Northeastern University (2023-2024)

[charred mulch]

rest of the week was fire

[maiden fiber]

tru

50 degrees n im already pulling out my summer clothes to wear at home

[trim edge]

It does count them

It’s on their website site

[meager isle]

it is infact very gloomy

[lyric cypress]

like all of them

[trim edge]

idt it counts nuin

but boston oakland london global scholars counted

lemme find the website again

[trim edge]

https://news.northeastern.edu/2024/01/29/undergraduate-applications-fall-2024/#:~:text=Northeastern took in 98%2C373 applications for fall 2024%2C,university’s chief enrollment officer and senior vice chancellor.

[charred forge]

yea lowk

campus is pretty sexy tho

i love the modern architecture ngl

[trail cave]

Gonna be 100k next year

[shrewd beacon]

Would nuin still be like sub 10% AR tho

[trim edge]

definitely

they get 100k apps

and they have a class of 3.5k

no way theyre acceptnig 3x the number of seats

[cold cliff]

This is speculation, but:
4,000 undergrads per grade roughly
40% yield rate
= 10,000/98,400 accepted
= 10.2% acceptance with NU.IN and global scholars

so my guess is somewhere around 5% between both programs on top of the 5.6% admitted to main campus

[viscid quartz]

what time is ed thing tdy?

[light bone]

how much more/less competitive is global scholars compared to nu.in

[novel bolt]

just got a phone call from the head of my academic department at northeastern

it took everything within me to keep from asking him to give me money so that i can actually afford to go🤩

[hollow surge]

did it work/

im so late but congratss to yall that got in rd!!!!!

[digital night]

someone at my school said oakland has 80% acceptance rate???

is this like misinformation or smth

[trim edge]

its not

thats mills college pretty sure

[digital night]

oh okay so neu has like 8 percent or smth roight

[charred mulch]

nope

definitely not

[thin spruce]

hey sorry to bother you but I had some questions about the CS program if I can dm

[charred mulch]

sure go for it

[thin spruce]

sent a req

[cold cliff]

Couldn't find enough information when I tried looking into it

My guess is that both programs have roughly the same acceptance % and that global scholars is slightly less competitive, as I know roughly the same amount of people accepted into both, with most lower gpa/sat students in global scholars

that's solely anecdotal though so don't take it with more than a grain of salt

[trim edge]

8-10 i believe

its listed at like 6-7 but with nuin its prob 8-10

no higher tho

[round wyvern]

yeah

[twilit hinge]

Da golden husky is real

[charred mulch]

Indeed

Did u pet it

[twilit hinge]

Ye

[charred mulch]

W

[twilit hinge]

Did a campus tour and checked out some buildings

[charred mulch]

Nice nice

[charred mulch]

Not exactly it’s complicated

A bunch did bc white hall closed down

[twilit hinge]

Is it cause of white hall

Oh

[charred mulch]

Yeah

[twilit hinge]

Idk if white hall id coming back in time

[charred mulch]

I’m technically not in khoury llc bc my roommate isn’t khoury but llc doesn’t matter tbh

[twilit hinge]

I saw construction stuff around it still

Rip qdoba

[charred mulch]

Yeah it’s been like that

[twilit hinge]

[charred mulch]

Rip qdoba indeed

[twilit hinge]

Ah ok

[charred mulch]

Although el jefes has become my favorite

[twilit hinge]

I heard someone else recommend that

Imma try that out next time

I went to cambridge area to get noodles

It was so freakin good

[charred mulch]

W that sounds fun

[charred mulch]

best part is theyre open until 3 am

[twilit hinge]

[charred forge]

where was this 🤨🤨

[charred forge]

which did u get??

or what restaurant did u go to

[twilit hinge]

uh lemme get the restaurant name

its like a small food court, but that one restaurant was super popular there's a dedicated line for like 10 seats or somethin lmao

[charred forge]

jesus damn

[maiden fiber]

yume ga arukara 🤭🤭

[twilit hinge]

ya

yume ga arukara

[maiden fiber]

one in cambridge is a small stall kinda and one in seaport is a small restaurant it opened a month ago

[twilit hinge]

they have multiple locations?

[maiden fiber]

only 2 for now

they just opened their second location

[twilit hinge]

ooh ok

it was really good

[maiden fiber]

and its still rlly small there r lines for that one 😢😢

whatd u order

[twilit hinge]

I did uh that udon with beef

[maiden fiber]

did u get cold or hot

[twilit hinge]

hot

are they more known for cold?

[maiden fiber]

cold one is the best tbhhh theyre known for cold

yeah

[twilit hinge]

Ah ok, my sis got the cold

[maiden fiber]

def get that next time

[twilit hinge]

still awesome I love the crisp with the beef

[maiden fiber]

was there a wait

usually theres always such a long line

[twilit hinge]

small one, my sis and I got lucky we got a seat within 5 min

[maiden fiber]

oh thats nice

[twilit hinge]

by the time we left yea there was a huge line

[maiden fiber]

i feel like its kinda expensive tho like the portion wasnt very filling for $17

[twilit hinge]

true I think everything in boston is expensive 😭

[maiden fiber]

yeah unfortunately 🥹

i grew up in boston so if yall need some food recs i know all the good spots 😏

[twilit hinge]

omg that would be awesome

I'll def ask u next time I go there, prob orientation

[keen urchin]

Rejected from udub uci ucla ucsd, i guess i m going here 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

[viscid quartz]

CE under college of engineering or CS under khoury?

i visited campus today and ISEC building is majestic

[twilit hinge]

exp building was awesome as well, u get to see like tech labs dispersed around the building

[twilit hinge]

Depends on what u wanna do in the future, both are solid

[viscid quartz]

design lab is sooo cool

[twilit hinge]

frrr

[viscid quartz]

i didnt really explore khoury that much cause i was kinda intimated at how tall it was

and there were classes going on

[twilit hinge]

students there say that there's not much classes there, it's more of staff offices and housing

I think tuna can confirm it, just based it off of other upperclassmen

[maiden fiber]

hav yall seen bu’s data sci building thooo

arguably prettier than isec

esp the exterior

[prime gale]

So im like narrowing my choices down and ive been rejected from my 2nd and 3rd. Its lookin like its either northeastern or an ivy i randomly may get into.

Is northeastern a w in yalls opinions?

[light bone]

fair

[maiden fiber]

yeah esp cus of the co ops

[charred forge]

yea bro campus is sexy too

boston's has a bunch of shit to do also

[meager isle]

everyone gonna say yes but

at the end of the day still up to what u want

[charred forge]

fax

follow the money too

pls dont take out a bunch of loans to go to neu

[maiden fiber]

yea its not worth the debt

[empty wing]

i still havent received my fin aid package and i was admitted ea

should i email

[kind fable]

jenga building??

[maiden fiber]

yeass

[twilit hinge]

is it the jenga building

[maiden fiber]

yep

[twilit hinge]

o yea I saw that as I left boston

[charred forge]

twin

[charred forge]

prob call

[empty wing]

tried to use the sfs tool and the faq just said it will be on a rolling basis

[charred forge]

call the office

rolling my ass 💀

[empty wing]

nah too lazy

[maiden fiber]

for me i got in rd and they told me it’ll be in by april 5

but it was specifically for the entry program i got into so idk

[charred forge]

thats prob when im gonna get my ea package atp

[radiant snow]

What is the chance of getting waitlisted?

[native tide]

Guys im still confused on the N.U.in thingy mbob

I got in but I can’t tell if it’s optional or not

And if they say I got accepted to my business major does that also mean I got into D’more mckim?

[remote tangle]

guys my mom thinks northeastern is a safety, can someone give me reasons that it isn't. She literally doesn't believe me

[raw dove]

whats ur average gpa

[remote tangle]

im intl so i dont have a gpa but my IB is 39 predicted

[burnt escarp]

Show her the AR lol

[remote tangle]

i did. idk what more she wants to know

[light bone]

ain’t a safety

[strong oyster]

are you asian by any chance Mr?

[remote tangle]

ye...

[fervent iris]

did anyone get 1 year oakland and boston remoaining years

is it gaunreteed trasnfer or do i have to reapply

[twilit hinge]

its guaranteed

[fervent iris]

is it worth?

[twilit hinge]

u can choose oakland 4 years after the first year or go to boston for remaining years

its not worth it if its financially a problem for you

[fervent iris]

ok

how is neu for premed

like w all the co ops

[twilit hinge]

I heard in boston its super strong for coop since mass got like the best hospitals in the country

[fervent iris]

can u exp;aon how co cops work

like do i stop school for 6 months

?

[twilit hinge]

so coop can last about 6months to 8 months depending on your employer

you don't pay tuition during those months, your straight just working in those jobs

The only thing you pay for is housing if your still living on campus but if not, u find ur own housing i believe for abroad coops

[fervent iris]

alr thanks

also i saw smth where u cant get a grade lower than a c

is this for final grade or is it for mp grade

?

[twilit hinge]

your final grade

whats mp?

[fervent iris]

sem 1 average is c+

il get it to b-

final grade

but mp1 i got a c-

[twilit hinge]

thats fine, as long as your overall grade is B- your good

and I'll be honest, they're quite lenient on the C thing, some students have had Cs and didn't get rescinded

Just dont get C- and lower

[fervent iris]

for fg right?

[twilit hinge]

yes

[fervent iris]

alr nice

[twilit hinge]

Like my school we do semester 1 and 2

so they're waiting on my semester 2 grades only since they've seen semester 1 already

[fervent iris]

ohhhh

okay

what is the acceprancw rate for the oakland program

[light bone]

and it gives credit as if it’s a regular academic semester?

[twilit hinge]

no, your not taking any classes at all during that time

It fulfills some nupath thing tho I think, not exactly sure

[light bone]

so it takes u 4.5 years to finish college??

[twilit hinge]

varies based on incoming credit, summer classes, and how many coops

if u do 3 coops, high chance ur there for around 5 years

if u 2, most graudate around 4 years

[light bone]

oh damn

and it’s up to you when and how many coops to take??

[fervent iris]

can u do co ops if u are premed

[twilit hinge]

Its a later graduation date ig, but just imagine your tuition split among longer time pretty much

[light bone]

that’s kinda cool actually tbh

[twilit hinge]

yes u can take iether spring or fall

[light bone]

i kinda fw that at northeastern

[twilit hinge]

max is 3 u can take as much as u want

[twilit hinge]

yes u can

[light bone]

any year?

[twilit hinge]

theres nearby medical centers that recruit

[twilit hinge]

sophmore+

[light bone]

can u do coops and neu london/oakland

[twilit hinge]

yes

[light bone]

can u do it sophomore fall?

[twilit hinge]

u can do coops anywhere around the world as long as ur approved

[twilit hinge]

uh u cant

[fervent iris]

wait

[twilit hinge]

it starts sophmore spring latest

[fervent iris]

@twilit hinge

[light bone]

i see

[twilit hinge]

cause u have to take a coop resume/prep class

during the fall

[fervent iris]

do yk the acceptnace rate for the oakland bosotn program

[twilit hinge]

not exactly sure

just choose the one u like the most, dont go by acceptance

[light bone]

so theoretically u could do like

[fervent iris]

yea ik im jus cruous

as of rn i only got into safetyies and neu

[light bone]

sophomore spring co op + summer internship + junior/senior year coop and another internship

[fervent iris]

so im pretty much leaning towards neu

[light bone]

tons to add on that resume

[twilit hinge]

yes

but note that your sophmore spring coop will go into the summer

[light bone]

and still graduate in 4 years

[twilit hinge]

yea

[light bone]

oh i see

that sucks

[twilit hinge]

it goes into halfo fy our summer

[light bone]

do yk if neu has finance coops

[twilit hinge]

so intenrships may overlap

[twilit hinge]

yuh

[light bone]

like ib or consulting

related

[twilit hinge]

it pretty much has coops for every major lol

[light bone]

true

[fervent iris]

this is a weird question

but can i email northeatsern gaurenteeing them i will attend if they change my course of admision from oakland first year to boston first year?

or it wont work out

[empty wing]

they will just laugh at u bud

[fervent iris]

yea thatsd what i was thinking

but a few ppl told me it could work

[empty wing]

never hurts to try

[fervent iris]

do yk how the oakland campus is

[empty wing]

no but theres a campus tour on youtube

[fervent iris]

lemme c

[prime gale]

Is nu in garunteed boston tranfer after a semester

[twilit hinge]

will not work

they direcly said, even students there said stop annoying ao with the decision, its final

[fervent iris]

damn

[fervent iris]

year*

after a year

[prime gale]

But nuin is a semester

So what does that mean

[fervent iris]

im jus scared il be bheind in premed suff if i go to neu oakland

[fervent iris]

nu in is 1 sem okaland and 1 sem longon i think

[twilit hinge]

semseter abroad, boston rest of yers

[prime gale]

No thats global

[fervent iris]

oh

im buggin

u right

[prime gale]

So its garunteed boston

[twilit hinge]

correct

u actually get a nice dorm when u come back too I believe

[prime gale]

Okay ty

Lit

[ebon wing]

No NUIN is one semester in Europe and 3 and a half years in Boston

[fervent iris]

does oakland campus still have oppurtunities like bosotn

[valid verge]

Northeastern vs UIUC for CS, which is better

?

[fervent iris]

blud

uiuc

[twilit hinge]

Uiuc

100%

[valid verge]

kk

thanks

cya

lol

[twilit hinge]

bai

😭

[fervent iris]

@twilit hinge

[twilit hinge]

depends on your major

[fervent iris]

for premed

i cant find anything onlone

[twilit hinge]

u should be able to find coops in the bay area with premed

both locations are great

if u want to stay in boston or oakland, u can always like have coops in long distances

so u can stay in oakland if u still want a fter ur first year and have a coop in boston if theres a better premed opportunity there

or vice versa

[ebon wing]

What excuse can you make to get out of Early decision I would rather go to ASU because somebody told me it was better academically

[fervent iris]

thanks

[twilit hinge]

np

[twilit hinge]

uh idk if thats true but the only way u can get out is if u cant afford

[ebon wing]

Ok that’s not happening I live in an area that makes a lot some kid even committed fraud to get out of his NEU ED agreement to go to UCLA

[twilit hinge]

bro 💀

yea please dont do that u dont want to end up having no college decisions

[ebon wing]

He ended up at UCLA and is still there now

[twilit hinge]

prob cause no one reported it

I wouldnt risk it if I were you, just giving you the possiblites of getting out of ed legally

[burnt escarp]

What does neu rank for business? Kinda curious

[ebon wing]

Number 81

[twilit hinge]

^

[burnt escarp]

O ok

[burnt escarp]

from what source by the way

[junior echo]

It's not a target or a semi target and bu is slightly better and bc is a lot better

[burnt escarp]

this is for ib?

[light bone]

yes

but neu is closer to a semi target than most non targets

[burnt escarp]

i dont wanna go into ib but thanks

[junior echo]

If not consulting either then i don think it matters too much which one u go to

[empty wing]

neu places well in consulting?

i heard they do co ops with boston consulting group

[light bone]

no

they’re better at IB

cos there are coops with decent banks and even one private equity firm

consulting is mostly regional

[prime gale]

Northeastern or bostonU in yalls opinion like overall. Its kinda same price and theyre similarly ranked for math i think

[maiden fiber]

i think bu is more prestigious (not by a whole lot) but northeastern has co ops so idrkkk both r good

[twilit hinge]

^^^

[trim edge]

asu😭😭

[charred forge]

💀💀💀

this is why i hate the idea of ED

i only hear bad things

why are people always tryijg to break their agreements

[maiden fiber]

breaking ur ed for asu 😭😭

[novel bolt]

ED makes me giggle bc who came up w the concept of contractually binding a bunch of 17 yr/olds to go to one school (that’s usually insanely expensive) for the next four years

you can’t vote yet but you can sign your soul over to northeastern university !

[charred forge]

this

i’ve never heard anything good about ED

a few things happen

1. kid does ED and gets rejected. end of story

2. kid gets deferred and then stresses tf out until rd

3. kid gets in and loves it and financial aid is great (rarely happens)

5. kid gets in and hates the school (did ed for higher chances or prestige) but financial aid is great (tries to break it but can’t)

6. kid gets in and like the school but bad fin aid (prob can break it)

7. kid gets in and hates the school and financial aid is bad (cooked) 💀💀

[novel bolt]

ED benefits three audiences and it’s

1. kids who really love the school and know that they’ll qualify for enough aid
2. kids who really love the school and have parents rich enough to pay for their education
3. parents who are dead set on their kid going to xyz school and force them to apply ED (usually rich people who want their kids to be legacies)

[round wyvern]

not optional

[twilit hinge]

ed agreements pretty much tell you clearly that it's binding

[trim edge]

is northeastern aid really that bad?

mine was phonemenal

[twilit hinge]

I think it might also vary when u fill it out

My parents wnat me to actually fill out the aid so I recently did

[trim edge]

is the aid package we got like pretty mich final?

even after fafsa processes

[twilit hinge]

ye

should be

[trim edge]

ahh okay

if i gotta pay anymore im boutta jsut go to umd,

[twilit hinge]

nah its def final, remember u told me about neu promise?

[trim edge]

yeah but it did say tentative on fafsa

[twilit hinge]

breh

[trim edge]

i think neu promise is after you commit they cant change it

but prior to i think they can change it

especialyl since fafsa wants your parents to pay the same amount for both siblings in college

[twilit hinge]

oh

thats dumb

[meager isle]

has fafsa came out for anyone yet

[twilit hinge]

nah I feel like it should come out next motnh prob

[maiden fiber]

i think the aid package they give u is just an estimate and then after fafsa it finalizes?

nupromise goes after that

[twilit hinge]

do u know how much they might change the aid?

like if its a few thousand or hundred thats fine

[trim edge]

nah idk

[maiden fiber]

thats what my friend told me 🤷🏻‍♀️

it makes sense to me cus why else would they require both css AND fafsa

[trim edge]

cuz fafsa expects you to pay the same per sibling

like if your efc is 10k

and you got 2 siblings

they expect yoyu to pay 10k per sibling

idt css factors that

thats why i think imma have to pay more after fafsa processes

[meager isle]

yeah

that’s why i need to know when fafsa is sent to the school

😭 needa know how much im actually paying

[maiden fiber]

i think youll get it by april 5th prob

[meager isle]

fafsa baiting us

[maiden fiber]

i think its so stupid that u cant add more schools to ur fafsa form until its processed

like y cant i add it now

im scared my fafsa is gonna be sent late to northeastern bc of tghat

and im supposed to have it in by the 27th

i didnt get to add northeastern to my fafsa when i submitted bc i thought i'd be able to add to it afterwards

[fossil zephyr]

I haven’t even started my fafsa

[maiden fiber]

😭

[simple lantern]

How do we submit an LOCI to northeastern?

[maiden fiber]

through portal under submit materials

[simple lantern]

Thank you

[simple lantern]

Do I email regional AO as well

[maiden fiber]

sure

[trim edge]

fr

my aid package was good

if i gotta pay any more im not going here\

[meager isle]

real

[charred forge]

northeastern mogs

[trim edge]

what building is that/

[grizzled bough]

I only got 5k in scholarships man fuck man I’m so cooked

[charred forge]

ISEC 🙏🙏

i forget the other one

[trim edge]

is that the cs building?

[grizzled bough]

Can you go to the business building?

[charred forge]

im not on campus 😭😭

i went yesterday

[charred forge]

uhh idk lowk

wait no

i think cs is khoury

wait nbm im stupid

💀💀

idk tbh

[grizzled bough]

How much did you get in scholarships

[maiden fiber]

thats isec and cs is khoury

[twilit hinge]

isec and exp are like next to each other

khoury building is furthur in campus

[charred forge]

i got like 30k but thats bc i submitted my national recognition collegeboard thing

dw abput scholarships bc they take away from fin aid anyways

[charred forge]

yes this ^^

[fossil zephyr]

whoa

how do that

i got that but how do i get the scholarship though

[charred forge]

you had to submit proof by like january 😭

[fossil zephyr]

do you have a link

[charred forge]

oh shit nvm u have until april 11

https://admissions.northeastern.edu/cost-financial-aid/merit-scholarships/

just submit a pic of the national award from cb on their portal

[fossil zephyr]

thanks

[dull owl]

if you got accepted with NU.in and you applied ED, you're no longer binded, but otherwise not optional

im gonna be honest though, if you have the chance to go abroad, you really should

[keen urchin]

Guys does neu oakland hv greek life (sororities, frats)?

[empty wing]

idk

prolly does

they have around 800 students and all are freshman

[keen urchin]

Oo

[trim edge]

youre going oakland?

[grizzled bough]

Hey DK

[charred mulch]

first one shown in the video is exp

just opened this past fall

the other one next to it is isec

[trim edge]

where are cs classes held?

[charred mulch]

all over tbh

but the khoury college home base is in west village h

aka this building

ive had labs in that building ^^

as for lectures those could be in a variety of buildings

[terse umbra]

Any point in doing loci if I was waitlisted?

[wind crown]

how does the global scholars program work?
and how do I get back into the Boston Campus?

[twilit hinge]

its one semester london, the one semester oakland, and then remaining 3 years in boston

[wind crown]

Ohhhh
Nice I have friends in London lol

[empty wing]

Idk I’m going to whatever is the cheapest

I got into Denison and they gave a pretty good aid

Hopefully neu can beat it

[twilit hinge]

oh thats good to hear! for global scholars too its also usually a small group so I assure you can make new friends more easily too

[wind crown]

Oooh
I'm pretty excited about the abroad stuff

[charred mulch]

first year will be oakland and london (can be either order) and then youre in boston afterwards
you dont have to get back into the boston campus, youve alr gotten in

[trim edge]

Ngl I might just go to my state school

Umd lowkey really really good

For cs its rank 16

And engineering 19

[twilit hinge]

wait anwr did u get in?

[orchid cipher]

Id pick UMD over Northeastern for CS

plus you get instate tuition

[trim edge]

For?

[twilit hinge]

ye umd is somethin I'll pick over as well esp price

[trim edge]

Umd is ranked higher cs and ce

But idk if the rankings are more important than the co ops

Cuz experience > ranking

[orchid cipher]

I get that

But since you're an US citizen, id still pick UMD

youll find an internship most likely

[trim edge]

I’m worried

[slow warren]

scam pictures

reddit told me all the buildings are so crowded that you will die of crowd crush /s

[maiden fiber]

is it spring break for students rn

[charred forge]

nah

they had it last week

[charred forge]

lmfaoo thats what i heard too

but it looked tood

good

well it was early tho

but when we went to the gym it was packed

[maiden fiber]

i went on friday and campus didnt seem that crowded so i thought they were on break ?

[charred forge]

oo i went friday too

but what time did u go

[versed sigil]

How hard is switching majors?

[maiden fiber]

2-3

[maiden fiber]

really easy u can switch it through ur portal too

[viscid quartz]

its acc crazy the amt of students on campus difference between northeastern and harvard

[versed sigil]

Thanks

[twilit hinge]

Apparently their break was two weeks ago

Like neu

But a lotta people had break last week as well, I have some cousins who just went back to their colleges today

[untold shale]

Southwestern > Northeastern

[maiden fiber]

waht the hell is southwestern

😭

[terse umbra]

Any point to writing loci?

How do they take ppl off wl?

[charred forge]

not worth imo

[terse umbra]

Yeah I figured

[viscid quartz]

do you only pay for 6 semesters of tuition if u go on two 6 month coops? compared to 8 obv

[round wyvern]

in theory yeah but oyu might have to do some summer classes to finish on time but those r cheaper

[prime gale]

Nope its loans!

[trim edge]

Wait it’s a loan?

I thought it was free money

That’s what my friend told me

[prime gale]

Diff stuff prolly

[round wyvern]

just saw someone ask if it was worth paying the coops

... the coops pay you 😭

[maiden fiber]

the reddit post 😭

[prime gale]

Yall do parents go to welcome days

Or is this better off a solo mission

[maiden fiber]

they do go but u can go solo i feel like its mad awkward to talk to ppl when ur parents r with u

[prime gale]

Word ill prolly go alone then

My mom didnt wanna go anyway 💀

[fossil zephyr]

what companies recruit for northeastern students for co-ops (CS)

[sick scarab]

yall i have a question

so i got accepted to northeastern

but with a major in applied physics in the college of arts in science

i want to change to electrical engineering in the college of engineering, does anyone know if thats possible to do before classes even start or do I just have to deal with it

[fossil zephyr]

You might be to do it on the portal

[sick scarab]

i checked my application portal if i can do it there, couldnt find anything

do I have to be comitted to be able to do that?

or submit any enrollment deposit and complete terms of enrollment?

[fossil zephyr]

for me I can ,there is a button Major Change - N.U.in

[sick scarab]

also another concern is like, its changing colleges so idk if its an easy change or if id get a hard time

[sick scarab]

lemme look again, maybe i missed it

but like r u committed

[fossil zephyr]

no

[sick scarab]

ight lemme check

huh i dont see anything on my end

but to be fair my computers slow

idk ill email them thanks man

[fossil zephyr]

np

[maiden fiber]

p sure u can easily change ur major through the portal when u commit

[lyric cypress]

Bruh is NEU global scholars even competitive I know so many mfs who got in

[sick scarab]

huh ight

so ig this might be a problem for latr then, might just be me that needs to wait for commititing

tbh idk whats wrong with my portal but ill figure it out tho lol

[sick scarab]

thank you so much tho ill keep this in mind

[twilit hinge]

they even change ur acceptance letter to the major u wanna change after like 24-48hrs

[trim edge]

@charred mulch yo

i was wondering if you took cs 2800? and if so can you give me a little rundown on what you covered in that class

[digital night]

does anyone know how long they take to send ur financial aid package

[trim edge]

it took me 3 weeks after i got my admissions

it took a lil bit because i filed my taxes as well as my parents so i had to upload both

[terse umbra]

Anyone got any info abt getting off wl?

[trim edge]

isnt that gonna happen in like august?

[terse umbra]

Bro fr?

[trim edge]

at worst august, at best late may

youre gonna have to commit to a school before finding out if you get in off waitlist

[terse umbra]

Bruh

[trim edge]

you got stanford?

[digital night]

uh yeh but not committed uet

also ty

i was missing a doc so i submitted it

[trim edge]

damn congrats that insane

[trim edge]

youre still applying to neu even after getting into stanfrod?

[digital night]

usually u commit to a school first then if u get off wl u can commit to the other one and just lose ur first deposit

i applied for RD like ages ago

[trim edge]

i see

[digital night]

also thank U

[trim edge]

np

im def gonna apply for masters one day

[digital night]

i wanna do a lcsw but im oretty sure stanford doesnt offer tbat

[trim edge]

whats lcsw?

[digital night]

licensed clinical social worker

[trim edge]

ohh

maybe public health then?

[digital night]

Yeaah its for counseling and stuff

hmm probably

[trim edge]

idek what public health is tbh

but i think its close to lcsw

[digital night]

me neither i’ll have to look into it

[trim edge]

is stanford your top choice?

[terse umbra]

I hate NE anyways hmph

Jk jk

Just I’d prob go to other school before northeastern so

[trim edge]

could always transfer in the future

[digital night]

yes but im waiting for ivies and im scared ab leaving state

[trim edge]

i think imma do a year at northeastern/umd/ uwash before transferring

[digital night]

i also dont know if i fw the campus yet

[trim edge]

i see

[digital night]

oh rly

where would u transfer to

and why

[trim edge]

maybe gtech

or uiuc

ut austin

[digital night]

oh ur a cs major?

[trim edge]

i think stanford campus is good

ive seeen lots of videos

[digital night]

i heard neu’s cs is really difficult

yeah my interviewer said it was idyllic

but its unwalkable and idk how i feel ab that

[trim edge]

yeah, but i tihnk imma try to do physics/math/ comp eng as well

[digital night]

so i’ll tour in april for admit weekend

[trim edge]

im just hoping most of my de credits transfer

if so ill be able to graduate in 2.5 years

[trim edge]

im gonna be in bay area too first year

[digital night]

physics is so difficult i struggle a lot w the math

[trim edge]

so i might check it out over sumer

[trim edge]

what physics you taking?

[digital night]

oh wait u got into the oakland campus

or?

[trim edge]

i mean i pciked it first

[digital night]

ohhh why

everyone ik picks boston

[trim edge]

bay area for cs majors, plus close to berkley stanford

good for networking

[trim edge]

i think boston is better for all majors except cs

it doesnt make tm sense to go oakland unless youre a cs major

[digital night]

i took ap physics 1😭 it wasnt super difficult but the way collegeboard structures the questions sucked

ohh i see

[trim edge]

oh i never took that

[digital night]

i think i chose oakland by accident lmao

[trim edge]

i did the equivalent of m&h and e&m in college

[digital night]

im tourjng neu in april as well

oh wow thats rly cool

how was it?

[trim edge]

you need to know a Loott of math

its supposoed to be a calc based class

but theres linear algebra, partial differential equations in here

i imagine ap physics c is much much easier than this

[digital night]

yeah my math sucks LOL my calc is terrible so i dont think id survive

[trim edge]

you going oakland or boston ?

[digital night]

oakland

[trim edge]

oh i kinda wanna visit as well

[digital night]

i dont think i can make it to welcome dsy

[trim edge]

i think if i i visit imma go boston in april

[digital night]

but late april i can tour oakland and then boston later

yeahh

[trim edge]

would you go to northeastern tho?

[digital night]

wait i think i got oakland for my first year

[trim edge]

over stanford

[digital night]

and then boston second

uhh if i really hate stanfords campus and locatiob then i’d go somewherr else

idk if it’d be neu though

[trim edge]

i understand

[digital night]

bc oakland is soo dangerous i heard

[trim edge]

i heard that too

but campus is gated

and security guards at every dorm, and campus entrance

[digital night]

someone at neu oak rn said they hear gunshots at night

like wtf

[trim edge]

as long as you dont go out at night youll be fine

[digital night]

granted they were on reddit so cant rly trust them

[trim edge]

i feel like you'll find this almost anywhere tho

[digital night]

yeah but thats kind of a bummer

[trim edge]

like big cities

[digital night]

i live in nyc but ive never experienced it idk

[trim edge]

i mean you can go to downtown sf during nighttime

i think its way better safety wise than oakland

[digital night]

oh true

[trim edge]

only a 20-30 min bus ride away

[digital night]

its like an hr away

[trim edge]

and the school plays for it i believe

[digital night]

whaat

[trim edge]

the BAART

[digital night]

i thought it was an hr w the train

oh wtf thats fore

fire

[trim edge]

i had a friend in oakland tell me that

[digital night]

okok

[trim edge]

did you apply nyu?

[digital night]

i hesrd research opportunities r easy to get at oakland

[trim edge]

i hope so

i wanna do at least one before applying to transfer

[digital night]

yes but theyre deffo not taking me LMAO my essay sucked ass

yeah me too i rly want to get into research

[trim edge]

i mean you got stanford, you must be an incredible canddiate

im def not getting in, i didnt even write the supp💀

[digital night]

thank u but i dont thibj so

no way

why not LMAO

[trim edge]

i thought "optional" meant optional

[digital night]

aw

[trim edge]

and im a terrible writer so i didnt wanna screw myself with it

[digital night]

maybe they’ll like u without it

[trim edge]

but no way im able to afford nyu, even if they give aid

[digital night]

nyu so overpriced anyway

[trim edge]

i tihnk the best part of my app is course rigor

[digital night]

but i srsly love the school

[trim edge]

gpa, extracurrics were decent, but course rigor thestandout part of my app

[trim edge]

yeah it was my dream school tbh

but once i did more research into the school i moved away from it

[digital night]

oh yeah i dont doubt u at all

i think my ECs and essays were what carried me

[digital night]

what did u not like ab nyu

[trim edge]

likely so most top school applicants are all 4.0 1550+

[trim edge]

i kinda wanted a more traditional college cmapus rather than city campus

[digital night]

ah yeah

[trim edge]

costs as well, and its not the best for my major

[digital night]

i toured nyu and kinda hated it

the dorms r sucky also

[trim edge]

yeah dorms were also a big part

[trim edge]

i didnt officially tour, but i visited nyc last summer

[digital night]

i feel like a lot of the kids there r super privileged too

[trim edge]

lotta rich internationals

[digital night]

yeah there’s this girl i know at nyu rn and her dad is like a super famous physicist in germany

she goes on random ass trips to insane places and its tly interesting

[digital night]

did u like jt

i loooive new york

its amazing

i dont wan tto leave

this is paradise im not joking

[trim edge]

i mean ive been here sm

like 10-15 times

its not too far from me

just felt like another trip

but it was my first in a while

[digital night]

ah okay i see

[trim edge]

pre pandemic

i like the halal carts sm

the street food is the best

[digital night]

omfg

theres a shah’s near my house

i fucking love the halal carts

someone stole my food once tho

[trim edge]

idk that one

i had adels last time

adels was so damn good

[digital night]

im ngl ive never had

i always get shahs

i should explore more halal carts

anwar is a nice name btw

[trim edge]

are you muslim?

sorry to ask

[digital night]

no i’m hindu

[trim edge]

ohh okay

[digital night]

most of my friends r muslim tho

[trim edge]

nadias kinda commmon muslim name

and you were mentioning halal carts so i thought you were

my apologies

[digital night]

yeah they’ve told me that😭

noo its okay i dont mind

[trim edge]

thank you

i like nadia as well

but anwars the last name

[digital night]

ohh

can i ask ur first or would that be doxxing urself

[trim edge]

dms?

[digital night]

yeah sure

i think i have them off wait

[limber whale]

anyone know what the acceptance rate is for cs + design?

[maiden fiber]

neu doesnt admit by major

[charred mulch]

yo sorry just seeing this
i didnt take this class so im not 100% sure
but they do proof-based stuff/logical reasoning

heres the course website if you want to check it out (from spring '23; theres a spring '24 one as well but thats still in progress)
https://course.ccs.neu.edu/cs2800sp23/index.html

[trim edge]

Isn’t it a required class?

I read thru the description and it sounds like another version of discrete

Is neu discrete like really really easy?

The sample plans shows that you take discrete before calc 1💀

Which I have no idea how that works

I’m taking discrete right now, and I’d be so screwed if I didn’t take at least calc 2

[charred mulch]

in practice idt ppl actually do that

[charred mulch]

neu discrete is pretty easy i would say

[charred mulch]

if youre doing a concentration in foundations or software then yes

otherwise no (at least at the moment)

right now cs 2810 is a required class, but theyre getting rid of that class so the requirements are likely gonna change by your year

[trim edge]

can you do a concentration if youre in a combined majors

[trim edge]

thats what it says on the sample plan

[trim edge]

oh so i might not have to take it then?

it basically seems like a. math class of lin alg,calc, and statistics so i hope i dont have to take it

[charred mulch]

no thats only for pure cs majors

[charred mulch]

yeah its mostly linalg and stats

im taking the class rn

it also ties those things into basic ml concepts like linear perceptrons

[charred mulch]

yeah, idk why its like that on the sample plan

have you alr taken calc in hs?

bc if so you can just transfer that assuming you got a 4 or 5

[trim edge]

ive taken like everything

calc 1 calc 2 lin alg diff eq discrete

[charred mulch]

oh wow

[trim edge]

i was thinking if i got credit for math 2331 do i gotta take 2810?

i feel like that wouldnt be very useful for me

[trim edge]

are concentratoins worth it?

i was thinking of doing cs and physics or cs and math

[charred mulch]

thats a good question
considering theyre discontinuing 2810, you prob wont have to take it

[trim edge]

oh is it confirmed theyre discontinuing it?

[charred mulch]

thats what my prof said at least

[trim edge]

hmmm

i wishj i knew exactly what i gotta take

[charred mulch]

dont quote me on it but apparently this is the last semester theyre doing that class

[trim edge]

im hoping to get out of fundies 1/2 discrete

two of my cs classes are listed but theyre both the electives

cs 2990, and 3990

[charred mulch]

idk if theyll let you skip fundies but you can definitely try
i heard of someone who did OOD in freshman year so its possible

discrete you can test out of

[charred mulch]

thats cool

[trim edge]

yeah i met this girl who got out of both fundies

if i dont get the transfer credit for im gonna see if i can talk with the profs/advisor/ deans and see if they can work something out for me

[charred mulch]

yeah

you might have to take some sort of exam but its possible

[trim edge]

yeah thats okay

[charred mulch]

at the end of the day this is up to you
i would personally say they are since you can go rlly in-depth on a certain area of cs
but if you have other interests and want to do a combined major then that can be of value of well
you would just be taking classes in both those areas rather than going super in-depth on a particular area of cs

[trim edge]

i def want to do a concentration, but i also want something else to supplement my cs education

i think given the amount of credits i have, i can graduate in 6 semesters with 2 co ops

[charred mulch]

yeah

[trim edge]

and especially if i can get out of fundies 1/2 i can start taking the upper level courses in my second year

[charred mulch]

if you have enough credits you dont have to worry about summer classes

[trim edge]

i was hoping to do the Ai concentrations

[charred mulch]

yeah, thats what im planning on doing as well

current plan is to start doing concentration courses in second year

aka starting next semester

[trim edge]

have you gone on cop op?

co op

[charred mulch]

not yet im still a first year

[trim edge]

ohh okay second semester then

i find the courses you need to take at neu kinda weird

like you only really need to take calc 1

most universities require at least calc2

some even require calc 3 and lin alg

[charred mulch]

yeah its a bit odd

i came in with credit for calc 1 and calc 2

if you have credit for calc 2 they apply it to the science requirements

[charred mulch]

coop cycles are one of:

• spring cycle (spring of 2nd year, spring of 3rd year)
• fall cycle (fall of 3rd year, fall of 4th year)

[trim edge]

im hoping to use both my phys credits on this

[charred mulch]

are they ap credits?

or dual enrollment

[trim edge]

my phys class isnt listed on the database but since most elemenetary classes are pretty sandardized im pretty sure they'l get accepted

[trim edge]

i got 63 de and 3 ap

[charred mulch]

jesus christ

[charred mulch]

yeah i would talk to them about it at some point to make sure it can get accepted

[trim edge]

yeah ik i gotta submit syllabus this summer

[charred mulch]

nice gl

wait so ru committed here

or planning on it

or ru still considering other options

[fossil zephyr]

Do you know anyone who did NUin and did they enjoy their time @charred mulch

[charred mulch]

idk anyone personally who did nuin
but from what it looks like, it seems like they enjoyed their time

[trim edge]

havent officially committed

but im most likely gonna go here

[trim edge]

i also got umd, and waitlist at uwash

[charred mulch]

W

[charred mulch]

damn those are rlly good as well

especially for cs

[trim edge]

yeah but i realy like northeastern for coops plus location

[charred mulch]

yeah very much so

location is amazing

plus ofc coops

this was the best school i got into but i was also considering other places due to cost

still ended up going here bc of the same reasons as you

[trim edge]

umd and uwash are both ranked higher than northeastern

[charred mulch]

yeah they are

[trim edge]

but the career outlooks are much much better than umd at least

[charred mulch]

i see

[trim edge]

if you look at the number of people working in big tech from universities umd isnt ranked at all

northeastern is rank 15 for number of alumni working in big tech

average salary of a northeastern grad is also higher

[charred mulch]

ye

[grizzled bough]

I’m attending the global schoolers webinar right now

What are your thoughts on it

[charred mulch]

im not in global scholars but imo its a cool program

you get to go to london and stuff

technically its both oakland and london

but due to how enrollment worked out in my year some ppl were in boston first sem then london second sem (so no oakland)

also a little minor thing

if ur a cs major in global scholars you use kotlin in fundies

[grizzled bough]

Realllly

[charred mulch]

yeah

[grizzled bough]

I’m in finance

[charred mulch]

thats cool

im not too familiar with the curriculum for that so idk if theres anything different in global scholars

[trail cave]

Tuna did you go to welcome days?

[charred mulch]

yeah

[grizzled bough]

Do you know any finance majors?

[trail cave]

How was it?

[charred mulch]

i might know someone (not from global scholars tho)

[charred mulch]

i liked it tbh

i would say its worth it

[trail cave]

I'm signed up for one but I was still curious

[charred mulch]

oh cool, which day ru doing

[trail cave]

Favorite parts?

7th

[charred mulch]

nice nice

hmm my favorite part was prob when they brought a bunch of us into this room and did a mock class and we also got to meet some ppl

[trail cave]

Was gonna try to stay with a friend but I'm driving down and I'm working the night prior

[charred mulch]

damn good luck with that

how far are you

[trail cave]

Hr ish but who knows about traffic

[charred mulch]

oh right boston traffic is crazy

[trail cave]

Could be 50 or an 1:30

[charred mulch]

wait are you the one from nh

[trail cave]

Ye

[charred mulch]

nice nice

[trail cave]

It's at 8:30 am so staying at my friends dorm would be clutch but idk

What else was there besides the mock class?

[charred mulch]

.

thats all the stuff i can remember

[trail cave]

Lol no worries

What was that like?

[charred mulch]

it was pretty cool

i enjoyed it

i also did the dorm tour bc when i visited in 2022 they didnt take you in the dorms

[trail cave]

Same

[charred mulch]

funny thing is i actually live in that building now

[trail cave]

Is that supplemental or is there another sign-up for that

[charred mulch]

you dont need to sign up or anything

you can just go

theres a lot of options

[trail cave]

Ah like there's a big itinerary and you just pick and choose what you want to do?

[charred mulch]

yeah basically

the first presentation, mock class, and q/a everyone does

but after that you can pick and choose

at least thats how it was for the khoury one

tbh it might change based on the exact college ur in

so it might be a little different for you

[trail cave]

Got it

How many hours is it normally

The event if you remember?

[charred mulch]

uhh i was there from whenever it started in the morning to around 3-4 pm

[trail cave]

Okay so a full day

[charred mulch]

yeah essentially

[trail cave]

Gotcha well I'm excited about it thanks for the info

[wind crown]

If your part of the global scholars program will i show up on my final degree/ certificate or will it say i graduated from northeastern?

[untold shale]

who cares

i think the whole global thing is pretty cool actually

[wind crown]

?did u also get the global scholars thing

can u request to stay in london for a full year instead of switching to oakland?

[wind crown]

just out of curiosity

[untold shale]

No I did nuin

[wind crown]

Ah

[dusky vault]
