#

💀

untold shale
#

yield rate

#

insane

trim edge
#

is that good or bad

languid moon
#

bad

#

thats crazy

lyric cypress
languid moon
#

wouldn’t that be bad for us

#

?

lyric cypress
#

Oh yea I’m talking about as a school in general it’s a crazy high yield rate

novel bolt
#

73% of all of the students that are admitted to northeastern end up going thwre

languid moon
#

oh

#

that’s unfortunate

#

for me

trim edge
#

youll be fine

#

you got transfer

ebon wing
languid moon
#

yeah

languid moon
#

:/

trim edge
#

do ce then

#

or do math and learn to code on your own

languid moon
#

compE

trim edge
#

ye

ebon wing
languid moon
#

i mean its up to the AOs

trim edge
#

@charred mulch

#

i was looking at the requirements for the cs and math combnied major and i saw the general elective requirements

#

are we allowed to take cs electives to fulfill this?

charred mulch
#

might be wrong but im pretty sure you can

#

as long as its not already a requirement for your major

trim edge
#

that sounds good

#

i was worried that i wouldnt havbe much cs coursework if i took the combined major

#

and i had to do 30 hours of non major related electvies

charred mulch
#

if you have ap credit a lot of those credits can be fulfilled

#

or dual enrollment for that matter

#

unfortunately ap credits have a 32 credit limit
anything past that can still count for any requirements it fulfills
but wont count towards the total number of credits for graduation or the total number of elective credits

charred mulch
trim edge
#

Wait ap phys c doesn’t count for the science requirement?

#

Only a general elective?

novel bolt
#

that’s what it’s like at a lot of schools

trim edge
#

Ig not

#

I think my physics should count for both phys 1 and 2 for engineers

round wyvern
#

alr guys which is the best type of engineering

trim edge
#

I just need to get it evaluated

novel bolt
round wyvern
#

i like chem e but don’t want to live in middle of nowhere

trim edge
round wyvern
#

what’s the differences between chemical and electrical

#

pay wise opportunity wise and coop wise

#

also interest wise

trim edge
#

Its phys 1 for engineers

charred mulch
#

im just already fulfilling science requirement with ap chem and bc calc (the calc 2 part)

trim edge
#

I see

charred mulch
trim edge
#

Do yk when I can get my courses evaluated?

charred mulch
#

as in aps?

trim edge
#

Nah des

#

I only have one ap class

charred mulch
#

hmm i would say to send transcript to neu as soon as u can

#

not sure what the earliest date is

trim edge
#

I read the matriculated students only have up till one semester to get these credits

charred mulch
#

but the weird thing is you dont get assigned an advisor until around the time classes start

#

yeah if you have DE send over the summer so that its there by the fall

trim edge
#

Also, I read at the max amount of accepted. Credits is 60.

charred mulch
#

yeah

trim edge
#

But I also read that any additional credit will still be accepted, but it won’t count towards the degree

#

Do you know if this is true?

charred mulch
#

yeah

#

itll count towards requirements

#

but not towards total graduation credits

trim edge
#

Wait whatt

#

I thought it was the other way around

cold cliff
#

I got in for CS+scholarship with comparably low stats so perhaps I could give some two cents?

languid moon
#

?

#

i got waitlisted

#

i was talking about a ga tech transfer

#

got rejected cs but offered a transfer for CompE

cold cliff
#

Ohhh nvm

#

Waitlisted from NEU but second transfer for ga tech??

#

Ru instate?

languid moon
#

yeah for ga tech

cold cliff
#

ohh makes sense then

#

congrats tho thats insane

#

deferred and rejected from ga tech 🥴

languid moon
#

idk if everyone insate gets the pathway offer

#

probably

trail cave
trim edge
#

It should show up in your rejection

languid moon
#

yeah it did

trim edge
#

Yeah then you’re fine

charred mulch
#

the yield rate def isnt that high

#

youll be fine

#

mine is like 30% lmao (im paying less than that thanks to scholarships)

untold shale
#

Search it up anywhere it’s true

#

But 45k SAI

#

mad confusing

empty wing
grizzled bough
untold shale
#

Other sites says 72 percent

#

72 makes more sense cus they take a larger amount Ed

empty wing
#

no..

#

32% sounds more accurate

#

boston u is 27%

#

vanderbilt 45%'

languid moon
#

yeah 32 might make sense

#

because if you got into neu you probably got into another better school

@languid moon

charred mulch
#

Could have something to do with divorced parents

novel bolt
#

my sai is 33% of my parents income pre-tax

novel bolt
#

it’s in their common data set lol

ebon wing
#

If you did a internship will NEU give you credit for it

novel bolt
#

wdym

novel bolt
ebon wing
#

Like I’m doing a summer business internship in the summer in management consulting and they said they give credit but want to know how worth it is to try to get credit

novel bolt
#

college credit?

ebon wing
#

They said it’s like 15 credits

novel bolt
#

who did

#

the people running the internship or northeastern

ebon wing
#

The group I’m working for

novel bolt
#

because 15 credits is about an entire semester

#

and what are the credits for

#

because they’d have to be accredited

#

and if they are actual credits they’re probably electives

#

it’s a question you’d have to ask northeastern after you figure out the specifics

ebon wing
#

Idk it’s a business course taught by college professors with an internship built in

#

With many of the sub courses being full length business courses at major universities but it’s really condensed

ebon wing
novel bolt
#

especially because schools have to audit courses to make sure they’ll transfer

ebon wing
#

Someone who did the course said University of Oregon would not take it when they tried last year who I know

#

But at the same time Yale accepted them

#

So it probably is just if it fits the curriculum of the school

trim edge
#

Are they beginning to take people off the waitlist?

languid moon
#

yeah

trim edge
#

bro am i cooked

#

i still didnt put my deposit down

#

im not trynnna lose my spot

novel bolt
#

you’re not going to lose your spot as long as you do it by the commitment deadline lmfao

#

that’s how commitment dates work

#

they take people off the waitlist when accepted people decline their offer of admission

round wyvern
#

which is the best places to get northeastern merch

novel bolt
round wyvern
#

Is the official acronym for northeastern NU or NEU

#

I know here we call it neu but idk what it is there

round wyvern
#

wondering whether to get nu or neu on a sweatshirt

#

something like this

image0.jpg
#

is it weird to get custom college merch if all the official ones are ugly

charred mulch
charred mulch

quaint geyser

i did some coding back when i dev for roblox games

trim edge
#

one of my friends is doing the cs ba wit finanance

#

you dont liek codnig?

empty wing
#

no

#

i find it stressful

trim edge
#

gotcuh

#

i think cs is def the best major at neu with the co ops

#

especially since we're gonna be in oakland first year

empty wing
#

ya

quaint geyser
#

hoosky is run by current students

empty wing
trim edge
#

wind crown
trim edge
#

awesome

sick scarab
#

yall this is a question for myt friend

#

so hes been accepted to northeastern but worried he'll get a 1 on ap physics 2

#

if he does do you guys know if he will be rescinded cuz of his bad score

maiden fiber
#

nah

sick scarab
#

he has a bunch of other good scores but because you cant choose which scores to individually send, hes worried the colleges will see the 1

#

hypothetically if he sends

sick scarab
#

the part that worries him is like

#

in the terms of admissions it said that like any grade below a C or a national exam will cause northeastern to "revisit their decision"

#

by national exam they dont mean ap right? like a test offered by the government?

maiden fiber
#

u wont get rescinded for ur ap exams

sick scarab
#

ight sick thanks

cold cliff
#

it's ~70% of straight to main campus

#

their other programs that they use to decrease AR (nuin, global/london scholars, etc) have a lower yield and still make up like 50% of the class

#

so total is likely under 40%

novel bolt
#

ik that people have already responded but ap exam scores don’t negatively impact you

#

they can be seen as a positive, but bc of the circumstances of standardized tests they really don’t diminish anything

sick scarab
#

alright thanks, ill be sure to let him know

languid moon
#

is it okay that i wrote my loci as a poem?

ebon wing
#

Yee FS

#

Btw is this school your top choice?

languid moon
#

yes

trim edge

lets goooooooo

#

guys any thoughts about occidental?

#

I'm seriously considering between oxy and neu

lyric cypress
#

for what major

#

imo neu wipes as someone who has a apperciation for liberal arts schools

#

like they cost the same essentially

trim edge
#

i think liberal arts is cool

#

i used to shit on them

#

but theyre acc not that bad

charred mulch
#

small lac or bigger university

lyric cypress
#

yea and cali vs northeast

crude palm
#

I just wanna focus on my education itself

#

my major is env stuides in occidental but not rly sure with that choice

#

education wise

#

which one’s better?

novel bolt
#

it really depends on your perceptions

#

they’re both great

#

but nobody can determine which one is better but you

#

go through the course requirements for your major

trim edge
crude palm
#

oxy gave me 20000 a year

#

not northeastern

trim edge
#

so how much is northeastern

crude palm
#

about 60000 for the tuition

trim edge
#

ooof

#

thats sm

#

for your major

#

prob wont make that much money out of college

#

and idk what kind of co ops youre gonna get

#

unless youre rich id just go with the cheapest

crude palm
#

if I go to neu then I’ll be cs major tho

trim edge
#

oh fs neu then

#

neu cs is really really good

#

lotta professors are mit grads

#

so the education is really good

#

they do a lot of good research

#

this is based off research

crude palm
#

yea I saw the rankings

trim edge
#

can you afford northeastern

crude palm
#

only thing I’m concerned about is the job market itself

#

yeah tuition’s not a matter

trim edge
#

most schools dont have it

#

so youre alr at a disadvantage

#

at northeastern its hard to get a co op but its 100x harder at a diff school

#

id 100% go northeastern if i was in your shoes

crude palm
#

thank you so much

#

u just finished my college decision fr

lyric cypress
#

I honestly may not even enroll

#

I wish i applied to a completely different set of schools

#

Should’ve applied to SLO 😭

cold cliff
#

Neu and cal poly r a whole different league ngl

#

OOS, atleast

lyric cypress
#

My school has a great relationship with them

#

And for business

languid moon
lyric cypress
#

Umm not sure

languid moon
#

lyric cypress
#

Yea

#

I got into 10 schools

languid moon

#

Brandeis, LMU, SMU (Non Cox), TCU, St. Lawerence, ASU, Utah, Washington State

languid moon
#

lyric cypress
#

i hated it personally

#

My dad said SMU or St. Lawrence and then transfer

#

but idk

#

ill prob end up just going with Northeastern

languid moon
#

you can always transfer from neu

#

if you dont like it

lyric cypress
#

yea exactly

#

and I like the school and what it has to offer a ton

#

its just I prefer warmer weather and I just have a gut feeling

cold cliff
#

NEU for CS & Cognitive Psych vs Colby for Comp Eng

#

opinions?

languid moon
#

i mean which one is less expensive

lyric cypress
#

colby a better school but I think NEU may be better for the major

empty wing
#

Financial aid finally respond back after 3 weeks and they still want me to provide an unnecessary tax form

#

I already got financial aid offers from other schools and they didn’t need that form

languid moon
#

have you committed?

empty wing
#

No

#

I might as well take a gap year atp

#

Admitted EA and still haven’t gotten my preliminary financial aid offer

1 email takes them 3 weeks to respond

#

i sent that a bit ago

#

i was like are they taking people off the waitlist

languid moon
#

oh

trim edge
#

i think you got a good chance

#

northeastern usually isnt peoples first choice

languid moon
#

why ?

#

oh well hopefully

#

i turned in my loci last week, (i know late)

#

but i dont rlly have much updates

trim edge
#

its pretty expensive and isnt the best

languid moon
#

well not last week, i guess this week

trim edge
#

compared to simillar schools

languid moon
#

sunday

trim edge
#

they needa see how many people are committing before seein how many people they can accept off waitlist

#

although idt you can get boston campus off waitlist tho

#

pretty slim chance

#

are you okay with oakland first year, or global scholar/nuin?

languid moon
#

yeah oakland

#

or global

#

hopefully boston but i will take Oakland as well

languid moon
trim edge
#

thats my plan

languid moon
#

one yr at cali sounds fun

languid moon
trim edge
#

yeah exactly

#

id be optimisitc

but of course you need a backup planm

lyric cypress

For business it’s so hard

#

Only half my friends got in

trim edge
#

but cs is their like main thing tho

#

uwash is one of the best cs schools itw

lyric cypress
#

And they all are going to great schools

trim edge

oos cs at uwash is like impossible to get into

#

its harder than all ivys

lyric cypress
#

It’s so fuckin hard

#

2 percent oos cs

trim edge
#

i wish i lived in seattle

languid moon
#

i have two backup plans: 1 commit to state school and transfer to gatech and other schools 2 maybe get off the waitlist

trim edge
#

and then if you get into neu do that

lyric cypress
trim edge
#

and the apply for transfer after 1 year regardless if youre at gsu or neu

trim edge
#

i migt visit while im on west coast

lyric cypress
#

I respect it honestly it’s just not for me

#

I’ve been here too damn long

languid moon
#

gsu-> gatech hopefully

#

i might even apply to ivies

#

cause i didnt this time

trim edge
trim edge
#

unless youre a veteran at cc

languid moon
#

i will still try for fun,

lyric cypress
#

I want to tho

#

So I can go to st. Frattys when im in Cali

#

Also I want all the sun in Cali

languid moon
trim edge
#

pu oakland first semester

trim edge
#

but i dont lie any of the cs+x programs at uiuc except for cs and math

#

but idt i can qualify for it

lyric cypress
#

Schools that are easier for transfers

#

Even vandy or the ucs

trim edge
#

dartmouth liberal arts

languid moon
#

ucs are expensive

trim edge
lyric cypress
#

Transfers aren’t horrible tho

trim edge
#

their transfer rates are inflated cuz of ccc agreeents

lyric cypress
#

Yea ik

lyric cypress
languid moon
lyric cypress
#

Yeah

#

Fosho

languid moon
#

because i have nothing to lose

lyric cypress
#

Dartmouth is the easiest transfer wise

#

I may apply transfer there it is my dream school

languid moon
#

i don’t have a dream school but i really like brown

lyric cypress
#

Brown is sick

#

Ik a couple kids who go there

#

Mostly athletes tho 😭

languid moon
#

In 2020, Brown University's acceptance rate for transfer students was 7.07%. Approximately 2,000 students apply to transfer to Brown each year.

#

i thought it would be more than 2k hmm

ebon wing
#

LMU has a partnership with the Los Angeles Rams so for those wanting to get into sports would like that

cold cliff
twilit hinge
#

I mean colby is a liberal arts school, so it might help with the classroom enviornment if u perfer smaller

#

Both college programs for those majors are good, it just depends on what type of college life you want

trim edge
trim edge
#

It’s mostly veterans

stoic cliff
lyric cypress
#

its posted

#

it has the highest transfer ar of any ivy

stoic cliff
#

2023/24 Common data set says 429 males applied

#

8 got in.

lyric cypress
#

i mean thats males the overall rate is like 7 percent

stoic cliff
#

8/429 is like 2% tho

lyric cypress
#

yea

#

but thats not the AR thats the male AR

#

im talking about raw stats

stoic cliff
#

Oh ok

#

Overall is 12/768 tho

#

Which is like 1.5%

lyric cypress
#

im just going off what it says online

stoic cliff
#

From the common data set

#

Like on diff websites?

#

I’d say to just look at the cds of different schools bc that’s what they actually report

#

They’re required to every year

lyric cypress
#

yeah ig

stoic cliff
#

I’m also thinking abt transferring out of Northeastern to schools I like more

#

Not that I don’t like Northeastern, just that there are other schools I’m interested in

#

But I’m also trying to find out how feasible it is

lyric cypress
#

UNC, UMich, USC, Emory, Vandy

#

all have pretty high transfer AR

#

like compared to normal AR

stoic cliff
#

Bc there are some schools that seem like they have good ar’s, but then it’s like 85% of accepted transfers are from cc’s or smthn like that

#

Like for uc’s

lyric cypress
#

yea exactly

stoic cliff
#

Even usc is only 24% ar

#

And only 24% of that is oos

#

So like only 5% overall

lyric cypress
#

yea which sucks

stoic cliff
#

Vandy seems to be the only one with acc good chances from what I’ve seen

lyric cypress
#

realistically i wont transfer

stoic cliff
#

Even umich seems high but for ross its insane

#

From what I’ce seen

stoic cliff
lyric cypress
#

yea i dont really have an intrest in Umich ross

#

i hate the culture

stoic cliff
#

Why?

lyric cypress
stoic cliff
#

Bc it’s competitive?

lyric cypress
stoic cliff
#

Oh ok

lyric cypress
#

like having a pre determined ammount of As for a class

stoic cliff
#

Yea a friend of mine at ross says he hates the culture too

#

Oh what

#

That’s crazy

lyric cypress
#

yea

#

every grade ive heard is based on how good ur class is

#

its all a curve

stoic cliff
#

Damn

lyric cypress
#

My family friend did mba there and loved it thi

#

he did emory undergrad

stoic cliff
#

Cool

lyric cypress
#

Id have more intrest in UNC

#

its more my vibe

#

and way smaller

stoic cliff
#

Dyk what their rate is oos for transfer

#

Bc I also like unc

#

But idrk

lyric cypress
#

no clue there common data set is like 40 percent AR for trasnfers

stoic cliff
#

Oh ok

lyric cypress
#

42 percent

stoic cliff
#

Dope

lyric cypress
#

1535/3645

stoic cliff
#

Even if half of that is in state that’s def not bad

lyric cypress
#

yea its not bad at all

#

Like im reconsidering my descion now tho cuz it would be harder to trasnfer from NEU than another school

#

cuz of how diffrent it is

stoic cliff
#

Yea

lyric cypress
#

my dad wants me to go to SMU instead or sum

stoic cliff
#

But neu is still a good fallback

#

Like technically the best strat is community college

#

But that’s a huge risk if things don’t work out

lyric cypress
#

yea

stoic cliff
#

And northeastern is still def good bc co ops

lyric cypress
#

I was gonna go to SMU all along but I didnt get into the biz school

#

so id have to do econ

stoic cliff
#

Idk how much co ops make up for lack of prestige tho

stoic cliff
lyric cypress
stoic cliff
#

Would smu be better if it was the b school

#

Idk anything abt smu

lyric cypress
#

very good IB hires according to there employement report

For like top firms?

lyric cypress
#

28 percent of class of 2022 went into IB from the finance concentration

stoic cliff
#

From what it seems they send a lot to morgan stanley

#

Idk much else tho

lyric cypress
#

the concentration had 42 into the big 3

#

mostly goldman

stoic cliff
#

Cool

#

Ik for consulting they place good in top 4 also

lyric cypress
#

the finance concentration had 40 percent of kids go into Private Equity, VC, Consulting, or IB

#

in 2022

#

like it has great job placement

stoic cliff
#

Dope

#

R u gna be in mckim

lyric cypress
#

yea

stoic cliff
#

Cool same

#

And ur doing global scholars right

lyric cypress
#

yea

stoic cliff
#

Dyk when we get told if we’re in oakland or london first

lyric cypress
#

no clue

stoic cliff
#

Also apparently unc has a state mandated cap of 18% of their student body being oos

lyric cypress
#

yeah thats why its so hard oos

#

its pretty easy in state

stoic cliff
#

And for their regular freshman applications it’s 42% instate and 8% oos

lyric cypress
#

same thing with UT

stoic cliff
#

Insane

#

Yea

lyric cypress
#

Ik one girl this year who got in

#

she not going tho

#

we had like 6 kids get into stanford

stoic cliff
#

Damn

#

What school?

lyric cypress
#

its just a normall public school

stoic cliff
#

Oh ok

lyric cypress
#

Ik so many kids at feeders tho

#

like i know a few kids going to harvard

languid moon
#

did you commit yet ?

stoic cliff
lyric cypress
stoic cliff
#

For ivies my school has a lot that got into cornell and brown

#

And then 1 princeton, 1 columbia, and 1 dartmouth

#

No harvard yale or upenn tho

#

And then 1 guy that got into stanford, northwestern, jhu, and caltech

#

He got deferred from neu and was considering ed2ing before he got all those good results

#

He’s rlly smart but also kinda dumb sometimes lol

languid moon
stoic cliff
#

Not sure what happened but honestly it’s prob more likely that he got yield protected

#

Like they js rejected him bc he’s too good

novel bolt
#

respectfully yield protection is not a real thing lol

stoic cliff
#

Rlly?

novel bolt
#

especially for a school as selective as northeastern

#

really lol

stoic cliff
#

I thought northeastern does it a lot

#

To keep their acceptance rate low

languid moon
#

i dont think so

stoic cliff
#

Bc they definitely game that

novel bolt
#

it’s a running joke in this server that if you got rejected from somewhere you were yield protected but it’s not a real thing

stoic cliff
#

As far as I’ve heard

novel bolt
#

and even if they did, yield protection would not factor into that

languid moon
#

maybe he didnt fit ?

novel bolt
#

northeastern also considers demonstrated interest

#

but either way yield protection isn’t really a thing lol

stoic cliff
#

That’s weird

#

I’ve been fully under the impression that it’s a rlly common practice

#

How do u know it’s not real?

languid moon
#

idk, but someone in this server got rejected from neu and got into MiT

#

so maybe they care about fit/ demonstrated interest more

stoic cliff
#

Yea maybe

#

But I feel like being super cracked would kinda fall into not being a good fit

#

Which would be similar to js being yield protected

#

Idk

lyric cypress
languid moon
#

i think they are qualified but didnt like there personality or didnt demonstrate interest

lyric cypress
#

we had alot JHU and Northwestern tho

stoic cliff
#

Jeez

languid moon
#

so maybe demonstrated interest (is yield protection)

stoic cliff
#

Yea

languid moon
#

but that doesnt rlly make sense because they should have gotten waitlisted instead

#

or like your friend who got deferred

stoic cliff
#

Yea

#

That’s why I think that to some extent yield protection prob is real

#

Like if someone is super overqualified and a college can tell that that person has a low chance of acc wanting to go to that school

#

It would make sense for them to reject that person and accept someone else who’s qualified and wants to attend

lyric cypress
#

Yield protection is legit a confirmed thing

#

According to admission officers

stoic cliff
#

Yea that’s what I thought

lyric cypress
#

Like schools don’t let in super qualified candidates if they don’t think they will go

stoic cliff
#

Yea that makes sense

#

Someone was js saying it’s not real tho

lyric cypress
#

I didn’t get yield protected tho

#

I had to shit of stats

stoic cliff
#

I’m js not sure where they got their info from

stoic cliff
lyric cypress
#

I went 10/18

#

I should’ve applied to more tho

#

I got rejected at 6 reach’s, 1 target, and got waitlisted by a safety

languid moon
#

which safety ?

lyric cypress
#

Boulder

stoic cliff
#

10/18 is def good tho

lyric cypress
#

Yea I wish I had applied to like 10 ish more

novel bolt
#

i mean yield protection is a thing, but it’s not what people think it is

lyric cypress
#

I’d guess I would’ve gone like 13/28

stoic cliff
#

Like more selective schools u mean?

stoic cliff
#

As in like its less common?

novel bolt
#

most of the time yield protection is used by state/public schools that need a specific percentage of in-state students to maintain funding

#

for unc only 18% of students can be out-of-state

stoic cliff
#

Yea we were js talking abt that acc

novel bolt
#

and ut austin has to have 90% texas students

stoic cliff
#

Jeez that’s worse than I thought

#

But I feel like it makes sense for other schools to do that too

lyric cypress
novel bolt
#

i mean it’s great for in-state students because it helps keep tuition down

lyric cypress
#

It was my top school and I got shit on

stoic cliff
#

Like logically if someone is super overqualified, it makes sense for colleges to give that seat to someone they think is more likely to attend

lyric cypress
#

Yea exactly

novel bolt
#

yield protection is also strongly alleged lol

#

it used to be called tufts syndrome because tufts almost solely accepted students that they knew would enroll

#

no school has publicly admitted to doing it

stoic cliff
#

I mean it makes sense that schools wouldn’t publicly say they do it but I don’t think that makes it less likely to be real

novel bolt
#

but in reality what people tend to think is “yield protection” is actually demonstrated interest/spots already being filled by early action/early decision admits

#

also a good rule of thumb is if you google something and almost every result is those bullshit “top tier admission” and “ivy league coach” websites, it’s probably not an actual issue that you need to worry about

stoic cliff

Fair

#

@empty wing are u going to rice now

empty wing
#

Idk

#

Gonna appeal my aid

#

And we’ll see

lyric cypress
#

If u can get good aid

#

I’d 100 percent go there

#

Rice is an incredible school

empty wing
#

Yeah true

#

This aid got me fucked up 😂

#

35k income but wants my fam to pay 31k

lyric cypress
#

Hell nah bruh

#

Are u full ride at neu

lyric cypress
#

Like 150k income no aid

languid moon
#

if you make 35k

#

why would it be 31k a yr

#

definitely appeal

#

Families who apply for financial aid and do not qualify for The Rice Investment will still be evaluated for need-based aid eligibility. For these families, Rice remains committed to meeting 100% of demonstrated financial need.

i have a quick question to anyone who is a current neu studet, what are the LLC and dorms combinations this year

#

since ik they tend to be similar each year

#

like eng is always in stwest

untold shale
#

BRO WHERE IS FAFSA

#

how tf could they not release fafsa yet for me

#

like decision day is in 2 or 3 days or whatever

#

like

meager isle
untold shale
#

i got 0 for css

#

but

#

fordham gave me 20k/yr for fafsa even tho they also gave me 0 for css

#

so i have hope

meager isle
#

fafsa says its processed but the school hasnt recieved it yet tho

#

idk why

untold shale
#

fr

#

bro

meager isle
#

its been 3 months

untold shale
#

my sai was like

#

45k

#

on fafsa

#

smehow

#

somehow

#

idk why it was so low

#

but if fordham gave me money neu prob will too

meager isle
untold shale
#

yeah

#

my sai is like

#

10%

#

of my parents income

#

but fafsa has more context ig

#

theyre divorced so

#

thats prob why i got any money from fordham

meager isle
untold shale
#

ye but i thought i was gonna get 0 aid

#

like full pay

#

ig not

meager isle
#

anything more than like 10k sai is like up to the school

untold shale
#

my fin aid might cover a year of tuition

#

the co op another year

#

and my 529 plan+ cc classes this summer will cover a year and a half

meager isle
untold shale
#

so half a year left to pay for

untold shale
#

i mean if i dont get any aid from neu ima be rlly upset ofc but

#

i can still 'afford' it

#

id just rather not 💀

#

either way if neu fafsa doesnt pull through i can negotiate cus i got the money from fordham

meager isle
#

erm

untold shale
#

u can still negotiate

#

u dont have to say 'ill go to this school if u dont give me money' but they can still be generous

#

cus like its only fair

meager isle
#

if the school will ever recieve my fafsa then ill negotiate

untold shale
#

if another school gave money

#

oh wait

#

arent u supposed to withdraw

#

so u cant match aid if u ed

#

only negotiate the amount

meager isle
untold shale
#

right

#

so u cant compare aid offers

#

u did ed neu?

meager isle
untold shale
#

i feel like everyone who did ed got boston campus

#

not boston campus was only like ea/rd

meager isle
untold shale
#

mhm

trim edge
#

they sent an email saying that they dont plan on making significant changes to their initial fin aid offers

#

and they wont be using fafsa

untold shale
#

??

#

wtf

#

why

#

bruh

#

i am fucking negotiating then

#

cus fordham literally gave me 20k/yr in fin aid from fafsa

#

but 0 from css

trim edge
#

bro cant you afford full pay?

#

you got like 100k in your own savings, and then parents income at like 400k

#

youre prob not gonna get anything anyway

maiden fiber
#

😭

#

i know some middle class ppl can’t fully afford to pay for college but i hope y’all realize fafsa is for the low income ppl! so don’t be surprised if u don’t get anything

#

and u seem to be upper middle class

#

no offense but if u say u can “afford it”, lets leave the left over financial aid money to the students who actually do not have the money to pay for college 🤗

languid moon
#

i think he is rich

untold shale
#

but

languid moon
#

400k is like rich, but not wealthy

untold shale
#

i want more money obv

untold shale
#

not wyoming

#

keep that in mind as well

#

well

#

the house is paid off

#

but my mom pays for the apartment

#

plus my parents both have cars

#

theyre divorced too

#

so its not rlly combined

#

either way, if i get the fordham type financial aid, thats 20k a year

#

so that saves me from paying for an extra YEAR of college

#

itd be great

trim edge
untold shale
#

i mean i get that but

#

its not like its easy for me either

#

i still have to pay and my parents have big bills for other things

trim edge
#

One of my friends appealed for his aid and got like 5k more

#

I was gonna do it too

#

But I realized if I can afford it I’m not gonna take away from people who can’t

untold shale
#

im gonna wait for fafsa

#

if it doesnt come out soon ill appeal

trim edge
#

They said they’re not using fafsa

#

It’s based off csss

maiden fiber
#

some ppl arent as privileged as u

trim edge
#

Check your email

untold shale
#

ok then i appeal

untold shale
#

its not like they have a specific budget

maiden fiber
#

take out loans like other students do

languid moon
#

without finical hardship ?

maiden fiber
#

like bro 😭😭😭

languid moon
#

right

untold shale
#

its still financial hardships

#

on my parents

trim edge
#

Dawg you’re coming out pretty out of touch

maiden fiber
#

but ur parents make 200k…..

untold shale
#

so why shouldnt i appeal

#

thatd be dumb what if they actually give me 20k a year

untold shale
#

i promise you

languid moon
#

both together

trim edge
#

You said 400k

#

And you have 100k savings

untold shale
#

theyre divorced

languid moon
#

are they both helping ?

untold shale
#

they dont share income

#

yes

languid moon
#

i think you are okay

trim edge
#

I think you’ll be good bro

untold shale
#

yes but im still gonna appeal

languid moon
#

fafsa wont help as much

#

i guess you can try but doesnt make sense

#

100k in savings and 400k income combined

#

seems to me that you got lucky with your position in life

untold shale
#

bro i still dont want to pay like

#

well im not payng for everything cus

#

im taking cc classes

#

thatll save a bit

#

then uhhh

languid moon
#

i mean see you have cc classes

untold shale
#

i can get scholarships outside + scholarships for doing well if i have a good gpa

untold shale
#

thats 1 summer

#

thatll save me like

#

30k max

#

my tuition is over 80 thousand dollars

#

i dont care how rich i am, that is a ridiculous number

languid moon
#

i mean does your combined income and your savings cover everything

untold shale
#

im not a multi millionaire

#

i mean my parents

#

i wouldnt even say theyre millionaires

untold shale
#

lets see

#

co ops will cover about a year

#

my college savings will cover another year + 20k left

#

and 30k from the cc

#

thats 2.5 years ish so far

languid moon
#

so your parents can cover the rest

#

?

trim edge
#

You’ll be more than fine 😭😭😭

languid moon
#

right

untold shale
#

but if i get 20k/yr ill only have to worry about actually paying for 1 semseter

trim edge
#

Run the numbers

untold shale
#

but its still not that little for them

#

they are paying for all of my sisters activities

#

and bills

#

etc
