[burnt escarp]

[mystic verge]

COOKED!

[rare raptor]

[primal sedge]

Yes I think so

[real oak]

yeah, it’s not binding

[empty wing]

Let me cook!

[acoustic sentinel]

did anyone try negotiating financial aid

was it successful

[sand sparrow]

What is happening here

[mystic verge]

That one in the middle looks rather phallic

[lunar mortar]

waitlisted x.x

[sand sparrow]

Is that what you’re trying to do?

[real oak]

i haven’t yet but i will definitely as soon as i can

[sonic viper]

same lol

[empty wing]

It’s my peasant meal

[acoustic sentinel]

yup

[sand sparrow]

Looks like British food

[real oak]

slim to none to be realistic

[sonic viper]

dope

[mystic verge]

i wouldnt count on it

[empty wing]

Cashapp me so I can afford better groceries

[fathom depot]

very very very unlikely

[simple lantern]

lmaoo might see u there

[fathom depot]

have u got into a safety

[real oak]

yikes

[mystic verge]

there is light at the end of the tunnel i was in your same position

[sand sparrow]

https://www.usnews.com/education/best-colleges/paying-for-college/articles/strategies-for-appealing-a-college-financial-aid-package

That may be helpful

Idk why it’s not imbedding

[white finch]

Is the Oakland campus easier to get into than the Boston campus?

[surreal pebble]

no.1 is prob umass for premed
hope i get off northeastern waitlist tho

[burnt escarp]

I mean idk i have like 15 more decisions and got uc irvine which idk if i prefer yet, but might go yeah

[real oak]

i honestly think i applied to too many safeties but i genuinely didn’t think i was getting in so hindsight though but i did spent so much on that

[sand sparrow]

Why don’t you cashapp me and I’ll buy them for you next time

[mystic verge]

ok i honestly have no idea because im p sure most of the other campuses are just used to fill up students that barely couldnt make it into boston

[burnt escarp]

Why you getting roasted it looks like a good meal

[acoustic sentinel]

thank you sm!!

[white finch]

Oh ok

[sand sparrow]

It looks bland

[white finch]

Is it the same with global scholars?

[empty wing]

Fr 45g of protein, 600 calories, about $4 to make

[eager girder]

yoo

[sand sparrow]

You just need some salt

[burnt escarp]

Its good food though sometimes you cant make michelin dishes

[mystic verge]

There is no way that is 45g of protein thats a shit ton of chicken

[eager girder]

send the recipe my brother

[sand sparrow]

Or something

[empty wing]

Salt for what

[mystic verge]

taste

[sand sparrow]

^

Like the food just looks like it has 0 flavor

[empty wing]

Nah I’m just estimating

[sand sparrow]

Get some seasoning

[mystic verge]

id honestly say 60g of protein just from looks alone

[burnt escarp]

chicken doesnt look that bad if u zoom, it got something idk

[fallow obsidian]

send the recipe

[mystic verge]

The only seasoning I use is saffron

[sand sparrow]

I had chicken and rice for my dinner but I’m still super hungry

[fallow obsidian]

how long it take u to make

[empty wing]

The chicken has onion powder, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, paprika, cornstarch, and teriyaki sauce

[sand sparrow]

Contemplating getting more food

[burnt escarp]

but yeah i would eat that any day of the week

[empty wing]

@sand sparrow ur a D1 hater

[sand sparrow]

Broccoli have any salt?

[sand sparrow]

HOW

[empty wing]

Yes

[mystic verge]

Probably salted the water

[empty wing]

Yeah I salted the water

[mystic verge]

Why are you skull reacting thats how you do it

[empty wing]

Is that bad

[sand sparrow]

Boiled broccoli?

[empty wing]

Yes???

[untold shale]

yall i just wanna say smthng

[mystic verge]

Yeah... thats how you cook it!?

[sand sparrow]

So soft…

[untold shale]

class rank doesnt fucking matter i was top 35% just get good grades (mostly A's) and take lots of APS

[sand sparrow]

There are several ways to cook broccoli

[mystic verge]

????? My boy is eating broccoli raw

[empty wing]

U like it hard??

[burnt escarp]

Ayo

[empty wing]

Wait pause

[sand sparrow]

Bro you don’t just boil broccoli

I sautee mine in a pan

[mystic verge]

Boil it and then put lemon

That is all you need

[sand sparrow]

Put some salt, pepper, garlic, cayenne

[sand sparrow]

Gross

[empty wing]

I would do it but I don’t know how to

[mystic verge]

Lemon hate will not be tolerated

[empty wing]

I have frozen broccoli tho so do I just throw it on the pan

Or steam it first

[sand sparrow]

Just put some olive oil or butter (olive oil is healthier) and put your seasoning on then cook it

Steamed is not bad

Or baked

[hearty crag]

is there a way to opt out of global studies program if admitted to it

[empty wing]

Baked broccoli?

[sand sparrow]

Lemon and broccoli don’t go together

[sand sparrow]

Yes

[mystic verge]

LOL

[empty wing]

Yes they do

[sand sparrow]

Do you cook? Lol

I’m joining about that

[empty wing]

Yes

[sand sparrow]

But you need more than just lemon

[empty wing]

Cheese is good

[sand sparrow]

I’m not a huge cheese fan

[empty wing]

Cheesy broccoli is good but idk how to make it

Especially from the school cafeteria

[trail cave]

They have frozen bags of it

[empty wing]

What do u do afterwards?

Air fry it?

[sand sparrow]

You could air fry

[sand sparrow]

Do you like Brussel sprouts?

[empty wing]

Never had them

I can’t afford it

Cashapp me pls

[sand sparrow]

Are you buying the frozen bags of veggies?

Like wdym you can’t afford them

They’re not expensive

[empty wing]

Yes in Aldi

Frozen broccoli is cheaper than normal

And more convenient

[fossil grail]

rob the farmers market

[lyric cypress]

Idk how I got in honestly even to global scholars I had a 3.5 💀

[fossil grail]

Meta strat ^

[sand sparrow]

Probably why it looks so bad

[empty wing]

Broccoli is broccoli

Don’t need to be fancy

[slow warren]

Accepted

[native tide]

Was it for the N.U.in?

[slow warren]

No

Just normal accepted

[primal sedge]

Sheesh good shit

[sand sparrow]

Very true. I just have high standards

[mystic tide]

Wow

rejected... this really sucks

I really liked NEU

considering I submitted my LOCI like 2 weeks ago they prob didn't even read it

My EA essay was trash as well

fuck

[maiden fiber]

i submitted my loci last friday night 🌚

[slow warren]

I submitted my srar a month after the deadline

[mystic tide]

And at the beginning of all this I thought I'd be able to get their national recognition scholarship! news flash I can't even fucking get in

1550 was fr for nothing

[primal sedge]

I got waitlisted 😠 I submitted my mid year on the 11th lmfao

This school is so weird with their decisions

[slow warren]

hey man, its all bullshit, I got rejected from ASU and got in

thees things are unpredictable

[primal sedge]

Some ppl who got likely letters to Columbia and shit got waitlisted

[slow warren]

you'll get in somewhere great

[native tide]

I guess they’re all looking for a certain kind of student

[slow warren]

I'll let you in off the waitlist trust

[primal sedge]

😂 I wish

[fathom depot]

rejected asu is wild

[primal sedge]

Well acc I don’t wanna go here

[fathom depot]

but congrats

[mystic tide]

I didnt play the minority card hard enough in my EA essay

[primal sedge]

I’m gonna reject my waitlist 😂 so hopefully one of y’all can get in

[mystic tide]

so stupid

[slow warren]

I think NEU admits based on stats mostly

[native tide]

Rlly?

[fathom depot]

cap cuz i had good stats and got deferred->waitlisted

[native tide]

I only took 6 aps

[slow warren]

not like there was an essay or anything ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[mystic tide]

nah

[native tide]

No sat

I wrote about my grandpa

[crude shard]

yield protecc

[mystic tide]

they prob used to

[slow warren]

wait ya'll did an essay

[mystic tide]

fuck them, not even a T50

[native tide]

Ye common app one

You didn’t have to submit one?

[slow warren]

I did the common app personal essay thing

but nothing for northeastern specifically

[native tide]

Yeah that’s what I’m talking abt

I only had to do that

[devout schooner]

Northeastern doesn’t have any supps

[slow warren]

Yeah

[maiden fiber]

demonstrated interest is a big thing i think since they have sm apps and they care abt making the acceptance rate low asf lol

[slow warren]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[simple lantern]

i accidentally deleted my portal acc twice

does that count

[empty wing]

How do u even delete a portal

[slow warren]

maybe I'm the exception, but I only applied because they emailed me a fee waiver. No other demonstrated interest.

[mystic tide]

Idk

[native tide]

Yeah I only applied because they emailed me a couple times

[mystic tide]

I literally emailed them before asking about scholarships

[native tide]

I think it’s rlly all abt the essay

[slow warren]

doubt it

[neon aurora]

waitlisted...

[mystic tide]

I'm so fucked

[neon aurora]

does northeastern yield protect

[slow warren]

no

why would they

[neon aurora]

not sure just asking a lot of other unis do

[maiden fiber]

yes they do bru

[mystic tide]

Another thing to consider is if you're applying for aid

[slow warren]

doubt it

[neon aurora]

like i got deferred from case western too and they yield protect

so idk im just curious

[devout schooner]

Tbh when you have this many applicants everything is random

[warm spire]

absolutely

[slow warren]

this

[crude shard]

yeah

[neon aurora]

oh solid

[warm spire]

neu is rich kids

[devout schooner]

Stats and demonstrates interest matter but not enough separation from applicants with the same stats

[mystic tide]

how

[neon aurora]

honestly i dont really care i only applied to this school cus they had no essay i did it like 5 mins before the deadline 😭

congrats to everyone who got in!!!!

[queen stump]

Does anyone know what percent of applicants are offered places on the waitlist?

[thorn stag]

i thought sat mattered a lot

💀

[mystic tide]

same

[thorn stag]

🤯

[mystic tide]

I really think test optional has lowerd the value of a high SAT score

[trail cave]

How many people did test optional

[slow warren]

I think it does

I submitted a 1600

[verbal helm]

did u get in

[slow warren]

Yes

[thorn stag]

i submitted a 1580

[modest horizon]

Lol

How did the NEU kids go

[mystic tide]

I submitted a 1550

[verbal helm]

happy for u

[light bone]

got in lol

[trail cave]

I didn’t submit a 1330😟

[verbal helm]

boston?

[maiden fiber]

i went test optional n i got in 😂😂 my bf got waitlisted with a 1580 4.7

[light bone]

yes

[modest horizon]

Bro I'm happy for you and all but fuck northeastern

[slow warren]

did you get rejected?

[thorn stag]

high income people have access to so much more resources for sat (and retakes)

[light bone]

tbh i don’t like neu either 💀💀

[thorn stag]

waitlisted

[mystic tide]

The fact I got rejected... not even waitlisted 💀

[verbal helm]

sillysheep u might be the only one who did 💀

[light bone]

but i appreciate the decision

[modest horizon]

Bro I was the same

[slow warren]

I'm sure a lot of ya'll when get in off the waitlist

[modest horizon]

Like

[light bone]

wtf was it a slaughterhouse

[modest horizon]

https://tenor.com/view/josémourinho-big-trouble-if-i-speak-prefer-not-to-speak-interview-gif-16725048

[native tide]

That’s crazy

[mystic tide]

I studied like mostly free shit

[modest horizon]

This is me when it comes to NEU

[native tide]

Anybody else here get in?

[stiff sonnet]

went test optional

[mystic tide]

rip

[light bone]

cal state sacramento better

[verbal helm]

yeah i think most people got waitlisted/rejected, nobody got into neu boston except for like 1 person

[thorn stag]

yeah ik still unfair though (in my personal opinion)

[light bone]

💀💀

[slow warren]

I also got boston

[round wyvern]

look at the poll it was like 6% here or something

[thorn stag]

test optional is chill test blind sucks

[modest horizon]

Now i don't encourage yield protection talk everyone

[light bone]

damn tough year ig

[modest horizon]

But

For NEU

I make an exception

[verbal helm]

98k apps

[light bone]

yield protection ong

[light bone]

DAMN

[native tide]

I got in but I have to spend my first semester abroad before I can go to Boston

[tiny sandal]

NEU 🇵🇸

[verbal helm]

ur a lucky one

[native tide]

Did that happen to anybody else

[light bone]

98k is insane

[verbal helm]

lots of folks

[slow warren]

That is what they get for sending everyone a fee waiver

[verbal helm]

good opportunity

[native tide]

So I I can spend the rest of my 3.5 yrs in Boston right?

[warm spire]

it is a school that games the rankings

[native tide]

After I do the abroad thingy

[round wyvern]

nuin? yes

[mystic tide]

Well my parents paid for a cheap SAT class at a local HS and it didn't help me one bit. My score was all from practicing on my own.

[round wyvern]

you start in the spring

[warm spire]

they deliberately lower the AR

[native tide]

Hm alr

[mystic tide]

Why not accept more higher stat people then?

[round wyvern]

all the campuses count except for nuin

for acceptance rate

[mystic tide]

yet they're still barely T50

so what's the point

[slow warren]

Yeah by giving everyone fee waivers not by yield protecting

[round wyvern]

everyone cares abt the coop program

[warm spire]

20 years ago they were a t200 commuter school

[native tide]

Wait what

[warm spire]

now they bag millions from international students

the winning

[mystic tide]

No, it's a great school, it's just overhyped and they really play dirty

[round wyvern]

for acceptance rate overall

[tiny sandal]

Would you have actually attended if you had gotten in?

[native tide]

So because I got into nuin I was voided of that low acceptance rate?

[mystic tide]

I would've loved too if I could afford it

[round wyvern]

of course not

its still a low acceptance rate

[tiny sandal]

Maybe they used finances in consideration

[round wyvern]

id just guess tis closer to 10% than 5%

[native tide]

Yeah that’s what I’m wondering

[mystic tide]

I was hoping to get the same Hispanic scholarship my friend got, he is class of '24 at NEU

[round wyvern]

if nuin was 50% or something half of the rejections would be nuin

but thats clearly not the case

[mystic tide]

My friend got a 28k a year scholarship

[round wyvern]

nuin still hard to get into, nuin is still getting into northeastern

[mystic tide]

for the Hispanic Recognition Award

[tiny sandal]

They filled up lots of the class in ED so they’re just filling in the gaps for these rounds

[mystic tide]

Nu.in is prob just for kids asking for no aid

[tiny sandal]

It’s probably just as random as Ivies

[lyric cypress]

It’s so random

[round wyvern]

there are people who get aid at nuin

ive talked to them

[shut smelt]

me deluding myself to think that my neu rejection is just preparing me for my ucla acceptance

[lyric cypress]

I got in with a 3.5 and 1290 sat

[native tide]

How

[mystic tide]

ik but I'm saying NU.in

They aren't need blind right?

[shut smelt]

wait they aren't?

[round wyvern]

i dont know but i know people ask for aid and get it who do nuin

[mystic tide]

good essay?

[round wyvern]

people w nuin express something about wanting to go abroad or explore though

[native tide]

How much in aid they get

[round wyvern]

my entire commonapp was "looking forward to what i could do in a new environment"

[tiny sandal]

tbh 75%+ state flagship schools are better than NEU imo but that might just be me

[round wyvern]

depends on the student lol

[native tide]

I can take u rn I did not even mention anything about abroad lmao

So weird

[round wyvern]

neither did i

[lyric cypress]

Ig bruh

[mystic tide]

eh co-op is goated tho

[native tide]

It’s like 70 fucking grand Jesus

[round wyvern]

but i talked about being excluded my whole life and improving socially and how i couldnt wait to see what i could do in a new environment

and they took it very literally

[round wyvern]

ur shitting me if you think uc merced is better than neu

[tiny sandal]

🐱

[lyric cypress]

I got waitlisted at Boulder but got into NEU make it make sense 😭

[native tide]

Wtf

[tiny sandal]

okay not Merced but UCSB

[native tide]

It’s like they’re all communicating with each other

[round wyvern]

thats a 20 something acceptance rate

[mystic tide]

congrats! did u apply for aid?

[tiny sandal]

I meant UCSC

[round wyvern]

and theyre not known for engineering like neu is

[round wyvern]

thats still 50-60 not 75+

[lyric cypress]

I won’t get any I think I filled out the fafsa tho

[tiny sandal]

Is it really known for engineering?

[round wyvern]

rankings wise yeah its above santa cruz

[mystic tide]

ok

but no CSS?

[round wyvern]

ive never heard anyone say santa cruz is good for engineering and i live in the bay area so

[mystic tide]

I think financials plays a big role here

[tiny sandal]

Rankings and acceptance rate are bs because clearly NEU is random, stats and acceptance is barely correlated and the UC schools also have a weird system where kids are rejected by Irvine and get into Berkeley

[round wyvern]

im sure its not bad just not amazing

[mystic tide]

last year a kid got into NEU from my school with worse stats

[round wyvern]

wait were you saying 75% of state flagship schools are better than neu or that state flagship schools with 75% acceptance rate are better

[tiny sandal]

75% of state flagship schools

[mystic tide]

let's hope an Ivy AO randomly let's me in 🤞

my last chance to avoid zoomass

[tiny sandal]

Me too meng

[mystic tide]

Umass*

[round wyvern]

ok i still disagree

[tiny sandal]

Umass chillin tho

[untold shale]

yo who got into neu for rd

did nobody get in 💀

[junior scroll]

a lot were shipped to off campuses

[untold shale]

does that count as nuin?

[junior scroll]

ya idk how many for sure but not a lot of boston admits today

[untold shale]

same shit tbh

[tiny sandal]

[lyric cypress]

I did CSS also but I don’t qualify for shit

[untold shale]

nuin is 4 months thats nothing

[round wyvern]

kentucky louisiana montana idaho oregon kansas oklahoma west virginia tennessee vermont maine new hampshire rhode island delaware arizona

[untold shale]

if full 4 years in cali/london tho thats different

[round wyvern]

thats more than 25% of states i believe that are definitely worse than neu

[untold shale]

or global scholars thats 1 year, a bit less pleasing

[neon aurora]

when did decisions even come out

[light bone]

ngl whichever AO let me in GOTTA be fired

💀💀💀

[untold shale]

bro boston is fucking goated

[round wyvern]

utah wyoming arkansas alaska

[untold shale]

wyoming 💀

alaska 💀💀💀

[junior scroll]

tennesee kinda cracked

[round wyvern]

no someone said 75% of state flagships are better than neu

[light bone]

i think the overwhelming majority of boston campus kids are ed

[round wyvern]

im trying to prove it wrong lol

[light bone]

like over 60-70%

[untold shale]

in whiskey alcoholics, sure

[untold shale]

dawg WHAT

[round wyvern]

scroll up lol

what other states hm

[light bone]

i mean there’s a lot of state flagships that are better

[untold shale]

neus coop program is so good, also neu, imo, is one of the best campuses out there

[round wyvern]

but 75%?

[light bone]

but not 60-75%

[round wyvern]

they said more than 75% actually

[light bone]

that’s insane

[devout schooner]

the campus looks a little small but at least it's in the city

[light bone]

more value for money? probably but

[round wyvern]

.

[light bone]

probably not better

[real oak]

yeah i’m boston ed2 but i’m not sure how true this is

[round wyvern]

we werent talking abt money just the school itself

[light bone]

i think i’ve read somewhere most come from ed

[untold shale]

ucla/ucb, uva, umich, unc is all i can think of (maybe a couple more, or some states for very specific majors like stony/umass for cs)

[light bone]

depends on the program

[round wyvern]

just overall

[devout schooner]

uof

[azure flower]

Most uc’s rank over neu

[devout schooner]

ut austin

[round wyvern]

flagship

[light bone]

for certain programs uiuc uw madison udub iu ut

[azure flower]

oop

[round wyvern]

not all state schools

otherwise i'd bring up all the csus and cunys and sunys

[terse umbra]

Since when?

[untold shale]

u cant say UCR or UC Merced > northeastern 💀

[round wyvern]

uiuc, uwisc

[terse umbra]

Wait

Did northeastern decisions come out via email or portal?

[round wyvern]

santa cruz also lower than neu

[round wyvern]

portal

[terse umbra]

Phew I can check my email lmao

[untold shale]

yes true

[untold shale]

yes for sure

[sand sparrow]

Why the delay?

[untold shale]

UCSB should be below neu

[round wyvern]

mmm depends on major

[terse umbra]

I haven’t been online since rn lol

[untold shale]

for business only la/davis

[round wyvern]

i feel like if i get into ucsb i might go because im in state

[orchid cipher]

Got deferred and then got in, feels good

[untold shale]

co ops are a great thing for business majors

[azure flower]

most lol

[untold shale]

but id also argue neu is amazing for cs cus coops are great for CS too

my mom is a programmer and has tons of co workers with high paying jobs who went to neu and loved it there, and their coops

[trail cave]

Saw some that were 35+/hr

[untold shale]

yeah its crazy bro

[orchid cipher]

CS rankings.org puts Northeastern at a respectable spot

[azure flower]

Yea I love the co ops, that’s the only reason I’m considering

[untold shale]

but i gotta pay like 65-70k a year

[round adder]

@primal sedge yea I got deferred not waitlisted

[untold shale]

hey i mean if i get into cornell/penn id choose them over

[primal sedge]

Makes sense congrats

[untold shale]

thank u !!

[primal sedge]

I’d do VT still lowkey

[untold shale]

VT is nice i heard for like uhhh

what was it engineering?

[primal sedge]

Engineering and CS

[round adder]

Ty

[sand sparrow]

Check it

[untold shale]

right

[round adder]

Yea I’m still going w tech lol

[trail cave]

I’m going to base my decision when the stupid fafsa aid comes out

[untold shale]

u got in?

[trail cave]

I got in EA

[shut smelt]

bro u got in neu?

[untold shale]

oh fire

[untold shale]

YES !!

[shut smelt]

congrattssssss

[untold shale]

thank u!!!

i never did that supplemental email LOL

glad i didnt ngl 🤣

[trail cave]

I’m a triplet with divorced parents mom makes like 40k rn😩

[untold shale]

damn ouch

my parents are relatively high income, although not high enough to say 'oh this is nothing go for it'

[empty wing]

How was the fin aid

[untold shale]

i only got css so far but they offered me 3k a year

[trail cave]

Right now it’s like 17k including room and board

[untold shale]

but css i had to provide 2 parents, for fafsa id only provide 1

[untold shale]

goddamn i wish i got to pay 17k 😭

[trail cave]

Mostly grant and a 10k honors scholarship

[untold shale]

oh shit u got honors?

[trail cave]

Very lucky

[untold shale]

isnt honors like top 5% of the 5% 😭

shit sounds impossible to get

[devout schooner]

it is

[trail cave]

It can’t be I’m really average

[untold shale]

good shit tho

[empty wing]

Is that before fafsa

[trail cave]

For here

[untold shale]

you? im 35% class rank

[trail cave]

CSS estimate

[untold shale]

good gpa/rigor, but competitive class

also i sent 1450 (mid for neu)

[trail cave]

I’m 3/350 ish but no sat and ecs are mid

[empty wing]

No I meant is that not including the fafsa grant

[untold shale]

my ecs were well rounded not spiked

[trail cave]

Yes I believe

[untold shale]

i didnt get to show my passion for business that much since they left out supps

and that rlly worried me, but it still worked out

[empty wing]

Cant u negotiate for more

I’m gonna try my best to negotiate below 10k a year

[trail cave]

Could but waiting for it to be confirmed

[untold shale]

do u think its possible that they shave off 10k+ a year if my shits already like 60-75k a year?

[trail cave]

So surprised because the don’t give a lot of aid

[untold shale]

if i can get my price under 60k percent id heavily consider it

[empty wing]

Idk ur pretty rich right

[untold shale]

not for a new yorker, but generally, my parents are relatively well off

[empty wing]

Rlly? In the website it said they meet 100% and very generous

[trail cave]

Maybe things changed this year

I’m very happy with 17k

[empty wing]

They should have something like free tuition for families making less than 65k

[trail cave]

Being a triplet was a plus

[fossil zephyr]

how good is NEU N.U.in for CS

[frank warren]

congratS!

[stuck bear]

rejected

[untold shale]

well, if you wanna change your major northeastern is an easy place to do that

apparently u can easily switch majors before u enroll, and even to a whole different school (business to cs or english to engineering for example)

[untold shale]

nuin is same shit as boston, practically no difference

its like 4 months u go away

[upbeat lantern]

Yall r cracked wtf

[untold shale]

but i think its good, cus Co-op is the perfect thing u need for CS

[upbeat lantern]

Out here starving

[untold shale]

nah dawg i was ranked top 35%

competitive af class but still

[devout schooner]

weren't you going to do finance?

[untold shale]

something of that sort, idk yet

i wanna double prolly (management+finance)

or mngment+marketing, finance+marketing, etc

[upbeat lantern]

How hard is it to transfer

I fucked uppp

I cant do this anymore 😭😭

[keen urchin]

The acceptance rate for oakland and boston is the same right

[untold shale]

prooobably not. id say its around the same (maybe a little lower for boston) with nuin and maybe even global scholars, but id assume london/oakland for 4 years might be slightly easier

although both are hard as shit to get into

[untold shale]

how many schools u got left? I believe in u!

[keen urchin]

Oh i meant oakland a year and then The transfer to boston

[untold shale]

oh so global scholars. yeah probably

[keen urchin]

Oohhh okay thanks

[untold shale]

ya

but i heard some ppl get in all 4 years to a diff campus

[keen urchin]

oh damn

[untold shale]

idrk how it works, neu admissions is mad sketchy

[upbeat lantern]

😭😭😭

My gpa fucked me up i regret my entire high school career

[lyric cypress]

Bro shit is so tax

Did they let everyone in

[untold shale]

do u have any schools left tho? or did u get in anywhere?

[lyric cypress]

What was it

[untold shale]

i thought my ass rank was gonna kill me but hey i got in soo

[lyric cypress]

I got in with a 3.5 1290

[untold shale]

u sent 1290?

[upbeat lantern]

3.3 unweighted 😹😹😹

[lyric cypress]

Yup

I sent it on accident to every school

[untold shale]

W?

[lyric cypress]

Sad times

[untold shale]

3.5 UW or weighted?

[lyric cypress]

You’ll get in somewhere trust

[crystal pewter]

If you get good grades and take advantage of opportunities then you will be fine. My brother only got into 1 college and went to that college but transferred to university southern cali. Believe in yourself tho

[untold shale]

u got in neu rd with 1290? bro musta had godly ECs

[lyric cypress]

Unweighted

[untold shale]

ok thats not that bad

did u take ap classes

[upbeat lantern]

I wanted to send in my sat but i pressed no on common app and i didnt know where to add my sat scores on the website 😭😭😭

[lyric cypress]

6

[untold shale]

what was weighted then

[untold shale]

damn that sucks im ngl im sorry

[lyric cypress]

My school doesn’t do weighted but if you calculate it it’s like a 3.8

[untold shale]

but wait are u waiting on anything tho?

[upbeat lantern]

Yes i failed ap physics it ruined my gpa i wanna kms helppp 😭😭

[untold shale]

thats not that bad but 1290 and 3.8 def below their average so i commend u for that lol

[crystal pewter]

Keep faith up

[untold shale]

wait it was RD right

[untold shale]

im not worried about getting in, im worried about getting kicked out. cus rn im failing ap calc and im scared ill get rescinded 😭

[lyric cypress]

Dude I swear it’s out of a hat I had friends with much better stats who got rejected or waitlisted and yea I got in RD off deffered

Into Business: Finance with a shit sat math score

[upbeat lantern]

I would try again for transferring but its so much harder for transfers everywhrre 😭😭

[crystal pewter]

What do you mean?

[lyric cypress]

Transfer UNC it’s like 50 percent

[maiden fiber]

i think neu transfer is easy

[crystal pewter]

Transferring can honestly be easier than applying first year but it can also be still rlly competitive. Depends on the school

[upbeat lantern]

Really

[untold shale]

i also got business but i got 790 math

[crystal pewter]

Yes

[upbeat lantern]

Idk man this is so exhausting

[untold shale]

but my ela sat was ass

660

[devout schooner]

nah it's just one but people here have said they've heard stories about people having to stay more than one due to limited housing

[upbeat lantern]

Help we have the same score lmao

[untold shale]

50% is crazy, but thats prolly instate not oos

[crystal pewter]

Yeah but it’s best to keep your head up. Rejections aren’t everything. It’s really what you make with your situation too.

[untold shale]

damn 💀

[upbeat lantern]

Sigh yeah i guess

Idk i dont wanna think rn but congrats to everyone that got in

[brittle carbon]

congrats everyone!!!!

[grave leaf]

A rejection here means nothing for any other school you're applying to

[crystal pewter]

I wish best of luck to you rlly tho. Ik how hard it can be because my brother went thru college app process and only got into one school that wasn’t his first choice but he was able to transfer. Im sure you got thiss

[grave leaf]

Nobody knows what NEU is looking for in a student

[crystal pewter]

Also this

[dawn sierra]

cure cancer

they want a kid that cures cancer

/j

[crystal pewter]

NEU doesn’t have any supplemental questions either. Just personal statement for essays, while other schools have specific supplementals which can help

[grave leaf]

Like the top people in my class are getting rejected from here while others are getting in from my class

[lyric cypress]

Yeah bruh I had 590 math 💀

[upbeat lantern]

I hope sooo

[fossil zephyr]

you got in ?

[upbeat lantern]

But also student life is harder for transfers and everyones already made their friend groups

Idk i hope it works out

[grave leaf]

At a certain point college admissions is a lottery

[crystal pewter]

I wouldn’t focus on the negatives. Focus on what you can do and what’s tangible. You got thiss

[torpid tapir]

im about to fail ap physics if i keep this up

[somber zodiac]

waitlisted🤞🤞🤞

[untold shale]

590 math and 700 english is crazy

[upbeat lantern]

Ur r right kind soul 🙏

[lyric cypress]

I mean to global scholars but yea

[lyric cypress]

That’s what I’m saying

[untold shale]

hey i got 790 and 660 so we kinda on the same boat lol

wait

how did u have a 1290 then

[tiny sandal]

好好地

[untold shale]

my math is not mathing

ohh

mb lol

[cold cliff]

Idk who was talking abt low gpa but I screwed by freshman year and had a 3.5 UW cumulative bc of it

[lyric cypress]

700+590 is 1290

[untold shale]

i said i have a low ass rank (decent gpa just competitive class)

[cold cliff]

...somehow got into neu cs with scholarship

[lyric cypress]

Dude you had a muchhhh better score

[untold shale]

me with a 790 confusing basic math be like

[tiny sandal]

我小猫有一千六百SAT

[crystal pewter]

If you improved ur grades after freshman year that also shows dedication still

[molten crypt]

who else is in waitlist gang

[untold shale]

i mean true but tbf i was gonna get a 1550 on my retake but got nervous and cancelled 💀

[crystal pewter]

Yass

[molten crypt]

hoooooray

i didn't know northeastern was this hard to get into

💀

[crystal pewter]

Same I applied bc there were no supplementals for it haha

[cold cliff]

thats for sure 😭 (2.96, 3.76, 3.9)

all unweighted

[lyric cypress]

I mean I prob would’ve got a higher score I just didn’t care enough to take it again and then I kinda mindlessly submitted scores forgetting test optional was a thing

[molten crypt]

i deadass thought it was a safety cuz its like top 50 but bro 7% acceptance rate for a top 50 school is nuts

we're cooked

[crystal pewter]

that’s rlly impressive, congrats! Heard college AOs mostly want to see you improve if you get low grades freshman and sophomore yr

[crystal pewter]

I thought the acceptance rate was like 30 without searching it up and knowing much abt the school haha

[cold cliff]

the "7%" is really deceptive because of the whole NU in thing

I'd imagine it's closer to 20%

[crystal pewter]

Icic

[cold cliff]

I could totally be wrong though, that's just speculation

But I know it's higher than what they claim

[lyric cypress]

The thing is I prob won’t go to NEU either

[tired meteor]

48 waitlists kinda crazy 😭

[supple rune]

waitlist gang what were ur stats

just curious

[simple lantern]

this round was BRUTAL

[supple rune]

damn 💀

[crystal pewter]

Idk if should share stats

[simple lantern]

its fine i think as long as ur not spamming or like

trying to chanceme

[supple rune]

ur stats r great

[wind vault]

gg i got rejected

[simple lantern]

dang

they really did murder everyone this time around

no mercy

[crystal pewter]

I think it’s bc I forgot to submit financial aid since they’re not need blind and maybe other things. I’ll never know. But I’m happy to see friends getting in very slay

[thorn stag]

4 uw 1580 sat published peer reviewed paper in international journal current lab intern at usc eagle scout scioly captain etc 😄 👍 ☠️

[simple lantern]

DANG

[thorn stag]

i got cooked

[supple rune]

I lowkey feel like they waitlisted alot of high stat ppl because they knew they wouldnt attend

[simple lantern]

rejected?

[supple rune]

😭

[crystal pewter]

Waitlisted

[thorn stag]

i keep getting waitlisted it aint even funny

[simple lantern]

i imagine they wanted you but just had no space then

because i forgot to fill out finaid properly too

[crystal pewter]

Same bestie

[untold shale]

i feel u lool

[untold shale]

dawg what the fuck

[simple lantern]

it seriously was a massacre

[untold shale]

i feel like they gave me nuin so i wouldnt be part of their stats

do they have class rank on their stats page

[simple lantern]

whats nuin

[untold shale]

1 semester in london or cali

the rest in boston

4 months aint terrible

[simple lantern]

oo

hey oakland isnt a bad place

ill tell u that much

[lyric cypress]

I mean NU Global is worse that’s what I got

[simple lantern]

i live close by it

[crystal pewter]

Hope so but admissions process is goofy ahh sometimes

[lyric cypress]

I’m not tryna be in Oakland bruh

[simple lantern]

yeah

its all luck now

[untold shale]

or london

[simple lantern]

how easy is it to get off the waitlist

[untold shale]

or ima try to go to city/state school instead of thsoe locations and then transfer into neu

if i do end up going

[simple lantern]

sadly quite difficult

[lyric cypress]

You could have my spot I don’t think I’ll go

[untold shale]

depends. if they waitlisted a very good student they probably have a decent chance if they show that they actually wanna go

[thorn stag]

got cooked

[crystal pewter]

I don’t think it’s all luck, I think it’s fit and whether they like your personality and ofc academics and ecs. It’s just all a lot of things

[simple lantern]

damn, i saw a few Reddit posts saying that if they called them everyday and sent LOCIs they got it or something

[thorn stag]

personality from no essay?

[crystal pewter]

Personal statement

[thorn stag]

oh

right

[simple lantern]

they like their engagement but those are def the outliers

[untold shale]

shits gotta be somewhat random, like ik they dont waitlist all super high performers. ik someone who got in with like a 101 average, 1580 sat, and like tons of jobs/internships

[lyric cypress]

My personal statement went hard can’t lie

[simple lantern]

yea I'm cooked I' m not a good student

[untold shale]

still try. if u wanna go always do a loci (if thats what neu wants, idk check their site if they take locis)

[simple lantern]

wait did u say 1 semester????

[tired meteor]

4.0 gpa 35 act

[supple rune]

Wait u already got early acceptance to berkeley?>

[untold shale]

same but it was literally about singing. i thought i would get rejected because i didnt get to send my supplementals which were business-heavy

[untold shale]

yes

and the rest is in boston

[simple lantern]

people that were superqualified got admitted about half a month ago

[untold shale]

did u actually get 0A 8W 22R

[simple lantern]

no its a troll

[untold shale]

i was gonna say damn thats tuff

[simple lantern]

they want me in oakland for a MONTH

not even a semester

just 1 month

[untold shale]

oh u got in too? fire

[simple lantern]

yea i think they do

[untold shale]

??

show

i wanna see this LOL

[lyric cypress]

I didn’t even know they had supps my essay was about being raised by a pastor mother and choosing to convert to Judaism and finding a new community

[simple lantern]

yea and they want me to choose between oak and bos

[crystal pewter]

I heard from a Family friend who used to read scholarship essays for a college that they talked to someone on admission board abt students they let in, and they denied some people with perfect stats bc they assumed that person wasn’t well rounded enough and should have struggles (like one B for example)

[untold shale]

wait can i see what they sent u

[simple lantern]

yeah

[tired meteor]

yeah lol

[untold shale]

they dont have supps thats the point. and damn i also wrote a jweish supplemental essay for some colleges

[novel plover]

3.98 uw, TO, mutiple domestic awards, multiple internships, worked as a domestic violence counselor for two years

[crystal pewter]

I think the no supplementals was to attract more ppl to apply (I applied bc of this reason lol)

[untold shale]

so like if they didnt do perfect then they wouldnt be able to handle the pressure and would be a suicide risk/risk of academic probation from domino effect?

dawg what the hell ive never seen that one before 💀

bro got the shiny edition, 0.000001% spawn rate 💀💀

[lyric cypress]

Ohhh ok I’m cooked for Colgate tho they had hidden supps I didn’t know about till after the deadline

[simple lantern]

yea and their scholarship doc says they'll cover most of my stuff for oakland

they REALLY want me to stick around here

[untold shale]

bro for colgate i submitted my supps 2 mins late i hope they dont care

[simple lantern]

i think its because i live super close to oakland

[molten crypt]

same lol

[lyric cypress]

They prob won’t mind

[untold shale]

hmmm do u think youd go?

[untold shale]

hopefully

[simple lantern]

ahhhhh idk i got accepted to umich during the early round so im debating for now

[molten crypt]

northeastern waitlist is basically a reject

o good shit bro i heard neu boston campus is hella hard to get

[crystal pewter]

Yes and also can show that the person doesn’t have a life outside of school or awards and such (don’t mean this to be worded in harsh way, didn’t know how to)

[molten crypt]

you dont have to jip naga anymore 🥳

[untold shale]

what major? if business and mich is cheaper, go umich lol

[simple lantern]

tyty 😁

[simple lantern]

comp sci actually

[agile scarab]

Neu is

[lyric cypress]

I also think I still may have a chance cuz they been pushing super essay free agenda this year and Im from the west coast where no one knows what Colgate is plus I go to a prep school camp that has a relationship with them

[untold shale]

both are good for comp sci ngl

[simple lantern]

JIP NAGA 🔥

[agile scarab]

Cheaper than umich

[simple lantern]

yea

i just gotta wait for the other t20s now

im praying

[molten crypt]

nah bruh i woke up from my nap and my mom was like "WAKE UP WAKE UP I SAW ON MISSYUSA NEU CAME OUT GO CHECK"

[simple lantern]

my mom too

[molten crypt]

😭

[simple lantern]

she woke me up from a nap

to tell me it was out

[molten crypt]

i was having the most goated nap

[untold shale]

do ivys think the same way? like would they take ppl with B's here and there but has a well rounded overall application

[molten crypt]

and she interrupted

😠

[simple lantern]

i had a B here and there

so hopefully

surely

[untold shale]

same i had a handful although mostly A's

no C's thankfully

[molten crypt]

how many total?

[untold shale]

this smester im def getting a c for smthng tho

unless i clutch

💀

[simple lantern]

1

fsohaidohgdaiughdd

[molten crypt]

how is that "here and there"

💀

[simple lantern]

its omnipresent in my life

your personality must be stellar

[crystal pewter]

I’m not an AO, but honestly from what I’ve heard, Bs here and there won’t end your chances at all. Since a lot of top schools already get qualified applicants, they’re looking for people who are also helping their community (this is what I heard from northwestern rep). Also, personality and fit and your essays getting your voice will help that. Academics aren’t everything in life too. Networking can carry you farther

[simple lantern]

i hope they like helping the community 😭

i have 2k service hours

thats fucking awesome

they love a redemption arc

my friend got UIUC after a soph year of straight C's

[crystal pewter]

Community can also be more than volunteering

Volunteering is good way of showing that

[crystal pewter]

Also rlly impressivee

[supple rune]

So is NEU Waitlist an actually good sign?? 💯 💯 💯 💯 🔥 (coping)

[simple lantern]

yes 🔥 🔥 you were so good looking they had to make you wait while they took it in 🔥

[supple rune]

nah but fr tho so many cracked ppl got the waitlist pile 😭

[simple lantern]

i wonder if its something they said in the essays

[molten crypt]

nah neu waitlist is basically impossible

98000 applications is crazy

(they think theyre a UC)

[brittle carbon]

huh💀

[primal sedge]

Istg

I don’t even comprehend this school

[simple lantern]

i straight up think its because i live here

i can basically walk there if i rly wanted to

[swift kestrel]

Anyone know percent of people that get put on the waitlist?

[brittle carbon]

yeah their acceptances are a mixed bag idk like ik someone w a 3.4 gpa and like 1300 sat who got in and i had a 4.0 and 1530 and got in

[primal sedge]

15%

[brittle carbon]

they like half yield portect idk 💀

[primal sedge]

It makes 0 sense

They have 0 supps

[brittle carbon]

oh maybe idk

[primal sedge]

Yet ppl with 4.0 can’t get in

🤔

Like some do

[brittle carbon]

well i applied as public health

[primal sedge]

But like so many with a 4.0+ got rejected or waitlisted I don’t get it

[crystal pewter]

Fit, personality, personal statement, ecs

Grades aren’t everything

[brittle carbon]

:( its okay its so rng

[mystic verge]

Maybe their personal statement reflected being an NPC

[junior scroll]

what fit they getting from no supps 🤡

[simple lantern]

maybe

[primal sedge]

Fr

[mystic verge]

Personal statement

[crystal pewter]

Personality from personal statement?

[mystic verge]

Extra curriculars

[simple lantern]

my personal statement was about how i got cancelled

they mustve ate it up

[mystic verge]

What you do during Highschool typically reflects your character and your personal statement adds to that

[brittle carbon]

yeppers

[crystal pewter]

My friends personal statement who got in EA was rlly controversial

[brittle carbon]

now how did this happen

[crystal pewter]

This

[brittle carbon]

my personal statement was about dora the explorer

[simple lantern]

when i was a freshman i thought it would be a funny bit to make a youtube channel where i super obviously copied another youtuber

sadly my channel blew up and the youtuber BASHED my content

in a podcast

[terse umbra]

I’m nervous tho

[simple lantern]

andeverything i did imploded

[brittle carbon]

LMAO😭

[terse umbra]

[mystic verge]

Nvm waitlisted

[brittle carbon]

too many ppl to yield protect

[mystic verge]

Yield protection is cope

[brittle carbon]

oh maybe

idk

are you in at boston????

[mystic verge]

I mean it kind of exists but it’s everywhere

[brittle carbon]

btw

[simple lantern]

that gives me mixed feelings

[mystic verge]

I got into Boston yeah

[brittle carbon]

yeaidk

[simple lantern]

maybe i wasnt good enough for a yield protect

[brittle carbon]

congrats!

[mystic verge]

Thanks man

[meager isle]

atp they don’t need to yield protect lol

[mystic verge]

Yeah so many applicants

[untold shale]

bro i wrote a long ass cornell essay specifically about community service and helping others so i hope that helps

[brittle carbon]

[meager isle]

[meager isle]

no one at my school can claim yield protect cause neu accepted a kid with a 1600 via EA

lmao

[simple lantern]

dang

[brittle carbon]

o

[mystic verge]

Yeah the only kids from my school that got in from EA had good stats

[meager isle]

every school in the nation has inflated numbers whether it’s SAT or acceptance rate, but now that schools could gradually take away TO, the scores and acceptance rates will settle down

[mystic verge]

I had 3.8 UW and 35 act and another one had 1580 SAT

[mystic verge]

Do you go to northeastern btw

[meager isle]
