Northeastern University (NEU) (2024-2025)

[remote prism]

Also you guys forgot

Olin

[woeful spade]

isnt olin far away tho

idk

[remote prism]

It's in Needham

[crisp cargo]

Umass amherst vs. Northeastern?

[woeful spade]

id say neu

but its not by as much as ppl think

Umass amherst is the most underrated university of the state school imo

[crisp cargo]

nah

[woeful spade]

mayb behind UMinn

[crisp cargo]

its pretty well rated

[remote prism]

Should I northeastern folks if they are making me do London for a year

[crisp cargo]

if ur paying full tuition then probably not

[woeful spade]

also dont mind my boston college glazing

i love BC

[crisp cargo]

or if u can afford it then go ahead

BC is my fav boston campus

BU is the worst campus in boston easily

[woeful spade]

its so mid

[woeful spade]

ITS SO COOL

[crisp cargo]

yep

[woeful spade]

objectively its the only boston school with power 5 football

[sand spire]

bc is not a great football team tho lol

[woeful spade]

its decent

it can be a LOT worse

[sand spire]

its a power 5 school in the way northwestern and vanderbilt are power 5 schools

[crisp cargo]

also u gotta remember its a jesuit school so if u dont fw that then be aware

[woeful spade]

vandy did amazing this year

[woeful spade]

i do fw that ngl

only thing idk if i fw is that the whole campus is on a hill LMAO

[sand spire]

after over 60 years straight of losing to bama lol

[woeful spade]

fair

[crisp cargo]

have you visited it?

ur at usc @sand spire

?

[sand spire]

not dissing vandy but like. every conference has a high-ranking school thats not great but its there

[sand spire]

yes

[crisp cargo]

how do you like it?

[sand spire]

its been pretty great overall

it has its flaws like every school but there are few colleges that have both incredibly rigorous academics and historically dominant athletic programs

[crisp cargo]

thats nice to hear

[sand spire]

its a lot of fun especially since im in band and go to a ton of games

[crisp cargo]

oh wow

is that through the school?

[sand spire]

we have a chance at the natty in womens basketball this year so its very hype

[surreal schooner]

No poll?

[near sedge]

@surreal schooner you might be blind

jk!

[surreal schooner]

I was too lazy to scroll up that far.

[near sedge]

its pinned

😡

[surreal schooner]

I'm too lazy to open pins.

[minor hedge]

northeastern> all of them

[plucky harbor]

what the heeeell

tufts is pretty specialized in specific fields so i definitely wouldnt put it that low

also as a northeastern student i must say neu>bu

thats just my bias ofc but

no campus + worst grade deflation + no co-ops (when we look at "prestige", it is based on how jobs look at students from these colleges, and thats exactly what co-op offers)

ok done yapping LOL

[keen crown]

Wentworth= nobody cares about it

[cunning lake]

i can ask my brother but pretty sure if u go in the early morning it’s prob better

[languid grail]

Harvard = MIT > Tufts > BC > BU > NEU > babson > wpi

[cunning lake]

imo neu better than bu but largely agree

[languid grail]

I can’t lie NEU’s prestige is 100% fake in my opinion

They run the school like a business and are trying everything in there power to drive down acceptance rates etc

[cunning lake]

i largely agree

but i’m ngl all prestige is to a certain extent fake

all of the ivies did the exact same thing only they did it like 60 years ago instead of 20 or 10

i think the only thing fully not legit is just only reporting boston campus acceptance rate tho

[languid grail]

And the fee waivers + no essays to maximize apps

[opal socket]

For the ed1 poll, nobody got in Oakland campus?

[hearty hatch]

Ig not

[minor hedge]

mostly everybody got into boston

it make sense since cause northeastern pulls boston campus people mainly from early rounds

[opal socket]

Bias?

[minor hedge]

yeah

northeastern loves ed people

that’s why very few got rejected

[short tulip]

response bias probably

[opal socket]

Prolly a combo of all

[crisp cargo]

Some people did but not all applicants are represented in this server

[plucky harbor]

This is a2c..

The actual statistics look MUCH different I can tell you that as I’ve seen it unfold at my own high school

[crisp cargo]

Yeah like over a 1,000 ed applicants get rejected right?

[plucky harbor]

I think more

[short tulip]

iirc around 2200 ed applicants and 800 get accepted

[minor hedge]

i’m just glad i’m still it in

if we base it off the same numbers last year

around 3500 applied ed 1

i can only find one site

with this years numbers for ed 1

3600 applied 1400 accepted

for boston

[opal socket]

Big % for Boston

[sand spire]

obligatory reminder to vote if you haven’t already

ignore the fact that i spelled deferred wrong i was under a lot of pressure w the 18367374 different campuses

[short tulip]

hey u spelled deferred wrong

[wild vigil]

wait does NEU release merit scholarship decisions with the acceptance letter? or does it come out at a later date

[crisp cargo]

yup

first one

[gray vortex]

10 day countdown for ed2

[crisp cargo]

GL to ed2s

[minor hedge]

take me in

[woeful spade]

[short tulip]

gl guys

[hearty hatch]

GL YALL

[glossy current]

go to mass ave at 2am you might find some

[woeful spade]

thx bro i rlly needed that

[glossy current]

california university of pennsylvania is in california, pennsylvania

[sand spire]

actually it’s called pennsylvania western university, california now☝️🤓

smaller pa public universities so deep in the trenches the state is pulling a northeastern on them

[sour oasis]

hi tuna my goat

never see u here

[glossy current]

yo whats good

[agile trellis]

Why are so many ppl w low gpas getting into this jit

[twin vector]

Should i send a loci if i was deferred

and if so where do i send it

I dont really have monumental new info

[fading socket]

even tho im technically in this demographic, getting admitted to boston as a non-ed applicant is as hard as it gets

nonetheless the avg gpa for accepted boston students is what a 4.1 or something

[agile trellis]

What abt nu.in

Since its only semester

[fading socket]

thats not boston tho

[agile trellis]

Is it the same level as the london and oakland stuff

Or a bit better

[fading socket]

i mean... not really no

[half briar]

only if you want to yk

shows interest

that you want to come here and stuff

there's an option in the portal

all the alternate first year programs are the same imo

[fading socket]

cuz like even tho its boston, its after the first semester to stagger people and they tend to put less competitive kids that get in to nu.in vs london or oakland

oaklands good too though afaik

[twin vector]

is it "defferred new information"?

[fading socket]

ik that during ed1 someone ranked london first and got boston 💀

[half briar]

should be under the file upload section no?

[twin vector]

i only see these

[agile trellis]

interesting

[worthy bridge]

if you had to guess do you think nyc is gonna be around that same level of “less competitiveness” seeing how small mmc itself is, or atleast given the share of neu students for now

cause i got in second choice nyc first boston but seeing how many people actually got into nyc on the poll reddit etc compared to the other campuses makes it feel weird

[half briar]

keep in mind you are part of the first cohort of the nyc scholars so they're probably keeping it small for now to see how it goes

[worthy bridge]

fair enough

[half briar]

put it in that one then but if you don't have new info i'd say wait a bit before writing your LOCI? also depends on if you really wanna come here

[fading socket]

ngl the ea round has the first nyc folks ive seen

[worthy bridge]

damn actually?

[fading socket]

most kids who did ed1 got boston

[minor hedge]

someone who put nyc first got rejected

[fading socket]

just looked at the 2029 page and before ea it was like 80% boston 15% london 5% anything else (obv a ballpark)

[worthy bridge]

oh wow

[fading socket]

nuin was also up there but idt oakland and nyc were prominent at all

[minor hedge]

i ain’t see a single nyc

[fading socket]

ed admits typically get boston even if u didnt rank it first

[minor hedge]

i remember seeing mostly boston and london

[fading socket]

i mentioned earlier smb put london first and still got a non binding decision @ boston 💀

so idk how their placement works

[minor hedge]

they tryna keep that yield rate zero

which is why i think they defer ed a lot they don’t wanna give kids alternative campuses knowing they probably will deny the offer

maybe this just me coping tho

🤷‍♂️

[crisp cargo]

yeah I think I saw that too 😭

[surreal schooner]

😂

[hearty hatch]

I put NYC first and got Oakland instead lol, idk how they even choose 💀

I’m just shocked I even got in 😅

[hearty hatch]

True and that’s probably why they put most ED kids in Boston cause it’s binding

[half briar]

only getting your first choice is binding for ED

ngl i see the AOs reading our apps and being like oh yes this kid fits the vibe of this campus

[fading socket]

thats what im thinking as well

[hearty hatch]

I wonder if AO saw that I lived in California before 😅

[fading socket]

cuz i think each campus has (or will have) their own strengths and weaknesses

[half briar]

definitely

[fading socket]

like oakland w cs for example

[half briar]

yeap

i love the CS profs at oakland they're so cool and nice

[hearty hatch]

Is cs at Oakland good?

[half briar]

it's better than boston

i'll tell you that

[minor hedge]

nyc weakness is that you gonna get pickpocketed the moment you step outside of campus

😭😭😭

[half briar]

💀

[minor hedge]

them manhattan crackheads no joke

[fading socket]

i mean oakland isnt in a good area either no

[hearty hatch]

I’m doing psychology so idk how psych is there

[minor hedge]

oakland is mid too

but the campus area itself

is nice

[half briar]

no one really goes outside of campus other than for berkeley at oakland LOL

[fading socket]

and boston tho i love boston has its issues if u go to the wrong spots

[half briar]

or SF

[hearty hatch]

Trueee

[half briar]

the psych prof i had was so cool

dr. dean morier

he teaches the foundations of psych class

[hearty hatch]

Ooh ok

[minor hedge]

boston chill but anything past 2 am

[hearty hatch]

Nice

[minor hedge]

lowkey be careful

[fading socket]

its in a good spot for the most part but like students like to act like they are locals when theyve only been to one neighborhood and its really annoying

this one guy in an ig interview said that dorchester was the spot for thrift stores and then started naming places in jamaica plain

two different sides of the city dawg

its the kinda city where if ur not dumb and mind ur business u will be fine

theres the occasional crashout on the mbta but all of the bus and train lines that pass thru neu’s campus dont really have this problem until u get to a certain point

[cunning lake]

istg it's so annoying how neu's non boston campusses like suck

they try to be like actual universities not just sub universities to the main campus but in going for that they basically just ignore everything else

like legit none of the other campusses have a pure mathematics degree aside from nu.in programs 😭

[glossy current]

this

boston is relatively safe compared to most other major cities

[wild vigil]

is neu oakland less selective than getting into boston? or is it just because of space issues. Ik multiple ppl who got deans scholarship but have to go to oakland first year which is just confusing 😭

[twin vector]

Does northeastern give scholarships to RD people

[fading socket]

i mean yeah obv

[half briar]

space issues

basically

[wild vigil]

damn alr

im gonna have a hard time deciding between neu or uw-madison or umd for cs 😭

[fading socket]

go where the money is

[wild vigil]

money isn't an issue for me (thankfully), just want the best opportunities to get faang+ positions after graduation

[half briar]

it's CS so what matters is more of your own skill and experience than where you graduate from ngl

[minor hedge]

i’m gonna be devasted if the aid is bad

[fading socket]

technically speaking neu is up there then but obviously its not just the school that will get u there but the opportunities u make the most of

even tho its not like a hub per se, boston is a great city for tech (like after first yr, and since oakland is good for cs u get best of both worlds?) and imo has good co op employers to which u can bolster ur resume

[minor hedge]

i’m so poor

[fading socket]

oh then ur fine

[minor hedge]

so there’s no way i don’t get everything basically paid off

[fading socket]

if ur family has assets u might be screwed tho

[minor hedge]

bro they got nothing

[fading socket]

like a small business or a house

[fading socket]

oh ur fine then

[minor hedge]

they need to let me in tho😭🙏

i ain’t never glazed this hard

[fading socket]

im in the same situation and dont have to pay an obscene amt

ik smb with an sai of -1500 that only has to pay like 3k? which its a nonzero amt and not a full ride but work study + scholarships can fill the gap yk

[wild vigil]

yeah co-ops are the most appealing thing about neu, I'm just worried about it being ranked so low (which is super stupid ik)

[minor hedge]

yeah i got a -1500 sai score too

but i got like 6k in scholarships rn

[fading socket]

oh so ur probably good then

[minor hedge]

so i don’t mind having to pay like 3-5k

[fading socket]

it’s not ranked that low ngl

[half briar]

you can always fight them for more aid if they don't give you enough

[sleek nebula]

Ya, fafsa over here giving me jack sheet bc my parents own a house 😥

[fading socket]

i mean its t50-adjacent and t30 for cs on us news, t15 on cs rankings

and given how theres hundreds of universities thats not really bad

[worthy bridge]

on this note guys is it even worth accepting nyc scholars since they dont allow federal or state aid 😓😓

[fading socket]

sure theres gonna be smb whispering in ur ear that neu is a shit school but evb says that ab anywhere atp

[minor hedge]

why wouldn’t they?

[worthy bridge]

thats their policy

[minor hedge]

really

zamn

[worthy bridge]

nyc scholars doesnt allow federal or state aid first year

yeahhhh

[half briar]

it's bc all non boston campus admits are non-matriculated

[wild vigil]

yeah thats valid, but UW-madison being 13th for cs seems a bit better than northeastern being 27th

[minor hedge]

don’t ship me off to nyc then

😭🙏

[half briar]

you're basically considered a "transfer"

which is also why the other campuses are not counted for the AR and everything else

[minor hedge]

so do you still get aid from the school?

[worthy bridge]

😭😭 its cooked man

[minor hedge]

if you get shipped off to the other campuses

[half briar]

yaur

[fading socket]

u get need based aid

[half briar]

only scholarships and school grants

[fading socket]

but federal and state grants dont apply till second year and on

[half briar]

no federal aid

yaur

[minor hedge]

how much aid did you get

it could not be joeover yet

[fading socket]

wait where r u from

[minor hedge]

florida

but was born in the hood of massachusetts

idk if they look at that or not

🤷‍♂️

[fading socket]

the hood 😭

[minor hedge]

lawrence rep

😈

[fading socket]

i mean they look at where ur from when ur applying but idk if being born in mass will help dawg

[fading socket]

oh i knew smb from there

[minor hedge]

i lived on like the border between methuen and lawrence so i ain’t see all the shit that went down

[minor hedge]

i don’t think that has an affect on where they send you

or does it?

[half briar]

does not

ik way too many ppl from jersey and NY in my program

there's also a decent amt from mass

[minor hedge]

i just know wherever they send me

i’m going

feb 12th i’m getting that card ready

[fading socket]

bros saving up the 600 dollar deposit

😭😭😭

[minor hedge]

😭

[cunning lake]

tbh i think it's sorta hard to compare safety between cities

at least for me boston felt like the least safe of any of the major cities i've been to 😭

[glossy current]

interesting

[cunning lake]

was prob cuz i went to mattapan but i've been in worse areas in "worse" cities with zero issues at all

[glossy current]

oh i see

but also yeah idk if mattapan is the place to be 💀

[cunning lake]

yeah

idk it's just like for me the bad areas in boston are lowkey really bad but everywhere else felt really safe

[glossy current]

plus its gonna vary anyway

im a guy and have an ok build so im probably less of a target for creeps

other people likely have a different experience

[glossy current]

yeah areas near neu are chill

theres a few tweakers at night on mass ave and also near the el jefes/college convenience area
but thats about it

[cunning lake]

yeah neu was completely fine lol

idk tbh maybe mattapan just uniquely fucked up cuz i was staying in roxbury and felt fine there 😭

[glossy current]

😭

yeah tbh i think roxbury isnt as bad as ppl make it out to be

[cunning lake]

idk it's prob cuz there's alot of neu students there now 😭

[glossy current]

true

✨ gentrification ✨

(technically i live in roxbury too making me part of the problem lol)

[cunning lake]

the crazy part is just that it's gentrification just to gentrify (like the housing is cheap and that's it) like the public transport and shit there is kinda ass im ngl

[glossy current]

yeah lol

i wouldnt wanna live too deep into there just bc i dont wanna be that far from a train

[fading socket]

ok ya but its mattapan

so i feel like thats as bad as it gets

[glossy current]

if ur near the orange line ur chilling

[cunning lake]

yeah was staying at my brother's apartment and he lives like pretty far out 😭

[fading socket]

honestly the entire boston part of the orange line is gentrified to hell and back

you could drag it all the way out to assembly tbh

[cunning lake]

tbh it's fairly walkable eitherway but like boston is cold asf in the winter so biking really isn't an option

[fading socket]

biking downtown is lowkey a nightmare

[glossy current]

lmao assembly

[fading socket]

hell traversing downtown in general is a nightmare

[glossy current]

everything theres brand new from what i remember

[fading socket]

oh yeah fs

[cunning lake]

the entire green line is gentrified but moreso in the sense that everybody on the green line is just rich asf 😭

[fading socket]

my mom used to take me there a couple years ago and half of the stores have been replaced or expanded it’s crazy

[fading socket]

the green line isnt a real line

[glossy current]

ah damn

didnt know there was anything there at all beforehand

[fading socket]

so much of the e line is just the orange line but a block away

[glossy current]

lol yeah
although the glx is nice i guess

[cunning lake]

ermmm askhually the d line is a real line because it reused the tremont street subway 🤓

[fading socket]

idt u can get double deferred

[glossy current]

i love the d line

its a speedy boi

[cunning lake]

they have so much super elevation on the curves it's crazy

[fading socket]

i mean they probably do but like u already got deferred once

[half briar]

ED2 is waitlist

iirc

no deferral to RD

[fading socket]

oh damn

so they bringing out the waitlist starting w ed2? makes sense

[half briar]

yeap

[fading socket]

one time i ended up in union sq bc i didnt know the directions of the e and d line at lechmere 😭

glx to medford is fun tho

now i can annoy my tufts friends

🤫

[glossy current]

other than the sections yall just mentioned
i prefer orange line any day

[cunning lake]

i gave instructions to this person on the red line even tho i don't live in boston 😭

train autism makes me built diff

[glossy current]

bigger cars + more cars per train + faster

[cunning lake]

orange line is so unreliable tho

[glossy current]

its had its fair share of signal issues

[fading socket]

orange line is fire

[glossy current]

but its been decent lately

its so fast now

[cunning lake]

red line is so ass tho im ngl

[fading socket]

like it went from the worst to the best

[glossy current]

i'll be at dtx then i blink and im at back bay

[cunning lake]

blue line easily the best line

[glossy current]

i can get behind this

its the most reliable fs

[cunning lake]

it just doesn't go anywhere in downtown 😭

[fading socket]

wdym yes it down

[glossy current]

it hits govt center

[fading socket]

the first 3 stops r lit bowdoin, govt ctr, state

[sleek nebula]

Damn why is neu thread always so active? Is it bc there were so many applicants?

[glossy current]

but red blue connector shouldve been built long ago

[cunning lake]

bowdoin is not a real station

[fading socket]

touche

[cunning lake]

2 stops in downtown is nothing

[glossy current]

technically theres 4 if u include aquarium

but i mean
its a useful line if u wanna get anywhere in eastie

[fading socket]

i mean tbf the green line only has like boylston… park st… govt ctr and then we r getting a bit crazy w haymarket

[glossy current]

ik the average person doesnt go to eastie but i like plane spotting and most of the good spots are out there

[cunning lake]

also eitherway all the stops in downtown are right next to eachother

[fading socket]

i think thats js cuz downtown is p small in general

[cunning lake]

whatever u do, DO NOT TAKE THE SILVER LINE FROM BOSTON LOGAN AIRPORT worst mistake ever

[fading socket]

like once u leave that walking area of dtx ur either in north or west end

[fading socket]

WDYM ITS GOOD

[glossy current]

wdym ive done this before its chill

[cunning lake]

U GET STUCK IN TRAFFIC FOR 100000 years

[glossy current]

tbf, it was at 1am

[fading socket]

i took it at like 11pm

[cunning lake]

YEAH THAT'S WHy

there's no traffic

[fading socket]

see like its great for late arrivals

but i mean doesnt it take the tunnels

so its obv gonna have traffic

[glossy current]

for a 6am flight (i didnt wanna pay for an uber so i camped out the night before)

[fading socket]

tb to when the tunnel was closed all summer

[glossy current]

oh hell nah

yeah im just glad i dont have to fly to get home

that flight was for another thing

[fading socket]

honestly im js glad i dont have to figure out move in

[glossy current]

going home for me is mad easy bc i just go to back bay and take the amtrak

[fading socket]

cuz ppl flying from like the other side of the world r crazy w their like 6 checked bags n shi

[cunning lake]

airport station on the blue is cool tho

[glossy current]

oh yeah thats insane

[cunning lake]

when it goes from overhead to third rail

[glossy current]

was about to say this

[fading socket]

hmm thats interesting

i rarely take the blue and have never taken it past aquarium

[cunning lake]

idk im ngl there's nothing to do past airport station

unless u go to the beach

[glossy current]

blue line is cool tho u can hit maverick, constitution beach, and revere beach

[fading socket]

true

but isnt constitution beach by cc on the orange line

[glossy current]

nah its in orient heights

[fading socket]

oh wait

sorry i was thinking of constitution wharf

[glossy current]

oh ye that

i still have yet to explore that area

[fading socket]

i need to explore the northern half of the city more

[glossy current]

only time ive taken orange line from cc was when i was mad bored and walked all the way up there and needed a way to get back

[fading socket]

def will in college but like growing up i had no business in the north or west end

[cunning lake]

tbh nothing happens on northern half of boston

[fading socket]

ppl always post ab the italian food in the north end but like

thats the only thing there 💀 …

[glossy current]

yeah its pretty cool still

west end is like

[cunning lake]

during my bu tour the guide talked abt a place there

and it was overpriced

[glossy current]

idk whats in west end other than td garden

[cunning lake]

idk that's my only comment on it

[fading socket]

north sta ig but thats literally the same place

ih wait

[cunning lake]

tbh i just realized

[fading socket]

museum of science is west end

[cunning lake]

the 3 boston colleges i applied to were all the ones i did not go on tours on 😭

[fading socket]

which ones??

[cunning lake]

Boston College, NEU, and Tufts

oh wait also brandeis

yeah 4

[fading socket]

hmm icic

[cunning lake]

i did not go on tour to brandeis either tho

[glossy current]

oh ye this

havent been there in forever

[cunning lake]

i did tour to NEU tho

[fading socket]

ngl brandeis is disconnected to the rest of the greater boston college network

[cunning lake]

i forgot mention that

[glossy current]

neu is the only boston school i applied to

[cunning lake]

yeah but waltham ma 😍 ❤️ 🫶

[glossy current]

was gonna do bu but didnt like their lack of a campus

[fading socket]

p much all but one of my schools is in mass if not boston

[glossy current]

damn

[fading socket]

“bu beach” wtf is that bro 😭

[glossy current]

i applied all over but funny enough every school i got into was in ny (my home state) or mass

[cunning lake]

idk i thought bu was cool

but the vibes i get from there are like

rich ppl that sound annoying

[glossy current]

bu is nice location wise but thats it

[glossy current]

wait until bro hears about bc

[fading socket]

the way i can think of someone instantly that fits this description that got into bu ed

[cunning lake]

they are like

different type of annoying

[fading socket]

now bu a2cers are chill but that stops once u check the 2029 page

[cunning lake]

bu must go hard as a business major

[fading socket]

the jenga building is really cool tho at bu

[cunning lake]

that typa annoying

[fading socket]

fun to break into!

[glossy current]

real

[cunning lake]

at mit

i just walked around the basement

level cuz there's no security entry stuff there u can just walk in 😭

[glossy current]

ive met some mit ppl and theyre pretty cool

went to some event at mit

[fading socket]

for a lot of schools they r pretty open i feel

[glossy current]

yeah

[fading socket]

minus like harvard

[cunning lake]

tbh mit actually seemed really cool and i'd def fw the vibes

but like 0% chance i'd get in so i didn't apply

[fading socket]

same 😭

[glossy current]

harvard closed down to outsiders during protests iirc

[minor hedge]

harvard isn’t open??

[cunning lake]

if i do grad maybe but that's 500 years in the future

[minor hedge]

cooked

[glossy current]

as in they werent letting ppl on their campus other than their own students

[minor hedge]

mit was my dream school

and then i realized i wasn’t built for it

[glossy current]

since protests were going on

last spring

[minor hedge]

maybe in the next 4 years

[cunning lake]

i never had a dream school cuz i didn't want my dreams to get crushed 🙏

[glossy current]

funny enough

my dream school was cornell

[minor hedge]

northeastern my dream school rn

[glossy current]

but looking back at it im glad im in boston and not ithaca new york (ithaca aint bad but theres not much around there)

[minor hedge]

i discovered it while looking at schools in boston

as my backup to BU

[glossy current]

W

[fading socket]

sucks to bu

except for bu friends but the rest of them suck

[cunning lake]

cornell is so cool

aside from the location 😭

[glossy current]

yeah lol

their campus is mad pretty

and theyre rlly good for cs too

[fading socket]

one of my friends got in via qb!

[cunning lake]

idk they have a really cool campus on roosevelt island

for grad engineering

or smth like that

[glossy current]

oh ive heard of this

was on roosevelt island last summer and saw some signs for it

[cunning lake]

yeah it's so cool

[minor hedge]

td garden 🥹

[cunning lake]

i frolicked in their field they have

[wispy pine]

suny ithaca

[glossy current]

umass cambridge

uri providence

uconn new haven

unh hanover

[cunning lake]

rutger's princeton

[glossy current]

penn state philadelphia

[cunning lake]

umass dartmouth is better

[fading socket]

when ppl say umd and im thinking of umass dartmouth

[glossy current]

cuny morningside heights

[cunning lake]

columbia community college

tbh columbia is like the least memorable of the ivies

[glossy current]

fenway-kenmore community college

[fading socket]

really? i would’ve thought dartmouth

[cunning lake]

i mean like

[minor hedge]

columbia is my favorite ivy

😭😭😭

[cunning lake]

dartmouth is like memorable from how much i dislike it

[glossy current]

dartmouth and cornell are the middle of nowhere ivies

but dartmouth seems more middle of nowhere

at least cornell is bigger

[cunning lake]

dartmouth is more middle of nowhere

but cornell is in like a weird in between

where it's like kinda somewhere but not rlly

[glossy current]

ithaca is technically a "city"

it has a nice little downtown

stayed there for a few days

[cunning lake]

tbh i prob should've applied to cornell just bc

but idk

[glossy current]

tbh i feel like if i applied to cornell ED id have a good shot

considering i got waitlisted RD

didnt do it for financial reasons but i dont rlly regret it anymore

[cunning lake]

smartest kid from my school got into cornell ed 😭

[glossy current]

damn

everyone at my hs was cornell glazers so we had a lot of ED applicants (only 2 got in)

[minor hedge]

i know a girl from my school who got cornell ed too

[cunning lake]

idk tbh i think at certain point there isn't smartest or smth here but he's smart + hardworking

my school small asf tho so like yeah

[minor hedge]

my senior class dropped by 100 kids in a year

🤷‍♂️

[plucky harbor]

as someone who did nuin, the stats are identical

ive spoken with ppl in boston campus and nuin and they both had a similar demographic for gpas and sat

[fading socket]

ive seen ppl all over tho

[plucky harbor]

ofc

[fading socket]

but that kinda goes for everywhere

[plucky harbor]

yeah thats what i mean

neu doesnt accept people to different campuses based on their scores thats a myth

the only thing that people with top top grades and sat get

is honors college/scholarships

just like any other school

[cunning lake]

??? last year 3 kids at my school got into harvard

[plucky harbor]

although at neu its pretty tough to get considering the students who are accepted are already good in general

[cunning lake]

wtf

[minor hedge]

valedictorian from my school got into harvard

my school lowkey ghetto asf so it’s nice to see some people make it out the trenches

[cunning lake]

idk what's kinda crazy is that this year is like honestly more cracked and so far looks worse

Oakland looks so nice imo

[glossy current]

but there are singles

[ocean ermine]

just kidding i love this campus so much

oakland is legit so fire

[crisp cargo]

I would have wanted to spend a year there

[ocean ermine]

ONLY problem is the dining hall

[glossy current]

a lot of 5 ppl apartments so 2+2+1

[ocean ermine]

food is inedible

[crisp cargo]

lmfao

[glossy current]

im not on the meal plan whatsoever

[ocean ermine]

and u cant go anywhere since we're in the suburbs

[glossy current]

once ur in an apartment style dorm u can get off the meal plan

[ocean ermine]

gotta tkae a 40 min uber to sf

but genuinely best experience fr

[ocean ermine]

oh

[crisp cargo]

is it just luck for housing sophomore year?

[ocean ermine]

my meal plan is free ^.^

[glossy current]

its lottery

[crisp cargo]

Soooo luck

[glossy current]

yes

pray that someone in ur group gets a good number

then pick

and most ppl still get fucked over

[crisp cargo]

that’s really dumb considering you’re forced to stay in the housing

[glossy current]

yeah lol ik a bunch of ppl in IV/sheraton for second year

[crisp cargo]

lowkey I’d go to Sheraton than the forced doubles in IV

[glossy current]

yeah

i was in a forced double for summer 1

[glossy current]

its bearable for a 2 month summer term
but not all year

yes

the sheraton

i have a bunch of friends there

the rooms are pretty big but its far

[crisp cargo]

Did you transfer in with a lot of ap credits

[glossy current]

maybe for nuin but not if ur boston

[glossy current]

yeah id say so
at least it was more than the max amount they allowed

[crisp cargo]

damn

And you still had to stay for the summer? What’s ur major?

[glossy current]

i chose to stay for summer

didnt have to

[crisp cargo]

Oh W

[glossy current]

also im cs lol

[crisp cargo]

What was the experience like

[glossy current]

i wanted to get OOD done with over the summer, rather than suffer through it in the fall

[crisp cargo]

I’m not going in with a lot of ap credits so I’m prolly gonna have to do summer a lot

[glossy current]

i rlly liked summer term actually

weather is nicer

less ppl on campus

gym is way more usable

[crisp cargo]

mmm I see

[glossy current]

only downside is the dining hall food is ass in the summer

[glossy current]

i was in a weird situation where this actually saves me money

[crisp cargo]

Do you go on coop first sem junior year

[glossy current]

[glossy current]

i pay around 60k and thats a stretch for us

[wise schooner]

they were so nice

when i asked them for more aid

LOL

[glossy current]

this is so wholesome

[wise schooner]

NYU told me to fuck off

[crisp cargo]

Damn that’s awesome

[wise schooner]

so

frfr ngl regret not going

but oh well

[crisp cargo]

damn 60k but I guess anything is better than 93k

It’s probably gonna be like 100k next year

Idk what is even changing for the price to go up this much

[glossy current]

yeah still a lot ofc

but then i remember ppl out there paying 1.5x what i am

[crisp cargo]

yeah that’s wild

[hearty hatch]

Thank god they actually gave me aid 😅 I couldn’t imagine paying over 60-90K 💀

[minor hedge]

i would pay full tuition

😈😈

[hearty hatch]

Ngl same but when it’s my parents paying 💀

They would flip

You applied ED2 right?

[minor hedge]

yes

9 days left

[hearty hatch]

Hopefully since ED is binding they’ll give you SOME type of aid

[hearty hatch]

Ooh good luck! 🙌

[minor hedge]

i been through ed 1 and then i glazed them for 2 months

and now i’m back for ed 2

😭🙏

[hearty hatch]

😭😂

[surreal schooner]

I did EA and got deferred to RD.

[minor hedge]

did ea not get the option for ed2?

[surreal schooner]

I didn't choose ED2.

Northeastern is great, but not THAT great personally.

[minor hedge]

🤔

northeastern best school in massachusetts

🤷‍♂️

[surreal schooner]

I don't live in MA.

Also Harvard and MIT >

[minor hedge]

not even close

midvard

[surreal schooner]

Coping mechanisms

[minor hedge]

i respect mit tho

[worthy bridge]

so you see

what had happened was

i did not realize i said no to financial aid status until it was far too late 💀

[minor hedge]

bruhhhh

[worthy bridge]

if i can get it overturned ill lyk how much ill get

[fading socket]

fed + state grants no, need based yes

so like ur not cooked entirely but if u r relying on like pell ur cooked

[late scarab]

do you mind if i could dm you

[glossy current]

sure

[broken vault]

i might have to reject them cuz 90sm k is way too much

even if i get in ed2

[upper idol]

orth astern

[minor hedge]

take me in

[crisp cargo]

Ik people that have gotten incredible aid and got in ED so if u genuinely need it they will provide

[gray vortex]

counselors dont release midyears for me till next week

but iisnt that when ed2 releases

[novel forum]

lmao same

[gray vortex]

so what r the chances theyd even se eit

bruhhh

[novel forum]

you can add mp1 grades if you have them to the coursework and grades form

you could also email them and ask for an exception

maybe they'll delay your decision for a day or two if your grades make a big difference

worth a shot

especially if your grades are good

[gray vortex]

ohh? i didnt know you could do that

thanks

[novel forum]

i did it by making the start day the first day of class (09/24), then putting in my grade, and putting the credits as 1/4 of the normal amount (1.25 for me). then, just put 02/25 start day and the rest of the credits (3.75 for me) and "in progress"

[gray vortex]

interesting, i think im going to call them to ask if i should do that

but definitely i hope they see my midyear

gl on acceptance dawg

[hearty hatch]

It is a lot

[plucky harbor]

nah they dont rlly do that

you could send mp1 grade but different schools may have different reqs as to what theyd want

although id see northeastern would be one of the schools that might accept it

mid year report tho can be sent closer to the admissions date

like a week to two before probably

[shut oyster]

yeah no school is worth 90k

get yoself outta there

😭

[minor hedge]

🤔

[minor hedge]

dm what happens

cause i only updated the self reported grades

but i asked my counselor to send grades like yesterday

[inner hill]

rah rah rah

[gray vortex]

did you put “in progress” for this year’s classes

or did u do it by term and put in mid year grades

[minor hedge]

at the beginning it was just in progress

but after my grades were finalized

i changed the credit earned to .5

and put the grade i got

but idk if they want the actual form that has my grades or if they are fine with just updating grades on the course form

[gray vortex]

your grades get finalized?

my school year is split into 4 terms

im on call rn but theyve put me on hold for like 20 mins

[minor hedge]

my school is 4 quarters but only the semesters count towards your gpa

so i updated after my semester grades were finalized

[gray vortex]

hmm

alr, imma js see if they want me to add in term grades too

ok js got off the call

they told me to do p much what 0z30 said

[agile trellis]

are we supposed to submit mid year report if we were accepted

[novel forum]

I think you only need your final transcript if you enroll

[agile trellis]

ok

[minor hedge]

8 days left

[crisp cargo]

Any chance it comes out tomorrow?

[novel forum]

doubt it

it's always been ~2 weeks from ea to ed2

could be though

but the portal still lets you change to rd

and i think they close that option a few days before or the day before

[crisp cargo]

damn

tuff

Any reason why?

[agile trellis]

Agreed good decision

[wispy pine]

r u gonna ed2 smwhere else

[novel forum]

i think it's way too late to switch

like nyu on jan 8 was too late lol

[broken vault]

me too

i shouldve ea

i wouldve gotten in

how

[fading socket]

that's only cuz ea has the possibility of deferral

deferrals aside both ea and rd r competitive

that’s not improbable but that info isn’t available anyway

[minor hedge]

nah tomorrow is deadline for deferral applicants

it’s the following week

hell nah

😭😭

by the time they get to rd they got like 100 spots at most for boston

[fading socket]

they fill up half the class with ed1+2 so like by next week half the boston spots r gone anyway

[south oak]

wait what’s happening? is deferrals coming out?

[minor hedge]

next week

[south oak]

oh boy

I’m scared

😭🙏

[fading socket]

p sure ed2 wont defer cuz double deferral is fucked up

like arent they bringing out the wl for next round

[south oak]

I EA’d because I didn’t think I’d even get a shot but I got deferred

the only other person from my school to apply got in and has a 4.80 so I was scared because I only have a 4.40

[minor hedge]

yeah deferral is over unless you applying for the first time

[south oak]

omgg

[minor hedge]

so basically just self report it?

[gray vortex]

yeh

but tbf my counselor is also sending in a transcript

[minor hedge]

will fix it tomorrow then

[minor hedge]

7 days left

one more info session tomorrow

and then a prayer

🦅

[hearty hatch]

YOU WILL GET INNNN

TRUST

[minor hedge]

i believe

[shrewd river]

I believe

[plucky harbor]

every northeastern admissions rate theory is false

other than ED raising your chances (as it does just as significantly for almost every competitive private institution in america), and the fact that northeastern giving out fee waivers/no supplemental boosts applications

also it is reasonable to say that northeastern would admit kids who are wealthier to nuin as there is no federal aid during that semester, but income has little to do with getting accepted to neu (most of the time) and you apply to northeastern as a school, not per campus, and they admit you based on where they see fit (the biggest reason for deferral from boston campus is simply a lack of space and overcrowdedness, but the fact that nuin/global scholars doesnt go into admissions stats is also a benefit in their eyes)

[minor hedge]

i’m not going to college if i don’t get in

i will move to boston and work at the nearest mcdonald’s

[novel forum]

if i get ed2 to my second choice, can i appeal that with new grades or something, or am i stuck with that

i regret putting oakland and nu in when i know i won't do those anyways, do i have a lower chance at boston because of that?

[fading socket]

p sure u have to rank 3 campuses anyway so like… no 💀

[fading socket]

wdym by appeal

[novel forum]

oh ur right

[fading socket]

oh ed2 neu and get a second choice campus

no thats final

[novel forum]

oh

ok

[fading socket]

it wont be binding if u dont get boston but like

[novel forum]

ok

[minor hedge]

unless

you pick

you want any campus

then it’s all binding

[novel forum]

ok

[minor hedge]

lowkey finna drop out of high school if i don’t get in

😈

[hearty hatch]

You will, I got in and I have average stats 🫠

At least average in my opinion

My gpa is pretty good tho

But everything else
