Northeastern University (2023-2024)

[frank warren]

Yo did anyone else get a letter from the president of northeastern

I got one yesterday?? Is this normal

[pliant lotus]

yes, it's marketing

nothing special

[prime gale]

Yea they send an acceptance letter by mail too

I got one

[frank warren]

No not the acceptance letter

I got that last week

I got an extra letter from the president and it’s personalized and he talked ab one of my extracurriculars

[prime gale]

Which one

Like what ec

[frank warren]

Isef

I sent them my abstract

[prime gale]

Which is

[frank warren]

Like scientific research

International science and engineering fair

[prime gale]

Hmm prolly just recognition then

[frank warren]

Yeah

[prime gale]

I would think if a college is talking abt aumn you did ec wise theyd be recruiting you to that ec at the school or offering some sort of opportunity for you

Like i do throwing on track and after getting accepted i got a letter thats like “we noticed you do track blah blah and we wanna let ya know you can join our throwing team”

[blazing scaffold]

i got it

[prime gale]

He means like personalized

[tired meteor]

like a physical letter? or an email

[blazing scaffold]

oh

[tired meteor]

damn bro is cracked

[frank warren]

Physical letter

[pliant lotus]

Yeah I got one too

It's marketing

[frank warren]

I don’t wanna go here anyways

😭

[verbal helm]

what???

[twilit hinge]

wat

[trim edge]

bro might be her

[frank warren]

Her

[trim edge]

my apologies

[brittle carbon]

got the admissions package! im in ca lol

[verbal helm]

the only letter i got was the general admissions one with all of the AO's signatures on it

[frank warren]

I got that last week and another one yesterday

[trim edge]

hi are northeastern offices open tomorrow?
i need to call sfs and i was wondering if theyd be open on a non instructional day

[empty wing]

yeah i got one too

a physical letter from president of neu

[buoyant violet]

its a holiday bro i highly doubt theyre open

[trim edge]

Figured

[trim edge]

oh theyre open today

[still wraith]

I emailed admissions last monday and havent heard anything

I know they said not to followup email but atp im scared they didnt see and its pretty important

whats their average timeline?

[twilit hinge]

5 days max

I would call instead

But also note that today's president's day, so chances they arent in office

check if the yrespond tomorrow, otherwise then I would call

[trim edge]

id call

i called them sfs today and they picked up

@twilit hinge you were right btw

[twilit hinge]

?

[trim edge]

my scholarship stays the same even after my brtoher graduates

[twilit hinge]

ye thats nice

[trim edge]

it falls under the northeastern promise ig

[twilit hinge]

yea I saw somethin bout that

[slow warren]

I got a really weird email from northeastern today

I'm not sure if it is a likely

[blazing scaffold]

What did it say?

[slow warren]

Basically said they'd be happy for me to join northeastern's community and if I had any questions I am welcome to email them

kinda weird tho

because it didn't really say that like "you're a top applicant"

or that I'm accepted

just that they'd love to see me "join northeasterns community"

[mystic tide]

thats why they sent the letter

[trim edge]

weird

might be generic from what youve described

[slow warren]

Idk they called my GC a few days ago

and it is from a specific AO

I'll call them to clarify

I already have two likelys so it wouldn't be surprising if I got a third

[trim edge]

not sure

[junior scroll]

duke and who 👀

[slow warren]

Nowhere incredibly special just a small private college that told me I was admitted 30 days ahead of time and gave me a full scholarship

[junior scroll]

full ride pog thats so good

[trim edge]

you got gt?

[slow warren]

Yeah accepted ea2

[shell oyster]

How do I write a northeastern loci

[twilit hinge]

they should have more information on how

not sure how it looks in ur application portal but theres a seperate upload area

for any new info

[trim edge]

damn i wish i got in

i got denied

[shell oyster]

Hm ok

[trim edge]

Can you apply for honors after you get into northeastern?

I wasn’t admitted to honors but I was wondering if you can apply for it once you’re at northeastern

[twilit hinge]

U actually can

Since ur oakland

I just searched this up recently

[trim edge]

Oh awesome

[twilit hinge]

Only boston admits cant

[trim edge]

Can you share?

Details , articles

[twilit hinge]

https://honorsprogram.sites.northeastern.edu/prospective-students/becoming-an-honors-student/

Heres exactly what u need

[trim edge]

is there gpa reqiurements/

[frank warren]

Wild

Did you apply EA or RD

[buoyant violet]

its very very likely not worth it putting in all the effort of essays for nearly no benefits

[slow warren]

RD

[trim edge]

Don’t you get the honors dorm

[frank warren]

Bro the northeastern subreddit is the meanest subreddit

[meager isle]

yes you do

steast

[trim edge]

then whys it not worth it to apply?

[meager isle]

cause there are other dorms that are equally as good as steast. besides dorms theres not many benefits to it

[trim edge]

imma apply anyways

doesnt seem that bad

[buoyant violet]

steast isnt the honors dorm, EV is, and EV ends up being worse than the other options you can get during upperclassmen years

[buoyant violet]

bro says this in A2C

[frank warren]

I’ve never been called an idiot on a2c 😭😭

This was after I said “I’m just curious please don’t be mean” in my post

[tired meteor]

what post

[frank warren]

I deleted it but I was asking about travel to Oakland

[tired meteor]

ah

[meager isle]

then whos steast for?

[buoyant glacier]

all im hearing is that a2c needs to step up its game

(im kidding, that sucks internet anonymity really brings out the worst in people)

[frank warren]

LMAO

[buoyant violet]

steast is just one of the buildings that supports LLCs, no different than stwest or speare or IV

i also meant EV for honors*

[meager isle]

thats the one

i knew it was East something

[stuck bear]

is the northeastern legacy application webinar actually worth watching or no

[slow warren]

It is because there are boston people in it

[round wyvern]

wheni searched up nuin and half the comments were insulting it lmfoao

saw someone say nuin kids paid tuition for the "actual" neu students

[twilit hinge]

tbh I dont even see those, I just see like genuine questions that are being answered

or is this a2c cause that makes sense ig since this school makes kids heated after rejections

[frank warren]

Wild

[round wyvern]

just when i searched up nuin found some years old posts

[twilit hinge]

oh

[verbal helm]

got a letter from the president?

[verbal helm]

why lol

[kind kernel]

[trim edge]

yeah i think everyone did

[radiant snow]

[meager isle]

[twilit hinge]

[strong abyss]

[simple lantern]

2019 was 5 years ago, if youre class of '30, just how old were you when you joined discord?

[tired meteor]

11 lmao

[trim edge]

2030 is insane

[fervent haven]

The youth rises against the establishment of falsity 😈😈😈🔥🔥🦀🦀🦀💯💯✅‼️‼️

[trim edge]

💀

[meager isle]

wild

[celest light]

Whats the president letter supposed to include?

Cuz I got mine and its j rlly generic

[rocky badge]

yeah same

[prime gale]

yea same thas just what it is

[meager isle]

just a message

nothing else

[empty wing]

Everyone gets it

[twilit hinge]

yea even an email

[keen urchin]

Anyone got the admission package mailed to your home address? I am an international student hvnt got it

[round wyvern]

nuin 2024 locations r out

has anyone submitted their deposit like at the end of march and still been able to get the location they want

[trim edge]

where do you check

[round wyvern]

in my portal but did u get nuin?

[round wyvern]

i dont think it'll show

[twilit hinge]

Here are the locations

[round wyvern]

for u specificall

yeah

like in my portal it shows only the ones im eligible for

man i wish i couldve gone to scotland

[twilit hinge]

Le glasgow

[round wyvern]

yeah

[strong abyss]

wait this is sick

is there some downside to NU in because i would totally do that by choice

[round wyvern]

my european friend says glasgow and then qub are the best universities

um

i guess not

i heard you dont rlly go home and ur family has to visit you?

[strong abyss]

but is it just for a semester? or a year

[twilit hinge]

Downside is u dont get to take certain classes

[round wyvern]

sem

[strong abyss]

soryr i dont know much ab it

[twilit hinge]

Semester

[strong abyss]

thats awesome

and its just ur first sem then ur in boston?

[round wyvern]

yup

[twilit hinge]

Its not bad tbh, may be harder to transition back into boston, but since the community u have there is smaller u will have friends going back at the same time

[round wyvern]

u can only choose locations that apply to ur major though

[strong abyss]

dude why did i not put that as my 1st choice lol

[round wyvern]

i put it sa my third but im now glad i got it over oakland

[tired meteor]

that seems v funnn also glasgow is so pretty

[twilit hinge]

Frfr

[tired meteor]

wait why aren't you eligible for all of them

[twilit hinge]

My classmate is going there

[tired meteor]

is it like a stats specific thing or

[untold shale]

Wait questrom is in Boston right

[round wyvern]

they offer different majors

[twilit hinge]

Major

[round wyvern]

not all offer engineeirng

[strong abyss]

i wanna go abroad but i only wanted to for 1 semester and i was always worried ab taking a sem abroad halfway thru my college experience. being able to go 1st then coming to boston for the rest seems sick

[untold shale]

Cus I’m only gonna go to Boston

[round wyvern]

my friend doing business has different locations than me

[twilit hinge]

Some classes dont get offered by certin locations

For example cs fundies u cant take until u come back to boston

[tired meteor]

ohhhhh

[twilit hinge]

They planned it all out

[untold shale]

They have it in Boston tho no?

[round wyvern]

not for nuin

[strong abyss]

where can i see the applicable majors?

[twilit hinge]

Uhhh that im not sure

[round wyvern]

they used to havea chart

[tired meteor]

lol im the opposite i didnt wanna go abroad at the very first but would totally go in third year
nu in is perfect for you tho, go for it!

[round wyvern]

under location eligibility

but idk where it is now

[tired meteor]

if you applied rd, you might have the option to switch?

[strong abyss]

ya i may switch

im just a little worried about pricing

[round wyvern]

anyone know what would happen if i apply to switch from bioeng to chem eng

in my protal

[round wyvern]

housing is included i think

in the fee

um

yeah

[strong abyss]

wait this is awesome

[round wyvern]

@dull owl went while getting aid

[strong abyss]

id be a little scared tho

[twilit hinge]

I do think nuin is lil more expensive

[round wyvern]

idk how common that is

[round wyvern]

oh im scared shitless i cant handle change

[strong abyss]

going immediately abroad seems scary but such an awesome experience imo

[twilit hinge]

It is coooool

[round wyvern]

i moved one mile in elementary school and threw a tantrum all summer

[strong abyss]

omg

[round wyvern]

less than a mile

[twilit hinge]

💀

[strong abyss]

i loveee change sometimes.

[untold shale]

Is nuin where u have to go to London for ur first semester

[strong abyss]

do you know where i can find accurate pricing?

[round wyvern]

anyone

[strong abyss]

ig i could just loiok iot up

[strong abyss]

probably nothing

[twilit hinge]

I think just look it up

[round wyvern]

nuin is you go abroad for your first semester

[twilit hinge]

It doesnt change much per year

[strong abyss]

ope it says its 40k

[twilit hinge]

Global scholars is where u go london first semester

[twilit hinge]

Everything included?

[round wyvern]

but then u do oakland second sem right

[strong abyss]

idk if this means just for the NU in sem or the whole first year....

[twilit hinge]

Correct

[round wyvern]

first sem prob

[twilit hinge]

First sem

No way 40k the whole year

This school would be even more overcrowded with people getting a crazy deal 😭

[junior scroll]

all europoean?

[round wyvern]

yeah

in the pst there was canada and aus too

[strong abyss]

ughhhh

then idk if i cant afford all that

[round wyvern]

someone here got a shcolarship while doing it idk

or aid at least

found a friend in math whos also thinking of doing nuin!

she's got completely diff locations than me though :(

[untold shale]

Bro if I get into nuin ima be lowkey sad cus ain’t no way I’m going to London AND California

I mean it sounds fun but too big of a commitment

[tired meteor]

NUIN isnt london and cali

thats global scholars

nuin is first sem europe

at a partner uni

[round wyvern]

That’s global scholars not nuin

[untold shale]

still wouldnt want to go to europe im not gonna lie

maybe ill change my mind but for now im ehh about that

[strong abyss]

does anyone know the acceptance rate for nu in?

im debating emailing/calling them and seeing if i can switch it to my 1st choice

but id be happy either way w that or boston so lowkey whatevers easier to get into LOL

[verbal helm]

i would sooooo go to spain

[untold shale]

I’m going to Spain with my school

In April

Hype

[strong abyss]

lucky

[untold shale]

https://tenor.com/view/tiger-gif-19620634

[tall hare]

Is RD harder than EA?

[untold shale]

For northeastern it’s roughly the same

Imo, once u take in all factors into account (athletes, daddys building-ers, etc)

[trim edge]

nah i didnt i am just curuious

[trim edge]

wish there was something in the middle east

[twilit hinge]

maybe in the futrue

some of those locatiosn are new I think

[trim edge]

i think getting in ea is harder

most people just get deferred frmo ea

[pliant lotus]

Kinda funny

If u need to donate a building to get into NEU ur a massive clown

[untold shale]

word

they have good sports tho

so lots of athletes

[still wraith]

Am i cooked?

For context I emailed about withdrawing from a dual enrollment elective and how it showed up as a failing grade on my mid year report

[untold shale]

just explain it to them

they cant kick you out for it if it isnt actually an F

and if u already got in, it cant have negative effects

[round wyvern]

i changed my major in the portal from bioengineering to chemengineering

hopefully i dont get rescinded

but like

the option is there so

[twilit hinge]

u aint getting rescinded for that lmao

u might just get rejected to change, but. I doubt it

[round wyvern]

In the portal it just says ur response has been submitted so idk

[trim edge]

mine autochanged

i changed from cs and economics at ccsh to cs at khoury

[twilit hinge]

ye just wait a bit

[mellow crystal]

is mid year grades the only thing that deffered applicants are evaluated on?

[round wyvern]

i cant decide between ireland and northern ireland

[buoyant violet]

research the housing crisis in dublin

[prime gale]

Im between spain and greece

Spain seems to be on campus and easier with more food and a gym

[tall hare]

When did RD come out last year?

[still wraith]

I’ve heard greece housing is not nice at all

[prime gale]

So im thinkin spain then

[tall hare]

Am I fucked if I did RD? Or is their RD acceptance just low because they defer a ton of people? 36ACT/3.94UW and shit ECs

[late quartz]

hi - does anyone know if we have to commit in order to choose the NU In locations or can we choose our preferred places without needing to commit?

[prime gale]

Ur not screwed

Its part defer u right

[round wyvern]

you have to do ur first deposit to guarantee ur spot there

yes

[prime gale]

But they mainly fill their spaces ea ed

[late quartz]

oh 💀 bruh nooo 😭 thank you!

[prime gale]

So competition is higher rd

[round wyvern]

yeah sorry :(

im just waiting for my march schools before committing tbh

[tall hare]

Do you think I have a shot though? Ig no way to know

[still wraith]

Ur cs?

If u a male lmk i need roommate options !!

[late quartz]

me too 😭

[round wyvern]

what locations are u thinking of doing?

[prime gale]

Nah im math+bio

[prime gale]

I mean you always got a chance

So

No ur not screwed

What did you app for

[tall hare]

CS+CE combined major

Housed in school of eng

[prime gale]

Uh

Is ce chemical engineering

Well if it is maybe its a little mahover

But if u got like over a 1500 and good grades you always got a shot

Ur just competing with the 2 most competitive majors is all in the harder rounds of admissions (not much harder than ea though its likr the same-ish)

[tall hare]

Computer science + computer engineering I should’ve specified

[prime gale]

Bro may die in college hope ur prepared for allat

[tall hare]

36 ACT superscore, 3.94UW with 12 APs and 4 dual enrollment classes

[prime gale]

36 act?

[tall hare]

Yeah

[prime gale]

I mean youre totally a contender

[tall hare]

Thing is my ECs are kinda shit, captain of a sport and nothing else really

[prime gale]

Id say ur not screwed

[tall hare]

I’m basically all numbers but that does seem to kinda be what neu likes

[prime gale]

🤷🏻‍♂️ it is what it is

Id say dont think ur screwed

[tall hare]

Also they are a need aware school and I’m not requesting need so maybe that could help idk

I think I’ll just stop thinking about it, decision prob in a few weeks

[prime gale]

Yeah

You totally got a shot dont count yourself out

Esp with numbers that hold their own

I got in with goofy ah numbers ngl 💀

[tall hare]

Did you EA?

[dull owl]

yeah but you'd most likely have to do undergrad classes anyways so you use the nu.in semester to fulfill that, otherwise all classes there have an NU equivalent so you're able to get the same amount of creds regardless

[dull owl]

depends on you! lots of kids went back to the states to spend time with fam, others had fam visit them, all depends on what you want to do personally

[dull owl]

definitely so worth it. i was so pissed i had to go my first sem at first but genuinely it made me so independent, so so grateful for the experience

[twilit hinge]

Tru tru

[dull owl]

they gave me aid for nu.in, so i went abroad to greece for $11k

although i traveled a lot during the sem so i prob spent an extra $2k for flights/activities/food lol

[prime gale]

Yeah i did

I also go to a northeastern feeder school

Like 30 heads get in a year

[untold shale]

What is NEUs sat average

I got a 1450 with a 790 in math (and I’m going for business) is that enough for them

[twilit hinge]

1450 is their 25th percentile

I would submit but idk if its enough hard to say

[simple lantern]

alright see y'all

bets of luck with Northeastern 🐶

i committed to tulane and withdrew my neu app

wasnt about to play the deferral game lol

have fun ED/EA students and best of luck to you guys applying RD

[jolly meadow]

i regret applying here ngl 💀

[trim edge]

i think neu likes more rounded candidates

[jolly meadow]

can i/should i write a loci

[zenith siren]

if u have something to say and actually wanna go to the school ig why not

[jolly meadow]

what if i dont wanna go here 💀

[zenith siren]

i wouldnt bother

im basically doing that

[trim edge]

then dont

[jolly meadow]

😭😭😭

[paper lintel]

fax my gpa is 3.72 uw lol

[round wyvern]

mine is 3.38 uw 🧍

3.43 w senioryear

[paper lintel]

daym

we did it twin

[round wyvern]

true!

[light bone]

3.38 is crazy

[round wyvern]

heavy upward trend, 2.8 and 3.0 freshman year, 3.6-3.7 rest of the years

the 1560 also probably helped

[light bone]

okay fair

how did u get a 3.0 freshman year 💀 💀

[round wyvern]

pandemic sucked ass, my grandpa died, online learning did not work for me, and i got diagnosed with adhd and autism

[light bone]

damn tough year

but the diagnosis wouldn't really change anything right

[round wyvern]

i got medication

so thats why i did better afterwards

[light bone]

thats good tho

[light bone]

right

[round wyvern]

yes

it is good

i put it in additonal info

[olive zodiac]

is 1480 low for CS?

[grave leaf]

I don’t think they admit by major

[twilit hinge]

they dont

except portfolio ones

[twilit hinge]

I would submit, my sat was around that too

[olive zodiac]

ok!

[frank warren]

I was test opt and I got in with honors 🤷🏻‍♀️

[trim edge]

i got in with 1450

id submit

[twilit hinge]

Anything 25th and above def submit

If below then its debatable based on ur other profile like ecs gpa, etc

They told me in an email 1470+ to be competitive, but 1450 is fine

[round wyvern]

just assume that they'll think ur score is like 1300 or 1200 if you don't submit

[strong abyss]

ugh maybe i shoudlve submitted

whatever

[pliant lotus]

Depends entirely on background

Comparing to your school average is a good starting point

like if your school avg is 1100 or something like that, for sure submit a 1400

[strong abyss]

my school avg act is a 23 Lol

I think our avg sat is 900? maybe

[pliant lotus]

kinda crazy

[strong abyss]

i lowk wish i had submitted or j retook the act one more time

i did mid but compared to my schools avg is good

but test opt jsut made me feel like i shouldnt submit anything below a 34 or 1500 lol

[pliant lotus]

idk about NEU tbh

their asses do not have time to thorougly read 100k apps

im sure many get thrown out quickly but still

[strong abyss]

no yea fs

im j saying in general

[pliant lotus]

ofc yeah

[strong abyss]

im rlly considering calling and ask to switch my top choice to NU in

buuuuuut financially idk.

also going abroad 1st sem is a little intimidating

[round wyvern]

yeah they do habe sat as very important tho

[trim edge]

how do you check your school average

[trim edge]

their fin aid is really good

i make 150+ and they gave me a crazy amount

[frank warren]

Yeah I ended up getting a rlly good amount

[trim edge]

you going?

[dull owl]

my SAT was ass, sent it in, still got in

[shut smelt]

they gave fin aid alr? i thought fafsa wasn't out

[trim edge]

they dont need it

[dull owl]

idk how the hell neu admissions works but it's def not about stats

[trim edge]

oh btw i called neu

[dull owl]

for everyone at least

[trim edge]

and my fin aid gonna stay the same even after my brother graduates

[shut smelt]

then how do they know how much u need?

[dull owl]

hell yeahhhh

[trim edge]

css and you gotta send some other documents thru idoc

[shut smelt]

ahh okk

can unis rely completely on css? cuz i submitted css but can't submit fafsa (technical errors)

[trim edge]

yup

[dull owl]

yeah i think neu did that for me

[trim edge]

they essentially do fafsa for you on idoc

you gotta submit your tax returns and w2s and stuff to neu

along with your css

so essentially they got fafsa and css

[shut smelt]

got it thanks

[junior scroll]

if you dont mind me asking how much did they give u?

[pliant lotus]

wtf

that's absurd

i gotta appeal for sure

do they take appeals when the offer is only tentative

[trim edge]

idk if itll work but try

[pliant lotus]

are your assets super low

[trim edge]

ngl dm me

im not sharing here

[pliant lotus]

my fam AGI is less than that and I got basically 0 need-based with only 27k/yr merit

[pliant lotus]

WTF I SAW

our assets are less than that (excluding retirement)

fml

[trim edge]

😭😭

[pliant lotus]

gonna go complain to them on monday

ig

[trim edge]

helps to have a sibling in college

[pliant lotus]

I have one

in college

[trim edge]

you'll prob have to pay round 20-30

[pliant lotus]

im chill with that

[trim edge]

which honestly is a really good price

[pliant lotus]

they want me paying 50 rn

fuck that noise

[trim edge]

bro my calculator said i had to pay 33k

[pliant lotus]

my calc said like 24k

[trim edge]

i gotta pay like 30

if i tkae a small loan its only 23k a year

but theres no real point to take it

just get a job on campus, and you'll be fine

co-ops will be able to pay a lot of tuition

[slow warren]

My GC confirmed my letter was a likely

I didn't know NEU sent out likelys tbh

[shut smelt]

they send likelys?

[frigid quail]

its not worth t

[jolly meadow]

Yea esp with WashU there is no way i choose to come here anyway

[slow warren]

I wasn't aware of it

but it appears so

can't find anything online about it

so we'll see

my GC called and they didn't call it a likely but heavily implied it was

[tired meteor]

show?

[slow warren]

I think I sent it before

[tired meteor]

i can't find it rip

[slow warren]

it was a while back I'm on my phone in bed rn

so I can't seem to find it either

I might not have sent it

[tired meteor]

rip

[slow warren]

I'll send it again tomorrow when I'm on my PC

[tired meteor]

congrats tho

[slow warren]

we'll see

I'm not entirely sure

[tired meteor]

2 likelies is insane

[slow warren]

if it is a likely for neu since they are so cryptic

[tired meteor]

ok but you still have duke lol

[slow warren]

yeah

no universe I pick neu over duke

because of in carolina promise

[tired meteor]

fr😭

[tired meteor]

even without

[slow warren]

nah I'd consider without because I just wanna get out of NC

[tired meteor]

oh

ok valid

[slow warren]

I have a pretty serious legacy from my grandfather for NEU

[tired meteor]

did you apply ivies?

[slow warren]

They don't officially consider legacy from non parents

but it might apply in this case

[slow warren]

No

I only applied to Duke because I was told to

and NEU sent me a fee waiver

[untold shale]

hi are there any current NEU students here? i had a question about something so if I could dm any of y'all, it would be great

[tired meteor]

oh

[slow warren]

I don't really have much interest in the ivys/traditionally prestigious schools

[quiet pendant]

wpi shouldve said yes fr

or is it rpi

[slow warren]

I think they'll accept me RD

they just deferred me

WPI deferred me and RIT accidentally rejected me then deleted my decision and accepted me with presidential scholarship

so idk what that whole thing was about

I think WPI just didn't have enough info about me to make a choice

I've overwhelmed them with info now

so we'll see

[round wyvern]

do u guys think neu is worth full cost if i dont get anywhere else good

[tired meteor]

forgive me if this is wrong but from my understanding, you'll only be paying for one semester from the second year? because of the whole co-op thing. so effectively your tution will be like 45k/y which i think is p good

[round wyvern]

oh interesting

i didnt know that

[tired meteor]

double check tho bcuz this is just info i gleaned from this server and thus it's not really reliable😭

[slow warren]

No

81k a year for neu is not worth it

go to your state flagship

[round wyvern]

1. my parents are paying and 2) i wont get into a good uc

[slow warren]

All the UCs are good

and unless the cost of NEU is trivial

to your parents

full pay is not going to be worth it

[grizzled bough]

cc --> berkeley

[round wyvern]

parents wont let me do cc

[round wyvern]

idk im not gonna get aid anywhere so

they told me not to worry abt it

[slow warren]

If they told you not to worry abt it that is your answer

[round wyvern]

but i feel weird about making them pay this much

yk?

[grizzled bough]

how much can they afford

[round wyvern]

yeah so like

they dont tell me anythign

but i live in the bay area and they both work in tech

so

[grizzled bough]

81k should be nothig

[round wyvern]

💀

its

its probably still something

my mom got upset at me for asking to get boba like 2 days ago

[grizzled bough]

if theyre not telling you then we cant help u

[slow warren]

there is no such thing as a bad UC

but it also isn't your job to manage your parents finances

if they are willing to pay for NEU

and you want to go here

then do that

[round wyvern]

yeah i guess

[round wyvern]

well yeah but i guess if theyre telling me not to worry i prob shouldnt

[prime gale]

When can i choose nu in locations

Is it open yet?

[round wyvern]

yeah but u have to make deposit first

but u can see ur options alr

[prime gale]

I did

I dont see selection button

Just the options

[round wyvern]

hm weird maybe email

my grandma said she’d knew I’d get in here bc of my horoscope

[twilit hinge]

Wat 💀

[normal pawn]

Damn

[trim edge]

can i get rescinded if i drop a class

does northeastern get end of year transcript?

[round wyvern]

i also got a handshake

[trim edge]

how does housing work?

[twilit hinge]

not really unless u got a good reason

most of the time tho if u drop and it wont affect ur graduation ur ok

u just gotta ocmmunicate before they get your transcript at the end of the year

[twilit hinge]

for oakland they'll send like an updated email about it, not really sure how hosuing works there

[trim edge]

wdym?

im trynna drop diff eq 😭

i dont even need this class for my cc \or my hs graduation

i only took the class so itd look better on my srar

[twilit hinge]

if ur counselor is fine with u dropping it then u good

liek its not needed for graduation

just talk with them if u can and they'll contact ur counselor

[trim edge]

like from my hs or cc?

[twilit hinge]

if its within ur hs, then ur hs

if its de and outside of ur hs then cc

[trim edge]

idk if imma get a W on my transcript tho

if i get a W on the transcript if i drop now then im definitely not gonna drop

[twilit hinge]

yea im not sure cause its already march

pretty much

so dont know how lenient they are on u dropping

[trim edge]

i emailed northeastern and i told them im thinking about droppnig diff eq and its not gonna affect my graduation and i wanna see if i can get it approved

[frank warren]

No cuz why am I in the same position

[trim edge]

i read the terms of admissions and it seems like i need to get them to approve it before i can drop it

[frank warren]

Down to the class

[trim edge]

bro this class is so boring

its not even hard

i just have no fun in it

[frank warren]

I completely forgot integrals

[trim edge]

same

[frank warren]

And I’ve been doing science fair

[round wyvern]

yeah

[frank warren]

And so I’m completely behind

[trim edge]

i just wanna chill bruh

[frank warren]

So I’m so screwed

But I’m waiting on ivies and idk how it’ll look

[trim edge]

i got 3 midterms this week😭

phys 2 diff eq and discrete math

[frank warren]

And I got into neu honors so idekkkk

[trim edge]

im not trynna do this

[frank warren]

I’m prob committing to neu tbh

I hate all of this I’m so burnt out

[trim edge]

northeastern fr a good school

even if everyone hates on it

[frank warren]

Idk

All my friends are going to insane places

And now I just feel like a failure

[trim edge]

i got a friend going to gtech

[strong abyss]

real LOL

[trim edge]

but other than that most of my friends going to my state schools

[frank warren]

I’m talking harvard and McGill LMFAOOO

[trim edge]

depends on major ngl

gtech> harvard for cs

and ive never heard of mcgill

[frank warren]

ppl ranked lower than me got into rlly good schools and im like 🥲

[strong abyss]

mcgill is cool af i wihs i applied

[frank warren]

Like I didn’t do a million APs and isef and podcast and NPO and stuff to end up at northeastern 😭 like I know it’s a good school but I worked hard and everyone at my school got in

[trim edge]

fr

im happy i got in tho

[trim edge]

i only took 1 ap🙏🏽

[frank warren]

I took 13

I’m just so sick of it

I wish I enjoyed hs and didn’t have any goals

So I wouldn’t feel so shit right now

[trim edge]

which aps?

[strong abyss]

12 aps and spent my entire hs waking up early af before school every morning for crew and same in the afternoon and then worked on the weekends...and i have only gotten accepted 1 place in state!

[frank warren]

Apwh stats csp physics lang csa apes calc bc psych music theory lit gov bio multi/diffeq

[trim edge]

which phys?

and theres an ap for multi/diff eq?

[strong abyss]

and then i know people w 3 aps and multiple Cs who got in here & other targets and i just got deferred 💁‍♀️ (i applied RD here tho so praying i get in)

[frank warren]

My school gives ap weighting for it

[frank warren]

Algebra based

[trim edge]

damn your school offers it

[trim edge]

oh

im taking e&m in college😭

thus shit is awful

[strong abyss]

im taking e&m rn its lowkey fun

i mean we just started it lol

i bet it hgets worse

[trim edge]

in hs prolly

[strong abyss]

no yea

we rnt very deep in cuz its just a semester class at my school so SO FAR it's ok buuut i'll check back in at the end of the year LOL

[junior scroll]

my school has boring aps

[trim edge]

I called they said it should be good

[verbal helm]

ok then withdraw.

[jolly meadow]

well im not gonna withdraw

[junior scroll]

why not if there is no way? (gen curious)

[verbal helm]

i'm kind of joking but on a real note there are a ton of people that would love to go to neu

[jolly meadow]

i applied for a reason so i want to see what happens with all the colleges i applied to

i'll never know

maybe if neu accepts me then they might love me so much they give me an even better package

i dunno

[verbal helm]

@twilit hinge is it worth going to the virtual admitted students events?

there's one for my college today

[twilit hinge]

yea great for info

like asking questions mainly

they are recorded and posted later if u miss it tho

[strong abyss]

real asf

[glossy coyote]

yeah i think i'm going to go to the welcome days too

april 19 i'll go

[glossy coyote]

yes i went to one before!

[round wyvern]

idk if i should go to a welcome days im in california oops

[vale seal]

did anyone else get mail from the president thats literally just the email but printed out

[trim edge]

yea

[frigid quail]

exactly lol

[jolly meadow]

my logic is if neu takes me and gives me a good package then its a possibility/they really want me and might negotiate

but good chance neu rejects me without the loci and im ok with that

[frigid quail]

neu is overrated

washu is better anyways

[trim edge]

youre neus #1 hater

[twilit hinge]

nah theres a person named dedicated and hes a sophmore 💀

[empty wing]

412

[kind kernel]

finally recieved my acceptance package

[light bone]

lmao not exactly a fair comparison

and im not sure a ton of people argue w that

[verbal helm]

imo if you want to get in maybe write the LOCI. its not a huge time commitment anyway

[open lynx]

why do y’all wanna go to neu, j curious

[paper lintel]

coop

[twilit hinge]

Ig co-op, location

decent program for cs

[paper lintel]

what have u heard abt their bz program

[twilit hinge]

its nice, really popular major here

a lot of people do business and another major combined together

[paper lintel]

yea i got accepted for marketing

neu my top choice so far

[twilit hinge]

noicee

[paper lintel]

i received 54k from tOsu tho so i lowkey am so lost to what to do😭😭

tuff ass choice

[twilit hinge]

If money isnt a problem at all, I would go to neu

but like 54k is a lot, me personally I'll do Osu

[paper lintel]

ik rankings dont mean shi but its so weird how tosu fisher bz is ranked way higher than neu

really throws me off icl

[twilit hinge]

yea really look at it based on opportunties and programs avaliable

I dont know much about osu business program, but I heard it's great, and with that aid Im leaning a lot more toward osu

even if financially you are ok, 54k saved is great

[paper lintel]

money aside do u think neu will be better career/future wise

[twilit hinge]

tbh kinda hard to say

it really depends on what co-ops and what u make out of them

I assure goin to either for the future will still work out for u

[verbal helm]

co-op, boston, global opportunities

[twilit hinge]

if you really want to set cost aside, then it's really up to you to research the strength of network and location

and school enviornment

[paper lintel]

ima wait for usc and decide then🙏

[verbal helm]

neu co-op program is really really cool

[paper lintel]

its too much rn

[twilit hinge]

but 54k is fr hard to pass up for good school

ya u have until may 1st plenty of time lol

[twilit hinge]

frfr

[paper lintel]

if neu is gon have more potential to grow more at the enda day

id prolly still go to neu

[twilit hinge]

alr whatever makes u feel happier

[junior scroll]

54k is pricey

[verbal helm]

54k a year

[lyric cypress]

54k is honestly light ngl

[verbal helm]

is kind of wild?

[lyric cypress]

Some of these schools are like 90k a year total cost

[twilit hinge]

nah hes getting 54k

[verbal helm]

like its 216k

after 4 years at neu

[lyric cypress]

Oh 54k a year is great

Like insane

[paper lintel]

No no no

[verbal helm]

if u have to rely on student debt i suppose that would not be a good financial decision

[twilit hinge]

yea thats why I think its hard to pass up on

[paper lintel]

54k over 4 years

[verbal helm]

oh

[verbal helm]

wait thats pretty decent

[twilit hinge]

oh

[lyric cypress]

That’s still good

[twilit hinge]

thats still good

yea

[paper lintel]

My sister goes to neu so i just have a lotta bias for neu

[lyric cypress]

Especially from northeastern

[verbal helm]

depends on what you can afford, i guess. but i wouldn't go to any school that costs basically a decent salary

[lyric cypress]

My biggest scholarship was 120k over 4 years but it was from a safety

[lyric cypress]

Yeah I feel that

[paper lintel]

if i just get accepted into usc ion gotta debate between tosu and neu no more😭😭

praying

[verbal helm]

usc financial aid 💀

[lyric cypress]

Like my parents for some reason are pushing me to go to a school where my cost is like 70k a year 😭

[verbal helm]

are they paying?? cause u could totally go lol

[lyric cypress]

Yes

[twilit hinge]

my parents are paying for my neu

they were like damn

[paper lintel]

i have very lucky parents.😭

[twilit hinge]

that hurts

[lyric cypress]

But idk why they want to pay extra money

[twilit hinge]

but they chill

[paper lintel]

my parents told me to go to neu over osu even after i told tjem i got 54k from osu….

[verbal helm]

i mean if all you have to pay is 54k over 4 years for neu thats amazing (i'm assuming you can afford this)

[twilit hinge]

my sister went in state for me to save money def not a coincedence

[paper lintel]

Tosu

[lyric cypress]

My friend is currently being guilt tripped out of going to a Great school cuz his older brother chose Michigan out of state

[paper lintel]

i wud be paying full for neu😭

[twilit hinge]

they vcan apply aid

[verbal helm]

usc financial aid screws most people but im happy it wont be a problem for u

[paper lintel]

im not expecting aid tbh

[twilit hinge]

Like someone here got good aid cause they have a brother goin to college rn

[verbal helm]

my God 90k??

lol

90k a year for usc

[twilit hinge]

michelle here's 90k too

[paper lintel]

my sister pays bsically that for neu😭😭😭

[verbal helm]

loll

[twilit hinge]

its 87k estimate

[junior scroll]

90k is a no no anywhere

[verbal helm]

if your parents are rich why not lol

[twilit hinge]

but if I use money right I can tank it down to 78k

[verbal helm]

fr eddie??? i'm so sorry

[twilit hinge]

nah is ok

[paper lintel]

i mean i still wanna save my parents money

[open lynx]

r the co-ops rlly worth it if ur doing business and Econ

[paper lintel]

idk why they want me to go to neu after a 54k scholarship from tosu

[twilit hinge]

my family already got money saved in case I got something his expensive

[twilit hinge]

honestly any coop is

its a level between internship and real job

[verbal helm]

is it easy to get a co-op

[open lynx]

like if money isn’t a problem would y’all do neu business or mccombs at ut

[twilit hinge]

depends on major

[twilit hinge]

texas?

[lyric cypress]

Bruh they cannot

[open lynx]

yea mccombs

[twilit hinge]

I like ut austin a lot

[paper lintel]

id say mccombs

[twilit hinge]

damn

[verbal helm]

if i go to neu i'd major in public health and maybe buisness too so i'd look for either hospital or consulting firm co-ops? idk what i want to do

[paper lintel]

austin is prolly the fastest growing city in the nation rn

[twilit hinge]

yea mccombs is awesome

[open lynx]

aight bet im rescinding from here then

[lyric cypress]

His parents have the money they would just rather spend it on other shit

[twilit hinge]

u can take ur time to decide dont worry

[twilit hinge]

rip

[verbal helm]

are biz co-ops hard to find

[lyric cypress]

His dad bought an 100k boat then says they don’t have money for his college

[twilit hinge]

nah ur ok

[verbal helm]

yeah i will, totally

[twilit hinge]

they're stil lcompetitve

like for me cs I gotta apply prob around 200

💀

and maybe get 1 or 2 offers

market is so bad even amazon is starting to cut down in the coop hirirng

[verbal helm]

200??

[twilit hinge]

yea thats prob average

for cs

its a lot of shotgunning resumes until u get an interview

[frigid quail]

nah its just mid should be ranked behind penn state

[trim edge]

You gotta do a lot of stuff to bulk your resume

Projects and work nd stuff

[twilit hinge]

yea

Idk how many projects is enough

bbut imma be jus tactive in cs clubs and work on two big personal projects maybe three

[trim edge]

I got a few things down alr but I’m gonna apply for some more cs related jobs this summer so my first internship won’t be hell

[trim edge]

What kinda stuff do you got rn

[twilit hinge]

Nothing

[trim edge]

Oh

[twilit hinge]

I started learning programming back in december

lmfao

im not applying any internships this summer

[trim edge]

I see the I started in 11th

[twilit hinge]

im gonna do nu acclerate courses and make projets

[trim edge]

Im just gonna be doing some cs teaching stuff during the summer

[twilit hinge]

ye thats great for activities

[trim edge]

Try joining hackathons

Those are good for side projects

[twilit hinge]

idk how they really work

are they like make cs projects on the spot?

[trim edge]

Neither do I but I heard they’re good 🙏🏽

[twilit hinge]

yea ik neu has multiple hackathons

[trim edge]

I believe so

[twilit hinge]

i wanna get into competitive prgramming

[trim edge]

Try learning something on your own during summer

[twilit hinge]

thats where I can practice apply speed and effectiveness

[trim edge]

What languages do yk

[twilit hinge]

im learning rn whle in school

uh js java python

thats all so far

[trim edge]

That’s a solid base

[twilit hinge]

most familar with java from csa

[trim edge]

If yk Java you’ll know c+¥

C++

They’re mostly the same

[twilit hinge]

js rn cause I learned html and css

I heard C# is similar to java

but a lil more features

[trim edge]

C++ is more simillar

[twilit hinge]

but C++ not really

fr?

[trim edge]

Java was made to be a better c++

[twilit hinge]

which one to learn first

C++ or C#

[trim edge]

I say c++

Learn c++ then Java then c

[twilit hinge]

Idk what projects I can amke with C++

[trim edge]

C++ is good to teach you how pointers and stuff work but it’s not too memory based like c

[twilit hinge]

yea true

[trim edge]

My friend make a black hole simulator

[twilit hinge]

ik C++ is used heavily in games

[trim edge]

Using opengl library in c++

[twilit hinge]

how does that work lol

[trim edge]

Idk it’s crazy

It’ll fry my pc if I ran it

[twilit hinge]

is it like visual?

[trim edge]

Yeah

[twilit hinge]

ooh ok

[trim edge]

create like a simulator or something

I created an infix to postfix calculator recently

Using Java

So when we write 3+4 in a program the computer interprets it as 34+ that’s the postfix

[twilit hinge]

whats an infix to postfix

[trim edge]

So I created a program to convert normal stuff (infix) to computer readable expressions (postfix)

[twilit hinge]

ohh ok

Yea idk what simulator I can make ig

for now imma work on making my CRUD website with js and learn react

prob understand these fully so I can make some projects I have in mind before moving to more backend routes and sims using C++

[trim edge]

Oh frame works are really good to know

React angular vue

I wanna learn js

[twilit hinge]

yea I should learn those

[trim edge]

Try type script tho

I instead of js

Most companies prefer typescript over js

[twilit hinge]

idk what makes one better tha nthe other

[trim edge]

So type script is basically JavaScript without like auto keywords

So in Java script you use the let key word and the compiler infers the data type

[twilit hinge]

mhm

oh so typescript is basically like java

[trim edge]

Like let x =5 when you execute the code the compiler says oh this x should be an integer and take up 4 bytes of memory

[trim edge]

No no it’s exactly JavaScript

[twilit hinge]

so instead u can say int x = 5

oh

[trim edge]

Exactly

It’s called type safety

[twilit hinge]

thats the only difference?

[trim edge]

That’s why most companies use typescript over js

[trim edge]

That’s the r main difference

[twilit hinge]

just the use of variable decleraiton?

[trim edge]

All the other syntax is the same

Yup

[twilit hinge]

ok thats good tok now

thought be a huge learning curve

[trim edge]

Makes a huge difference tho

[twilit hinge]

I actuall yperfer that

cause it felt so weird saying let something be everything

[trim edge]

You can prevent a bunch a errors by declaring data types

[twilit hinge]

yea

I had to hover if I was working with a double or int or string sometimes

[trim edge]

Yeah that’s why I like statically typed languages like Java and c/c++

[twilit hinge]

it gets awfully annoying

[trim edge]

Problems mostly occur when you run out of memory

Like if you need 8 bits to hold this type but now you need 16

[twilit hinge]

cant u tech make a new variable then

[trim edge]

Causes memory leaks and stupid errors that can be pregented by writing 3 letters

[twilit hinge]

and stor ethe 8 bit into the 16
