Yes London

remote prism
#

how much

spare umbra
#

36k total I think

south tinsel
#

same

remote prism
#

nice

#

Maybe it's like they don't want everyone at London to be lower tier than the people on the main campus

#

So they accept a few people who met the standard for the main campus

#

(I'm coping)

remote prism
#

fuck me in particular

topaz moth
#

does anyone know what oaklands acceptance rate is? boston was my first choice but im not complaining

remote prism
topaz moth
#

ohhh ok

remote prism
#

I think they mix them up so you can be higher in the pool and still get sent to a satellite so that they don't have only low tier people on satellite campuses but generally the satellite campuses are easier to get into

#

I think it's about 7% acceptance

covert bone
#

that cant be right

covert bone
remote prism
# covert bone wtf

I think they have the same rate but the pool who is admitted to oakland probably is lower quality

remote prism
fading quail
#

REAL

covert bone
#

well what do i know

#

i got deferred

sand spire
#

reminder to vote☝️🤓

thick drum
#

Wow today rlly surprised me lmfao

#

Two colleges which i never thought id get accepted to accepted me

rustic oak
upper needle
plucky harbor
#

i was in berlin germany

azure zealot
#

or is it like

#

a partner university

warm tinsel
#

congrats y'all

plucky harbor
#

in berlin they have CIEE Berlin

#

thats a cultural exchange center chain that they have in many different countries

#

and they have college courses there

#

professors were pretty decent there from my experience

azure zealot
#

What major are you

plucky harbor
#

not the same as in boston, and campus was obviously was worse and smaller but it was rlly nice and cozy

#

business

azure zealot
#

i see

#

how long is a semester again

#

4 months?

plucky harbor
#

3.5 months

azure zealot
#

Thats insane

#

wair

plucky harbor
#

i like nuin because it helps you explore the world and mature pretty quickly

azure zealot
#

Theres 2 semesters in a year

plucky harbor
#

living and travelling abroad and stuff

azure zealot
#

7 months of education

plucky harbor
#

well

#

fall, spring, summer 1, summer 2

azure zealot
#

Wtf do you do for the other 5

plucky harbor
#

that is if you do summer semesters

plucky harbor
#

for any college

#

theres summer semesters and breaks in between

azure zealot
plucky harbor
#

uhh from midof april to september

#

we start winter early tho

#

january 6th

azure zealot
#

4 MONTHS??

plucky harbor
#

thats weeks earlier than other schools

azure zealot
#

Wtf br😭😭😭😭

plucky harbor
#

yes cus less winter break

#

also if u dont have credits coming in

#

you will likely be taking a summer session at least once at some point

#

because co-ops will usually be taken at least once before you graduate

#

if u have aps/de and all that u can generally avoid it tho

#

thats what im doing

upper needle
#

what kind of acceptance package does neu give out?

plucky harbor
#

id say its definitely worth having co-ops before you graduate even if u have to take summer classes because the experience is invaluable

plucky harbor
#

money wise?

upper needle
#

No like stickers and whatnot lol

plucky harbor
#

oh

#

they barely gave me shit lol

#

but

#

they have lots of events and u can get merch there

upper needle
#

I can't go all the way to boston 😭

#

I just want to collect the packages like pokemon LOL

plucky harbor
#

for nuin they gave me an nuin guidebook and like 3 stickers

#

nothin crazy

upper needle
#

I just want stickers lol

plucky harbor
#

but ive heard of ppl recieving nicer packages?

#

idk how true that is

upper needle
#

eh I'm okay with anything

plucky harbor
#

i still have mine from bing, syracuse, rochester, lehigh, etc

sleek nebula
plucky harbor
#

brandeis gave me hella stickers too and stonybrook

upper needle
#

I have a few but only from bad safety colleges

upper needle
plucky harbor
#

:D

sleek nebula
upper needle
#

exactly

sleek nebula
#

because they emailed it to me

#

at 4 am

#

the day after

#

i paid 80 dollars

upper needle
#

I want to collect packages from non bad safety colleges

sleek nebula
#

what the heck

upper needle
#

That sucks

plucky harbor
#

spam

#

chances are they sent it to you like years ago

upper needle
#

I also got a fee waiver for washu so that was nice

#

the only two good unis I got waivers for

plucky harbor
#

ne didnt give u waivers?

#

they gave me a waiver idk how lol

#

no way i qualify for that

upper needle
#

they sent me the waiver ages ago

#

Forgot when

plucky harbor
#

oh

sleek nebula
plucky harbor
#

zawg

#

neu when not good uni

upper needle
#

But yeah I just check my email for "waiver" or "fee"

plucky harbor
sleek nebula
plucky harbor
#

ohh

#

october 31st

upper needle
#

I love fee waivers

plucky harbor
#

damn

sleek nebula
#

"4:16 AM"

upper needle
#

I got mine pretty early

sleek nebula
#

like come awnnnnn northeastern

plucky harbor
sleek nebula
#

im just not sure like

#

how

plucky harbor
#

did u get in at least

sleek nebula
#

was someone at neu awake at 4am sending out waivers? 😭

sleek nebula
plucky harbor
#

aye at least u got in

sleek nebula
#

no scholarships included in my admissions decision tho 🧐

plucky harbor
#

they dont give out scholarship often

sleek nebula
#

like hey at least gimme dem 80 bucks back plz 🙏

plucky harbor
#

they give it to 10% of students

#

or something like that

#

wait idk how accurate that is

upper needle
plucky harbor
#

10% is probably number for honors college+scholarship

upper needle
#

Idk what they're thinking but I am definitely not that smart

sleek nebula
#

🤷 idunno, but i can NOT afford 90k a yr so i needa get aid somehow

plucky harbor
#

just scholarship (lower number like 10k total or something) is prob a bit higher than 10

steel prairie
plucky harbor
#

its like 85k if u get rid of that medical thingy but

#

still terrible

sleek nebula
sleek nebula
#

if there's a medical cost, it's probably in my best interest to not ignore that

plucky harbor
#

i would definitely cancel it

#

i think its 2k per SEMESTER even

#

they usually notify tho at the start of the semester a bunch of times about it

#

so you wouldnt miss it, and its pretty easy to cancel

#

idk if they have it in oakland but seeing that northeastern owns the oakland campus they probably do

worthy bridge
#

damn basically no one else got into nyc?

#

# glass shore Like is it buns

it’s really cool if you want to study abroad but it’s mostly rich ppl bc when you’re studying internationally you don’t qualify for federal aid

glass shore
#

Did I get it because

#

Is normal campus better

#

In terms of admission

sand spire
#

nobody’s gonna care

#

when people look at your resume or linkedin they’ll think “oh they studied abroad” and not give it a second thought

We'll see in a few weeks or months 🤷‍♀️

sand spire
#

i don’t remember getting stickers last year

#

my acceptance letter was signed by every admissions officer at northeastern tho so that was pretty cool

native horizon
#

do i need to write loci for northeastern if i get deferred?

#

i already got accepted rutgers (which i would rather to go over neu) but i do wanna keep northeastern under consideration

half briar
#

YESSSSSSSSSSSS

half briar
#

uhhhhhh

#

LOL

#

it's good but not AS good as CS

#

the lab profs are reallly good

lime flicker
#

bros in cali 🤫

half briar
#

you get a decent amount of research opportunities as a STEM major there since there was a lot of pre med/bio kids in my cohort

half briar
half briar
#

you take cornerstone of engineering 1+2

#

and depending on what credits you bring in

#

physics, calc, first year writing

#

minor hedge

🫡

inner hill
half briar
#

do CS+CE combined 😝

ivory cave
#

deferred from northeastern

ivory cave
#

Probably like 3%-4%

azure zealot
#

that low?/

ivory cave
#

factor that with northeastern not requiring a fee waiver and no essays, you get over 100k+ applicants for maybe only 4k students

azure zealot
#

are

#

Boston campus only

#

not NUin

minor hedge
#

yeah that’s true

#

their cds only covers boston

manic ore
#

does anyone here have experience bargaining with neu for additional aid

minor hedge
#

last year stats were

boston:2759
oakland:460
london: 635
nuin:1537

#

for a total of 18%

#

acceptance rate overall

#

😮😮

#

even with the addition of nyc scholars the acceptance rate should be the same

novel forum
#

whats nuin

inner hill
minor hedge
#

inner hill
#

#

how is it 18% bruh

minor hedge
#

yeah i would say 450-500

half briar
#

NYC was not available last year

minor hedge
#

because northeastern

#

inner hill
azure zealot
half briar
#

minor hedge
#

half briar

azure zealot
#

boston:2759

#

inner hill
half briar

azure zealot
half briar
#

yeah it should look like that 😭

inner hill
#

ill email

minor hedge
#

most of the large pools come from ea and rd

#

early decision is between 3k-4k

#

and they admit the most from ed

#

which is why rd be so low

half briar
#

but convocation also includes transfer students

#

so

#

shrugs

minor hedge
#

cooked

#

let me in

azure zealot
#

hats insane bro

minor hedge
#

the wait is over screen on february 12th

#

😈

azure zealot
#

10k/98k

#

thats 10%

#

When the fuck was northeastern so selective bro

#

I thought this shit was a safety

half briar
#

it's more like

azure zealot
#

because they gamed everyhting

half briar
#

too many people apply

minor hedge
#

not even selective

#

just too much people

half briar
#

not enough spaces

#

yeah

azure zealot
#

Bro they

#

still gotta

#

like

#

think and admit right

#

Who they do admit

#

they were like

#

hmm competitive enough

#

or something

half briar
#

the number of students that apply each year increase while the number of spots they have for the incoming freshman class stays relatively the same

azure zealot
#

Thats the case for every university

half briar
#

yeah

#

but it was already high enough for northeastern

#

the amt of people applying

azure zealot
#

the sole reason i applied to neu was no app fees

#

like ltierally

minor hedge
#

2023 lowest birth rate year

half briar
#

which is part of the reason why they get sooooo much apps

minor hedge
#

class of 2041 gonna have it easy

#

ngl i was all BU before i discovered northeastern

#

🐈🐈

upper needle
#

Neu > Bu

rustic oak

Your Northeastern education will take you to the West Coast via Oakland, California—and beyond—through abundant global and experiential opportunities that will allow you to meaningfully engage with some of the most critical challenges of our time. After your first year in Oakland, you can seamlessly transition to Northeastern University's Boston campus in your second year of study, or you may choose to stay at Northeastern University Oakland and complete your degree.

starting from 2nd year when you come to boston you get fin aid from FAFSA

crisp cargo
#

But I thought if you do qualify for aid they compensate with their own aid

half briar
#

yeah

#

the school grants

crystal timber
#

i dont think i qualitied

vague skiff
#

That’s why they also have CSS yeah??

cafe suzie is like a convenience store bc it has a lot of snacks and stuff

#

tea shop serves coffee and other drinks, sandwiches, breakfast burritos, etc.

#

this is oakland's dining options website

silver falcon

Got in but got no scholarship or find aid. What's the point of css profile then. Why did they even accepted if they can't afford

hearty hatch
#

They’re insane

woeful spade
#

Harvard = Mit >>>> Boston College > Boston university >>>>> Northeastern > Tufts

#

is this fact

woeful spade
#

id probably that is below tufts

#

ngl id say UMass Amherst > WPI

remote prism
#

Also Umass isn't a Boston school

woeful spade
#

fair...

remote prism
#

WPI is in the CSA

#

Harvard = Mit >>>>>>> Boston University > Boston College >>> Northeastern > Tufts >> WPI > Babson

#

Babson is pretty good for business tho

Indiana university

No Indiana..

oak palm
#

Well, there is technically an "Indiana University of Pennsylvania," but I doubt that was the one initially being referred to.

upper needle
#

no way x_x

#

People need to stop naming their universities the same name as a city/state that they're not in 😭

😭

near sedge

#

Also the difference between NEU and BU is not as big as you would think

#

Literally every college ranking is subjective

#

Different majors at different colleges are ranked differenty

#

This is why US News rankings and other rankings kinda suck

#

Like US News has princeton at number 1 but if i did engineering id go to mit

#

Or if i was a bio major id go to BU over NEU

oak palm
#

I rank my top colleges based on their elevation above sea level. I think it's pretty objective. >:)

unique hornet
#

D you guys know about how many students god deferred

crisp cargo
#

Nobody will know because they dont release EA stats

unique hornet
#

I see

remote prism
#

They only reject you if you were YOLOing

woeful spade
#

i think neu accepts most of its applicants during ed/ea phases

crisp cargo
#

based off what I've seen a lot of EA kids got merit scholarships/honors college, more than ive seen ED kids get

#

It makes sense considering you might ED just to get a leg up on getting into the school

woeful spade
#

i think out the boston area colleges, NEU is def the most lenient

remote prism
woeful spade
#

and most accepting to students who arent as academically gifted

crisp cargo

$2500
