meanwhile we have like 11 boston from ea lmfao

oblique drum
#

Michigan def

#

either michigan or northwestern (if NU accepts me)

#

cuz I got deferred from NU

#

this chat lowkey got dead even during the RD timeline

#

yeah....

#

not as much as CMU tho

grave basalt
#

does a NU reject mean im cooked for rd?

fallen plinth
#

no northeastern is known for yield protection

#

boston campus has a sub 2% rd rate so it rlly doesnt mean anything

ebon coyote
fallen plinth
#

i moreso meant boston

ebon coyote
#

the total acceptance rate in general is probs closer to 15%

ebon coyote
fallen plinth
#

boston overall is 5% and they accept so many eds tho

#

so the 2% i said was for rd

ebon coyote
#

the overall acceptance rate you see online is not including nu in, the satelite schools, etc

fallen plinth
ebon coyote
#

it's only representative of boston

ebon coyote
#

a year ago it was like 6

#

and the year before that it was 8

fallen plinth
#

i am guessing overall everything combined boston is the 5% but rd only has to be very low

#

esp looking at the current a2c rd neu poll

little badger
ebon coyote
#

ED overall is closer to 40%

little badger
#

it certainly is lower than 5% if the ar overall is 5% for boston

ebon coyote
#

ED Boston is still probs closer to 15-20%

fallen plinth
#

i think its below 2-3% or at that level

ebon coyote
#

EA Boston and acceptance overall is pretty artificially low cuz they hella defer

fallen plinth
#

people on a2c are more cracked so these results are skewed already

ebon coyote
fallen plinth
#

so for people out of a2c its even lower

ebon coyote
#

wait

#

is the regular ar based off of RD or all 3?

little badger
fallen plinth
#

all 3

#

all 3 combined is 5%

little badger
#

it takes everyone who applied and everyone who got in

fallen plinth
#

thats why i said rd is sub 2-3

little badger
ebon coyote
#

damn, thought it'd be higher

fallen plinth
#

bc part of the 5% is the massive ed pool acceptance meaning that for rd its way lower

ebon coyote
#

thought it was just RD

little badger
#

its okay

ebon coyote
#

they accept like most of their class ED

little badger
#

mhm

ebon coyote
#

it's dawning on me how impressive it was I got in to Boston ea lmao

#

yall just need your parents to be alumni 😭

#

guaranteed admit

#

which is crazy bc they said they wouldn't consider legacy this cycle

#

but my app was not good enough for boston so I'm fairly certain it's cuz of legacy

little badger
#

you also might be underrating your app

ebon coyote
# little badger you also might be underrating your app

my app was crazy impressive academically but it lacks in extracurriculars. Mainly bc I just couldn't attend extracurriculars so it's not bad, but because I couldn't do much it's not great either. And my essays were interesting but I wouldn't say particularly impressive

#

I feel like a lot of applications to NEU already have max rigor so I can't see that being the reason I got in

#

and idt lor's carry enough for that

little badger
#

you probably were a pretty good applicant then! dw

little badger
ebon coyote
little badger
#

i think your perspective of the "average applicant" is skewed higher than it really is tbh

#

you honestly were probably a really good applicant!

#

a2c has skewed my views on college 😭

Would it be bad to mention a foreign exchange program in an LOCI

#

northeastern is like the one of the only schools in the northeast with a partner ship with Utokyo and it was gen one of the main reasons why I applied

#

I thought it would be niche enough to show I’m not just saying generic things but idk

Dear Family of ###,

We are reaching out because you may have received a communication inviting your family to an upcoming event in Boston. We apologize for any confusion this may have caused as the email was sent in error.

Waitlisted students will be informed of their decision by August 1, 2026.
Sincerely,

The Office of Undergraduate Admissions
Northeastern University

there was one girl on our hockey team that played club but walked onto varsity

#

so you may have a chance?

The Huntington News
‘I still pinch myself’: Brigitte Aube becomes first club player...

Sophomore forward Brigitte Aube might love hockey more than anyone. Despite devastating injuries that pulled her out of the game for four years, she always believed playing Division I hockey was possible. Now, she’s one of the only club hockey players to ever walk onto the No. 12 Northeastern women’s hockey team.

but still extremely rare

#

so i wanna feel good about where i am going

old geyser

ebon orchid
#

ik it's crazy

#

and i just went to welcome students day and it was chill

fallen plinth
#

delicate scroll
fallen plinth
#

i applied late 2-3 weeks ago

#

so i didnt apply aid immediately after i applied to neu as a college

ebon orchid

#

oaa ok

#

ya food is like livable

if ur looking for like unique stuff maybe once or twice a semester they do lobster nights but i dont like seafood so i didnt indulge

#

stetson east (steast ❤️) is close to most of the freshman dorms while international vilage (iv) is basically on the opposite end of campus

#

but some ppl like iv more because of the food they serve being more culturally unique than steast

my friends in speare and whatever

have a bigger dorm than ev

“the nicer dorm”

maybe i’m a forced triple

ebon orchid
sonic carbon
#

I see

#

I applied for Eng tech

ebon orchid
#

And I wasn't really gonna go there anyway but I just said why not stay cause my best friend loves that school

sonic carbon
#

Lowkey engineering tech has a way better curriculum than mech E for RIT it’s close to the WPI mechanical program

#

Is neu worth it cs?

fallen plinth
#

full tuition no

lofty osprey
delicate scroll
#

Apply fir it

ebon coyote
sonic carbon
#

because of co op

#

It’s functionally 60k a year and then whatever aid u get because you don’t pay for classes when you are on co op

carmine sequoia
#

those fall/spring terms u miss r taken over the summer semesters instead

sonic carbon
#

from what I understand you do co op for like summer and fall semesters and then pay off the next spring and summer semesters

#

So you’re only really paying for 3 years of school because one of them pays for itself

ebon coyote
#

maybe if you get a really high paying co-op

#

but the average salary is like $20

#

and that covers like half a year with 2 co-ops

#

so you're still paying for like 3.5 years of school

#

which I don't see the difference between 4 and 3.5 years of tuition being a great benefit compared to other schools

sonic carbon
#

With a high of like 40

ebon coyote

#

Damn some dudes fr making bank

lofty osprey

Also idk if it worth spending all the money u make from coop to go neu

#

Idk

#

Sound counter productive

#

Mass and Cass ain’t great but other than some parts of Roxbury and surrounding areas Boston is still tame

tight compass
#

yeah

#

mass and cass is getting better thuogh

#

the only places i wouldnt really go are like south bay center/newmarket and some other adjacent stops on the fairmount line

#

i feel like most people who complain about boston being dangerous are just like out of touch suburbanites

#

especially if they complain about dorchester being dangerous

weak citrus
#

Is all sheltered rich suburban moms and their “kiddo” hasn’t seems a lick of diversity until they came to school in the city

So many people live in their own bubbles

obviously cant compare to boston

#

but i would agree its top 5

Different for sure but similar too

Would love to stay in Boston post grad but getting into med schools here are like playing on max difficulty
