would they even believe me if i said i spoke maltese or some other really obscure language
I think you need to prove it
somehow
like proficiency test, schooling in that language
or like
something
is there a required english credit though 👀
but it doesnt necessarily need to be english
from what I understand
like you can take like french
or spanish
or something
?
Good chance?
wait so the foreign language credit covers the literature requirement too?
i think the only ap exam i'm taking this year is gonna be calc
Yes
I believe so
i heard that weinberg only takes two ap credits for their distribution requirement
I believe this is true information
i'm definitely using that ap lang credit 😭
i don't want to write another lit crit again
ngl i got no clue how i got in with these essays
thanks
been wasting these past few months until i realized i needed to lock in for these mmss essays
though it seems kind of unknown
nobody seems to know much about it
anyone know what time on the 26th northwestern might come out at?
ed came out at around 4 pm cst for me
Does anybody here know where to find sample essays for the ISP (if there are any)?
put it on skibidi
@frozen basalt put it on skibidi right now
aint shit out 😭😭😭
they said they're releasing on mar 26 already
nt bro
lil bro aint put it on skibidi 😹🙏🏼
ty queen
affects of college apps on a person
np goat
????
My friend said they got a result...???
They literally showed me.
Wait, maybe it was Northeastern University.
northeastern came out
Oh. Sorry.
Guys I’m a few percentage points below avg admitted student at my school but my SAT is about 200 points higher avg (most ppl went TO)
For all of them
Like most ppl at NU/CU/Stanford got 97-98.5 I got 96 but my SATs are higher
Will the SAT balance
Harvard and Princeton avg is like 100 😭😭
Bro I am in the bottom 25% of my school by gpa
Ur chilling
U got in?
Yes lol
I have a 3.78
My course rigor is very high though but my school doesn’t weight
someone put me in a come for 12 days
omg
what sat score
how many do they accept with sat score
1550
im very low percentile for admitted gpas though
so dont count on being admitted with my gpa lol
r u in state or out
^
its not relevant bc its a private university
😭
but i do not live in illinois
oh
when is isp deadline
me = wanna apply
wait university
u transfered?
ur her
???
like in state vs out of state doesn’t matter cuz NU is private
ohhh
I see
What?
Hello gang
i wrote the essays an hour and a half before
but i think i cooked
i could get in
Goodluck ☺️
thanks bro you too!!
does anyone know when its releasing?
March 26 th
Can’t remember the time
4pm eastern, ig
.
I cannot wait to be rejected
Real
can’t wait to get rejected from all my reaches 😭
🥺
all my reaches rejected me as of now
🫂
26th
ooo
I’m genuinely so nervous
this is the only school that I can feasibly attend due to my disabilities 🥲 perhaps I’m letting too much ride on it mentally, though
(NU has a very accessible campus) (elsewhere, I’d have to take mostly online courses due to my extremely low vision)
NU 
im getting in
i just attended random online seminars
same
got into my main target school tho so i’m not entirely cooked
i got into all my safeties
with decent schollys
but my only target (cwru) and reaches rejected me
4 reaches left, hoping for the worst
hoping for the worst?
u never know you should keep ur hopes high 🙏🙏🙏
maybe thisll be the reach that doesnt reject u
it only takes one yk
also are we confirmed releasing nw on the 26th
I think you mean expecting the worst?
hoping for the worst is literally praying you get rejected… noone wants that fr
yea ^^
ISP isn’t affiliated with admissions so not sure about that one
really stressed about nu decisions
Lol I just saw that I had allocated my fafsa to northwestern college not university
Nobody gets in from my school RD
idt anybody from my school ever gets in ed or rd
i WILL change the pattern
oh wait nvm we have afew kids that do
You will I believe in you
no one in my schools history has gotten into t20 lmao
apart from one cracked guy who got into princeton upenn brown
confirmed 26th on insta
Confirmed on the portal too
do we know what time
probably 4 est
early decision came out at like 2:40 pm pacific
So like
5:40
💀
And projected time was 4est
Surely they don’t do that to u again though
Bro the wait time for Ed was something else
Didn’t it come out already?
ikr
Oh Northwestern, with your campus so gallantly standing on the island of Evanston, I can do nothing but gaze at you with pride.

is Evanston even an island
Is Route 94 a river

northwesteen pls reject me i dont want to go
give this person's spot to me, northwestern.
no us
what if bo burnham made "northwestern university" instead of "jeffrey bezos," shit would sound cool😭
this looks like it
it would be amazing
why would u apply then 😭
i changed my mind on what i wanted midway thru app season
- change in what i can pay for college makes it so i cant afford to go
u should’ve withdrawn then
less work for AOs lol
atp i put the work in and the $90 down i might as well see it thru
true true
ill withdraw asap if i get in but im expecting rejection
northwestern hatessss my school for some reason
I am also not going but I’ll wait until Wednesday to see if I get in lol

i need to get into northwestern im ngl
the logo having greek instead of l*tin is so based
and i live in greece
or well it has both
so that means im getting in????
definitely
did northwestern have interveiws btw
how
Oh Northwestern, with your campus so gallantly standing on the island of Evanston, I can do nothing but gaze at you with pride.
lolll
yeah, I had a conversation with an alumnus, and he was cool :)
but don’t do it solely for an admissions boost; it doesn’t affect that at all
it’s really just for people to learn more about the university (and to engage alumni in the community)
I think it was new for this year
many people didn’t know; don’t worry
wtf
they dont want u either 🙄
i did not know this existed nor do it
Anyone know what time the decision comes out
it has come out around 4-4:30 pm EST in past years, came out at like 5:45 pm for ED after being expected at 4 though so I wouldn’t hold your breath for it coming out on time
alright, thanks
Guys are we gonna see a 15% increase in applications like JHU did
I really hope not
I do not want to see NUs acceptance rate fall to 4% I will cry cry cry
cooked
I’m cooked
no literally
It’s 3%
Oh Northwestern, with your campus so gallantly standing on the island of Evanston, I can do nothing but gaze at you with pride.
Oh Northwestern, with your campus so gallantly standing on the island of Evanston, I can do nothing but gaze at you with pride.
ill bust in pride if i get in
@main glen do you think I can get in
It’s honestly unethical atp. There is no reason a t10 school should be TO in 2025. Literally every study supports its use and TR supports FGLI students as well
Atp they just want to milk acceptance rates
Oh Northwestern, with your campus so gallantly standing on the island of Evanston, I can do nothing but gaze at you with pride.
There was a fat increase in ED1 applications
around 15% YoY
I think the NU increase in ED1 apps was bigger than JHU
but maybe that’s because it has a better reputation now
📚📚👍🥺👍🫠🍀🫠☺️🍽🙏😃🙏😃👀😄😃😄☺️🎊😔🥺😔😢
FUCK USNEWS
should’ve demoted northwestern or smth
Made it a top 59
I think anyone can get in
t10 isnt real and northwestern tbh isn’t really one
that said I agree it shouldn’t be TO anymore I honestly have no idea why it isn’t
thank you :) I just wanted to ask my sworn sister as a joke, haha
I agree, but I worry that such a decline might somehow direct funding away from the school, given the current climate
somehow
which other T20s are TO
pls northwestern i beg of you pls pls pls pls pla
yoo an aitsuki nakuru fan
Why isn’t it t10 in ur opinion
Ik other rankings like niche do not have it in the top 10; whereas one’s at the bottom of top 20 in USNWR like Gtown, rice, and vandy are
Uchi and ucla/cal and Columbia and brown are all better
I mean they are all the same I feel
What do u think makes them better??
Just curious
Aura differential
UChicago and brown have no aura
both have a good amount of aura tbh
watching uchicago tiktoks makes me wish i applied
UChicago is an absolutely miserable school but it has aura
Idk they rejected me so I hate them 😭
Bro LA and Cal are def worse lmfao☠️
LA is like mich
Cal is mildly better
Top schools but NU is better
Oh Northwestern, with your campus so gallantly standing on the island of Evanston, I can do nothing but gaze at you with pride.
I’d even be happy with a waitlist
waitlists are like an edge
they’re probably deciding on your application specifically
Yeah but ur instate
Wait when does northwestern come out?
fr
everybody should js go to hustlers university and not apply
better than getting rejected 😭
Can’t wait to go from deferred to rejected 🙏
this will be waiting for me in my portal
Guys….
what time to expect on wednesday?
do you believe in me
anywhere from 3–5 CST
yes
why
perfect bracket
ON EVERYONE WE ALL GETTING IN
i love purple
waow! finally someone with great taste ily
omg frog
can’t wait to be rejected tomorrow
thats a sign chat
same !!
you’re a verified college student though? 😭
yeah i got accepted to the top LAC (Ashoka University) jn my country and committed there
i can cancel my admission if i get into the 4 colleges that I have left
Congrats!!
thanks!
woah ashoka? dam
yeah, you’re indian too?
yes
nice
good luck guys
whats the chances TO..
ashoka being described as a top lac is sending me
i never thought about it that way
probably equivalent to what they would be if you submitted a score in the mid to high 1300s but it depends on your gpa
if your gpa is meh and you’re TO they’re very bad but if your gpa is high and you’re TO it matters a lot less
it would really be considered that low?
Well yes that is what most test optional scorers scored
What did you score and choose not to submit??
Probably between 4 and 6 EST
low 1400s so honestly its about the same
25th percentile is 1500
i wouldnt even submit a 1450
thats bc of test optional...
whats the lowest ud submit
anything in the low 1400s tbh
As first gen coulda gone away with it
nah bro thats insta decline
thats like 10th percentile
no its not
😭
ik some1 here with a sat in the 1400s and a yale likely
yall take percentiles from to schools way too seriously
legacy or insane ecs
because i mean if u look at it statistically then like u cant argue against that
hes definitely not a legacy lol
its because the vast majority of students that submit testing have over a 1500
Every school I’ve submitted sat I’ve been rejected
so obviously the majority of submitted tests represented in the student population are going to be over a 1500
So I’ll take it with a grain of salt
which schools tho
i mean 80%
UPenn
80% people submit n scores r still high asf
like 4 of those probably rejected you for other reasons
meow :3 meow :3 accept me please meow :3
what major?
Well UPenn def cause of sat lol
Econ
u submitted 1440 to upenn??
its more about how it compares to ur school average
Well apparently not
On college board my school average is 1020 or smt lol
We a small school tho so idk
a "low" school average is below 1000
Well I got above average but it still ain’t good
Prob cause like 2 in my class scored a 1550 and a 1580
lesson is dont submit unless required or 1500+
nah its dont submit unless required or around/above the 25th percentile of the school ur applying to
northwestern 25th is like a 1470
so like submit anything around a 1460 or up but if youre lower income you can probably submit anything above like 1420
u probably should have but it wont kill your app
they consider sat less for fgli students anyways especially if your gpa is good
Hopefully lol
Gpa my only saving grace
3.98 unw 4.89 w
Gonna hope it puts more emphasis than test scores and ecs
But can’t I also get away with being test optional since I am first gen
Meh
yes
that is what i just said
My bad
can i get away with to with legacy
uh, which school
nu
i dont know how much they consider legacy to be honest
pwease
I submitted my 1510; I don’t regret it, but I feel somewhat ashamed of it (illogically so)
that's a good score be proud :)
I think it’s mostly the people I surround myself with; comparison syndrome is hard to shake
let me in or I bring the o-block to evanston
do we know what time decisions release?
Bro this isn’t even funny I’m deadass gonna cry if they do this 😭😭
I now know that I’m not as mentally strong as I thought I was
ong we getting in tmrw
what time tmr in CST is northwestern
3pm
its not working :(
4/430 ish
i mean there are only a few LACs in India, like Ashoka, Krea and Flame
and Ashoka has managed to be the top one in all aspects till now
dyk what it is in est?
it is
4:00 PM
pre coping for tomorrow
Real
This is my most important decision tomorrow
inshallah
marshallah
wallah
hasbulla
im going to play the rejection simulator
same
cried
I’ve accepted that I’m not admitted
if i can be honoured to be someone's girlfriend, then you may not get rejected
stay up gang
these are independent events
and you’ve always been the more charismatic one
im not lol
I have no crazy national awards, no big accomplishments
like: I translate stuff for “thousands of people” and I code stuff for hilton, but I was only in the right place at the right time for the latter, and for the former, anyone could have done it — and chatgpt is replacing me
were all getting in 🙏🙏🙏
you are 🙏🙏🙏🙏
it’s how our mutual friends describe you
same! but i know i will use my time much more better compared to how i was during high school 😄
true!!
these four years will give us the opportunities we want if we truly put it to its true worth
i might seem insane for this, but college is likely to be less stressful than high school was, at least in terms of time commitments
oh really? why do you think?
you have celebrity status in the circles youre in
i cant say the same
LMAO
well
i didn't do anything for 9th/10th year so it was really a breeze for me
but i'm definitely locking in for my major next year, and i doubt it'll be easy 😭
is a2c not a circle? I feel that you’re well-known here
i know people
lol
i dont think being known as the ex-a2c mod who happens to be homeless is a good thing
mostly fewer classes 🥲 my normal school days often have me hone at 6 or 7 p.m., with little to no time for hobbies or anything of the sort
I’d much rather take four classes with a similar number of class hours and a bit more homework than the eight in which I am currently enrolled
i only really care about my appearances in #🚪-community-college #🔁-transfer-students haha
you were a mod?
yea
I think you told me before
ah i understand! i think strong commitments to clubs, work (potentially), and really looking deeper into your major will fill up that time though
🫂 you’re self-efficacious and kind to others, even if the latter is due to clowning to some extent
thank you dear
🤔 that’s true
i dont think i am
my boss wishes for me to research something this week and potentially work on implementing it into the software we’re developing, and it’s likely going to be a major time sink
I guess it never really ends
you were enrolled in 33 credit hours
nope, not for cs unfort 🥲
its not that good
you have 6 associates degrees
it's mid
no
anyone can do it in my situation
I’d be happy if you were to get into UCLA, even if I were to be rejected from NU
this is why you’re self-efficacious
anyone can do it, but you did
im lazy
you think poorly of yourself due to how you’ve been treated and interacted with in various interpersonal situations
idk i do have stuff ive wanted to do
such as?
data analyst stuff
i need to push it back to clock in more hours for actuary exams
I already know it’s a rejection, but to actually kill the remaining shred of hope within me is going to disappear my motivation for a month, I fear
only you
I just don’t know why
I don’t know
maybe CS and English was too weird
maybe they already hit capacity by accepting 6 people from my school
no one at my school believes that I will get in
it is what it is
to ruminate is to fall behind
hug hug
hug hug
hug x3
ITS CORONATION DAY!
what time does it come out
4:00 PM EST
Has this been confirmed
today?
aaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Between 3 and 5 CST
Ed came out at 2:50’pst
No
It’s today but the timing is NOT CONFIRMED
guys in PAST YEARS northwestern comes out at about 4 pm EST but the same applies to early decision as well and that came out some time after 5:30 pm EST so don’t panic if you don’t see a decision at 4
😭
i hope its 4 pm so i can actually see it
doesnt matter anyways since ill be asleep until 7:30PM et 
huh
10 hours?
yes
the decisions page said it was starting in 30 minutes?
WHAT
for my timezone?
oh this ☠️
yeah
it’s fine though i have my last board exam in 2 days
et means eastern time
so i’ll wait
thats some dedication
nah i aint
i’ll probably be occupied with something else entirely
trye
yeah
also you said ur indian right? the likely decision time is at 1:30 am
yeah dude
1:30?
yes
i do
yea probably the best option
cause 4 pm isnt confirmed
so i might stay up late for no reason
well other than nyu
i already saw my UMiami, Grinnell, and MIT results at 5 am and got traumatised
i think that's confirmed
alright man, i gotta go
aight bet bye
see ya
2:30 was reported by someone last yr
cst
nvm
it’s like 3 to 3:30 cst
i hope
bro did you not commit to ashoka a while back
yes i did bro
i also applied to a bunch of american unis
only got upenn, cornell, nu and vandy left
that so?
i didn’t know
Bro if you're not gonna go there it's obvious
but....you've....enrolled....in ashoka...
i can withdraw anytime
ok
.
the actual first semester fee deadline is in june
so Ashoka gives you time to withdraw if needed
death of me
let's go
economixs
me neither
cas
uh chat am i cooked if i put applicant updates (new addnl national /intl honors) in the Score report box
i uh didnt know that addnl applicant info was for that function and realized today
would the AOs not see it 💀
since i put one on march 17th too
Yeah probably, I think they only read stuff sent before the end of january
At least that’s what they said for the loci
uh how does that make sense
if i apply RD in january
like what abt aime/usamo breh
Idk tbh it’s probably different for rd
i mean it has to bro 😭
same bro i need one of all 8 ivies, duke and nu
im intl seeking aid 😭
You can withdraw anytime if you commit to a school
There’s no issue with that
idek
!cooked
@tawny arch is absolutely doomed.
@tawny arch feels this server is the place to bring it up time and time again.
@tawny arch is truly A2Cooked.
it's so over
bro
you're only legally obliged to go if it's ed
if ur not ed and you dont want to go anymore cause you got something better all that happens is you lose your enrollment deposit
how do you think waitlists work
what time does northwestern come out
idk im just checking at 7:30pm et since thats like when its 5am when i wake up
omg another indian
wassup
!nu
is it the bball one
!nw
typing that brought me pain
!Northwestern
!northwesternuniversity
!northwesternUniversity
!northwestern_university
I’m so cooked
!cooked
@chilly hull is absolutely doomed.
@chilly hull feels this server is the place to bring it up time and time again.
@chilly hull is truly A2Cooked.
I’m so excited for one book one northwestern (if they accept me)
wsg
im 0A, 0W, 3R
I get NU today, all 8 ivies tomorrow and duke
all it takes is one
i need aid
so i might be cooked
0A 😋
I believe in you
my acceptance is to my safety
what’s your college list?
northwestern is so nice
so i dont have a concept of safety
which state are you from?
india intl
the crosswalks literally tell you the street they go to when you walk up to them
I don’t have to use my magnifier at all
ALL EIGHT?
yeah im cooked
and when you’re paying for parking
there are safeties, but it depends on full pay vs aid
you don’t have to try to read the text
heard of Stanford, and other T20s which grant aid?
bro went straight to the creme de la creme
Jhu ed2 rejected as well
top lacs
MIT rd is reject as expected
could’ve tried some T50s too
MIT accepts like 2-3 applicants from India per year bro
you also need olympiads for that
so no chance
well, it has to be someone
and AIR 2 in amc 12 and AIR 3 in aime
they’re hyper competitive
most t20s take like 20+ indians
i thought i shotgunned
i got into olympiads a bit late
usually some overachiever or an IITian who is in a mid-youth crisis
mostly full pay tbh
i see you in every thread
kids from DAIS prolly
i did but 8 ivies is crazy work
thats even worse than me
blud stole my college list
i hate DAIS
im not from DAIS
i did 5 ives
and ls
LOL
if u see dais
dais 💔
i meant the other person
all their admits are need aware schools
I did 6 + ED rejection
what do you guys like about northwestern
damn
huck farvard
You dont see a HYP there do you
it's north and it's west
only one I didn’t apply to
high rank
you’re breaking my heart
what are these
since need blind
indian intl feeder schools
please let me in
what’s a TISB and JPIS
it’s not a good school to go to if those are your reasons; jay transferred out to go to a community college for a reason
:3
location, finaid, and northwestern seems like a chill laidback place
JPIS had 4 JHU admits this year
they are cracked
@slow rampart did you do scoir?
don’t forget the usnews rank
and also because it was where Robert De Niro’s character studied in “The Intern”
alternate application?
coalition app
like naviance
yeah im intl applicant
who told you that bro
idt intls used scoir like that
no lmfao
oh wait you meant the app
other people including myself have used Scoir
i meant the platform
does scoir make a difference
yes
to see your school’s scattergrams
no
it only allows you to apply to more than 20
Bro my school doesnt have any proper admits
common app>>>
we only have recruits to T20S
coalition is the next best thing
not scoir
last year we had a Yale but it was recruit for squash
my school doesn’t even have proper applicants
My entire school is full pay
from india?
they recruit intls?
DPS?
Dm
DPS or TGS or which one
y’all people from feeder schools are lucky man
my school sucks
sent freiend req check dm
sure
my school sends like 20-30 people to northwestern a year
u need to accept firind req
r u domestic
so im interested to see the results for this one
im from chicago
accepted
do you go to school in Evanston or Skokie
oh
chicago
selective enrollment?
yes
i see
what is skokie 😭
whats that
a suburb near Evanston
huh
it’s okay to not know everything that surrounds northwestern, haha
I only know because I live in the area
like a town
northwestern gives special consideration to certain schools
i see
thats selective enrollment?
no
selective enrollment is when the school itself selectively enrolls
you have to apply or meet a certain gpa threshold to go
huh
there are a lot of those schools in chicago
@chilly hull why is northwestern called that if it isnt even west
and the regional AO is different than it is for the general schools in chicago
here
this will kind of give you an idea of how it’s split
thats wuld
chicago is like the eastern edge of the midwest at best
wtf
how’s that even possible
must be faculty kids
chicago kids get to just go to northwestern
the United States had yet to manifest its entire destiny at the time
nah its like the center of the midwest
no, they go to a selective enrollment school
yea but they got to oregon pretty fast
is northwestern older than the louisiana purchase
that definitely isn’t it
does bro know what selective enrollment is
even georgetown day doesn’t send 20 kids to georgetown
pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
or bls to harvard
yes by like 50 years i think
A bunch of kids have parents that work at northwestern at my school 😭
so many kids at my school apply to northwestern but i think we’ve sent 1 kid in the last decade
i should've applied to southwestern and southeastern 😭
its the go to elite school to apply to here bc its relatively close
Yeah same here
We have like 100 smth people apply every year
holy shit
How many people got in?
we don’t know yet
this is for this application cycle
Ohhhhhhh
uh does scoir show scattergram
im sorry that sucks
hi
hi
some people don’t update it
