[fossil zephyr]

[trim edge]

thats so bullshit

[empty wing]

Idk bro I don’t work for the financial aid office

[maiden fiber]

i’m just conflicted bc i wanted to be super involved on campus with clubs and student orgs but part time job AND commuting is probably not gonna allow me to do clubs and stuff idk it’s hard

[trim edge]

this girl here was saying if you make over 150 you wont get any aid

but she was so wrong

[trim edge]

why is neu your dream

[maiden fiber]

idk ive been living in boston my whole life so i grew up around it

[mystic widget]

rejected from neu and redirected to brown

[maiden fiber]

and i’m not a high achiever so i didnt really consider out of state schools, not like i could afford it anyway

[lyric cypress]

There’s no way they making Travis Scott x neu shit

[maiden fiber]

my dad always speaks highly of neu because a lot of his clients are college students so i grew up with the thought of going to northeastern or bu

[thin magnet]

does early decision to northeastern help much

or is it like mostly athletes

[maiden fiber]

i think i saw somewhere that it’s 39% for ed but idk if its true

i think it def does help esp cus they wanna keep their acceptances low

[thin magnet]

yeah i saw that as well but idk if thats like misleading or smth

[untold shale]

no lol

it was like 30% before

its probably 25% now

def not 39 thats a bit too high

[twilit hinge]

[meager isle]

and got into other schools so maybe they might take a couple from the wl

[languid moon]

from a2c

[fossil zephyr]

ya true

how big is neu class size in comparison to other schools

[twilit hinge]

[untold shale]

its relatively big

[languid moon]

are you nu.in

and if so what country did you pick

[untold shale]

im nuin

im not committed, but if i do commit, i would probably do germany (even tho id rather do italy/france)

i have an aunt in germany so im p sure thats the only one my parents would allow me to go to

[verbal helm]

lol

[grizzled bough]

Where did u commit

[untold shale]

Ok idk why I said that

It’s not easy

But I’d only want to transfer to like stern or any ivy or maybe mich anyways

[frank warren]

I’m at northeastern !

Admitted students day

[languid moon]

ig

[untold shale]

[twilit hinge]

some students even made their own insta gcs for certain locations

[round wyvern]

I can’t find them 😭

if anyone has an Ireland link lmk

[stoic cliff]

Same

R u going to the McKim one tomorrow

That’s what I’m here for

[lyric cypress]

Yeah

[meager isle]

[twilit hinge]

I forgot what ur doing

somethin with health science right?

[meager isle]

yuh

[twilit hinge]

oh I mean u can find someone similar to ur major prob

[round wyvern]

people who got into boston r cracked so maybe they're still deciding?

[simple lantern]

ayy yo

[meager isle]

is there that big of a gap between boston and other location admits 😭

still can’t find a roommate 😔

[simple lantern]

not rlly

I mean mayube culturally

but nothing else tbh

[trail cave]

What major?

[twilit hinge]

yea people still are

I managed to find one tho so thats kinda relieveing

[untold shale]

Ohhhg its mckim tmrw that’s why im there tmrw and others today

[twilit hinge]

[stoic cliff]

[trail cave]

Potentially

[meager isle]

[meager isle]

😔

[twilit hinge]

[trim edge]

lets make our own insta gc

[maiden fiber]

why need insta when u have discord

[trim edge]

been using discord tm

[round wyvern]

just realized i never finished my css profile

does it matter if im not applying for aid

[grizzled bough]

no

[plush fern]

can anyone accepted & committed to northeastern pm me if they're down to read my sups for this fall application season at some point in the next few months (once my app is done and all lol)

[fossil zephyr]

There is no supps for northeastern

[round wyvern]

no supps

[trail cave]

Committed woop woop!

[vernal fern]

congrats !!

[trim edge]

congrats!

[untold shale]

it would not be wise to have already written supplementals (unless that supplemental covers a broad range of things that can be used for many prompts, like I did) since colleges tend to change their essay topics sometimes yearly or every few years

[untold shale]

congrats!

im not committed but i came here today for the 3rd time and absolutely loved it

[lyric cypress]

Came today and loved it congrats

[untold shale]

turkey clubs rock

[lyric cypress]

Ong

[charred mulch]

congrats!

welcome to neu 👀

[charred mulch]

theres no supps

so make sure u got solid common app essay

also if ur tryna apply to neu

demonstrated interest matters

so be sure to do that

which can be stuff like:

• emailing AOs with questions
• visiting campus if possible
• clicking on links in the emails they send you/replying to them if applicable
• if they visit ur hs for an info session def go to that

[trim edge]

does it really?

i got in ea without doing any of that

[charred mulch]

im not saying you cant get in without it

but itll help a bit

[maiden fiber]

ed really helps

[acoustic sentinel]

demonstrated interest doesn't really matter

i visited like 2 years ago

[round wyvern]

I didn’t demonstrate interest but I did Ed

[cold cliff]

I think EC's matter a lot too

I didn't demonstrate interest, and my GPA was mediocre (freshman gpa was 3.0 but all other years were well above 4.0W/ 3.75UW), but my test scores and EC's were both rly strong

[somber abyss]

i think i had average ECs 1570 SAT 3.78 GPA, but a good common app

[maiden fiber]

demonstrated interest def does help, an admissions officer visited my school and said if we signed a form thing through a link it shows that we attended the meeting and when they look up our name in the system they’ll see that u participated

[empty wing]

Tbh im worried I won’t have enough clubs and leadership positions if I do Oakland for 1 year

Like if I join clubs and participate activities in Oakland for a year what would happen when I transition to Boston

[simple lantern]

you are my sunshine my only sunshine you make me happy...

@empty wing

[twilit hinge]

[dull owl]

sure, you may be behind in terms of when you joined but don't worry, clubs/teams showcase at the start of the sem and you can easily join/be very involved early on

[quaint geyser]

[dull owl]

yayyy congrats 🥹 so proud of you ❤️🎉

[twilit hinge]

YEEEEE

POV: northeastern students after daddy JT bricks a layup

[trim edge]

heard bostons notoriously racist

[maiden fiber]

ehhh

feel like not rlly

[trim edge]

i just saw like what people say after the celtics lose

[maiden fiber]

boston twitter comments can be insanely racist 😭

but i feel like those r the really white coneervative boomers

[trim edge]

fr

im trynna step to a celtics game too

[vernal fern]

just went to one after visiting neu

the people and staff were really nice despite me being a warriors fan

i went to the recent thunder vs celtics game

[empty wing]

Lol nba Twitter calls Celtics celtikkks

[lyric cypress]

I’m ngl it’s extremely racist the cops and Celtics fans especially

Like the people in general aren’t

They were super nice at northeastern but general people in Boston are kinda assholes buts like that’s just a city thing

[maiden fiber]

i would argue that most bostonians are actually nice as someone whos lived here their whole life 😞

cant talk on celtics fans tho im not involved in sports much

and this is coming from a poc living in one of the most dangerous and low income neighborhoods in boston

[trim edge]

have you made your decision yet?

[maiden fiber]

yea i committed

i actually got a full ride apparently

[trim edge]

northeastern?

[maiden fiber]

yes

[trim edge]

holy shit

so happy for you

thats awesome

[trim edge]

howd you get a full ride now?

[maiden fiber]

i thought the direct cost was after the fin aid (its not) but they matched my fin aid to the direct cost so they cover my whole year

i misread my letter and i called admissions and they cleared up the confusion

[trim edge]

🙏🏽

thats so good

[maiden fiber]

yess

[charred mulch]

damn thats insane

congrats!

[maiden fiber]

thank you!!!

[grizzled bough]

I’m jealous

[uneven flint]

Anyone who got in global scholars program know which campus you guys start first

I was wondering if I am notifed lately\

[lyric cypress]

It’s later you find out

They split it half and half

It depends on age too

[lyric cypress]

Like if ur under 18 when the semester starts you have to start in Oakland cuz u can’t study abroad under 18 in the uk

[sweet ledge]

hi are we required to send our AP test scores for our senior year? i just committed to neu and i dont think ill be able to pass my ap exams 💀

[empty wing]

@trim edge got any questions for the oakland campus?

[trim edge]

Ask about how to get the single dorms with private bathrooms

[empty wing]

ok

[empty wing]

Have u visited the Oakland campus yet

[untold shale]

Ap scores dont matter, i never even submitted any score for ADMISSION so why would they care for them now

[sweet ledge]

[trim edge]

[empty wing]

Any more specific questions for Oakland?

[twilit hinge]

u are not required at all

I thnk imma get 2 on my stat exam I got no clue what im doin but yea its not gonna affect ur admission

[trim edge]

Ask them about how the gyms are, and what kind of recreation they got like soccer games etc

[round wyvern]

[fossil zephyr]

[twilit hinge]

[untold shale]

i mean actually u can lol

do the waitlist and put greece as 1

and they will offer u it

[round wyvern]

i did that already

but like

okay so

greece is the better like

sightseeing and experiences

but ireland has the better living situation and afaik the better school

my mom is pushing for greece and my dad pushing for irelnad

so idk what i want anymore

i can just visit greece

and its not like the college is in athens

or something

[sweet ledge]

no idea what that is

slept through my entire senior year

[untold shale]

living situation is VERY IMPORTANT when youre in a foreign country for several months lol

in germany, my dorm is literally in the college (0 travel time to classes)

so im v grateful for that

but in france for example, its 45 minute walk, so hell nah

[round wyvern]

yeah greece is 20-30 min drive

dublin is on campus

[untold shale]

DRIVE?????

BRO DRIVE?

NAH

fuck that

how are u even gonna drive

[round wyvern]

Campus: The ACT campus is a 20-30 minute drive up from the hotels. The campus is one part of the larger 80-acre Anatolia campus. It is located in the Pylaia neighborhood of Thessaloniki with some cafes, shops, and access to local bus routes.

thats a good point

[untold shale]

💀

[untold shale]

absolutely not worth it

[round wyvern]

when i do wiatlist

[untold shale]

bro and u cant even drive 💀

[round wyvern]

they wont force me to accept it right

[untold shale]

no

[round wyvern]

okay

[untold shale]

they will give yout he optuion

to transfer to it

i put italy for shits and giggles

[round wyvern]

i see

I acknowledge that, if a spot becomes available, I may be given but am not guaranteed an opportunity to switch my N.U.in site to one of the sites selected above.

[untold shale]

ireland is on campus

[round wyvern]

okay got it

[untold shale]

precisely

[round wyvern]

greece is hotel food

dublin is cooking which i know how to do

[untold shale]

if u can cook thats good

but uhm

i cant cook for shit so

[round wyvern]

greek is the predominant language in greece but dublin is english

[untold shale]

💀😭

[round wyvern]

yeah i can cook im very picky so i cook when i cant eat what my mom makes

sensory issues

[untold shale]

ur just giving me more reasons why you should stay in dublin

[round wyvern]

yeah

ur right

i sent an email asking what circumstances would allow for a change

but didnt ask to change

[untold shale]

i wouldnt even worry about it

it wont make a difference i promise

actually, dublin would be more comfy for you based on what you described

and also, you can travel throughout europe regardless

and its 4 months, not 4 years

you will be with NEU students in NEU classes with NEU advisors no matter what location, and also i heard nu-in students travel to the other locations

so u will prob be in greece at some point anyways

[round wyvern]

true

thanks

this was helpful

[empty wing]

theres 3 gyms and they got tons of club sports

@trim edge also dorms are random and theres no private bathrooms

u may get a single but the bathrooms are still shared

[trim edge]

Website said there are private bathrooms for certain dorms

[empty wing]

oh idk then

he said theres no private bathrooms

and hes also the tour guide for the oakland campus

[trim edge]

Damn

The website

Reinhardt

And ege hall

Said they had private bathrooms

That kinda blows

[languid moon]

maybe its shared bathroom between only 2-3 people

thats not bad

vs it being like the whole hall

[trim edge]

yeh not bad

[trim edge]

so we dont get to pick our dorm?

i wana get suite stylr

[empty wing]

Nope all random

[trim edge]

Wow

That sucks

Then why’s there different prices for different dorms

[upbeat lantern]

NU.in GREECE:

SCHOOL: Every morning and afternoon at different times (this changes depending on the majority of class time starts for the students that semester), there's 6 coach buses that take you to/from campus. Uber is extremely cheap (10 bucks) so if you want to go home earlier you can as well. The Anatolia campus is GORGEOUS, in the hills and you can see the entirety of Thessaloniki. The professors are also great and genuinely feel like your friends by the end of it (i literally took shots with one of my professors at the club)

LIVING: You are living in one of three hotels - Queen Olga, The Metropolitan, or <one other I forgot the name>. Olga and Met are located next to each other, while the other is located in the heart of Downtown (Aristotelous Square) where all the shops/city life/clubs are located. The buses drop you either directly at the hotels, or sometimes at the boardwalk so you just cross the street and you're home. Every hotel serves breakfast and dinner and the menu changes daily, but if you don't like the food, you can go out for dinner or order delivery and it's still extremely cheap. Predominant language may be Greek but EVERYONE knows English fluently so you will have no problem communicating.

MISC: Gyms are about a 5 minute walk from the hotels, lots of extracurricular clubs/sports you can join on campus, drycleaners at Kristos' is 8 euros, and he sorts/folds everything for you when you come to pick it up (only takes a day). There's always events happening on the boardwalk (concerts, markets, busking, etc), even had RedBull come up one time and have an entire showcase, brought out their F1 chassis and drove that up and down the boardwalk as well. If you're the type to party, clubs/drinking is easily accessible (legal age to drink is 16 and clubs are also fine to enter as long as you reserve ahead), just don't have an attitude with the bouncers because they WILL remember you lol.

[dull owl]

cont. You spend a long weekend in Athens + Delphi, and the views are INSANE. One of the prettiest places I've been to, it's like Switzerland with all the hills, mountains, and valleys, just without the snow. The NU.in Greece coordinators also set up events daily/weekly where along with your family group dinners, they set up outings such as beach days, canyoning, scuba diving, hiking (MT. Olympus), visits to different cities, food outings/tours, etc.

[round wyvern]

i can’t really change once I’ve committed oops

im already on Greece waitlist

[coral python]

i literally based the past 2 months thinking i was going to neu just to not enroll

like i was planning for prague

lowkey sad i won't get to go to europe first semester anymore but at the same time like 4 of my friends r going to neu so catch me back in boston

[languid moon]

did you get rejected?

[dull owl]

just wanted to provide some info for anyone else who wanted it as well ❣️

[round wyvern]

ah ok then thanks for writing so much it'll be def useful to ppl here

[trim edge]

@empty wing

yo i looked into some housing options at oakland

[languid moon]

how nice is it

[trim edge]

depends

im trynna secure a two person suite

me and dk could be tuff

[languid moon]

wait

arent you a girl

and he is a boy, do they allow gender mixed suites ?

[trim edge]

bro no 😭

im a guy

[languid moon]

ohh

my bad

[grizzled bough]

Wait they do?

[languid moon]

i was asking

i don’t know if they do

[grizzled bough]

Damn

That would b lit

[trim edge]

nah dont think they do

[empty wing]

🔥

[dull owl]

they have all gender housing but idk how it works yet

[untold shale]

Broo all my homies be in Oakland I swear 😭

Wait @empty wing so u are going??

[empty wing]

like 90%

denison didnt give me more aid

questbridge school for what

[lyric cypress]

bro pu oakland

[untold shale]

Fs just not while I’m in Germany 💀

[verbal helm]

same, i got into boston tho

however, i'd recommend connecting with the admissions officer bc neu still counts demonstrated interest

[untold shale]

I visited sophomore year and junior year

Sophomore year my moms co worker happened to recommend visiting while we were in Boston cus he went there and loved it, and junior year we have a Boston schools trip

Maybe that helped

[novel bolt]

applying ea/ed are the best ways to demonstrate interest

[untold shale]

I did RD

Bro I’m actually pissed

[novel bolt]

why

[untold shale]

The one person in my school who I was sure is actually going to NEU isn’t

He told me he’s 100% going like a few days ago

[novel bolt]

i mean it’s a massive school

[untold shale]

I think I might be the only one

Hella ppl rejected neu this yewr

2 rejected neu for Cornell, one for Penn state, one for Adelphi

Idk abt the rest

[novel bolt]

they need to hella up their financial aid

[untold shale]

Wait wtf

Nah this guy was trolling hold up

He told me he’s going to neu for finance

[novel bolt]

i got $10k/year scholarship and it’s still abt $77k per year

[untold shale]

But he’s going to Adelphi for biology

10k is rlly good for neu

Cus they barely give aid

5% of the 5% get it

😂

I mean

[novel bolt]

it’s still more than twice what i can afford

[untold shale]

Scholarship

Damn

Ur not going?

[novel bolt]

nah

usc is my first choice rn

as long as they come thru w the financial aid

if not it’s off to penn state and then i’ll definitely go to grad school just bc

[untold shale]

Ohhhh right you told me

[untold shale]

Someone in my class did the same thing

Penn state instead of neu

[languid moon]

wow

penn state over neu ??

why

[languid moon]

okay so maybe i have a chance on the wl

[languid moon]

is it money issues

[untold shale]

Maybe

[untold shale]

Honestly no idea

Maybe it’s cheaper?

But it’s oos…

[languid moon]

i thought penn state was a public school

it doesnt have good aid

just merit aid maybe

[untold shale]

It is public

[languid moon]

neu had css profile

for need based aid

[untold shale]

I ain’t get nada tho

Loool

[languid moon]

so wouldnt make sense unless they dont like neu

[languid moon]

need based aid based on income ofc

[untold shale]

Ye

Even tho parents divorced

[languid moon]

maybe penn is cheaper

[untold shale]

So likeeee

Maybe

[languid moon]

what is the best thing about the neu campus

[untold shale]

Like the campus itself?

Their study halls are magnificent

And a lot of food options

And it’s literally in Boston (feels like nyc when u step out a little bit)

[languid moon]

did you get to see the freshman dorms in person?

[untold shale]

No

I’m nuin so I’m p sure we get priority ish housing when we are back for January

[grizzled bough]

Hi

[languid moon]

hey?

[grizzled bough]

Did everyone commit

In here

[languid moon]

no i didnt get accepted

[grizzled bough]

Oh

Do you want me to decline my offer

If ur on the waitlist

[languid moon]

yes

if you arent going to be attending neu

[grizzled bough]

Ok $5

[languid moon]

it would be smart

wait people are holding wl spots for ransom ?

[grizzled bough]

Lmao

I’m in that finance major mindset

[languid moon]

so you are going to osu ?

[grizzled bough]

May be

It depends

NEU has more lay prestige

But OSU has better placement I think

[dawn sierra]

neu prestige doesn’t exist

[grizzled bough]

Who let juniors in here

[languid moon]

i think the advantage of getting a job right out of college that pays better than most jobs because of the co-op program is enough for me

and the experience even if you dont get a job right out of college

puts you at an advantage

[trim edge]

how bad is their fin aid?

mine was insanely generous

[trim edge]

neu def got better placement

whats your major?

[languid moon]

neu is t53 us rankings

t27 tied with nyu for cs

[grizzled bough]

Finance

[grizzled bough]

Not true

Both are non-targets

[trim edge]

co ops

location

[dawn sierra]

i’m a super junior

i’m like 24 so it cancels out

[novel bolt]

state school

and they also have one of the best programs in the country for my major

and they only take five people a year so🙇🏻

[novel bolt]

i didn’t get anything lol

but tbf i had a massive mistake on my css profile so i should probably call them to make sure they received my corrections

i’m definitely not going to neu bc i’d have to go to grad school since their program is a b.a. instead of a b.f.a. like usc and penn state

but i want to try to leverage as much as i can

[languid moon]

what is your major

penn state is pretty good as well

[fossil zephyr]

Wth I thought it was higher tbh

What was it last year

[languid moon]

i think t25

[sick scarab]

yall i have a question abt the housing requirement, so i was admitted to the honors program, and on the honors program contract, it says that I need to live in honors housing residence, but i was wanting to fill out a residency waiver to wiave the requirement, do you guys think theres no point in filling out the waiver? Is the requirement non negotiable?

i emailed them abt this, have yet to heard a response

so i was wondering if anyone else knew

[trim edge]

you dont want the honors dorm?

[trim edge]

whats a b fa

[sick scarab]

no i was wondering if I could commute

if i have to dorm

then ofc ill take the honors dorm

[trim edge]

ive a friend in honors if you might want to get in touch for a roomate

[trim edge]

i thnik freshmen are required to dorm?

not ssure

[sick scarab]

ik theres a waiver, and ik ppl who have filled it out before and waived the requiremtn, but none of them were in honors, the contract seems rlly strict

[trim edge]

try your luck then

no harm in trying

[sick scarab]

i emailed them asking a for a waiver if it was possible, so hopefully i get the anser soon lol

and then ill try to waive

thanks for the input

[novel bolt]

stage management!! i’m planning on majoring in compsci as well so i was admitted to neu as a computer science + theatre major

[novel bolt]

bachelor of fine arts

or big fat ass

depending on who you ask

it’s a conservatory/professional degree (abt 80% degree-specific courses, 20% general education courses instead of the normal 50/50 or 60/40 split) so you can work immediately after getting your bachelor’s

[languid moon]

why did the AR drop to 7%

kinda bizarree, same AR as cornell

but not on the same level

[novel bolt]

why wouldn’t it be the same level as cornell lol

acceptance rates are so arbitrary now that a couple percent hardly makes a difference for highly selective schools

[languid moon]

?

you think its on the same level as cornell ?

[novel bolt]

why wouldn’t it be

literally the only thing different abt cornell is that it’s in the ivy league

[languid moon]

because i think cornell is more prestigious, not hating on neu

maybe better programs as well but idk cornell well

[novel bolt]

they’re two very different school too lol

cornell’s biggest thing for undergrads is the school of hotel management

in the end it really depends on the individual program/person

neu is much more prestigious on surface level than penn state is

but penn state only takes five people a year for my program

i think acceptance rates are kind of arbitrary atp

[languid moon]

im just surprised it 13 to 7%

i should have applied to ivy leagues

if i knew like half of my schools i applied to would drop so much

[novel bolt]

i applied to four ivies + barnard just bc i knew i’d regret it if i didn’t

it was a bloodbath

[languid moon]

i applied to most reaches no ivies though

rejected from all, but like i wish i still applied to ivies

like brown, i rlly like brown

maybe will try to transfer to ivies, if the wl doesn’t work out for me

@ebon wing

[ebon wing]

What??

[languid moon]

why did you add me ?

[ebon wing]

Oh my bad I misclicked

Why do this in the public server lmao

[untold shale]

#16 for business on PandQ (which is a lot more reliable for business rankings)

Also high ranked law school if you’re planning to stay for law school

[trim edge]

nah cornell 100% is more prestigious

neu isnt there, but i do think neu is gonna rise

ik they did like slight improvements in certain areas to improve their rankings but that was almost 20 years ago

and now theyre accepting more competitive classes so they have a stronger undergraduate students

[novel bolt]

okay but genuinely what constitutes prestige in this situation

like how is one school more prestigious than another when they both have similar acceptance rates and rankings and were founded around the same time as each other

[languid moon]

i am sure cornell has better programs overall

[novel bolt]

right but where does that come from lol

like what is the line of reasoning if that makes sense

[languid moon]

history of the school

[rain ore]

lmao neu's acceptance rate is so fake

or like its real but they game the system to make it that low

they have hella apps but basically accept everyone ed, thus making AR low

[novel bolt]

that’s not how it works lol

the majority of schools with ed have a significantly high acceptance rate for early decision as opposed to rd

that doesn’t change their overall acceptance rate

[rain ore]

i think neu is like 38% ed but averaged out with rd its like 7 overall

[languid moon]

i think the neu hate is overblown

[novel bolt]

that’s pretty low for ed lmfao

and in the end it doesn’t change the acceptance rate at all

[rain ore]

oh yeah ur right, it wouldnt change overall AR

they just care a lot abt yield

lol

wouldnt say 38 is low tho depends on the school

[novel bolt]

and since northeastern considers demonstrated interest ed is more important there than cornell, which doesn’t consider demonstrated interest

[rain ore]

yeah they care a lot abt yield

[untold shale]

I heard it changed to 20-25% ish this year

Which is absolutely insane cus that’s like some ED ARs for some top top schools

[empty wing]

I rather have experience in my resume than go to a non target and have none

[grizzled bough]

both are non targets and you can still get internships at either

[empty wing]

True but for neu it would be easier plus they have co ops with J.P. Morgan, Morgan Stanley, BCG, LEK, Deloitte, PWC, etc

I’m more into consulting so I’m tryna get BCG and Deloitte co ops

Will look rlly good in my resume

[grizzled bough]

Those are insanely competitive

In my situation not worth paying the extra bread for but it’s up to you

[empty wing]

OSU would be more expensive

Well for me atleast cause I’m low income

[round wyvern]

:0

[round wyvern]

def not true i know ppl with decent stats not getting in ed

[round wyvern]

tufts had like 30 something when i checked it

and tufts is considered prestigious so

barnard is 33

[grizzled bough]

the main reason why is that summer analyst programs are where most FT conversions happen, not co ops and neu makes u take classes during that time

[round wyvern]

middlebury is 42%

and middlebury is good

also the table i found said northeastern is 33 not 38 btw

wellesley is also 30

so i'd say some prestigious schools have similar ed acceptance rates

[trim edge]

You’re only@competing with northeastern students for those co ops

So it’s much much much more easier than if you went to osu

[untold shale]

Also co-ops are 6 months full time while ur not in college

Internships are for a few weeks, part time, and juggled with school

You will have lower chances of making connections and keeping that job after you graduate (which happens to a lot of neu students compared to other schools)

Also if they keep you they can pay for mba

[grizzled bough]

summer analysts have a way higher conversion rate than co OP’s

for finance specifically

[untold shale]

Idk about summer analysts, but I do know that co-ops are much more accessible, are longer, and probably pay more

[empty wing]

True

But it’s whatever if I don’t become a management consultant at BCG

I’ll settle with LEK

There’s a huge neu presence for LEK

[thin magnet]

Neu hella overrated might as well go to a diff school for less money

Mofos lowering acceptance rates like they’re ivy leagues

☠️

Like 90k a year for a school not even in t50 ☠️

No hate but neu buns fr

[fossil zephyr]

bro came to hate for no reason

[fossil zephyr]

most people who are paying 90k a year at neu are ones who can afford it soo

[thin magnet]

Not t50 🗿

[fossil zephyr]

https://tenor.com/view/zooming-out-planet-earth-national-space-day-nat-geo-national-geographic-gif-21569628

[untold shale]

I’m paying like 80

Well not rlly

[thin magnet]

Options like ucsb usc in area and Mfs still choose Oakland 😭

[untold shale]

If I get AP credits + cc credits in this summer that’ll be a bit cheaper

Plus I got scholarships from other schools and I’m trynna negotiate with neu abt it rn

[thin magnet]

70k a year still horrid

Even if family income is 400k

[fossil zephyr]

i didnt even apply for fin aid

lol

[thin magnet]

Yeah I’m not applying fin aid to any schools

Maybe state but that’s it

[untold shale]

I have 100k in savings as well

And co ops can pay for a year

If I get the schollys approved that’s a lot cheaper as well

[languid moon]

how much do business co ops pay

[empty wing]

$20/hr

[empty wing]

Nah bros actually loaded wtf

[trim edge]

fr bros rich rich

[empty wing]

Bro’s savings could literally could pay 8 years of my tuition

[trim edge]

hes also full pay i think

[thin magnet]

Bro put that into the s&p 500 and you’ll have 4.8m when you’re 58

Even if you don’t make anymore contributions

[empty wing]

Bad idea

If it’s his college fund he needs it to be liquid so he can use it asap

Put it in a HYSA like Wealthfront

Which earns you 5.5% APY

U will get 5.5k a year or almost $460 a month for just sitting ur money

[trim edge]

bros a real business major

[empty wing]

Also u won’t need to pay capital gains tax if u put it in a HYSA

Ur paying miscellaneous tax

Which u file using form 1099

[trim edge]

kevin what stocks should i buy

you seem like an expert

[empty wing]

Ion know lol I put my money in sp 500 and QQQ

I’m more of a long term investor

[trim edge]

same

i lost so much on amd tho

their stocks been tanking lately

[empty wing]

[languid moon]

yall have money to invest

[empty wing]

Nah I sold my roblox items for BTC 💀

[upbeat lantern]

GYATTTT

holy shit

[trim edge]

i ahvent bought bitcoin in 2 years

im still upsm on it

like almost 100%

[meager isle]

based

but id be paying the same price regardless, as long as its an OOS school lol

[thin magnet]

I got my life savings in Celsius

Used to be up 14k

[thin magnet]

I remember gambling 2$ in robux 2 years ago on one of the sketch sites

[thin magnet]

Tbh If I were him I would have his parents pay in full and then use max $10k per year to live and put 60k into a stock account

I also got some in Amazon

I like Amazon and Celsius

[untold shale]

$25 starting but I heard that the 2nd co-op pays a lot more

[untold shale]

I believe in my ability to already have big moneyz in my 20s

So if I put money in my savings it’ll be then

Wait actually the 100k is already in an account it’s growing annually

[untold shale]

I can sell my Roblox shit for 5k rn prolly

[thin magnet]

Why do you have 5k in a kids game

😭

[lyric cypress]

im going to neu cuz i want to

and BCG is hires tons of kids so does state street

but i wouldnt go if I couldnt afford it

never take out loans for school

[lyric cypress]

Oh how could I forget the insane flexibility it offers

[languid moon]

flexibility ?

[lyric cypress]

Yeah with majors

Combined majors and switching majors is super easy

That’s why I’m choosing it over a school like Indiana

Cuz I’m not set on what I want to do

I’ve changed majors like 20 times already

[sweet ledge]

hi does anyone know how to activate the student email neu gave us?

[trail cave]

They sent you an email close to after you got admitted. You have to use the link there to claim your account. If the link doesn’t work because it’s been 60 since then etc.. contact IT and they will resend one

[trim edge]

shoulda worked since you got in

[untold shale]

brother yk theres a black market for limited edition items, its like csgo

[sweet ledge]

i didn’t receive any links

they only gave me my email address

[trim edge]

hm

id cal it

[trail cave]

Call the NEU IT help center. Much better than emailing

[untold shale]

is it normal that i didnt get my fafsa yet?

im worried that i fucked smthng up or didnt send to neu

[trail cave]

Same but NEU has to process a lot. I'm going to give it a week or two probably. I know I'm pell eligible so Im just waiting 🙏

[untold shale]

ah good luck

is it normal that my sai is like a little over 10% of my familys combined income

even tho theyre divorced
