twilit hinge
#

people will start noticing

upbeat lantern
#

unrelated but chat

#

i rly shouldve used ed and ea to my advantage

#

the schools i ea'd to had like 80% acceptance rates anyway

#

tbf it wasnt my choice i was told to do what i did

#

but i wish i didnt listen

twilit hinge
#

is ok just hope for the best

#

dont think about the past

digital night
#

its okay pointless to think about it rn

twilit hinge
#

u still got couple chances left over these days

#

ya

digital night
#

cant change what happened, i also wish i ED'd somewhere

upbeat lantern
#

yeah u guys r right but still i wonder what would be different if i did

twilit hinge
#

I think majority people here always say the what if

upbeat lantern
#

ngl i cant believe i spent 4 years in high school trying so hard but when application season hit i got super depressed and just didnt apply

twilit hinge
#

yea I was gonna say somethin along those lines

#

honestly

upbeat lantern
#

i couldnt have beared it just a month more 😭

twilit hinge
#

because you worked hard, you will get in somewhere

#

even if you don't end u pwhere you like, you can make the most out of the college you go to and see what opportunities come your way

digital night
#

^

twilit hinge
#

you'll be surprised what regular can do for those that think it's over

upbeat lantern
#

my gpa sucks i rly shouldve benched on ea and ed those were my only chances

twilit hinge
#

ed would be huge

#

ea is not really for many colleges

#

especially the popular ones

#

If your gpa sucks don't worry about it, just make sure your other parts of your applicaiton looks awesome and you tried your best

upbeat lantern
twilit hinge
#

Well have you ever looked at the progress you've made in the past when the time comes?

upbeat lantern
#

the problem is that i was in this weird college application help program thing

#

they told me i had no chances at any good college

digital night
#

thats so messed up wtf

twilit hinge
#

bruh thats the worst college applicaiton help progrm

digital night
#

fr LMFAO

twilit hinge
#

even worse than here

upbeat lantern
#

they said something along these lines "even if you applied to a school with a 99% acceptance rate, you'd be the only one that didnt get in"

digital night
#

???????????????????

#

this cannot be real

twilit hinge
#

we have people with low GPAs here get in some incredible places

upbeat lantern
#

that made me so depressed

twilit hinge
#

and just get urselfo ut of htat program

digital night
#

thats actually insane im so sorry u had to hear that

upbeat lantern
digital night
#

can i ask the program

#

was it a local thing

upbeat lantern
#

its a small local program yeah

digital night
#

thats so shitty bro

#

u need to leave that shit if u havent already

upbeat lantern
#

not even just college application season they were on my ass since 9th grade

#

yeah im not gonna contact them anymore

#

not that i ever did

twilit hinge
#

but forget the underrated programs

upbeat lantern
#

they also spread a lot of misinformation

#

because most of the parents are immigrants they dont know facts from lies

twilit hinge
#

are your parents paying for this programn

upbeat lantern
#

they take advantage of that to make parents believe the program is useful when the only work they did was get someone into an 80% acceptance rate school 😭

upbeat lantern
digital night
#

oh my godd

#

is it super expensivr?

upbeat lantern
#

i begged them to leave when i was in 9th grade i just knew it was horrible even back then

upbeat lantern
digital night
#

no way

upbeat lantern
#

plus other stupid ass programs they made my parents pay for

digital night
#

thats horrible man im so sry

twilit hinge
#

have u tried talking with ur parents?

upbeat lantern
#

i actually had to enroll and leave the programs multiple times because they would make me do it again once i left

twilit hinge
#

if their kids are unwilling and know how bad it is its not worth spending the money

upbeat lantern
#

but now they get it

twilit hinge
#

rip

digital night
#

hoping u get into the rest of ur RD schools bro

#

sorry this process was so difficult on you

upbeat lantern
#

thanks for the hope

#

but i got rejected from basically everything past the ea schools from november

digital night
#

yes ofc man what r ur current options?

upbeat lantern
#

#

i wont get in bc my stats suck anyways

languid moon
#

languid moon

upbeat lantern
digital night

upbeat lantern
upbeat lantern

digital night
#

languid moon
digital night
#

#

unfortunate

languid moon
#

legacy/rich people will always be on top

#

plus grades

#

so yk make the best out of it

digital night
#

unfortunately true

upbeat lantern
#

i wish i could transfer but ik the process is even harder

digital night
#

do u like ur safeties at least? @upbeat lantern

languid moon
#

among did you get on to any waitlists ?

upbeat lantern
#

neutral but they agve me barely any aid anyways

upbeat lantern
#

but barely anyone gets off the waitlist i heard

languid moon
digital night
#

so what r ur current options

languid moon
#

or is that a different school

upbeat lantern
#

neutral as in i dont like or dislike

languid moon
#

oh

upbeat lantern
#

im from pa

languid moon
#

drexel has a good co op program

upbeat lantern
#

pitt they waitlisted me even though im in state..

digital night
#

drexel and psu nice asf ngl

languid moon
#

co op is rlly good, you will have experience/ education

#

which means more money depending on your field

upbeat lantern
#

idk, idek what i wanna do or major in

languid moon
#

i was going to apply to drexel until i found out they have horrible oos aid

upbeat lantern
#

i just wish i got into a good college that would make me feel better

languid moon
#

but you have in state aid right ?

upbeat lantern
languid moon
#

drexel is good

languid moon
upbeat lantern
#

nah 40k a year is insane

languid moon
#

what about penn state

digital night
#

wow

#

psu is nice no?

#

ive heard good things ab psu

upbeat lantern
#

i dont kniw if they released aid packages yet

#

but i dont rly like any of these colleges tbh which is stupid since theyre not horrible schools but im just sad i wont get into any good colleges

languid moon
#

i mean good schools arent all that

#

most important part is experience/internships

#

truthfully

digital night
#

i agree

upbeat lantern
#

its not even that i think getting into a good school would be like recognition for all the hard work i did throughout high school

digital night
#

a colleges prestige can do a lot but tbh ur efforts at that college are what matters most

upbeat lantern
#

my essay was pretty stupid as well i was forced to write abt something completely different

#

so ig it didnt help

languid moon
#

honestly probably is our gpas

#

just too low for any reaches

#

even surprised i got waitlisted at neu, i still have nyu,barnard, vassar college

#

but chances are low

#

even with a unique story

upbeat lantern
#

its possible even though the chances are low but i think i genuinely wouldve gotten a shot if i presented myself better

upbeat lantern
languid moon
#

3.3 uw

#

3.4 w or 3.7 w

upbeat lantern
#

same sat too?

languid moon
#

depending on what they used

#

test optional

upbeat lantern
#

wow you mustve had stellar ecs

languid moon
#

not rlly ??

#

i mean i got rejected from smith, lehigh, usc

#

reach schools to me

#

got into safeties

#

still have nyu, barnard, vassar left

#

waitlisted at neu

upbeat lantern
#

but for nyu and barnard test optional and 3.3 gpa you mustve had a great essay or ecs

trim edge
#

languid moon
#

lmao

upbeat lantern
#

ohh

languid moon
upbeat lantern
#

trim edge
#

barnard is columbia right?

languid moon
#

yes a college in columbia

upbeat lantern
#

yeah

languid moon
#

affiliated with them

digital night
#

barnards prompts were so hard i couldnt do them lmfao

languid moon
trim edge
#

i see

#

a lot of liberal arts colleges affiliated with top top schools

languid moon
trim edge
#

my friend told me about the reed college 3|2 program

#

reeds a liberal arts

#

but theyre 3 2 program allows you to double major in ce math cs or physics

languid moon
#

barnard college is in columbia uni

trim edge
#

and then attend the last 2 years at columbia or caltech

#

guaranteed admissino

digital night
#

wtf thats crazy

trim edge
#

the classes you have to take are like graduate level

digital night
trim edge
#

this person said the math classes they had to take were on par with uc irvine graduate math

charred mulch
#

for this semester:

  • this semester im in this club called oasis where you basically build a cs project in teams of 4 peopel throughout the semester
  • also in this one called ctf club (ctf standing for capture the flag), which is cybersecurity related

a few others i know of but im not active in this semester but i got the chance to check out:

  • ai club - basically just discussing ai-related stuff
  • competitive programming club - basically doing leetcode-style questions
  • they have a ton of robotics stuff if youre into that
languid moon
upbeat lantern
#

does anyone know anything abt gaurenteed admission colleges or smt how does that work do u have to apply to the beter college first and they offer this choice to u or smt bc i kinda wanna do that too

charred mulch
#

if im being honest llcs dont rlly mean anything
you dont rlly do anythign with your given llc

trim edge
languid moon
trim edge
#

having a 3.5 gpa at reeds 3 |2 program puts you in the top 25%

trim edge
charred mulch
#

ye

#

i would say def check out oasis

trim edge
#

i also wanna do like some martial arts or soccer club

upbeat lantern
charred mulch
#

that project can go on your resume as well

trim edge
#

do you guys have an mma club

trim edge
#

the 3 |2

charred mulch
#

theres definitely soccer

upbeat lantern
trim edge
#

also dont apply with the thought that youre gonna get into columbia or caltech

trim edge
#

but the program is insane

languid moon
charred mulch
#

i also know someone who does fencing

upbeat lantern
#

digital night
languid moon
#

oh okay

digital night
#

i rly wanted to do barnard but i think since i hated their prompts so much it wasnt a good fit for me

languid moon
#

digital night

languid moon
digital night

digital night
languid moon
trim edge

trim edge
upbeat lantern
#

languid moon
#

if you get off the waitlist for neu, will it be the boston campus

upbeat lantern
languid moon
#

ai

#

ml= ai

#

i think

trim edge
#

ml isused to train ai

#

its basically regression models

#

if you tell a computer to do something 1000 times itll piece togheter how to do it the 1001 time

#

now if you tell it how to do it 10000000000 times then the results get more accurate

trim edge
trim edge
lyric cypress
#

Y’all think I should commit Indiana Kelley or Northeastern for finance

#

Finance and Poli Sci if I go to NEU

trim edge
#

for finance you needa go to a big school

lyric cypress
#

I mean IU is double the size of Northeastern

#

And ranked higher for finance and cheaper

trim edge
#

ive never heard of iu

lyric cypress
#

Indiana

#

You’ve never heard of Indiana Bloomington it’s like an investment banking semi target

fossil zephyr
#

does anyone know when they send scholarships for people with National Recognition

trim edge
#

pretty sure these are like the universal targets

lyric cypress
#

Yeah honestly those lists are so stupid NEU has like 10 to 20 times the hires as IU at top IB and Consulting firms and it’s half the size of them

#

And IU is considered a semi and NeU is considered a non target

burnt escarp
languid moon
#

co op will bring in money

#

idk if iu has that

lyric cypress
#

They don’t

burnt escarp
#

I remember reading about that

languid moon
lyric cypress
#

IBW or another top workshop yea

burnt escarp
lyric cypress
#

Fuck no

#

Super comp

burnt escarp
#

Lol

lyric cypress
#

Especially cuz IU has 11k undergrad in Kelley

burnt escarp
#

Did you get neu boston?

lyric cypress
#

Also it’s just all this stats and rankings have my views distorted of both schools

lyric cypress
#

But I don’t mind

#

I’ll still have all the benefits of the school

#

London is sick

burnt escarp
#

The only thing i dont like about global scholars is how you move to 2 different campuses, id rather just be in one for 1 year

lyric cypress
#

I agree

burnt escarp
#

But yeah london will be sick

lyric cypress
#

My friend who did it last year was able to only do 1 semester at another campus and then do the other at Boston instead of Oakland

#

For global scholars

burnt escarp
lyric cypress
#

Yea so I hope I can do that

burnt escarp
#

I also got oakland first year, didnt know what global scholars and nuin was so i didnt add them

#

and apparently not many got in boston rd

lyric cypress
#

Like nobody

#

I know 1 person who did RD

fossil zephyr

It was a ton of fun

untold shale
#

yo

#

did fafsa process for you guys yet?

#

for neu

maiden fiber
#

my fafsa processed on the 22th

#

but my neu portal says it hasnt been received yet

untold shale
#

yup

#

sounds right

trim edge
#

oh lemme check

#

oh mines processed

empty wing
#

Do they send an email

trim edge
#

nah you just check

maiden fiber
trim edge
#

Still says awaiting

#

What does sai mean

maiden fiber
#

student aid index

#

its the new version of efc

#

colleges use that number to determine how much aid u get

#

my sai is higher than the one they originally sent me in my submitted confirmation email ;(

lyric cypress
#

im not gettin shit confirmed

maiden fiber
#

urs not processed yet ?

lyric cypress
#

ima have to grind external schlorships

#

my fafsa was processed not by NEU but by fafsa itself

maiden fiber
#

just wait it out i guess

#

you’ll get it soon

#

did u so ur css

#

do*

trim edge
#

So am I gonna have to pay more to match the sai?

maiden fiber
#

sai isnt an actual dollar value

empty wing
#

Damn how is ur sai higher

#

U gotta be rich or sum

junior scroll
#

if you dont mind what is it? 👁️

maiden fiber
#

its just used to determine ur aid idk what the number represents but its not an actual money value

junior scroll
#

mine jumped by 30k after processing so im tryna cope kek

maiden fiber
#

well mine is kinda complicated

#

when i submitted it, it said my sai couldnt be calculated bc i wasnt eligible for pell grant

empty wing
#

0 sai but my neu estimator wants me to pay 40k a year 🌚

maiden fiber
#

but i did my fafsa for my brother with the exact same financial info and he got -1500 sai

#

ours both processed and our sai came out to be 0

#

was hoping for the lowest amount possible but o well

trim edge
#

Isn’t it efc

#

Like how much you can pay?

junior scroll
#

its not its just a number colleges use to compare you with others

trim edge
junior scroll
#

to determine who needs aid more than others

maiden fiber
#

yeah i know thats why i was hoping my processed sai would be -1500

trim edge
#

So it doesn’t mean a monetary value

#

Or an efc

maiden fiber
#

yeah

trim edge
#

Interesting

junior scroll
#

is yours above 30k or under ?

trim edge
#

Do we know when financial packages are finalized?

trim edge
maiden fiber
#

damn

#

i think chillin w my 0 sai then LMFAO

fossil zephyr
#

Does northeastern have grade inflation

trim edge
empty wing
#

how is my sai 0 but the estimator says i have to pay 40k

trim edge
#

Yea

trim edge
trim edge
# maiden fiber i think chillin w my 0 sai then LMFAO

Here’s what I found online "The formula is simple: cost of attendance (COA) minus Student Aid Index (SAI) and other financial assistance equals eligibility for need-based financial aid. But it's never simple...

"

maiden fiber
#

that doesnt make sense cus lower sai means higher financial need ?

trim edge
#

So it’s cost of attendance

#
  • sai
#

And that’s how much you get in fin aid

#

That’s what I understood

maiden fiber
#

ohhh

trim edge
#

Kinda makes sense

maiden fiber
#

how would a negative sai work then are u getting more fin aid than ur coa

trim edge
#

They’re gonna pay you to go to school

maiden fiber
#

formula cant be that accurate

trim edge
#

Ofc not

maiden fiber
#

if my sai is 0 thatd mean theyd cover my whole tuition

empty wing
#

no

trim edge
#

Did you get a fin aid package from northeastern

empty wing
#

no

#

theyve been prepping my fin aid package since early feb

maiden fiber
#

nah cus i got in rd

trim edge
#

Oh I see

#

What major are you

maiden fiber
#

cs

#

they say ill get my tentative offer by april 5th and then when my fafsa comes theyll finalize it

trim edge
#

My tentative offer was really good

#

And I hope my sai doesn’t cause them to revise my offer

maiden fiber
#

hopefully

meager isle
#

-1500 would be like full ride i think?

maiden fiber
#

damn 😔

languid moon
#

so how many co ops can you do

maiden fiber
#

u can do 3 but you'd have to graduate in 5 years

languid moon
#

2 means 6 months each

#

so 12 months ??

maiden fiber
#

yea

languid moon
#

2 coops and 4 yrs

#

sounds nice

maiden fiber
#

mhm

#

gotta take summer classes tho

languid moon
#

i mean idc, about that atleast im away from my house and got experience

#

so it would be easier to get a job

maiden fiber
#

yeah

languid moon
#

i need them to unwaitlist me

maiden fiber
#

🙏 \

languid moon
#

and you only know if you get off the waitlist after may 1

maiden fiber
#

have u written a loci

languid moon
#

??

languid moon
#

but i will this week

languid moon
maiden fiber
#

if ima be real its prob gonna be so hard getting off the wl

languid moon
#

i know :/

maiden fiber
#

they yield protected sm strong applicants

languid moon
#

im not strong at all

#

i am even surprised i got waitlisted

maiden fiber
#

yeah better than rejection at least !

languid moon
maiden fiber
#

is neu ur top school

languid moon
#

basically, i am waiting for vassar,nyu, and barnard

#

but those are reaches

maiden fiber
#

oo ok

languid moon
#

chances are very low so, realistically neu is my top school

#

i mean if i somehow get into nyu vs neu, i think i would take neu just because of the co op

#

2-3 month internsips in the summer vs 12 month internship

meager isle
#

everyone applying be having same good stats

pliant lotus
#

yeah i don't doubt that they yield protect, but most defers/waitlists are not yield protects

#

they just have very little time to read very many applications

languid moon
#

which is why im hoping they go commit to other schools

#

cursedmoon okay you got into neu and upenn, go to upenn

trim edge
languid moon
#

probably not possible

pliant lotus
#

I also really question how strong the apps are of people who think they got yield protected

meager isle
pliant lotus
#

like my app was strong enough for GT CS OOS but NEU did not "yield protect" me (to clarify i was admitted honors college EA)

trim edge
languid moon
maiden fiber
#

from the ppl i know they got yield protected

#

my bf got into ucla cs oos, waitlisted by neu

trim edge

his friend got into cmu cs, waitlisted by neu too

my stats are no where near cmu level

trim edge
#

I got a friend that got into cmu

pliant lotus
#

everyone from my school get waitlist CMU except 1 admit (non CS admit)

trim edge
#

CMU waitlisted everyone

#

They waitlist around 10k people

pliant lotus
#

i got waitlist scs noooo

trim edge
#

Waitlist is pretty much the same as rejection

languid moon
trim edge
#

One of my friends got waitlist by CMU as well

maiden fiber

#

I checked the numbers and they waitlisted 9k people

pliant lotus

4.6k people accepted the waitlist pool

And then they accepted like 43 people from waitlist

languid moon
#

ap gpa ?

maiden fiber
#

cus he took 15 aps and straight a's throughout hs

trim edge
#

Bro I got 6 bs and got 4.7

meager isle
languid moon
trim edge
#

25 DEs

#

Bro if I got straight as I coulda had a 4.9

languid moon
#

now i want to see why the AOs waitlisted me

trim edge
#

One of my friend has the same course courserigro as@me and got has a 4.9

languid moon
#

i mean i know its a holistic process but 3.4 vs 4.0

#

which is why i don’t understand why people were saying “yield”

meager isle
#

they kinda have to look at it from a school to school basis

languid moon
#

like high school ?

meager isle
languid moon
#

or like major wise

meager isle
#

highschool

languid moon
meager isle
#

not every highschool pffers the same courses

#

esp rigor

languid moon
#

i took 11 dual/ap classes

#

2 ap 9 dual enrollment

#

some honors

meager isle
#

whereas my school only offers 1 DE lol

languid moon
#

maybe i shouldnt have been depressed freshman yr

trim edge
#

I wish I didn’t screw up jr hear

#

If I had a 4.0 I’d get in gtech

languid moon
languid moon
languid moon
meager isle
languid moon
#

i mesn my school doesn’t have more resources or anything

#

its just public ga school system

#

all schools have dual enrollment

meager isle
#

but comparing to schools nationally

#

it does vary a lot

languid moon
#

your school didnt have honors or ap?

trim edge
languid moon
#

yes

trim edge
#

Bro you’re in state and didn’t get into gtech?

languid moon
#

my gpa is 3.4

trim edge
#

Apply for transfer

languid moon
#

i did apply i got rejected

#

but offered transfer pathway

trim edge
#

You’re gonna get a transfer pathway

#

Bro go to cc lmfao

languid moon
#

yes thats guaranteed

trim edge
#

You can easily get into gtech

trim edge
languid moon
trim edge
#

But you’re preferred

languid moon
#

well they said i wont be compared to anyone

trim edge
#

Nah it’s def not guaranteed

languid moon
#

but yeah preferred

trim edge
#

I’ve talked to people in the gtech transfer discord and they said it’s not guaranteed

#

Imma try to transfer there after a year

languid moon
#

oh

#

well its a higher chance

trim edge
#

Yeah you’re in a good spot

languid moon
#

but i cant do cs

#

only compE

#

but its close enough

trim edge
#

Don’t do comp Eng if you don’t like engineering

#

It’s not gonna go well

#

Only do comp eng if you’re 100% sure you’re gonna like it

languid moon
#

i wan to be a swe

trim edge
#

Comp eng can become swes

languid moon
trim edge
#

But don’t study comp Eng cuz you wanted cs and couldn’t get it

dusky vault

LETS FUCKING GOOOO @tired meteor @fickle wyvern @twilit hinge

#

🤷‍♂️

#

I’m gonna try to transfer

#

Have you taken any physics classes

languid moon
#

i was wondering, between cs at a state school or compe ga tech

#

yes

trim edge
#

calc based?

languid moon
#

no? it was honors physics

#

not ap or dual

trim edge
#

I recommend taking phys 1 and 2 before deciding about comp Eng at gtech

#

What kind of math have you taken?

languid moon
#

i didnt like the class got a 92 uw and 97 w

languid moon
trim edge
#

Hmmm

#

Okay here’s what I’d do if I were you

#

Id go to cc

#

And take phys 1-2

#

Calc 2

#

Lin alg

#

And diff eq

#

And then see how you’re feeling

languid moon
#

i wont go to a cc, just a uni

#

like gsu

trim edge
#

Id say 90% of cs/ engineers won’t make it passed these classes

trim edge
languid moon
#

any uni, then transfer after one yr

trim edge
#

Alr

languid moon
#

after i think 30 credits

trim edge
#

But I’d take those classes and see how you’re feeling

languid moon
#

also transfer partway is different from regular transfer

#

so ig thats why i thought it was guaranteed

#

because i wont be compared to anyone, just need to meet the class requirements they give me

languid moon
trim edge
#

Take it and see how you’re feeling

#

Especially the physics

languid moon
#

i mean i did well in high school physics

trim edge
#

Phys in college is insanely hard

languid moon
#

and i am taking calc 1, so i will be fine

trim edge
#

And I’m pretty sure you need calc 2 minimum to take the phys

#

Cuz you needa know how to do integrate

languid moon
#

welp, somehow hope neu accepts me from the waitlist

#

or one of my schools this week

#

invite me to the gatech discord

trim edge
#

Neu cs is pretty good

#

Job opportunity is one of the best at all schools

#

But I don’t like the curriculum tm

languid moon
#

im just hoping nyu lets me in

trim edge
#

I feel like if I did the supp I’d get in

languid moon
#

did you apply rd or ed

trim edge
#

Rd

languid moon
#

i guess with your stats you could afford to skip supps

untold shale
#

:(

#

But hey I’m a terrible case of bad luck lol

trim edge
#

Praying I can just brute force my way in

#

People were saying it’s impossible to get in without supp but I’ve seen people get in without it

#

To cas as well

#

I applied tandon

languid moon
#

fuck

#

why apply to tandon, noooo

#

i applied to tandon too

#

but with a 3.4

#

unless they recalculate my gpa

#

its a bit confusing because my gpa is either 3.3 uw/3.4 w or 3.3uw/3.7w

#

yet my counselor said its 3.4, but on my transcript it shows both

languid moon
#

what does this translate to

trim edge
trim edge
#

Let them calculate it

#

I’m hoping they consider the course rigor

#

I think that’s why I got into neu

#

The srar

#

I got to write down every single course by hand

languid moon
untold shale
# languid moon

in my school thats a 3.3 UW 3.7 W but probably different in other schools

#

wait

#

oops

languid moon
#

you mean 3.7 ??

#

oh ok

untold shale
#

no yeah

#

3.7

#

mb

#

lol

languid moon
#

which is why i hope i have some type of chance

untold shale
#

i think my UW was like 93 something and weighted 96 something

trim edge
#

Yeah same but I didn’t do the sup

untold shale
#

my school doesnt do UW tho

#

just weighted

languid moon
#

i think my sup was good

#

for nyu

#

idk if they use w or uw

#

probably uw

untold shale
#

2% between 3.0 and 2.24 is crazy

#

wait whats ur major

languid moon
#

cs

#

ik noooo

untold shale
#

ah

#

cas

#

cas is very tough

#

near stern level

languid moon
#

no i mean cs at tandon

#

i knew cas would be impossible

untold shale
#

is that GPA above unweighted

languid moon
untold shale
#

prob is

#

thats still ppl accepted

#

i heard cases of nyu taking lower stat people

#

i mean

languid moon
#

7% chance

untold shale
#

doesnt work that way

languid moon
#

tandon is apparently easier to get into

languid moon
#

just pointing out

untold shale
#

yes but tandon got a LOT harder over the year

#

also

#

my friend was in bottom 50%

#

of the class

#

and he was deferred from stern

languid moon
#

what was his gpa

trim edge
#

Praying I get in

untold shale
#

uhh weighted was like a 3.7

trim edge
#

I didn’t even do sup

#

😞

languid moon
#

it was fun tbh

trim edge
#

I’m terrible at writing

languid moon
#

only one sup too

languid moon
untold shale
# trim edge I didn’t even do sup

u can still get in tbh. if they really do like you theyll take you without the supp. honestly i can tell you this from experience cus all of my supplemental reaches (which i thought were more likely cus i gave them more info based on my business passions) rejected me while neu (no supp) accepted me

languid moon
#

i wish someone reviewed my sups

trim edge
languid moon
#

could you rate my nyu essay

#

be brutal

trim edge
#

Im not the one to ask

#

You need help with math/ programming/ physics I’m your guy

#

But writing I can’t do that

untold shale
#

8 rejections from reaches

#

🔥

#

imagine i get into an ivy

#

would be funny

#

accepted ivy+neu rejected villanova etc etc etc 💀

languid moon

languid moon
#

re reading my essays make me cringe

can u rate my ivy essays

yeah sure

I mean reading over the essays isn’t gonna do anything tho😭

you should attach a pic of the cake

#

so they know that you are the one that @ them on tiktok

dusky vault
#

But idk how to talk abt it… professionally?

untold shale
#

and mention the cake

#

but also let me give you some advice rq

#

so when you want something from someone, you need to tell them how YOU will benefit THEM

#

so talk about how much you love northeastern, but also talk about how youd fit in there, and how that would benefit both the school itself and the entire community just with your mere presence

dusky vault
#

oh geez i totally formatted this like an update letter rather than a true 'why me, northeastern'

#

im gonna re-outline this hmmm

untold shale
#

they know you want the school because you applied there and are sending a loci, but they need to know why they want you over someone just as dedicated and seemingly as qualified

hopefully your account has your real name

fickle wyvern
# dusky vault But idk how to talk abt it… professionally?

Northeastern, I hope that this letter can adequately convey my love for you - I long for you like the waves long for the shore, like the frosting longs for the cake (peep my take on the metaphor on TikTok @dusky vault), like the night yearns for the day, like the winter yearns for the spring, like Romeo and Juliet, like Bonnie and Clyde, like Cinderella and Prince Charming. You are my glass slipper, Northeastern, and I would duel for your love. Please accept my sincere and heartfelt confession, and continue considering me as a candidate from the waitlist.

and he made remade songs but babson version

dusky vault

he was singing and playing on piano

basically glazed babson and he got in

also some girl emailed like ucla or whatever college it was i forgot

Ok

I had a 3.7 and a 1460 ik its better but neu standards thats not great

dusky vault
#

wait for gpa is that just like

#

most recent?

#

or what you applied with

languid moon
#

i think most recent

#

like senior semester 1 grades as well

#

not 2nd semester grades though

dusky vault
#

oooo okok

#

3.7 n 32 (act)

#

ive probs read like 3 locis omllll

#

its literally just 'thx for putting me on, heres what i think i would bring now thats changed from before? cool cake stuff bye' right?

untold shale
#

sure, but also talk about why you want to go there

#

a bit of why they would you and you want them

#

also @languid moon northeastern over-waitlists (they will waitlist anyone for so many reasons, one reason i heard was even that since they have so many apps maybe they didnt even get to read yours so they put you on the waitlist to read you later but that might be a rumor)

#

dont expect to get off the waitlist, BUT be very happy if you do

#

also if you do something like Mira itd definitely help lol

#

im not expecting ivies

#

but if i get one ill be ecstatic

languid moon
untold shale
#

but dw just do ur best

#

definitely write a loci if you actually want to go there

#

and put effort into it if u can

#

an neu waitlist is prob better than the one i got either way (babson)

#

pretty sure babson doesnt taken anyone from it, even tho its harder to get waitlisted there

dusky vault
untold shale
#

yeah

dusky vault
#

this cake is actually pulling me through rewriting this plz

#

theres like 3 slices leftttt

can you get fin aid if you dont submit fafsa though?
