it up

[twilit hinge]

miles u should first look at how usnews

evaluates schools

[trim edge]

exactly

[twilit hinge]

they removed certain criterias that pushed down a lot o fprivate schools and pushed public schools up

if u really care about rankings u should know that

[frigid quail]

who said I care about rankings

[trim edge]

northeastersn has been ranked like top 40 every year except this year by us news

[tall hare]

When was RD last year?

[twilit hinge]

Mid-march

[verbal helm]

where is my admit packet

[grave leaf]

This is only a semi-recent trend

Not too long ago Northeastern was just another school in Boston

And not as difficult to get into

[trim edge]

do yk what the criteria are

[twilit hinge]

Uhh like class size was one of them

i dont remember exactly

[trim edge]

yk where i can find the rest?

[twilit hinge]

u can prob just search up removed criterias usnews

[trim edge]

oh i found them

https://www.usnews.com/education/best-colleges/articles/how-us-news-calculated-the-rankings

northeasterns def better than the 50 ranking they gave them this year

[meager isle]

artificially?

bringing back supplementals would not hinder application numbers by that much. Rn what’s affecting numbers is every school doing test optional

[twilit hinge]

dartmouth bringing back test

[white lily]

acceptance package mid af

[meager isle]

they don't, people don't do their own research and then apply with no knowledge whatsoever abt the school. All cause they hear abt rankings or whatever

Yes, no supplementals and there are fee waivers but again if you don't even know anything abt the school why apply to begin with

[meager isle]

pls explain why ohio state is ranked higher with no supplementals and 30k less applicants than northeastern

BU gets 80k applicants with supplementals 😱 pls explain

[frigid quail]

u pressed?

[meager isle]

😂 cope with logic pls

[devout schooner]

Eh osu is a public anyways

Cost effective so tend to do better on the rankings

[meager isle]

precisely

[round wyvern]

clearly good school is when lots of applicants

neu had more applicants than harvard, so i guess we know which is the better school

[frank warren]

current neu students: are honors classes super hard for cs + business

[meager isle]

harvard of the east!

[round wyvern]

so true

[frigid quail]

its the other way around but alr whatever makes u happy

HAPPENING TODAY

[simple lantern]

it is definitely today

[tender jewel]

rd kids: a month to go…

[tired meteor]

i was gonna say haha im not rd then i remembered i got deferred-

[light bone]

ngl it is artificial but its ok

[meager isle]

i wouldn’t say it’s to make it seem more prestigious tho

more or less to increase yield rate

[light bone]

idk

could be one of many factors for sure

[meager isle]

i was also trying just point that with this many applicants, like can you really be surprised that the acceptance rate is the number it is rn

[simple lantern]

Anyone has changes on his/her portal?(ed2 applicants)

[zenith goblet]

Any idea when are we expecting the ED2 decision to release for everyone.

[simple lantern]

7 pm

[twilit hinge]

Hmm maybe

Until I get confirmation it’s only speculation

[verbal helm]

how can northeastern email me an admitted student guide but not send me a accepted student package

[meager isle]

that’s a postal issue

[round wyvern]

if I get deferred twice

it’s a situationship at this point

[real oak]

just got here but is this true?? i’m very nervousss

like has there been any sort of evidence for this

[simple lantern]

4-7pm fr

Ss this message

[real oak]

where’d you get that from though?

i got rejected from my ed1 school northeastern plss

were we supposed to submit mid years for ed2?? i can’t find an answer but there isn’t a checklist item for it

[round wyvern]

It was a Wednesday last year and ea was also 15 days before the before date

[strong abyss]

does anyone knoe when rd comes out....

[simple lantern]

Mid march

Oh can u react to my poll too

[zenith goblet]

Anyone accepted into london campus ?

[frank warren]

congrats to all ed2 applicants

[midnight vine]

How did ED2 go?

[round wyvern]

who here did nu in?

damn reddit has a lot of people saying theres a stigma of n.u.in students being less smart and stuff i didnt even know that

[grizzled bough]

No one cares

About that

Who gives a fuck what they say

[jagged mortar]

Which Reddit

[round wyvern]

Just when I searched up n.u.in

[twilit hinge]

screw those kids they just mad they got rejected

[devout schooner]

It’s only a semester abroad anyways

Super lucky you’ll be in Boston your first year

[twilit hinge]

^

Whoever be drawing these huskies is doing such a great job

they're adorable

[trim edge]

I got my package

!!

[buoyant violet]

the stigma is a joke but it does exist

ppl tease em for being stupid

[twilit hinge]

😭

[round wyvern]

💀

i mean they're a little right i do have a 3.4 but... n.u.in are still going to the same university as them so idk

[round wyvern]

how bad is it

[twilit hinge]

yo if u come back I think u get the sheraton hotel, and someone shared pics here, it looks amazing

but idk if thats gonna change

[radiant snow]

When does RD come out

[twilit hinge]

mid march usually

[empty wing]

Did they email u or u just randomly checked

@trim edge

For the package

[trim edge]

by package i mean admissions package

like the thing they send you in the mail

[empty wing]

oh

shit i thought u meant financial aid package lol

[trim edge]

i called the fin aid office today and they said that everything is set for review

so maybe by the end of the week

[trim edge]

yeah i wish

[empty wing]

ok cool

[prime gale]

Whens rd decision date

My friend got deferred and is a lil confused

Unless hes bein fr when he says its tmrw

[empty wing]

def not tmr

[frigid quail]

neu only wants ur tuition buddy

they dont care how much u support them in an argument

just accept that they played the rankings game and thats how they created their brand

[trim edge]

😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

bro every college does that

every college wants to up themselves in the ranking

its not just northeastern

its fair game if they wanna do it

[twilit hinge]

neu had the highest jump ig in ranking I'll accept that gaming in ranking if thats what u mean

but like so many colleges have done that lmao

uchicago, usc, some ucs, and more

[trim edge]

like i dont get waht you expect

[twilit hinge]

tuition for privates are more expensive than publics because they rely on student for funding

[trim edge]

do you want northeastern to stay at the same ranking?

are they not supposd to improve and get a higher ranking?

lets say youre playing mario kart and you finish 6th

dont you wanna improve get to 5th?

its natural everyone and everything wants to climb up the "leaderboard" or ranknig

[meager isle]

keep coping

[frigid quail]

ok but neu does it the most and i think most can agree

theres a reason why they send kids to mills college

with 80% acceptance rates

and then the boston campus has 20

thats literally artifically decreasing acceptance rate

so they can make themselves look more prestigious then they actually are

[trim edge]

bro theres not a seperate acceptance rate for campuses

[twilit hinge]

i believe the cds covers all acceptances

[trim edge]

they send people to oakland cuz theres a housing issue in boston

theres not like a seperate application for oakland campus

its the same admissions team reviewing applicatinos

[pliant lotus]

why cant they just stop being greedy fucks

even people on main campus arent guaranteed 4 years housing

[frigid quail]

lmfao thats bad

[trim edge]

yeah they accept more people than they have resources to carry

but its not like they have seperate acceptance rates for any campus

[twilit hinge]

the city wont approve new building plans lmao

kinda annoying cause 6 other companies are trying to get the same plot

if white hall comes back housing should be bit easier to get

a lot of schools dont have guaranteed housing

[twilit hinge]

it was guaranteed but a dorm got water damage

so thet renovating rn and also a hotel into dorm

[frigid quail]

i wish it was true but its not

they send stronger applicants to boston

[twilit hinge]

u still go back to boston regardless tho

[meager isle]

i wonder how everyone would feel if they took out every satalite campus from admissions

pretty sure everyone would still claim artificial acceptance rate right

[twilit hinge]

even if I included all other campus stats based on information shared by counselors, it's still around 10%

[meager isle]

yeah cause they also can’t shove 40k applicants there lol

[dull owl]

not necessarily, lots of nu.in kids got regular on-campus housing as well

but yes the sheraton is very nice 😋

[dull owl]

i did nu.in greece 🎉

only "stigma" is "nu.in kids go back to europe!" but it's not like you get bullied for it here lol

and no one's going to treat you any different

[round wyvern]

was it for engineering?

[round wyvern]

yeah im a little worried just bc ive had problems making friends in the past

but im warming up to the idea

[dull owl]

no, medical, im a neuroscience major

[round wyvern]

ah okay

do the locations change every year?

[dull owl]

don't worry about it, i promise you'll most likely end up finding out that most people you talk to were also nu.in just at a different location

[round wyvern]

and if i dont put down my enrollment deposit right away, is it possible i dont get a spot at a university i want

[dull owl]

nope, locations stay the same as the schools neu is partnered with stay the same

but i think nu.in paris was introduced this year

[round wyvern]

yeah

i saw canada or something in the past thats whyu

[dull owl]

it is possible that the program for the specific location you want will get full yes

[round wyvern]

i wanted to wait a bit for my march decisions to come out

[dull owl]

you might be thrown into a waitlist if u wait but also, i didn't commit to neu until may (because i was committing to uconn up until the last week) and i didn't send in my deposit until mid-may, still was fine though

yeah you'll be good dw about it

[round wyvern]

alright sounds cool

can i add you if i i have future questions?

[dull owl]

ofc! feel free to dm me anytime ❤️

[round wyvern]

great thanks!

[shut smelt]

i went for the college tour and the dorm they showed us was small af 💀

[dull owl]

yeah no IV dorms are literally the size of my bathroom in sheraton 💀

you take two steps and ur at the end of the room 💀

it's very hit or miss

[shut smelt]

yea it was exactly like that

[dull owl]

some dorms are super nice, others are just...wtf

[shut smelt]

no place to walk in ur room

but the dorm building was nice

[dull owl]

yeah which is why the air mattress is in our room because the guy lives in IV but refuses to actually live there 😂😭

[dull owl]

do u remember which?

[shut smelt]

ummm it was in front of the metro rail and there was grass in front of the building

[meager isle]

oh to have a dorm like that

i would not mind a suite either 😭

[dull owl]

that might be IV

[dull owl]

i genuinely got so lucky 🙏 everyone who isn't in the sheraton is in the room regardless lolll

[meager isle]

dyk what year we’re allowed to go abroad if ur starting in boston?

[dull owl]

uhh i think you're allowed to go abroad at any point in time? i see a lot of programs and stuff that promote it

im really not sure though, but i can ask my advisor if you want

[meager isle]

if you can pls and thank you

dyk anything abt like locations offered?

[dull owl]

for nu.in you can go onto their website, they have them all listed there

there's also other abroad programs which should also be listed, but on the northeastern site

because there's some programs that only last seven weeks and whatnot

[meager isle]

oh ok alright

i’ll look into it

[meager isle]

🙀 they have a japan one

and there’s one next to my grandmas house 💀

[outer tree]

northeastern MIGHT be fradulent

[round wyvern]

jesus theres a lot of people saying that n.u.in is for kids who were too bad of applicants to get in normally and are able to afford it

i only marked that i wasn't applying for financial aid because i knew i wouldn't qualify

[tired meteor]

nu in is one semester abroad right?

[round wyvern]

yeah

apparently its for people with lower stats because they're counted as transfer students and its only people who don't apply for financial aid bc you dont qualify when ur abroad

[tired meteor]

you'll pretty much have the same experience as a neu student

so no matter what people say online, i think you shouldn't consider it as any difference from neu

[round wyvern]

yeah but i saw ppl saying they joke about the n.u.in kids paying their tuition andstuff

my parents aren't rich they have to pay for a lot of stuff in india 😭 their untaxed income is too high for financial aid though

[tired meteor]

apply for external scholarships

[round wyvern]

isnt it too late to start now

and my gpa's probably too low for most of them

[tired meteor]

can you afford nu in?

how much is it

[dull owl]

i promise you that's all a joke and something to make themselves feel better lol. all the students i was surrounded by had INSANE stats AND the aid thing isn't true at all. i only paid $11k for the semester and some of my other friends were paying little to nothing because they DO still give scholarship money/aid despite being abroad

[round wyvern]

i am not getting any aid

i checked not interested because i knew i wouldnt qualify

[dull owl]

are you talking about fafsa aid?

[round wyvern]

my parents say yes

but idk how true it is

[dull owl]

because im not talking about fafsa aid either

[round wyvern]

i really wish someone would just

tell me the numbers

rather than just saying random stuff

[dull owl]

im talking about the aid northeastern gives directly

[round wyvern]

merit?

[tired meteor]

btw I had near perfect stats and got straight up deferred neu not even Boston or nu in or Oakland so even getting in is great, don't downplay your achievements

[round wyvern]

yes

on the commonapp

[round wyvern]

i got deferred too

i just applied to ed2 afterwards

[tired meteor]

you're not bound right? see your other offers and consider

[dull owl]

not merit, aid based on need that northeastern gives you

[tired meteor]

still

[round wyvern]

yeah im not

[round wyvern]

yes on the common app i checked no to that

because the income is 200k+

i think

why do parents feel the need to hide finances from kids when doing college apps

[dull owl]

why would you? it's still worth to check it off even if you think you won't get any

[round wyvern]

i have no idea why i did

i think someone told my dad it would increase my chances

[dull owl]

regardless, you can simply ask neu for aid and they will, in most cases, reward you with something or give you alternative solutions

please don't blindly follow reddit lol

nor believe it at point blank

[round wyvern]

no it was my dad's friend 😭

[dull owl]

nope, i couldn't afford it, still went

[round wyvern]

oh

i need to do css profile

i think

[dull owl]

it's because neu themselves gave me aid that i was able to go

and it wasn't an academic based scholarship, my stats are shit compared to everyone else who is part of neu

[round wyvern]

what were ur stats

if i can ask

[dull owl]

ill dm you

[meager isle]

CSS

institutional aid

[trim edge]

that looks super cool

[verbal helm]

neu finally sent me my admit package

i am v underwhelmed

[verbal helm]

dang nice dorm

I thought u alreadd knew whats inside 😭

[mystic tide]

oh for sure

[trim edge]

i got my package

my fin aid package

🙏🏽🙏🏽

[twilit hinge]

ooh nice

[junior echo]

this is literally unsubstantiated i got in nu in and then got into umass cs which is higher ranked

[trim edge]

package was very generous ngl

net price calculator was spot on

[twilit hinge]

[trim edge]

hope to see you

[twilit hinge]

yaaaa

are u gonna stay at oakland?

or just test it out first before goin back to boston

[trim edge]

Yup prolly that

But after a year in Boston I’ll see what I like more

[trim edge]

My package was based off my brother being full time enrolled in college, however he’s gonna graduate by the end of this summer I believe

Do yk like an estimate how much more id have to pay once he graduates?

[twilit hinge]

oh u can do one year boston and oakland then choose?

[twilit hinge]

Isnt it set for all four years

[empty wing]

Did they email u

[trim edge]

I thought they reevaluate every year

[trim edge]

I definitely have the Boston choice after a year but I think I can transfer back

[trim edge]

Yea

[twilit hinge]

yea idk if u can trasnfer back u can look up ig to see

I thought it was okalnd one year, then decide rest at boston or oakland

[trim edge]

I’m sure they won’t mind people from Boston going to Oakland

But I need to see if they’re gonna change my package once my brother graduates

[twilit hinge]

ooh oki

[trim edge]

can someone help me understand the northeastern promise?

[dull owl]

from what i understand, if for example they gave you $23k per semester for this school year, next year when they reevaluate, they have to at the very least give you $23k

so during the four years they won't go below that threshold, they can go higher than that $23k but their promise will be that they won't award lower than $23k

[trim edge]

Thank you

This Reddit post kinda sums up my situation

Can I dm?

[meager isle]

nice

i’m still waiting for mine 💀, they haven’t gotten my FAFSA yet

[trim edge]

Yeah they don’t have anyone’s fafsa yet

[meager isle]

[round wyvern]

what happens if I try to change my major in the neu portal

I want to switch from bioeng and biochem to chemeng and bioeng

my dad seems to think that since I’m in bioeng and buochem they’ll send me to a college of sciences instead of engineering

[untold shale]

since nyu said no i need northeastern

neu pleaaaaase

but this is even more random than nyu admissions 😭

[twilit hinge]

Really easy

Just find the interdisciplinary major and it will update usually a day after

If not then they’ll let u know why but worked for everyone so far

fuck nyu anyways

never liked the school

[junior scroll]

@trim edge if you dont mind hows your finaid package 👀

[trim edge]

Very generous

[empty wing]

better than the net price calc?

[trim edge]

Yup

But it’s based off the fact that my brothers enrolled in college and idk what’s gonna happen when he graduates

Everyone I’ve asked at neu has said that my aids gonna stay the same regardless if he graduates

[buoyant violet]

congrats bro

[round wyvern]

happy for u man!

[tired meteor]

god northeastern is so cool i can't believe they deferred me

@viscid zenith you got deferred too right? are you writing a loci?

[tired meteor]

submitted my loci! hope they appreciate creativity :)

[junior scroll]

how long is ur loci

[tired meteor]

700 ish i think 💀

[shut smelt]

damn mine's 300ish 💀

[tired meteor]

i tried designing mine but failed lmao

[trim edge]

Thank you!

[viscid zenith]

nah im not gonna go anyways

[tired meteor]

same but i can't stand the thought of someone not wanting me, i must make them like me!!!

like rejection is different, you clearly hate me and i love haters

but i need people to either love me or hate me with no in between

[viscid zenith]

nah i accepted it cuz northeastern is freaky and weird witht their admissions and i only applied because of their lack of supplemntals

[tired meteor]

that's valid

i actually love neu tho

if i got a good ish scholarship and honors I'd definitely consider

[viscid zenith]

👍

[lavish thorn]

how did y'all write your loci, like did you use it as a sort of "why us?" essay?

[tender jewel]

valid reason😂

If I ask what is the loic will it make me look foolish?

[lavish thorn]

lmao

it's like a letter of continued interest, from what i understand, it's basically just telling the school that you're still interested after deferral, which makes you look like a better candidate?

something like that

[tender jewel]

Ohhh, understand. Glad I'm rd at this point… writing another essay is the least I wanna do after the season

[verbal helm]

does neu have an admitted students gc

[frank warren]

i also want to know ^
