[trim edge]

i think imma commit soon

[charred mulch]

😭😭😭

Damn I’m sorry ur friend didn’t get in

[empty wing]

U committing to neu?

[trim edge]

Unless something crazy happens with my gin aid

Fin

Then yeah

[languid moon]

boston campus?

[trim edge]

Oakland first

[hollow surge]

ayy more neu peeps

[hollow surge]

lol ya she commited to WIT instead

so were neighbors atleast lol

[hollow surge]

bro sat's are worse now and im so happy were done with em

[charred mulch]

Oh nice that’s quite close

[charred mulch]

Fr bro I’m so glad I don’t have to deal with the digital sat that thing looks like a shitshow

[trim edge]

apparently its easier to get like 1200 but harder to get 1500

since its adaptive

[charred mulch]

Oh interesting

[plucky heath]

can vouch for this

i was doing 1200 diagnostic on dsat

but 1050 diagnostic on paper

1500 is harder though fs, unless youre sommeone who can get a 1600 on papaer

[trim edge]

my khan academy practice tests were pretty accurate to my paper performance

i might take the new sat

if i apply for transfer after a year

[plucky heath]

do yyou need to take the sat in college

or can you rather

[vivid verge]

hello is this is the admitted northeastern thread??

[pliant lotus]

it's just the NEU thread

but yeah if you have questions it's the right place

[trim edge]

if imma apply for transfer i might take it again and see how it goes

i think most colleges are gonna transition back to test required so i think my score will look better than rn

[vivid verge]

ah okay

[novel bolt]

late to the convo but when i took practice tests i would do most of them digitally and the highest score i ever got was a 1440

when i took the paper sat i got a 1550 (800 reading 750 math)

it def depends on how you practiced/your learning style but imo the digital is probably a lot harder than the paper version

and i say this as someone who’s been in virtual schooling since covid hit when i was in 8th grade

[digital night]

does anyone have the neu logo but transparent?

i ltt cant find one online

[maiden fiber]

run one through a background remover website

[empty wing]

remove.bg is goated

[maiden fiber]

i like slazzer i think its called

[tulip rampart]

https://brand.northeastern.edu/visual-identity/university-wordmarks/

[austere kettle]

i was just searching up my stats on here to try to find success stories 😭 have you gotten any acceptances? we have nearly identical stats and i need some hope rn

[untold shale]

yo if anyone got into NU-in during rd, can you dm me pls?

[languid moon]

so far only a waitlist to northeastern, i would say apply to good safety schools you like, then apply to six reaches, get rdy for rejection

also apply to like schools with a 50% acceptance rate like George washington uni, i didnt even know schools with good aid had 50%

like apply to american uni, george wash uni, research good aid schools with 50%-40%, and dont be surprised you get rejected but your chances are higher compared some school with 20%

and also depending on your major you will straight up get rejected from every college

even if you would have got in through like an easier major like english

i did cs, applying to reach schools, it was a lottery, i still have barnard and nyu left but 95-98% i dont get in

but yes apply to safeties, i knew what i was getting myself into, even though i knew chances were low, still caused me a bit of stress, so probably treat yourself to like something you like after getting rejected

[tired meteor]

that is not true

top universities don't admit by major

[languid moon]

sure

what about udub

what about ga tech

i didnt apply to ivies if that is whst you mean

or purdue or uiuic

how come everyone says 2% oos cs for udub

ik it doesn’t mean your major is permanent

[tired meteor]

a lot of public universities do admit by major yeah but that doesn't mean you're gonna get rejected everywhere based on your major

[languid moon]

but like dont they consider

[languid moon]

well i meant my top schools then

[tired meteor]

yeah but if you want to study cs and your app is geared towards that then you wouldn't get in just because you apply as an English major

[languid moon]

i didnt say that

it would have to geared towards english

you wouldnt get in but higher chances

compared to cs

[tired meteor]

hmm

[languid moon]

but still with our stats im being real, its a lottery, fall in love with a safety school, hope for the best

just giving them my advice,

people want to act like money/stats/major dont matter, well i wont lie to this person

[tired meteor]

that advice is true yeah you need to romanticize your safety school but the way you put it implies that you should apply to "easier" majors which won't help anyone

[languid moon]

no i am not saying apply to easy majors

im saying that major is important

i didnt mean to imply that

[tired meteor]

yeah but that's how it came across

im not trying to argue with you lol just wanted to clarify what you meant

[languid moon]

okay well the person can see it now, when they check

[tired meteor]

but yeah would definitely agree that you need to fall in love with safety schools

mm yeah

[languid moon]

the people who have “success” stories got in with other majors/got in 5 yrs ago

i mean these “successful” stories are getting lower, but yes still apply to reaches, if you have a fee waiver/money you never know

[tired meteor]

yeah you miss hundred percent of the shots you don't take

[languid moon]

looking into how AOs do shit, they have personal biases, maybe they go for the underdog

or maybe you get lucky, just too much of a lottery, too much goes into this process

[languid moon]

also if you are a person of color, check the demographics/personal experiences :), i think especially if you are black

[trim edge]

its less than 2

i believe htey admittd around 30-40 out of 3k

and thats old data too from a few years ago

someone told me their oos acceptance rate in general was ~10%

[languid moon]

well yes major matters

plus oos/international as well

[austere kettle]

thank you so much for responding! most of the schools i’m applying to have a 40%-50% acceptance rate, so i’m hoping that’ll work out in my favor. i’m planning to apply as an english major as well. and i totally get what you mean about that btw, cs is definitely more competitive than english rn

i wish you the absolute best!! i hope you get into nyu and barnard

[maiden fiber]

guys how long did it take to get ur acceptance package or letter

[digital night]

my friend told me her package sucked and it was only a letter and folder 😭

idk for surr tho

i havent gotten mine

[maiden fiber]

yeah thats wat everyone is saying unfortunately 😪

[glossy coyote]

i dont even remember getting one

i think if i did though it was just a folder

with the letter inside

[round wyvern]

i got a poster

[glossy coyote]

what?!

[maiden fiber]

how long did it take to get urs

[twilit hinge]

u get a poster, letter, some info about ur program and thats pretty much it

[maiden fiber]

not even stickers 😔

even rutgers sent a better package

[twilit hinge]

fr where our money goin

[trim edge]

Like 3 weeks

Was mid tho

I didn’t even get stickers

[round wyvern]

few weeks I think

[stuck sandal]

no fair

[trim edge]

no seperate acceptance rates per campus

[dusky nebula]

is there a class of 24 discord?

[verbal helm]

I got a scholarship from neu

@twilit hinge

[languid moon]

boston campus ??

[verbal helm]

yes

[languid moon]

im worried if i write an loci, and i get in it wont be the boston campus

i dont want to be at oakland for four yrs

i could do one though

[verbal helm]

most people at oakland do 1 year

i think neu allows them to

[languid moon]

ah ok

[trim edge]

its one year

idt they admit anyone for 4 years oakland

[empty wing]

They still sending out scholarships?

[trim edge]

nah

all merits were released at the time of decisions

[fossil zephyr]

na

deadline april first

for National Recognition Scholar

[cold cliff]

northeastern scholarship is a joke

They gave me $7k/yr like "Now you only have to pay 79k instead of 86!"

[trim edge]

you didnt get any fin aid?

[cold cliff]

nah only merit

[trim edge]

did you apply for it?

[empty wing]

Still waiting for my fin aid 🌝

[trim edge]

rough

you going?

[languid moon]

did you get into nyu

[trim edge]

Nope

[languid moon]

same

[trim edge]

What’re your options

[languid moon]

neu waitlist, ga tech trasnfer compE

state school

asu or ga state school

[twilit hinge]

Wait how

[trim edge]

Gsu or uga?

[verbal helm]

idk

[twilit hinge]

They just sent? i thought it only comes out with ur letter

Is it a dean scholarship?

[trim edge]

Yeah that’s what I heard

Merits rebased at times of decision

[languid moon]

gsu

[trim edge]

I’d go gsu for now

See if you get in off neu

And if not stick it out at gsu and try gtech

[languid moon]

im glad this is over,

[languid moon]

makes me think neu made a mistake waitlisting me

[trim edge]

You’ll be fine

Getting waitlisted isn’t the end of the world

[empty wing]

yeah thats why im confused too

[trim edge]

are our fin aid packages gonna b erevised once fafsa is received?

[slow warren]

I rejected northeastern today hope one of ya'll gets in off the waiting list

[fossil zephyr]

bro been typing that in every channel

[slow warren]

I literally said that I was going to do it in the duke channel

and said in here that I did

[grizzled bough]

wow nice mit

ur NoGPA right?

[slow warren]

yeah

[grizzled bough]

Did u apply to harvard

[slow warren]

No

I didn't apply to any ivys

[grizzled bough]

What were ur EC's

[slow warren]

I can DM

[prime gale]

Northeastern here i come

Screw them ivys

[twilit hinge]

welcome

[prime gale]

How do i get into the admitted discord

[twilit hinge]

use ur student hub account neu provided u and join the student hub on discord

then u should see the admitted server as well as other servers

if u cant find it still I'll invite u

[prime gale]

Word

[mortal grail]

How many kids do u think will get off the waitlist?

[lyric cypress]

No clue

Like how many did they waitlist

[mortal grail]

like practically everyone

[lyric cypress]

um idk

anyone know how many they accepted this year

Im thinkin more than last year

I personally have like 8 friends atleast who will be declining there acceptances so maybe yall will get the spots

[sick scarab]

so yall

i got into northeastern but im not planning to dorm

do yall know if its like

non negotiable, as in I can't talk it out with them?

my friend said his sister did that

and was allowed to commute as a freshman but idk

[lyric cypress]

um im not sure

id assume if u annoyed them enough they would let u

[charred mulch]

there are a few commuters here so its definitely possible

[languid moon]

how are the co ops

[charred mulch]

im a freshman so i havent done any coops yet

[languid moon]

when do you do co ops

like sophomore junior ?

[charred mulch]

its gonna be one of:

• spring of 2nd year and spring of 3rd year
• fall of 3rd year and fall of 4th year

the semester before you go on coop you take this coop prep course that helps you with the application process

[languid moon]

thats awesome

how is campus

are the dorms decent ?

[charred mulch]

the cs one for example

[charred mulch]

campus is nice imo

i like the vibes which is part of why i chose it

great location

[sick scarab]

ahh i see

[sick scarab]

ooooh thats good to know

[charred mulch]

youll have rlly good access to transit (green and orange line)

[sick scarab]

ight ill figure somethign out thanks

ye like

ruggles is right next to the big circle area

[languid moon]

wow so they give you interview advice

[charred mulch]

dorms are pretty decent
a lot of ppl end up in forced triples tho

[sick scarab]

and i live near a train station

[charred mulch]

yeah i believe so

[charred mulch]

yep

[languid moon]

boston is walkable right ?

[charred mulch]

yeah its rlly walkable

you wont need a car

[languid moon]

i think harvard is like couple mins away

as well as mit

[charred mulch]

more than a couple mins but theyre fairly close

[languid moon]

are the parties on campus good

or do they have parties

[charred mulch]

im not much of a party person tbh
but yes they have parties on/near campus

although frat culture isnt the biggest thing here

a lot of ppl go to the bu and mit frats

[languid moon]

oh okay

well were you on the waitlist

or accepted

[charred mulch]

i got in ea

[languid moon]

oh okay

[charred mulch]

wbu

[languid moon]

waitlisted

just hoping i get in

[charred mulch]

ah icic good luck 🙏

is this one of ur top choices?

[languid moon]

my only top choice

either get in here or go to my state school and maybe transfer into ga tech

but hoping i get in here

[charred mulch]

oh yeah thats valid

i was also choosing between here and my state school

[languid moon]

im thinking i should draw a picture with to add to my loci letter

maybe they will like it

[charred mulch]

go for it tbh
not gonna hurt you

[languid moon]

how hard are the classes

[stoic cliff]

Do u guys know anything abt how hard it is to transfer out of Northeastern

[languid moon]

transfer out ??

why

[stoic cliff]

It’s my top choice rn but I’m more interested in some other schools

Like I know colleges accept more transfers from community colleges

Idk how much harder it is to transfer out of a more established university like Neu

[charred mulch]

this is gonna depend on the class itself and the prof
ive had some quite easy classes and some that are hard as hell
so theres the whole spectrum

[languid moon]

why not just go to a cc then

[stoic cliff]

Bc from what I’ve seen they want to see that you have a reason for transferring out and that’s harder to show with neu vs a cc

[stoic cliff]

Bc it’s risky

Incase transferring doesn’t work out I’d still be fine with neu

[verbal helm]

its a special scholarship

[verbal helm]

not sure why they gave it to me so late

[charred mulch]

that can happen i think

for me they updated my scholarship a few months after decisions

twice actually 💀

[maiden fiber]

u can apply for the requirement to be waived, if u live in boston it’s pretty easy getting it approved https://housing.northeastern.edu/residency-waiver/

[languid moon]

@untold shale

they have a business version

[untold shale]

awesome

[trim edge]

You can’t have your foot in both camps

You gotta@make a decision

Don’t go to a school if you’re planning to transfer out of it unless it’s a cc

You don’t wanna be paying almost 80k a year for a stepping stone to another college

And that’s if you get in

[stoic cliff]

I’m perfectly fine with neu and will most likely be going there anyways

But I am also js generally interested in other schools as well

So I’m js trying to see how much of a possibility that is

So js asking if anyone knows anything abt that

[untold shale]

ig im prolly gonna be here

not officially committed but

i only got this and targets/safeties

originally i lowkey wanted to ed here

so i was rlly happy i got in but now that i think about it it really hurts that i didnt get into an ivy or stern 😭

[sick scarab]

omg thank you so much

[sick scarab]

ur a lifesaver

[maiden fiber]

np

[charred mulch]

yeah i feel you

but keep in mind this is pretty much just as competitive so you should def be proud of yourself

[charred mulch]

i second this

if ur goal is to transfer
just save money and go to cc

[empty wing]

Ok now I’m scared for my fin aid

[twilit hinge]

did aid get processed yet

[cold cliff]

it's marked as shitpost, prob j a joke knocking at neu's lack of fin aid

[twilit hinge]

oh good catch

lmao

[ebon wing]

Even if you did ED and got great aid from another school, can you call them and ask them to match

Or ask for your ED to be waived so you can attend that other school because of better aid

[trim edge]

idk how their aid is terrible tbh

my aid was insanely generous

and i didnt qualify for any kind of federal aid

[empty wing]

My classmate got into Harvard and Dartmouth yesterday

Ego ruined

[languid moon]

oh its a shitpost

[trim edge]

one of mine got gtech cmu

love him for it

[twilit hinge]

my whole friend grou pgot rejected WWWWW

[trim edge]

your ego must be inflated rn

[twilit hinge]

nah : (

but they still got into some good schools

one did get into gtown so happy for him

[trim edge]

gtowns good

theyre gonna be coming near me

[twilit hinge]

just keep cooking bro

like literally the food u make looks good

[twilit hinge]

yeye

[trim edge]

is he fr a chef?

[twilit hinge]

#1139409057313214464

just scroll through

its all just college reaction post meals

[trim edge]

i had no idea we had a foods channel

my food wipes tho

[twilit hinge]

theres a lot of hidden threads

[trim edge]

perks of being a moderator

[twilit hinge]

nah bro u can find them easily too

go to general chat, click that thread top right, theres a huge list

[trim edge]

should make me mod

promise i wont destroy the server

i think

[twilit hinge]

maybe when apps come out u can go apply for fun

[dusky nebula]

does nu.in cost extra or is everything the same throughout?

[trim edge]

maybe

but by then ill be locked in on school

[twilit hinge]

yea same

[trim edge]

when does apps begin?

[twilit hinge]

tbh it varies

[trim edge]

im so tired of apps bro

[untold shale]

I’m gonna fix what I did this app season

And re apply for ivies and stern

But I’ll probably be happy here anyways

[trim edge]

when?

[languid moon]

i would never want to redo this all over again

i feel bad for transfer students

[trim edge]

its not that bad

[languid moon]

would you transfer after one yr ??

also arent transfer rates lower than high school seniors

[fossil zephyr]

for most schools ya

i think cc -> uc its higher

expect for CS its the same

[languid moon]

lmao cs is that competitive

:/

[untold shale]

In like a year

I’m p sure ppl do transfer applications around this time

Either I’m fine with neu

Just not that price holy

[trim edge]

no theyre not

transfer is much much higer

[untold shale]

I’d only be like aight im okay with this price if it was Ivy League

And nyu would be cheaper for me cus I’d be commuter

[trim edge]

schools like cornell and columbia have around 15% transfer acceptance rate, while undergrad is around 7%

[languid moon]

oh

hmm

[trim edge]

idk idt imma try for gtech anymore

[untold shale]

Im assuming transfer students are more competitive though, no?

[languid moon]

maybe if i transfer to gatech i can try harvard lmao

[trim edge]

most poeple are 4.0s

[untold shale]

Also it’s easier to transfer to a good college if ur already in one

[trim edge]

harvard takes like 10 peolpe

[languid moon]

[untold shale]

It’d prob be easy to transfer to another good school from neu

[trim edge]

harvard mit stanford are basically impossible for transfer

[trim edge]

ccs are preferrred i believe

[untold shale]

For ucs

[trim edge]

not just ucs

[untold shale]

Idk about every school

[trim edge]

lots of liek ivys etc

ik cornell, and columbia have partnerships with ccs for transfer

[untold shale]

Ye but like transferring from northeastern would prob be easier than from a regular commuter school

[trim edge]

who knows

[untold shale]

Bet ima go to Kingsborough

I got into their honors program

They keep bugging me about it every day bro

💀

[languid moon]

which ones

[trim edge]

for columbia

[untold shale]

They literally called me in the middle of class saying I was a strong candidate for honors

[trim edge]

reed college, washington jefferson

but its not guaranteed transfer anymore

theyre preferred

and theres a list of like 30 for columbia

idk about cornell but ikt hey have some transfer pathway stuff

[languid moon]

oh ok

im okay with neu if i get in

i dont rlly care about ivies,

[ebon wing]

Even if you did ED and got great aid from another school, can you call them and ask them to match Or ask for your ED to be waived so you can attend that other school because of better aid

[languid moon]

i dont think so

does the aid meet your needs for the ed school

[ebon wing]

I would have to pay full price for NEU

I am not getting and aid or scholarships

That’s why I’m wondering if I can go to the other school for cheaper

[languid moon]

can you afford full price

[ebon wing]

I mean technically yeah but we all like to save money

[languid moon]

“technically”

[ebon wing]

And I would actually enjoy the other school

[languid moon]

what other school

[ebon wing]

LMU

[languid moon]

that stands for ?

[ebon wing]

Loyola Marymount university in Los Angeles

NEU is just not worth 200k

[lyric cypress]

Im choosing NEU over LMU

[ebon wing]

@lyric cypress did you get any scholarships?

[languid moon]

hmm maybe,

[lyric cypress]

LMU like 9k a year not much im full pay neu

they cost like the same bruh

[languid moon]

full pay sheesh

[ebon wing]

If I called NEU would they force me because it is ED because they can technically replace me with someone off the waitlist

[lyric cypress]

u ed to neu bruh

[languid moon]

you can try

[ebon wing]

I got the equivalent to a 2 year scholarship

[lyric cypress]

at lmu

[ebon wing]

Yeah

[lyric cypress]

damn bro good shit

I didnt have the stats for that

[ebon wing]

You got into NEU you did well

[lyric cypress]

i had a 3.5

So I didnt get merit most places

I got merit at like LMU, Brandeis, Utah, St. Lawrence, ASU I think that was it

[ebon wing]

ASU gives merit to everyone lol

[languid moon]

you should try

[lyric cypress]

ik

[languid moon]

soon than later

[lyric cypress]

exactly

[trim edge]

why would you ed a school you cant afford/ you dont want to go to?

[languid moon]

gl

[lyric cypress]

ik someone who did ed LMU and couldnt afford it

if u are full pay at both NEU a much better choice

[trim edge]

i dont get why people ed unless they can 100% afford the school and its their top choice

i went ea, cuz i cant afford full price, and its not my top choice

[lyric cypress]

yea I did ed2 bc rejected still paying 85k plus a year in boston tho

i wont actully pay that tho

NEU sticker price is like wayyyy over what ill end up paying

Ill pay like 220k total instead of like 345k

[languid moon]

can i ask what your parents do

[lyric cypress]

who me

[ebon wing]

I’ll probably just call and see what they say because they could replace me easily from someone off the waitlist so there not losing money

[lyric cypress]

yea exactly

[languid moon]

yeah

[trim edge]

how?

ohh i get it

yeah im so grateful their aid was insane

i wasnt expecting it to be as good as i got it

[ebon wing]

And NEU is the most spoiled school like If Baylor has a better ranked business school than you that’s a problem

[trim edge]

mines like 116k and thats without considering no tuition for semester im on co op

[lyric cypress]

nah I didnt get aide but u only go neu for 3 years since u do co-op and im doing summer courses at my state school for credits cuz neu makes it super easy to do

u only pay for 3 years I mean

[trim edge]

im trynna do 3 co ops in 4 years

i think i can fit it in

[lyric cypress]

bruh by US news us news is ass

they have ASU and U of A above BC, BU, Wake, and Fordham

Poets and Quants a composite ranking has NEU 16th for undegrad biz

[trim edge]

for biz?

[lyric cypress]

yea

[trim edge]

northeasterns been ranked like 40~ every year for the last 10 years except for this last year

[lyric cypress]

asu is good but not better than any of them

[trim edge]

in general not for biz

[lyric cypress]

yeah im talking biz rankings

[lyric cypress]

yeah ik

[trim edge]

really want the rankings to rise tbh

[lyric cypress]

the biz ranking for neu has risen like 5 spots a year for the last few years on us news

but its still wayyy too low

[trim edge]

where is it rn?

[lyric cypress]

47

but its completley innacurate imo

it has one of the highest average starting salarys for biz

[ebon wing]

It’s like 86 what are you looking at

[lyric cypress]

and very high job placement

[lyric cypress]

are u talking about LMU?

[ebon wing]

No NEU

[lyric cypress]

bruh what

its 47 on us news and thats the lowest ranking

its 16 on poets and quants

thats there mba bruh

there mba is bad

but they undergrad biz is good

[ebon wing]

MB 81

[lyric cypress]

yeah thats grad

[trim edge]

graduate

[lyric cypress]

im not going to grad school

For me it was LMU vs. Indiana vs. NEU and now im down to NEU and Indiana

even tho I love LMUs campus if ima pay that much Id rather get the oppurtunies NEU gives me

[trim edge]

oh btw

i did research

iu kelley is actually really really good

[lyric cypress]

its amazing

im aware

Like world class education

if I was really that concerned about rankings id go to IU

[languid moon]

then why not iu kelley

[lyric cypress]

Size

10k+ undergrad biz students

and 40k undergrad

Its absurd

Like in all honesty where I go has zero meaning other than the jobs i could get out of grad I can always just work for a family friend

I think boston would push me to be smarter than a school like Indiana

[empty wing]

yeah im in the same boat

but neu is cheaper

so im leaning towards neu

[lyric cypress]

over iu

[empty wing]

yes

[lyric cypress]

for me its just size, location, and the ability to work while in school

I feel its worth the money

plus if what Ive read and heard is true i can end up paying like 55k a year not 85k

55k on average

[languid moon]

yeah way better

do they count co op money on fafsa/css ?

[lyric cypress]

umm im not sure

like im very exicted to travel to world and shit too

[languid moon]

you got into neu global scholars ?

or whatever they call it

[lyric cypress]

yea

and u can do global co-ops and shit

like I wanna do one in like tel aviv

[languid moon]

so where do you get to go

[lyric cypress]

Im going London and Oakland for now if I commit but i heard I can maybe get outta oakland and just go boston

[empty wing]

how u gonna get out of oakland

[maiden fiber]

u cant rlly get outta it

[empty wing]

and whats wrong with oakland the campus actually looks nice on video

[maiden fiber]

youll go to boston in ur 2nd year

[lyric cypress]

I know multiple people from global schlors who got out of it last year

[empty wing]

how

[languid moon]

apparently the food is trash

[lyric cypress]

they give some people the option like in june or sum

[empty wing]

food is food

im happy with canned fish

[grizzled bough]

My EFC cooked me 💔

[grizzled bough]

Game is Game

[languid moon]

are alot of people declining neu ?

[empty wing]

i heard neu places well in big 4 and a few consulting firms too

[grizzled bough]

I am

[empty wing]

better than kelley

[languid moon]

oh okay

gives me hope

[grizzled bough]

https://tenor.com/view/stop-the-cap-cap-stop-gif-18472918

Nooo

[lyric cypress]

I have 8 friends who are decliing

[empty wing]

they have a strong presence in LEK

[languid moon]

i see

[grizzled bough]

Are u full pay

[languid moon]

no im fin aid

[lyric cypress]

If u look at linkedn NEU has more alumni currently at top IB and consulting firms than IU

the target lists are actual Bs

[languid moon]

makes sense

[lyric cypress]

i had an MD tell me to go NEU over IU

like iu has great recruiting

[languid moon]

i don’t understand how anyone is full paying schools

unless they saved/ rich

[lyric cypress]

but the target shit is pretty much cap unless its wharton or an ivy

[lyric cypress]

saved

[twilit hinge]

some people have saved like a seperate program

[empty wing]

neu places well at top IB? i only heard a couple kids going to GS this year

[twilit hinge]

its under the gov

I forgot what its exactly called

[lyric cypress]

my parents aved sooo much

[grizzled bough]

What did they say

[lyric cypress]

They place fine

[twilit hinge]

like u can only take the moeny out for educational pruposes usually college

[empty wing]

i thought neu places better for consulting

[lyric cypress]

cuz of co-op

[lyric cypress]

to go to northeastern cuz its up and coming

[empty wing]

im more interested in consulting now too ngl

less hours

similar pay

[lyric cypress]

they said IU is a trend which is really dumb imo

so id take his word with a grain of salt

[lyric cypress]

same

like its all about getting a good co-op

if u can do that ur kinda set

[languid moon]

is that why they waitlisted alot of people

cause others would get into better schools

[empty wing]

neu actually has a lot of co ops for PE and consulting

[lyric cypress]

the only kid ik who graduated from NEU recently from my school works for BCG now cuz of co-op

[empty wing]

yeah BCG is one of them

[languid moon]

yeah the co ops are so good

[lyric cypress]

wait lemme show u sum

[grizzled bough]

Well their credibility in the gutter now

[lyric cypress]

go to Linkedn go to any top firm and I guarntee NEU has more current employees by like double than IU

[lyric cypress]

I mean they are on forbes

[languid moon]

why

[empty wing]

why

[lyric cypress]

cuz its a dumb comment

IU is a very accredited school

[empty wing]

idk about that

[grizzled bough]

It’s not a true statement

[lyric cypress]

trust me do it

its wild

it shocked me

thats how i realized target lists are bs

[empty wing]

IU placed like 80 kids in top IB last year

[lyric cypress]

I dont think thats true

[ebon wing]

NEU had a 90 percent acceptance rate this year according to someone I know

[languid moon]

???

they are lying

[lyric cypress]

90 percent is wild

like 25/ 30 max

[lyric cypress]

its prob around 10

[empty wing]

118

[lyric cypress]

read the description thats since 2008

[empty wing]

where

[lyric cypress]

Peak frameworks

also those things understate numbers

so Im taking Linkedn over that

[grizzled bough]

Why would the timeframe matter

[ebon wing]

No shot it’s 10

[lyric cypress]

its listed as 6

[twilit hinge]

bruh whats even goin on around here

[lyric cypress]

yap

[empty wing]

neu finance convo

[grizzled bough]

Everyone on WSO defers to peak frameworks so I’m using that

[twilit hinge]

huh

[languid moon]

iu kelley vs neu

[lyric cypress]

cuz its not in 1 years its over like 15

[grizzled bough]

Why would a larger sample size be worse

[lyric cypress]

its not

he was saying they had 118 top ib hires last year

no those 118 are spread over the last 15 years

again peak frameworks understates numbers

[grizzled bough]

Top IB probably means something different to them

[ebon wing]

NEU is not top tier school like your making it out to be

[lyric cypress]

the thing is I think it says 118 total and 30 to top IB

[lyric cypress]

im not making it out to be one

Im legit stating stats

its very overrated

[grizzled bough]

What was the question

[lyric cypress]

like I think for IB co-ops alone its worth

people only do IB as a resume builder anyway

[empty wing]

it was like the rep of neu

[lyric cypress]

no one tryna do that long term

[grizzled bough]

What do they mean end up in either in the comment

[languid moon]

where will you commit to

[empty wing]

nah it was someone asking whats the reputation of neu since he got admitted

[grizzled bough]

OSU bc full tution covered or IU

[lyric cypress]

thats valid

if I got OSU full ride i wouldve gone too

[grizzled bough]

Not a full ride I have to pay for housing and food

[lyric cypress]

Its just there was no where that id pay that low

[lyric cypress]

yea but still

pretty close

[empty wing]

if i pay neu 10k a yr ill be fine

[grizzled bough]

What’s the max amount of debt neu is worth if you’re going into finance

[lyric cypress]

My lowest pay school id consider is IU and for me its like 45k a year

[empty wing]

IU is 45k a year?

[lyric cypress]

nah my cost

[grizzled bough]

Sticker is around 55

[lyric cypress]

like after 529 and shit

[empty wing]

[languid moon]

[lyric cypress]

great school

[ebon wing]

They put me on the fucking waitlist

[lyric cypress]

I dont like it tho and I doubt id get in

[grizzled bough]

UW is cool and better than NEU in state imo

[empty wing]

my in state is uiowa and we got a program where they place 20 kids to IB every year

[empty wing]

🧢

[lyric cypress]

Uw is a better school

[languid moon]

uw dorms are nice

[lyric cypress]

but not for my major

also I dont like it

[grizzled bough]

Ehhh

[languid moon]

uw cs is great

[empty wing]

wait which UW are we talking about

washington or madison

[grizzled bough]

Look at poets and quants

[lyric cypress]

the school would be free and im still not going

[lyric cypress]

its 3 spots lower than NEU

[languid moon]

udub i think

[lyric cypress]

yeah washington

[grizzled bough]

How did you memorize that

[twilit hinge]

udub for cs is cracked

[lyric cypress]

insanly good

[empty wing]

oh yeah udub cs is goated

[grizzled bough]

wtf 🤣

[twilit hinge]

but to get in oos its 2% acceptance rate

so I didnt bother applying there lmfao

[lyric cypress]

I spend 10 hours a day on poets and quants

a have a few friends who got in

its still like 20 in state

its wild

[languid moon]

you want to be a quant ?

[grizzled bough]

UW and NEU are on the relative same tier business wise

[lyric cypress]

nah

yea

But again I dont like Seattle and I want to leave

ive lived there my whole life

I was litteraly born there

[grizzled bough]

Seattle is great

[ebon wing]

Cap

[lyric cypress]

at UW campus

[lyric cypress]

theya re

they are

like look at a ranking

[lyric cypress]

I love it to an extent but I have to ability to go elsewhere and im going to take the oppurtunity

[grizzled bough]

https://tenor.com/view/get-well-soon-feel-better-gif-2703394265953594604

[twilit hinge]

dont rely on rankings too much

[lyric cypress]

like if cost is any issue at all dont go out of state or go to the cheapest option but for me I can pay and and want too

[twilit hinge]

focus more on the program itself and the network opportunities they provide

[lyric cypress]

agreed they are dumb

[languid moon]

you get to go to london 🙂

[lyric cypress]

very fun

[grizzled bough]

• p & q fiend

[lyric cypress]

Yes

I am

but overall rankings are dumb

They are made to fuck with students heads

[grizzled bough]

Is NEU worth 100k in debt

[languid moon]

asu or state school for free

[twilit hinge]

https://tenor.com/view/dog-hell-nah-hell-naw-button-gif-658894236480786400

[lyric cypress]

Damn that scuks

[empty wing]

oh uga

[languid moon]

i didnt apply there

[empty wing]

uga is hard to get in tho

[lyric cypress]

Why

UGA is very hard

[languid moon]

[empty wing]

[lyric cypress]

I couldnt apply I didnt meet the qualifications

[languid moon]

yeah

[grizzled bough]

[grizzled bough]

Lmao

[languid moon]

gsu or augusta uni

[languid moon]

cs

[lyric cypress]

I didnt have the stats for UGA and I got into NEU

[grizzled bough]

Georgie state has some great programs

[languid moon]

test optional

[empty wing]

oh

[empty wing]

oh they require sat

[lyric cypress]

stats are sooo irrlevent tho

[languid moon]

uga isnt test optional

[languid moon]

idk

asu is a target for cs right ?

[empty wing]

if i get off rice waitlist ill go to rice over neu ngl

[lyric cypress]

oh def

much beter school

[lyric cypress]

is there cs targets

ASU is good for cs tho yes

[grizzled bough]

I know companies come to recruit there yes

[empty wing]

they like the same tier for IB placements ngl

[grizzled bough]

But how much does asu cost

[lyric cypress]

Rice wipes NEU as a school tho

[languid moon]

i have no idea

[empty wing]

rice would be cheaper for me tho

[lyric cypress]

mfs talking bout IB placements go to BYU then

[languid moon]

i haven’t gotten my fafsa aid yet

[lyric cypress]

shit is T15 for IB

and like 2 k

[empty wing]

lmao i was gonna apply there

[grizzled bough]

I should’ve applied to BYU I’m legit so stupid

Would’ve been the first POC on campus

[empty wing]

i thought it was too good to be true cause their acceptance rate is super high but they somehow place well for IB

[languid moon]

its either asu, state school, neu waitlist(if i get off), or gatech pathway offer

[grizzled bough]

Ngl neu gives shit aid

Atleast for me

[empty wing]

GG

how much u have to pay

[lyric cypress]

horrible

[kind fable]

my friend barely got anything and couldn’t go

[languid moon]

what was their sai ?

[empty wing]

i thought they met 100% demonstrated need

[kind fable]

like 76k AFTER aid

[lyric cypress]

Like after 529 like 74k ish

I think

little less first year

[grizzled bough]

Good decision

[languid moon]

same

[empty wing]

well my fam income is like 35k yr but their estimator wants me to pay 40k a year

hopefully the calculator is wrong

[grizzled bough]

Not feasible

[kind fable]

[grizzled bough]

At all

[lyric cypress]

bruh what thats impossible

appeal that

[grizzled bough]

Major

?

[empty wing]

it was the calculator i havent gotten my aid yet

[kind fable]

i actually do not know

[lyric cypress]

what

[grizzled bough]

L friend

[lyric cypress]

it came with ur acceptance

[empty wing]

the college board net price calculator

[languid moon]

fasfa is fucked up

[languid moon]

no fafsa is delayed

[lyric cypress]

No but NEU aid

[empty wing]

nah i didnt submit a document and am waiting since feb

[languid moon]

maybe css profile aid ??

[lyric cypress]

CSS

My fafsa came back

I get nun

[empty wing]

i would get 7.3k for fafsa but my fafsa needs to have corrections

[lyric cypress]

5500 unsubsized loan thats it

[grizzled bough]

I think that’s the default

[lyric cypress]

yea it is

[languid moon]

-1500 sai ?

[lyric cypress]

cuz I dont qualify for anything

[empty wing]

it didnt calculate my sai but i should have 0 sai

[languid moon]

0 ???

[grizzled bough]

I lowkey just want to go to northeastern so I can tell people I go there NGL

[kind fable]

was lying, 58k still terrible

[empty wing]

more consulting presence anyways so just go

[languid moon]

i thought your family made 35k a yr

shouldnt it be -1500 sai

[grizzled bough]

No bru I can’t have 100k in debt

[languid moon]

they need to push back the commitment date

[grizzled bough]

140k*

[languid moon]

we dont get fafsa aid until after the corrections ?

[grizzled bough]

I would be cooked for generations

[empty wing]

whats ur family income

[lyric cypress]

My SAI is like 177543 i aint gettin shit

[grizzled bough]

200k

[lyric cypress]

not generations

but a couple

[lyric cypress]

bro makes more than my family

do u have like siblings in college or sum

[grizzled bough]

Yes

They graduated

[lyric cypress]

ahhh ok

are they not paying for u

ur parents

[grizzled bough]

They can pay 200k

For me

[lyric cypress]

Ok ok

thats good

[grizzled bough]

Not for NEU

[languid moon]

?

[lyric cypress]

I mean u can get creative

[languid moon]

they wont let you go to neu ?

or is neus full pay beyond 200k

[lyric cypress]

My parents dont make 200k a year and they can pay

[grizzled bough]

I mean it makes sense why lmfao

[grizzled bough]

How bro

[empty wing]

u make less than 200k a yr but u gotta pay 45k yr for IU

[lyric cypress]

far beyond

[empty wing]

thats absurd

[languid moon]

wtf

[empty wing]

i feel bad for middle class

[lyric cypress]

bruh its cuz of assets

[empty wing]

how much u got in assets

[lyric cypress]

the fafsa cant comprehend that houses arent a fuckin liquid asset

several million

[grizzled bough]

IU for 50k vs NEU for 85k is kinda wild when u think about it

[lyric cypress]

its not that for me its 45k vs. 75k

[empty wing]

damn bro

[lyric cypress]

but basically the same

[empty wing]

my family got 350k in investments and 300k for our house all paid off

but that 350k is in a rental property

[languid moon]

my family has like 0 assets

[empty wing]

yeah we got like no liquid assets

[lyric cypress]

My family only has assets my mom is retired so most of our income is from rentals

[grizzled bough]

My plan 1 Year At Mid School (OSU) —> Transfer To Target —> Profit

[languid moon]

goodluck

[lyric cypress]

OSU is good bruh (they rejected me)

[empty wing]

isnt transfer more tough

[lyric cypress]

nah easier

way easier

[grizzled bough]

Some schools it isn’t

[empty wing]

damn

[lyric cypress]

UNC and Mich is like such a high transfer rate

like 35 for umich and around 50 at unc

[empty wing]

then i might consider going to state school and then transfer to like cornell or sum

[grizzled bough]

UNC isn’t direct admit

Tho

[lyric cypress]

yeah its rough

[grizzled bough]

Don’t bank on it

Tho

[lyric cypress]

im just gonna go NEU

[grizzled bough]

Did y’all know USC has a 25% acceptance rate for transfers

[lyric cypress]

yea

[grizzled bough]

Which is insane

Like 3x undergrad AR

[empty wing]

yeah but most of them are trojan transfer

[lyric cypress]

Whatever I dont spend on college I keep which is sum to think about

[languid moon]

so you can transfer after one yr

[lyric cypress]

ROI full pay NEU is bad but if I take into account my lil plan its like 5k lower than Indiana which is not significant enough for me to pick bloomington over boston

[empty wing]

neu seems to be accepting so many finance guys this yr

[grizzled bough]

How u know

[empty wing]

i was reading some tiktok comments and ppl were like "neu or this school"

[grizzled bough]

Oh

Lmao

[lyric cypress]

For the record ROI 5 years at IU is 203k and NEU is 198k for me

[empty wing]

im pretty sure i saw like 5 "neu or kelley"

[lyric cypress]

like thats slary for 5 years - total csot

cost

[grizzled bough]

I mean that’s pretty understandable they’re in relatively the same tier

[lyric cypress]

yea

but full pay IU is a better deal

but since ima finnese its chill

[languid moon]

why are all these colleges so fucking expensive,

[grizzled bough]

Yea obv

[lyric cypress]

deadass

[languid moon]

dont they get donations

[lyric cypress]

yes bruh

so many donos

[grizzled bough]

They realize that the ROI of college is extremely valuable

So they’re taking advantage
