From what i can tell tho interviews mean almost nothing for NJ in terms of admissions decisions

marsh crystal
#

Did you guys write about any major-related courses in the essays? I feel like there isn't much opportunity to write about research/academics in the essays

dense parrot
#

Should I I submit my PS to northwestern

#

I feel like my supps are to a higher standard

#

But my ps tells a really good story

#

I guess it doesn’t hurt right?

dense parrot
#

I didnt

#

You can reference NU if you would like tho I think that is good

#

And you wanna use examples

dim creek
quasi verge
#

i already mentioned this a bit, but im just wondering bc its kinda weighing me down

#

so for the why northwestern i honestly didnt take it as such. like i submitted it 95% life experiences and 5% northwestern

#

but then i did two optional essays, the communities and location, and obviously made them very northwestern-y

#

and i also had an interview that went very well in terms of my fit for the school

#

does that make up for a lacking why northwestern?? bc i straight up didnt catch what the prompt wanted??

#

so they know i like wanna go? 😭

#

i answered why northwestern in like everything except that prompt, and ive also done a summer program there

dense parrot
#

You should be good

#

It’s kinda hard to say

#

But if you referenced why nu in ur supps you should be alert

#

Alright*

#

Is it fine to say NU instead of Northwestern University to save words

eager lark
#

i just said northwestern

split laurel
#

I will be starting my supps tmrw kek

dense parrot
#

😂😂😂

#

Lock in

peak abyss
#

always submit PS unless u think it isn’t good

peak abyss

#

My school hasn’t uploaded my semester 1 transcript

#

Is that fine

#

I go back next week (9th) and will ask my counselor to do it then

(or intentionally leaning super heavy into life experiences only jgldfkg)

dense parrot
#

He got in

quasi verge
#

im aware

peak abyss
#

Overall much less NU

#

But also did community and belonging prompt and was rlly specific on that

#

I think you’ll be good

peak abyss

#

OOH

#

THAYS AWESOME

peak abyss
placid silo
#

eyyy thank you lemme DM you

eager lark
#

how do you get an interview?

thick helm
#

Glad to see that I’m not the only one who didn’t make essay like only 20-30% about NU 😭

placid silo
#

so proud of myself i rushed a supp in one hour

dense dove
#

based

#

nw's supplementals are pretty chill

#

i think nw is like

#

propbably the most based school in terms of how they do their supps

#

they just give like 43098210947201052 options for differing types of people

#

and then they just say this based shit

#

"yeah you can copy and paste tbh also do whatever you want"

#

😂

dim creek
wicked jackal
#

How do we submit the personal essay or do they just want us to trim it down to 300 words and stick it in the box

dim creek
#

It gives you the option too when you go to submit

guys I opened one of the most rushed supps I ever wrote with Moana

#

smile Northwestern be driving me to insanity

#

but all the writings I've wrote have nothing to do with my major

peak abyss
#

Then you pray you get a response

#

Interview doesn’t rlly matter like at all, just have questions ready beforehand and make sure you can answer “why NU” really well

azure marsh
#

pog

solar sparrow
#

i dont get the personal essay policy

#

will it be considered automatically if i have it on my common app or do i need to check a box?

peak abyss
#

on the last screen when ur submitting it asks u

azure marsh
#

my essays are all reheated meals that is meant for other schools with northwestern garnish and spices

For us it was right after deadline for everyone I think

naive escarp

peak abyss
#

Also for everyone

atomic rivet

#

easiest prompt tbh took me like 20m

verbal stag
#

yea its rather simple

dense dove
#

ofc uchicago has access to evanston but like

#

ur right there

#

evanston is like 45 min from hyde park

solar sparrow
#

mmm

peak abyss
solar sparrow
#

ok ill look at it again later, but yeah i should talk more abt evanston

peak abyss
split laurel
#

Is it joever

#

Are they bad?

split laurel
#

Alr ty!

surreal glacier
#

Guys would it make a difference if i don't submit optional essay prompt?

#

Please be honest

split laurel
#

Yes tbh it would

#

Writing more essays gives u a better chance to stand out

#

And shows your interest in actually going to the school

solar sparrow
#

hm of the first prompt should be abt NU

#

im reusing cornell and i wrote that one to be more abt my experiences and less abt why cornell

surreal glacier
#

Got it
would be writing on 2nd & 3rd Optional prompts...

verbal stag
split laurel
#

Yep exactly

#

Optional rarely means optional in college admissions

#

Same with interviews

dense parrot
#

I was watching a video from NU admissions and they said these supplements were truly optional

#

But I would still do it

#

Like it’s there for a reason

#

There’s always smth to say

#

Which prompts did you guys pick

solar sparrow
#

2 and 4

#

2 is so fun

placid silo
dense parrot
#

I did the rock one instead of 2

placid silo
#

I like 4

#

it's one essay I expected to be chaotic and out of context but somehow ended up working well

dense parrot
#

Yeah

#

I kinda touched on Evanston a lot more than Chicago

#

But that’s alright

floral saddle
#

isn’t that technically better

peak abyss
#

def should lol

#

yeahhh

#

100%

dense parrot
#

Yeah I hope so

#

It kinda made sense

#

I heard most NU stay in Evanston a lot more so it works

peak abyss
#

Chicago is close and cheap but it’s still almost an hour away with traffic on the bus

floral saddle
#

yeah i remember my interviewer emphasizing they reside in evanston not chicago

peak abyss
#

Wait were u deferred

floral saddle
#

I was ED

#

deferred

peak abyss
#

Gotchu

#

They don’t defer many

#

So good job and good luck still!

floral saddle
#

i’m gonna cook up the best ever LOCI known to man

peak abyss
#

youre gonna continue that interest so hard

placid silo
#

ok i said i want them to consider my test scores but now i think i don't wanna report

#

is that possible....?

floral saddle
#

yeah

#

they’ll let u change it on the portal

#

if i recall

#

but i’m not sure if it’s the same since i went test optional initially instead of vice versa

split laurel
#

Man I thought my parents were strict

#

Real

#

6 apps left

#

Omg im sorry

#

😭

#

Lmao

#

I havent even opened NU prompts

#

Gotta get through brown too

dense parrot

dense parrot
#

Can I submit my resume through the portal?

split laurel
#

Wtf i actually hate these prompts

#

#

None are really that reusable

thick helm
#

damn

solar sparrow
#

ok i have cooked with these optional prompts

#

I did 2 brown essays

#

Nothing done on northwestern so far

small gust

gl with the rest

split laurel
#

Yea i might speedrun with no edits

small gust
#

if you're doing nw optional prompt 2 you could reuse for the brown if you could teach a class

#

200 words vs 100 words but still

vocal trail
#

should i talk about something hella political in my "pain the rock" essay

#

or is that a big no no

small gust
#

like dont come across as trying to change somebody else's opinion or anything

#

if you've been involved in political stuff or have a personal connection thats fine yeah

vocal trail
#

i mean, i'm palestinian

#

u know where i'm going with this

#

i don't think i should tbh

#

especially with what's happenin currently

#

even tho i want to

small gust
#

oh

#

ngl i'd go for it

#

bcuz if they reject you based on that

#

you wouldn't fit in at the school anyway

vocal trail
#

yea but also every school has the right to not allow students to do such stuff

#

as long as it's done without discrimination, i'm fine iwth it

small gust
#

imo it shows that you're brave and care about your community

#

if your first thought for painting a rock was something related to palestine

#

your choice at the end of the day but yeah ^

vocal trail
#

hmm

small gust
#

haha love that

#

imo tho my rd essays are a lot more refined and sophisticated

#

and ngl i wish i could use them for ea shit

#

but oh well

vocal trail
peak abyss
#

like make it clear it’s just to show your side of things

small gust
#

also focus more on you as a person and your personal values and identity rather than whatever you're painting

peak abyss
#

But yeah obv that’s what ppl actually use it for lol

vocal trail
#

the only problem is that i talked about my palestinian identity in another essay

solar sparrow
#

if you dont have anything too meaningful to add through a different prompt i would go for it

Did most of you guys include a optional recommendation

normal forge
#

Which optional prompts are best

#

I already did the location one

#

But not sure about the second

#

And how should I structure my first essay

Is it a why nw essay or talking mostly about myself

11:49 local time

#

Oh god I fucked up one of my supps

#

But at least it was one of the optional ones

#

Do y'all think I'm fucked if I turned in the "design a [blank]" and I only talked about what the class would be about instead of talking about people who'd take it or who could collaborate on it

man applying intl is an uphill battle fr

peak abyss
#

always will be

#

but y’all got this :) it an uphill battle for all RD folk

#

Also, I’m curious how much the end of AA will change that

azure marsh
#

wat

#

why does my two messages got removed

#

weird

peak abyss
#

what did u say

azure marsh
#

anyways i hope we are buffed

peak abyss
#

yeah :(

azure marsh
#

from lack of AA

peak abyss
#

Shoulddd be more merit based

#

So yes

#

My biggest problem is honestly often times the schooling is so different

azure marsh
#

yeah our school GPA inflated to hell

peak abyss
#

Like a lot of foreign schools are a lot harder, and getting a slightly worse grade in them is comparable to getting super good grades here

peak abyss
azure marsh
#

my school GPA is proportional to how much the parents donated to the school

#

so basically college admission

peak abyss
#

No way

azure marsh
peak abyss
#

LOL

#

where u from

azure marsh
#

vietnam

peak abyss
#

Ah okay

#

That’s unfortunateee

#

So do you do SAT/ACT for American schools?

No

what if you dont get a good offer

Well we can take a bad offer

#

like nu is a t10 so i think theyll give decent fin aid but just in case yk

peak abyss
#

We’ll get cost tomorrow I hope, so if it’s like 90k for some reason I’ll start applying to any school still open

#

Like doing NYU rn just in case lol

#

But the odds that happen are so low

small gust
#

ohhh okay yeah fair enough

peak abyss
#

And yeah I have my state schools as safety for sure

small gust
#

stanford upenn also open

peak abyss
#

Doesn’t Stanford have like ten essays

small gust
#

when you get your fin aid package would you mind pinging me and telling me whether its comparable to the net price cost? i dont want exact numbers or anything, i just wanna know if its similar to net price

theyre not even hard

peak abyss
#

yeahhh like he def could be if the rest is good but when it comes down to comparing ppl…

peak abyss
small gust
#

community is recyclable

#

last one also recyclable

peak abyss
#

Identity is too for the most part tbh

small gust
#

and even if not its juts 200 words

solar mural
#

but it looks worse imo

peak abyss
small gust
#

bro even then

solar mural
#

i mean at least he submitted the commonapp essay

small gust
#

why would you not do them if you wanna get in

peak abyss
#

Weren’t some of y’all saying you did it in like 12 mins

solar mural
#

if he aint do that shi woulda been curtains 😭

peak abyss
#

yeah good lol

small gust
peak abyss
#

Time I’m guessing

solar mural
#

he ditched it to do other supps for other schools 😭

peak abyss
small gust
#

plus imo if you dont do it its basically telling them either 1) nu isnt your top choice and you didnt have time (and nu values demonstrated interest so not the best look) or 2) you had no ideas for the rest of them (which is like saying your location sucks or i cant think of a creative class or i wont engage in nu activities like painting the rock or community groups on campus or i dont have an identity)

peak abyss
#

Tbh I saw NU and Uchicago as the same, especially for econ uchic is prolly better but my odds were better with an NU ED from what I could tell so I went with it

peak abyss
solar mural
#

mmmm im not seein it

#

nu top 15 tho i think

small gust
peak abyss
#

general rankings kinda arbitrary imo depends on programs

small gust
#

also i think but i could be wrong uchi is more theoretical and advanced academic whereas nu is more like experience and internship kinda? also nu better for engineering

small gust
peak abyss
#

I’m heavily biased though

small gust
#

if they didnt i might've ed'd nu

#

or uchi

"why even send it LOL"

fathom storm
#

oh wait hold on

#

does northwestern need midyear report?

#

some of these colleges don’t put it on the portal and then be like “where is ur midyear report?”

lucid ocean
#

Your counselor uploads midyear on common app, and whoever needs it can download it, no?

#

That’s what my counselor told me

#

So it doesn’t really matter if a school actually needs a midyear or not, at least it doesn’t matter on ur end cause u don’t have to do anything

#

…unless you fucked up first semester grades

fathom storm
#

i remember when a guy got a warning letter for having a B in AP Physics

#

that’s literally crazy

lucid ocean
#

Jeez

fathom storm
#

A B in AP Physics is hard to get like

lucid ocean
#

Well if he’s had all A’s and A+’s, a B is an eyesore

#

Still unwarranted but yea

fathom storm
#

He had As in everything else tho

#

Like midyear reports should just be looked at as like “Are you doing the work or r u letting in senioritis”

#

a B shouldn’t mean ur slacking off IMO

#

cuz imagine doing a lot of work in that class and that’s the best grade and a college gives u a warning for taking a hard class and get a B

For submitting the Tax Materials it says that the amount should be converted to USD

How should I do that? I can't possibly edit the national tax forms right?
