what r ur parents paying off for their bugatti??

quiet pendant
#

stop this

untold shale
quiet pendant
#

lmao just let him appeal

untold shale
#

dude

languid moon
quiet pendant
#

if they dont give him money, so what

#

move on to something better

untold shale
#

200k a year in new york city will not afford anyone a bugatti

#

lmao

languid moon
#

just interesting to see other people

untold shale
#

also im not going to a cheap school

#

its not like im going to cuny or adelphi full ride

#

which is what a lot of ppl in my school are doing

#

even if their parents are well off

languid moon
#

not sure how appeals work ?

untold shale
#

i mean u just email them

languid moon
#

they school gives you money or fafsa ?

untold shale
#

and see what happens

quiet pendant
#

you arent appealing with FAFSA here

untold shale
#

fafsa has nothing to do with who gives what

#

they just provide info

#

and the school makes their own decision based on it

languid moon
#

oh ok

quiet pendant
#

that's why you see people with -1500 SAI sometimes having to pay 10k

quaint geyser
#

northeastern is very stingy with aid arenā€™t they

untold shale
untold shale
#

tbh tho

#

fordham is way cheaper atp for me lol

#

theyre giving me 15k a year so i can travel from home

#
  • 20k/yr for fafsa
quiet pendant
quaint geyser
#

fordham is super generous w aid

languid moon
quaint geyser
#

js go there atp

untold shale
#

i wanna go to neu

quaint geyser
#

transfer

quiet pendant
untold shale
#

i already put my $3,500 full deposit

#

for nuin

#

that shit is actually ridiculous

#

idk why its such a big deposit

quaint geyser
#

bc it includes flight and housing

untold shale
#

housing cant be that cheap

quaint geyser
#

deposit is part of tuition

#

which includes said flight and housing fees

untold shale
#

true but most deposits are like 100 bucks or some shit

quaint geyser
#

bc housing isnā€™t included in it

quiet pendant
#

s no real reason

untold shale
languid moon
#

350 for my housing deposit at my state school

quiet pendant
#

NEU thievery

#

that's all

quaint geyser
#

and youā€™re nu.in so you also have to pay for flights

#

true

quiet pendant
#

it's fine tho

#

cuz it's a part of your tuition

untold shale
#

neu gon actually kill me

#

with the cost

quiet pendant
#

so you'd have paid this money anyways

quaint geyser
#

idk why nu.in deposit is way more than global scholars

untold shale
#

what if something happens and my costs arent accurate

#

like what if i dont get co-ops

#

or my parents lose their job

#

my mom lost her job like 3 times in 1 year

quiet pendant
#

you can appeal aid

quaint geyser
#

thatā€™s when you scream at the financial aid office to give you money

twilit hinge
#

U can then reapply I believe

quiet pendant
#

that's an extraordinary circumstance

#

so

#

you'd be able to appeal

untold shale
#

maybe my sai was so low because my mom lost her job in 2022

quiet pendant
#

plus, you reapply each year

untold shale
#

and my dad

#

and theyre divorced

untold shale
quiet pendant
#

so if circumstances change it will update each year

quaint geyser
#

yeah

untold shale
#

wait so

#

fafsa being recieved wont be updated?

#

in that case ima just email them today

quaint geyser
#

calling is faster

quiet pendant
#

yeah i have no idea why you waited this long tbh

untold shale
#

i dont wanna mumble my speech

quaint geyser
#

they take a while to respond to email bc theyā€™re backed up

untold shale
#

or smthng

quaint geyser
#

itā€™s fine

quiet pendant
#

i'd call

#

they can then send you to the appropriate place

quaint geyser
#

yeah

untold shale
#

also i talked to the school and

#

or my mom did

#

and they might give me some money if i mention a scholarship i got from another school

#

cus i got a music scholarship at brandy where they want me to minor and perform for them

quaint geyser
#

yeah

untold shale
#

so maybe i can do something like that for neu for money

quaint geyser
#

college is a business

#

you gotta market yourself to them

#

js be like i got this amt of money from this and that school

#

good luck w your appeal

untold shale
#

thank u man

#

i got 96k from brandeis

#

def not getting that from neu

#

but even if i get like 10k+ ill be happy

#

and if i get 10k/yr fin aid as well id also be happy with that\

empty wing
#

43k a year...

#

declining my admission to neu

languid moon
#

so you are going to rice ?

empty wing
#

yes probably im still waiting for my appeal tho

languid moon
#

wait so your household income is 35k ?

#

but they are making you pay 43k ?

empty wing
#

yeah

#

but i got pretty high assets ngl

languid moon
#

assets ? like what if you are willing to share

trim edge
empty wing
languid moon
#

oh

#

well goodluck with rice

lyric cypress
#

The rental properties is what is killing my chances of aid

trail cave
#

They said they will receive fafsas by end of April. Definitely not happening

untold shale
#

Or css

trail cave
#

Even if they get all of them they still have to process

untold shale
#

The FAFSA ceo guy just resigned

empty wing
#

the 43k a year includes my max pell grant

untold shale
#

Damn

trail cave
#

That stinks

untold shale
#

Iā€™m praying neu matches my Fordham aid or something

#

I can still go if they donā€™t but

#

It would be very nice

trail cave
#

Can always appeal. Everything is such a mess

#

Unfortunately

#

I've gotten pell grants from other schools so I know what I am gonna get in the ballpark

trail cave
languid moon
#

so how are people supposed to commit without fasfa

#

this is insane , how can they fuck up this badly

lyric cypress
#

the only people who can commit is people who can afford it

languid moon
#

so unfair

trail cave
#

I committed because css came through when I called financial aid they said my package would not go up and I knew I would just get a little from pell to help out

#

If not I would be in a very different situation

meager isle
untold shale
#

i dont even know tbh

#

maybe ppl here are wrong

#

i genuinely dk

meager isle
#

that they ainā€™t using fafsa

#

šŸ«¤

untold shale
#

yeah srsly

languid moon
#

even if they use fafsa, do you qualify for aid ? im confused

meager isle
#

wonā€™t get money from fafsa, but i need it for the school to finalise my estimate

untold shale
#

and fafsa as well as they said my sai is 45k

languid moon
#

and you have also called neu, rlly unfair of fafsa forcing people to commit without seeing their packages

meager isle
#

@untold shale would calling them make a difference, or would they just tell me what i see is what i get

untold shale
#

i might call or email them idk

untold shale
#

yet

#

:(

languid moon
#

call them

#

what are you waiting for ?

untold shale
#

i need to fr

languid moon
#

like rn, doesnt make sense to me if you rlly want an appeal

i guess the css is rlly the final estimate @untold shale

#

do you just decline your offer by withdrawing your application

trim edge
#

do you have to decline schools?

novel bolt
#

you donā€™t have to

#

but itā€™s kind of a sign of respect if youā€™re in a smaller program

#

also helps people get off the waitlist sooner

#

which is kinda important considering iā€™m a compsci + theatre combined major and compsci is always a bloodbath lol

trim edge
#

idk how to do it

novel bolt
#

most portals have an admissions reply form where you can decline

#

northeastern doesnā€™t tho

trim edge
#

dont think my school has one

not really

i mean for my town im pretty middle class

Uhh which website u lookin at

also travis scott merch??

#

hey, just came here to say - PLEASE appeal for financial aid, even if you're not sure you'll get it! i did and got almost a 50k package of grants + an existing scholarship. I was by no means expecting this nor did we have that much financial need. SFS is really receptive!

Can I request for NEU to re consider my scholarship?

#

I received 7k/yr merit but received 25k/yr at wpi

untold shale
#

they didnt give my my fafsa back but i got 0 for css and fordham gave me 20k/yr on fafsa

#

i also got 100k brandeis/80k syracuse total but no merit at neu so ill appeal that too

hi for global scholars people

#

has northeastern confirmed where we going for the semester 1?

#

i didnā€™t receive any notification regarding my campus for the first semester

#

šŸ’€

quaint geyser
sweet ledge
#

ok thanks

languid moon
#

i submitted my loci to the portal about a few weeks ago

#

but i was wondering if i needed to email them as well ?

maiden fiber
#

tbh theyā€™re rlly slow with seeing emails so i feel like u donā€™t need to šŸ˜­ it took them 2 weeks to get back to me

trim edge
#

i jsut always call

shadow mantle
#

How many portals are there for now? Is it just the application portal or should I have already received housing/classes portals?

charred mulch
#

if you have a northeastern email address i would assume you can at least sign into the student hub

#

and probably housing online

shadow mantle
#

I just checked my application portal, I went into the admitted students events, and saw that I could only schedule visits to Oakland and Boston. Does that mean that my first semester will be at Oakland? (I am in the global scholars program) deos anyone have the London visits or no?

#

bro guys

#

are NEU's dorms good

#

or nah

twilit hinge
#

depends which one u get

meager isle
#

the application status check says

#

they recieved my fafsa on may 1st lol

#

so they are using it??

untold shale
#

Has your aid package changed?

meager isle
#

iā€™ll lyk if it does

trim edge
#

but we sent it

#

so ofc their gonna receive it

languid moon
#

would it be annoying if i contacted the AOs

trim edge
#

might as well

languid moon
#

might as well be annoying or ? i should contact them

#

i already sent the loci

#

but im just wondering if they received it

trim edge
#

lotta people havent committed yet

#

so prob not looking at waitlist

#

just keep waiting

dawn badger
#

hey i was wondering how u guys are planning on paying for tuition or if anybody had luck with negotiating aid

untold shale

#

are global scholars allowed to choose their residence halls and roommates.

real

round wyvern
#

me when i said no financial aid because i thought it would increase my chances (i wouldn't have gotten anything anyway)

untold shale
#

FAFSA out but nothing updated

#

Guess I gotta email them šŸ˜’

dawn badger
languid moon
trim edge
#

my parents gonna figure it out

#

but imma pay them back for it one day

languid moon
#

i thought you got good aid ?

trim edge
#

doesnt mean im not botuta pay them

#

i dnot liek taking stuff from my parents

languid moon
#

how much do you have to pay per yr

trim edge
#

29

languid moon
#

wow

#

29k yr ?

trim edge
#

bro youre lowk asking too many questions

languid moon
#

oh i didnt think it was much question just general questions

#

i can stop , i think im just shocked at how expensive college is

sweet ledge
#

global scholars people, are housing applications available now? my friend who is enrolled in an one year oakland program said that housing application is due by the end of may but i donā€™t see any info regarding dorms

dawn badger
languid moon
#

maybe if you make 700k a yr

dawn badger
#

360k in tuition is crazy compared to other countries

untold shale
#

Ppl were saying I shouldnā€™t be complaining with waht my parents make but like shit is expensive

#

And because I can kinda afford, I donā€™t rlly wanna pass down this opportunity

dawn badger
#

I love the school but dropping that much is absurd and ofc were gonna look for diff ways to pay for it effectively

charred mulch
untold shale
#

i mean like im very grateful my grandpa/dad randomly put 100k in savings

#

they didnt even know i was gonna go to such an expensive school, they prolly woulda put more

#

and the money more than doubled over time that they put in

#

and co ops will pay for a good bit, also summer classes/ap credits if i get any

#

but like still

#

if i dont get aid ill still have to pay minimum 120k excluding all of that stuff

cold cliff
#

Unfortunately didn't get aid but I got 7k/yr merit and also took a load of community college classes and aps while in HS so I'll be able to grad in 3 years

#

Even with all that tho still gonna have to pay 220+k tho

#

Coops will help but even like 180k is absurd

round wyvern
#

like i have to pay a sizable portion back to them

#

also they keep saying dont worry about money and then also saying idk how we'll get the money silly

#

but they said leave it to them so ill trust the

untold shale
#

If u get good coops

#

Lock in get the best paying ones u can

#

U can prolly pay for a year with that

#

I mean Iā€™m taking CC this summer so thatā€™s 8 credits, but I can also transfer classes from high school that I took (college now) to that college

#

Itā€™s perfect because my HS is inside a CC campus and the college now classes I took (thru my hs) were literally classes offered by the CC

#

Also I predict Iā€™ll get 3 4s so thatā€™s 12 creds

cold cliff
#

Check the classes

#

A few of mine didn't end up transferring or only counted as electives

#

Northeastern is a sucker for money so they'll take as little as they can

untold shale
#

How do I search for them

cold cliff
#

Also reach out to the dean of your college, they were rly helpful in getting me out of an extra class bc of how many classes I took

cold cliff
#

Also you can search online for which APs they take and what classes they count for

mighty cedar
#

how do i claim my student account?

#

was i supposed to get an email?

untold shale
#

Baruch isnā€™t on the list the hell

#

But the CC is

#

So thatā€™s good

untold shale
#

If u mind tho how many credits did u get

#

That u gave to beu

#

Neu

cold cliff
#

Assuming I manage atleast a 4 on BC and Physics C next week, I'll go in with 38 credits

#

12 of those are elective credits, tho

untold shale
#

YEASS INTRO TO CRIM JYSTICE

#

THEY TAKE IT

#

LETS GOOO

cold cliff
#

YOOO LFG

untold shale
#

How many years is that

#

Over 1 year off?

cold cliff
#

Intro classes r the best to get out of bc they r the biggest classes

cold cliff
untold shale
#

Oh what the hell

#

WAIT

#

3 OF THE CLASSWS I TOOK IN HS

#

ARE ON THERE

#

intro to criminal justice, constitutional law honors, intro to college planning

#

Is that 12 credits off???

cold cliff
#

Depends on the class, they range from 3-4 credits, just look up the class that they transfer to on the neu course syllabus

#

Most of mine r 3 credits per, but a few are 4 credits

untold shale
#

Iā€™m okay with 3 creds thatā€™s still amazing

#

Iā€™m taking the max 8 credits this summer

cold cliff
#

yeah 100%

untold shale
#
  • those 12
#

+12 probably for APs

#

THATS DAMN CLOSE TO A YEAR

#

whoooo

cold cliff
#

And if you plan on doing ur full 4 years regardless of the credits, you can j take more classes that interest u

#

and if not, you can grad a sem early

round wyvern
#

do u guys think i can do combined major and 2 coops

#

chem eng + data science only shows on ecoop 4 years on the website for plan of study

untold shale
#

That 80k will make a BIG difference

#

Well actually what I wanna do is

#

I can have free summers

#

And take co ops for 6 months not 4

#

So I graduate in 4 years, but 3 years of classes 1 year of co op

cold cliff
cold cliff
round wyvern
#

i have like 22

#

from aps

#

i believe

untold shale
cold cliff
#

The easiest way would be to transfer credits (CC or AP) for chem, physics & calc 1&2

#

that would give the bare minimum credits to place out of a semester worth of classes in your freshman year for that combined major

#

^ a 5 on AP Physics C: Mechanics, & 4 on BC and AB sub-score would get u out of physics and calc

#

technically a 5 in ap chem would go towards a diff class, but you could easily negotiate that with a dean

untold shale
#

i looked at the collegeboard list and it said they accept 4 for all

cold cliff
#

Depends on the exam

#

That was also 2 years ago, could be subject to change

#

wait, this is more up-to-date

#

They take 4's for a bit more than half

#

a lot of the STEM Ap's seem to only take 5's

untold shale
#

envi sci 4

#

phew

round wyvern
#

id be willing to skip a summer or something

acoustic sentinel
charred mulch
#

they should take 4 and 5 for all the ones listed
