Northeastern University (NEU) (2025-2026)

[simple halo]

I hope you get in

CWRU?

[twin oriole]

ty twin

[ashen knoll]

[twin oriole]

carnegie wellon

no wait

[ashen knoll]

casewestern

[twin oriole]

case watern runiversity university

[simple halo]

I think it's a decent bit better

[lofty osprey]

🙏

[twin oriole]

my name is persona 2

[simple halo]

unless you're doing biomet

*biomed

it's a good school though

[ashen knoll]

yea

[simple halo]

I think the thing with NEU is that's they're kinda a gimmick school in that

[ashen knoll]

ughh idk what to think

[simple halo]

you can really get ahead with coops

and they'll get you a job

but it's not the best in regards to presteige

[ashen knoll]

how much aid did u get

if any

[simple halo]

and class quality

I got 50k in aid

so I'm paying 45k a year

[ashen knoll]

uva better right?

[twin oriole]

its scary but northeastern ea is really hard and also very demonstrated interest based

[autumn timber]

how does co ops work

like how does one school have better ones than others

[simple halo]

I don't know about UVA that much

[twin oriole]

they help a shit ton in intereship networking

[simple halo]

I think NEU is a tad bit better than UVA for engineering

idk though

[twin oriole]

like if you go to northeastern auto intership with a good company

or so they say

[ashen knoll]

hmm

[simple halo]

I think you can do coops at other schools

but it's more difficult

and NEU allows you to do up to 3

[twin oriole]

you can yeahbut northeastern pushes it a lot

[simple halo]

and they orient the curriculum

to support that

[twin oriole]

its their gimmick as the kids say

yeah

[simple halo]

like if you think

doing a coop would really help you

NEU is a good option

[manic pier]

lol I live in the Bay Area and got into Oakland. I wonder if where you live has smth to do with where they put you…

[simple halo]

besides that

NEU doesn't offer that much

besdies like a decent education

[lofty osprey]

Is neu in only school options change every year or is it same

[twin oriole]

lowk i was interested in neu for a bunch of different reasons but coops were never one of them domehow

[ashen knoll]

whats the actual acceptance rate

including all campuses

[simple halo]

really?

[twin oriole]

their engineering program is rlly good but they dont slack in the arts

[simple halo]

that's true

[twin oriole]

and their partnership with tokyo u engineering is like

tight

so that looked fun

[simple halo]

do you wanna go abroad there?

[twin oriole]

yeah lmao

[simple halo]

that actually sounds really cool

[twin oriole]

not opposed to doing one at all tho

[twin oriole]

yesss i do

[simple halo]

I really wanna go abroad at some point

[twin oriole]

same

[simple halo]

noramally all these schools push berlin

as the engineering abroad option

or Copenhagen

[lofty osprey]

Undisclosed but imo probably in the 20s

[simple halo]

TokyoU would be really good

especially if I keep physics

[frank pewter]

every, cause colleges apparently dont use SAT as a differentiator but to see if you meet the threshold to be able to handle their classes

[twin oriole]

oh really? never really been interested in germany but it seems like a good city

[simple halo]

yeah that's why I was kinda lukewarn

[twin oriole]

yeah tokyo u has a lot of stem classes and a lot of them r also taught in english

[simple halo]

*lukewarm

with it cuz it didn't offer much variety besides berlin

unless you can take electives or smth

also they have like summer abroad programs

which are pretty cool

[twin oriole]

that is true...

[lofty osprey]

Ngl only kinda down side I am seeing for nuin is it’s only European countries….

💔

[simple halo]

where would you like to NUIN

if you had the opportunity

[lofty osprey]

Mars

[carmine sequoia]

its because they only have partner institutions in those countries

[lofty osprey]

[simple halo]

Pyongyang 🙏

NUIN pyongyang wheN???

[twin oriole]

seems to vary between schools and also between locations

[lofty osprey]

Ik wait how are u liking cs there

[carmine sequoia]

its great its really easy

[lofty osprey]

Really?

[carmine sequoia]

like its challenging obviously but like

ive been coding since 6th grade so im having a great time

[lofty osprey]

Same

[twin oriole]

tokyo's partnership ik just lets you take whatever but i think italy's engineering prtnership (forgot which school) only has like 5 general engineering courses offered fif ur trying to do engineering

[simple halo]

cool beans

I really wanna do that at some point

[autumn timber]

neu or purdue for cs

[carmine sequoia]

im minoring in linguistics though so my schedule is fun and whimsy

[twin oriole]

depends

[simple halo]

ngl Purdue prob has a better program

[carmine sequoia]

am i supposed to be able to compare them and decide for u

[simple halo]

but Co-ops

[carmine sequoia]

just go to purdue bro

[simple halo]

will put you ahead

but I'd research the coop program

[twin oriole]

purdue is a good schol its a shame its in indiana

[simple halo]

and decide based on that

[twin oriole]

or illinlois

[simple halo]

ikr

[twin oriole]

one of them

[simple halo]

I was considering that

[unique hearth]

did anyone get coop

[simple halo]

but I was like what they hell

am I gonna do there

[frank pewter]

same with rose-hulman

[simple halo]

I'd go insane

[twin oriole]

truth nuke

[carmine sequoia]

wdym did anyone get co op u cant go on co op till second year

😭😭

[simple halo]

like you're 100 miles from civilization

[slim ether]

yo how is research at northeastern

[unique hearth]

oh

[slim ether]

is it easy to find

[frank pewter]

like i am not spending my prime years in INDIANA

[carmine sequoia]

yeah

[simple halo]

I think so

[autumn timber]

no dawg like while u were applying did u get into purdue

[twin oriole]

trueee

[carmine sequoia]

i didnt apply to purdue

im from boston i wasnt ab to leave 😭

[simple halo]

if not at the univserity, I've heard there are a bunch of coops at the lincoln laboratories that networks you with MIT and Harvard grads

[autumn timber]

Oh

[slim ether]

yo whattt

[simple halo]

or at least it's funded with those schools

[twin oriole]

lucky af

[simple halo]

but they're staffed by a bunch of people from NEU BU and other schools

[twin oriole]

i like how a lot of boston schools let you take classes and do shit at the other ones

[slim ether]

ah ok

[frank pewter]

@carmine sequoia i have a question, do colleges in boston often partner up together for events such as hackathons and stuff

[simple halo]

yeah

[carmine sequoia]

research wise the institutions r p interconnected

[carmine sequoia]

yes and no?

[simple halo]

IK tufts has a program where you can intern with other schools

cuz they're pretty small

which is nice

[twin oriole]

harvrd engineering lowk kinda mid (not their fault its like 2 days old) but they let you tke a ton of classes at mit

and mit is vice versa when it comes to art classes

[carmine sequoia]

hackbeanpot for example is hosted at northeastern but technically any college student in boston can join the org team

[simple halo]

ngl a lot of ivies are kinda mid in engineering

[slim ether]

would u say northeastern cs is more optimal for industry or also really good for grad school

[carmine sequoia]

i went to hackmit back in september

[simple halo]

but the main thing with ivies is that they're just a straight ticket

to some cushy job

and PHD program

[carmine sequoia]

i do think the fundamentals sequence both before and after the overhaul are very industry friendly

[simple halo]

and just the presteige carries

[frank pewter]

connections connections connections

[simple halo]

ikr

[twin oriole]

i think outside of cornell columbia and princeton the other ivies are just kinda like "yeah we have engineering come apply here please"

[simple halo]

😭😭

[carmine sequoia]

while i hate python i found that i actually am using what i learned for a side project this semester in one of my hobbies

[slim ether]

oh wows

[twin oriole]

brown is trying but with 1 engineering student per year idk if theyre getting anywhere

[simple halo]

yeah agreed

[twin oriole]

thats true

[frank pewter]

I was invited to the Harvard Club in NYC for my interview and just from my one hour stay there I could actually see how their network is so beneficial

[simple halo]

the problem is that a bunch of these high ranked engineering schools are state schools that give you no aid

[spiral cypress]

yay neu bag

[simple halo]

like UC Berkley and UMICH

[twin oriole]

also very true

[simple halo]

well GT is pretty affordable actually

[frank pewter]

only if we lived in cali

[simple halo]

ikr 😭

[twin oriole]

i didnt even touch the UCs because expensive + 0% acceptance + essays

[simple halo]

real

I really wanted to at least apply to UC san diego

[frank pewter]

didnt get into uc berkley? no worries theres ucla and ucsd and uc davies right there

[simple halo]

but like average story

realized it cost a bunch

• too lazy over thanksgiving break

[twin oriole]

real af

[twin oriole]

arent those also like really hard

man why are the ucs like evil

[simple halo]

legit I didn't apply to like 5 schools purely cuz of senioritis + lazy

[twin oriole]

i thought state school was supposed to be easy

[simple halo]

have yall heard of

[twin oriole]

me too...

[simple halo]

like the remedial math classes

[frank pewter]

yeah but it gives u multiple options and u get in state tuition for a top college

[simple halo]

some UC in state students have to have at UC's

cuz of the sheer grade inflation there

[frank pewter]

i am surprised NY doesnt have atleast one top UC level college

[simple halo]

yeah it's kinda insane

[twin oriole]

oh yeah theyre great schools but like . 1 person gets in per year

[twin oriole]

i wish we did

binghamton and stony wanna be that but they are not

[spiral cypress]

cali no 1 💪

[simple halo]

pov rent 😭

but pov California Girls ???

[twin oriole]

technically if you do agriculture at cornell thats a suny but like. im not counting that

[frank pewter]

Bings improving but i hated the location when i visited, stony just struggles with funds

[twin oriole]

youre so real on bing

theyre pretty good but who is binghamton

[spiral cypress]

its bad but if u pick the right loc its manageable

[twin oriole]

state of new york just buy NYU bro please

[frank pewter]

and they are in an awkward position where u are too close to dorm but too far to commute everyday without going insane

[twin oriole]

trueeeeee

[spiral cypress]

just buy columbia gng

or cornell

[simple halo]

😭

[twin oriole]

dont touch columbia wait

[simple halo]

can UMass just buy MIT

[twin oriole]

they give good finanical aid at least

SUNY aid is shit if youre trying to dorm

[simple halo]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-cute-kitten-kitty-pussy-cat-gif-9431944348187876211

[frank pewter]

Cornell actually takes in a lot of NY state students for some of their programs which is good

[frank pewter]

IKR 😭

[warm fractal]

speaking of Bing they haven’t given me my decision

[frank pewter]

privates are cheaper for me than sunys

[simple halo]

that's crazy

[twin oriole]

thats true, i was always suprised when i saw that

[frank pewter]

did u EA?

[twin oriole]

they r always like that for no reason

[warm fractal]

No I did RD in early November

[spiral cypress]

usc and nyu are better tho

[twin oriole]

ea like just came out

[frank pewter]

oh its gonna take some more time then

[twin oriole]

nyu depends

[frank pewter]

I got my EA back in December but my friend got it last week

[twin oriole]

location and quality is much better but tandon is not the nyu experience

also nyu aid rivals suny in shittiness

[simple halo]

tandon is pretty nice

my sister works there

[slow sparrow]

nyu experience = no campus

[simple halo]

I mean brooklyn

[spiral cypress]

lmao yea

[twin oriole]

tandon is nice but like. its not nyu

[frank pewter]

just some buildings in brooklyn

[twin oriole]

in a way

[warm fractal]

I thought this was the neu channel 💔💔

[simple halo]

I get it

[twin oriole]

you take like 0 liberal art classes so you never see te main campus

[frank pewter]

we shit talk NYU everywhere

[ebon coyote]

Isnt the NEU ny campus an old defunct college?

[simple halo]

that's crazy

[shy star]

yeap

[slow sparrow]

i think its BMCC

[simple halo]

my sister has told me that NYU is kinda a nepo school

[twin oriole]

i wouldve loved to go there if they werent so uneccessarily strict abt how many main campus classes you can take

[simple halo]

and the faculty there were complaining

[carmine sequoia]

thank god they got rid of global scholars

[twin oriole]

yeah

[simple halo]

that a bunch of the kids there are kinda ...

but the same thing is with NEU and BU ngl

[ashen knoll]

Hows life knowing ur penn bound

[warm fractal]

rich

[simple halo]

💀

[shy star]

no deadass

i hate that program

[simple halo]

I've seen the scatterplot for NEU and it's just all over the place

[carmine sequoia]

lon first sem -> oak second sem -> bos was just too much brah

[simple halo]

for acceptances

[twin oriole]

i can see neu but boston is surpsing to me

[simple halo]

for some reason

[shy star]

thank god i was the last one

LOL

[west jacinth]

I got into a 5% acceptance rate school with no essays 💀 I can tell my grandkids that in 40 years

[ebon coyote]

No it started with mary. Like mary smth college that they absorbed

[simple halo]

actually nvm

[shy star]

marymount manhattan

[simple halo]

BU has more focus on acedemic rigor

[carmine sequoia]

bro was there back in the day 😭😭

[frank pewter]

huh

[twin oriole]

they have like really good merit and financial aid so i wouldve assumed they got some regular smarties

[slow sparrow]

i dont talk about this because i dont want anyone to hold a grudge against me and look like im ungrateful but its not that great

[simple halo]

though it's still not too hard

[frank pewter]

i dont think BMCC partners up with NEU

[simple halo]

to get into BU ED

[twin oriole]

ok ❤️ yay

[ebon coyote]

Ye that marymount

[twin oriole]

oh yeah they take a lot of ed

[simple halo]

nah nvm you're right

[ashen knoll]

Understandable but how come

[shy star]

back in my day i had to switch campuses every semester smh

[simple halo]

they're still very rigorous

[slow sparrow]

like yes ur done w college and stuff but i replace a lot of my lack of stress w unnecessary issues that arent worth worrying about

[twin oriole]

i was considering it bc i knew id most likely get in but im risking it

[simple halo]

I think my college counselor was telling us how they really just care about gpa

[ashen knoll]

Like what

[simple halo]

so you need top grades to get there

at least for RD

[carmine sequoia]

one of my friends in rhythm games club i think also did it cuz he always wears merch from that program

[slow sparrow]

i think a lot of us rush to get things done out of boredom or eagerness to be prepared like finding roommates the moment you get in and stuff which is actually not a good idea to be locking urself in this early

[ashen knoll]

But yea tbh the thought of getting into the uni prob better than the reality

[twin oriole]

idk if thats good for me or not i habe no clue how my grades comapre to the rest of the world

[slow sparrow]

probably

[frank pewter]

I just panicked after seeing the Penn ED rejection and fumbled around first MP of senior year so ED'ed to BU

[ashen knoll]

Oh fairs

[simple halo]

😭

[frank pewter]

although looking back i prolly should have held out for a t20 but who knows

[simple halo]

is this ED2 to BU?

[twin oriole]

i hope i get in bc it seems nice and i have like. a reasonable chance compared to like harvard or some shit

[frank pewter]

yes

[simple halo]

I've heard ED2 for BU is not very reliable

[slow sparrow]

finding a roommate rn is icky because a lot of people have friends waiting for RD so you dont even know if they're gonna still room with you

[simple halo]

but I think if you have the gpa you'll be fine

[frank pewter]

🥴 it is what is

[slow sparrow]

thats why i highly encourage everyone to wait for rd

[frank pewter]

CUNY got me at the end of the day

[twin oriole]

ooh alr

[simple halo]

like I got scared off cuz they waitlisted everyone from my last years class

[twin oriole]

ill stay rd then

[simple halo]

for some fucking reason

idk why

[ebon coyote]

I heard rooming with friends is a bad idea anyhow I'm ngl

[slow sparrow]

macaulay is a great choice

[twin oriole]

hope it doesnt blow up like neu did

[slow sparrow]

definitely could be

[twin oriole]

oh yeah i heard bu is waitlist heavy

[slow sparrow]

ive seen how some of my friends live and... wow

[simple halo]

idk you just gotta make sure they're not slobs

[frank pewter]

i had a 4.0 GPA but fumbled around a lot in mp1 of senior year

[twin oriole]

FUUUCKK I FORGOT TO DO THE CUNY APPLICATION

[frank pewter]

are we da

[slow sparrow]

think its still open

[simple halo]

or else it's gonna be like you're their mom

[twin oriole]

]waaaahhhhh

[simple halo]

💀

[twin oriole]

i lowk nly wanted to do it if it was macaulay and i know 100% gthat ended

[simple halo]

same 😭

my Counselor cooked somehow she legit offered to just send quarter 1

[frank pewter]

ikr but my interview with hunter for macaulay was horrendous, which is surprising cause my interviews usually are stupendous, both my interviewers seemed tired and not interested

[simple halo]

since Tufts required midyears but they weren't out for my school yet

[twin oriole]

ccny specifically seems nice but all the engineering photos made it look like some random bunker

[simple halo]

and I bombed Q2

[slow sparrow]

how did it work if you dont mind me asking

[twin oriole]

my q2 pmo

[slow sparrow]

i heard it was kind of like speed dating but interview

[twin oriole]

almost failed an essay bc it was late (sick) and math gave me a shit participation grade (its math)

[frank pewter]

my counselor told me she attached a comment that said i got screwed around and moved to an AP class a month after thats why bad grades but lets see

[slow sparrow]

ccny has great eng

[frank pewter]

it was exactly that

[slow sparrow]

yea macaulay ended though

[twin oriole]

ok. i trust you ❤️

[slow sparrow]

i heard it was really short too?

[twin oriole]

im trusting the photos were misleading bc the grads usually have nice things to say

[twin oriole]

waaaaaahhhhhh

[slow sparrow]

oh idk abt the campus stuff though

cuny campus situation is probably the same for all cuny schools

[twin oriole]

prolly

[slow sparrow]

ive seen john jay and its not like terrible

[twin oriole]

a lot of engineering schools in the city keep you in the basement bunker at least sometimes

[frank pewter]

u wait in a lobby with several other kids and they call u up and sit with two people infront of u with others interviewing in the room around u, its loud and doesn't give that intimate vibe. My interview was like 10-15 mnts and it seemed that both of them were tired and not interested to converse

which was dissapointing considering how all my other interviews went

[warm fractal]

my interview is this Friday

[frank pewter]

hunter?

[slow sparrow]

yea honestly sort of what i expected

[warm fractal]

Lehman

[slow sparrow]

good luckkk

[wind hornet]

i got london scholars, is that even good?

[frank pewter]

Ah lehman does interviews too, goodluck

[carmine sequoia]

its like when u have friends that u wouldnt work on a group project w cuz theyre good people but not good students

sometimes u dont want to live w ur friends

[twin oriole]

they bite you there ): sorry

i mean its way better than not in at all and you can transfer to main pretty shortly after

yk what do they do with all these satalite freshman once thye transfer to main

can they fit

[frank pewter]

i get that they get a lot of applications but i feel like the interview section is absolutely handled in the wrong way

[simple halo]

I think you'll be fine

[frank pewter]

if u r gonna take interviews atleast make sure its in a room alone or smth

[simple halo]

you'll get the same experience for you claases for you major

[twin oriole]

congrays on it btw

[simple halo]

it's just your gen eds

[slow sparrow]

yea theres definitely ways they can improve lol

[simple halo]

that you'll be doing in London

[carmine sequoia]

no its horrible they actually wanted you to get shanked in an alleyway

thats why they picked u for london scholars

you specifically

[simple halo]

also you can get shitfaced there

[wind hornet]

huh ?

[frank pewter]

i heard they stab u on ur first day as an intro to london life

[twin oriole]

do NOT pull up to the northeastern london campus 2nite

[simple halo]

real

[simple halo]

I'd look at it yourself but it'll give you the same quality education might just affect social life etc

[carmine sequoia]

do NOT enroll in the london campus if you get less than a c in a class youll get sent to the pub across the street from your dorm to drink until you die

in all seriousness just do ur research brah ur not gonna get a reliable answer from a2c

[frank pewter]

tbf he might have wanted to talk to someone who is doing the program rn or has done it before

while its subjective learning from others personal experiences directly helps a lot ig

[twin oriole]

hi i didnt go to neu london scholars. id be happy to share my personal experiences

[carmine sequoia]

those people are not going to be in this thread

except MAYBE kafky but i think it was only for one sem

note that most of the people in this thread are other hs students that applied so in reality ur js getting an echo chamber from prestige-rotted high schoolers that probably dont know what theyre talking about anyways

[frank pewter]

i dont go to neu london scholars but I was in london once when i was 2, my experiences should help 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

[wind hornet]

after boston which one is the best?

[twin oriole]

not me though i know everything

[twin oriole]

boston 2

just opened

[carmine sequoia]

nuin pyongyang

[wind hornet]

tf?

[twin oriole]

neu had to make a second one because too many students

its like

a little to the left

[carmine sequoia]

northeastern nahant

[twin oriole]

youll find it

[carmine sequoia]

which is actually a campus in massachusetts but its js for like marine lab research for grads n shi

[frank pewter]

they are sharing campus with BU u mean

[twin oriole]

no bus different

[carmine sequoia]

we are absorbing wentworth institute of technology next door

[twin oriole]

thats neu boston 3

[carmine sequoia]

that is boston 2

[twin oriole]

after the merger

[twin oriole]

thats true WIT has outlived its purpose

after neu has established a strong empire we can consume mit

[wind hornet]

after boston campuses which one is the best?

[twin oriole]

thank you for clarifying

it depends on your interests

[versed dove]

the sun never sets on the neu empire

[carmine sequoia]

do you want us to tell you london so you can feel better ab london scholars

it legitimately does not matter gang

[autumn timber]

Is there like a ton of jobs and internships in Boston

With the co ops and all that

[carmine sequoia]

i like to think so? in high school i had a lot of coworkers that were neu co ops

[twin oriole]

neu seems to put a lot of their resources into oakland compared to other secondary campuses in my opnion. but that is my opinion. idk

[autumn timber]

is co op counted as a internship or is it straight up a job

[twin oriole]

other than that maryland and london are like. the same

[carmine sequoia]

i will agree w this in the sense that boston and oakland are treated equally in terms of housing and other things

[twin oriole]

but i heard marymount financial aid is bullshit

[carmine sequoia]

but thats fine print u dont have to worry ab until ur in my position

[frank pewter]

i just fucking realized, its oakland in cali and not Oklahoma

[simple halo]

😭

[autumn timber]

Cali is fire yo

[carmine sequoia]

its a full time job for 6 months

[twin oriole]

oakland oklahoma

[simple halo]

I think they said on tours or smth

that you can get fired

based on your performance on a coop

or if they like you

idk

[frank pewter]

I kept wondering why people would intentionally go to Oklahoma from boston or nyc or smth

[carmine sequoia]

one of my friends quit his co op in the middle of the sem 💀

[twin oriole]

what do you do when you get fired from a coop

[simple halo]

crazy

*hired

mb

[twin oriole]

shunned from the northeastern community and forced into hiding

[carmine sequoia]

however it is not a good idea and is incredibly looked down on

[twin oriole]

ohh

[ebon orchid]

with the change your major thing do they have to reconsider ur applicaiton or is it just a catch free switch cause i kinda wanna change from mechanical engineering to something that can get me a higher paying job while still being stem related

[twin oriole]

that would be fire

[frank pewter]

go back to the woods

[simple halo]

I meant like you can get hired straight out of college

[carmine sequoia]

if u quit or renege on an offer and register for classes the schools gonna be like dude wtf did u do

[simple halo]

if you do well during your coop and they like you

[twin oriole]

no job searching after school just go hold hands with ur coop and run nto the sunset

[simple halo]

😭

[carmine sequoia]

but yes if u perform well during co ops u can get return offers

[wind hornet]

wait so whoever gets into NEU lodnon or oskland will be able to switch to boston if they want? or is it only a london scholars thing?

[simple halo]

low key I've heard horror stories

surrounding finding a first coop

[twin oriole]

neu london gets to go to boston after 1st year

[autumn timber]

how competitive is finding a co op though

[simple halo]

I think for CS it can be a little rough I've heard

[twin oriole]

scary

[carmine sequoia]

oak/lon/nyc all transfer after the first year but the housing selection is different if ur oak vs lon/nyc

[simple halo]

and they had to limit

[carmine sequoia]

bad

[autumn timber]

💔

[twin oriole]

fuuuck

[simple halo]

the amount of coops people could apply for

[carmine sequoia]

idrc tho im crackddd 🤑

[simple halo]

but someone told me

[wind hornet]

oh thanks

[simple halo]

that it wasn't that bad

[twin oriole]

ok but im computer engineering computer science combined major so im unqiue and desirable

i will become the ceo of apple during my coop

[simple halo]

but low key I think that might just be them

[twin oriole]

oh ok thats good

[carmine sequoia]

i can nepo into a co op from one of my past jobs so its not joever for me

[wind hornet]

oh even i took computer engineering

lol

[carmine sequoia]

thats not the best scenario but a jobs a job

I've heard that after you do your first coop

it's better

[twin oriole]

brah..

[simple halo]

prob also because you're doing your first coop earlier so you might've not taken as many classes that could be desirable for jobs or smth 🤷

[carmine sequoia]

js make the next ai b2b saas and then u wont need a job bc u made ur own job

[twin oriole]

[twin oriole]

i only have a vague idea of tufts but it seems cool

[grizzled mountain]

[simple halo]

yeah that really convinced me ngl

[ebon orchid]

[twin oriole]

i cant wait that long

[simple halo]

[weak citrus]

HELL NO

[white egret]

i dont qualify for FAFSA or whatever, im international so i wanted to go to a good uni

[twin oriole]

[white egret]

[simple halo]

have you tried appying to Purdue or

[odd condor]

i got into purdue for cs anyway i think i'd just rather go there

[white egret]

i got deferred

[wind hornet]

but after yr 1 we can do boston

[simple halo]

Uill Urbana Champlain

they keep the base cost low at least

[white egret]

thats on 31st

[twin oriole]

is purdue financial aid even good

[white egret]

for me

[wind hornet]

oh i got deferred from purdue 😭

[twin oriole]

the brown color scheme screams greed to me so idk

[odd condor]

its a quarter of college which is a lot

[wind hornet]

what r ur stats?

[autumn timber]

actually around 371,595

[twin oriole]

nothing even happens first year anyways tbh

[wind hornet]

ahhh i really wanted the boston campus man

[twin oriole]

likely the same experience

[white egret]

you can transfer

[odd condor]

i have a 3.97 gpa 14 aps 1540 sat

[twin oriole]

2nd year is more like advanced and technical clsses

[odd condor]

yeah if i got boston i would have considered it

over purdue possibly

[autumn timber]

371,595 for northeastern , like 207k for purdue

[wind hornet]

u international?

[wind hornet]

that insane

[odd condor]

nah im from america

[mental osprey]

for CS?

[weak citrus]

Sorry 🙁

[odd condor]

yeah

[white egret]

did you put london as first choice?

[odd condor]

the main thing for me is that i like boston a lot more than west lafayette

[odd condor]

i dont think so?

[white egret]

oh lol

coz your stats are amazing

[mental osprey]

y would u

[white egret]

and I have like 3.9 GPA and 1490 SAT international MechE got Boston

[twin oriole]

real af

[wind hornet]

cs and comp eng is very competitive

[odd condor]

well i wouldn't take northeatern over purdue straight away

[twin oriole]

purdue is a good school but who is west lafayette

[odd condor]

but i'd consider it

[white egret]

idk about comp eng tho

[odd condor]

but since i only got the london thing im def not going to neu

[autumn summit]

did ya apply cmu?

[wind hornet]

sure buddy

[odd condor]

yeah

for is

[weak citrus]

It’s a college town tho so don’t count it out it will have a lot of stuff

[autumn summit]

respectable

[white egret]

ok bro come at me

[wind hornet]

is london that bad im worried 😭

[autumn summit]

over cs?

[odd condor]

i'd rather do cs but i also like is and i think the chances of getting in for it are a lot higher

[weak citrus]

London ain’t bad, but it’s not for everyone

70 is like an A tho

Or something

[versed imp]

what majors r good at neu

[shy star]

imo oakland

[shy star]

all of em

[autumn timber]

so from a cybersecurity standpoint

go purdue for 207k total vs 371k northeastern

idk though

Co ops seem like a big thing

[odd condor]

yeah def go to purdue

[autumn timber]

but I’m also considering military to get experience

they’ll pay for a lot

[supple kiln]

poop

[carmine sequoia]

just go to purdue dawg

go where the money at

[autumn timber]

what if cost wasn’t an issue

would that change the decision

[odd condor]

still purdue prob

[carmine sequoia]

i would still say go where the money at

[vital rapids]

purdue still better than neu for cs

imo

and ur saving 160k

[odd condor]

i dont really care about money since my parents are paying and i got into both purdue and northeastern

and i'd pick purdue

[autumn timber]

Decisions decisions

would be nice to have a orb to let me look into the future

Is it colder in Indiana or Boston

does Indiana or Boston sound cooler

[simple halo]

I would not pay 170k for better weather 😭

[vital rapids]

if ur just gonna convince urself abt northeastern then why would u ask 😭

[autumn timber]

I’m not

I’m juggling them

prob gonna go purdue though

[vital rapids]

170k is a big difference

[weak citrus]

160k extra that’s years more of payments. You can still get internships.

[autumn timber]

is it a “guaranteed” job after 1 or 2 co ops

like if u do

solid idk

[weak citrus]

Depends

[grizzled mountain]

london scholars is solid but i think it’s better for humanities than stem

[weak citrus]

Ik ppl who get return offers but again if you doing well you can set yourself up for a job anywhere

[grizzled mountain]

they’re honestly pretty similar

boston is a bit colder i imagine

[autumn timber]

I think we have a decision boys 💔✌️

wait

I’ll see which school sends me a admitted packet quicker

then whoever’s first

[weak citrus]

U got your folks paying for school?

Or yourself

[autumn timber]

Indeed

Folks

[grizzled mountain]

i still wouldn’t make them pay 160k more for northeastern tbh

purdues great for cs

my friends there like it

[weak citrus]

Have a convo with the fam

I’m sure they have thoughts

[autumn timber]

cybersec at purdue> cyber at northeastern ..?

[ebon coyote]

wow really? I think they were doing good? Or maybe I'm thinking of worcester

[wind hornet]

yeah

[grizzled mountain]

you’re prob thinking of WPI

actually maybe not

[autumn timber]

family friend graduated from Penn state or upenn (I forgot which one) he said Boston any day

[simple halo]

I actually thought that was a joke lol 😭

[autumn timber]

💔✌️

[weak citrus]

It’s a good school but we are basically kissing their campus

[autumn timber]

Cause of jobs and co ops

[wind hornet]

penn state and Upenn r very different 😭

[ebon coyote]

i thought NEU would only merge with universities that are dying

like marymount lol

[autumn timber]

just a little..

[simple halo]

but low key I get it right Auoun can't get more land to expand the evil empire

[weak citrus]

If money is no object then make sure to factor is location, coop or not etc

[grizzled mountain]

when i toured northeastern i saw wentworth yea

so close

[weak citrus]

It’s a joke. WIT ain’t going anywhere. We have some students that live in WIT dorms tho

West Village and Bur Rub are a 2-3 walk from wit

[wind hornet]

bro i didnt get NEU boston campus. Its stressing me out sooo much for my other universities as well 😭 its reducing my hope ahhh

[weak citrus]

Chin up bro🫵

[autumn timber]

there’s this one purdue senior I’ve talked to about cyber and he did army reserves throughout undergrad and because he had the military experience lockheed and Northrop Grumman pulled up with offers

[grizzled mountain]

don’t let it

[autumn timber]

military alone might get me a job

[simple halo]

https://tenor.com/view/tom-and-jerry-heart-eyes-hearts-in-love-fall-in-love-gif-15077359686863655657

[ebon coyote]

oh really? damn didn't know you could dorm at other neighboring universities

[weak citrus]

It’s a contract thing. Not normal but every school is over enrolled.

[odd condor]

i heard like neu really likes to target students who they think are more likely to attend

is this true

[weak citrus]

Every school bro

[ebon coyote]

like- advertising?

[mental osprey]

Not rly though

[odd condor]

like someone was telling me if you got the london program they probably thought you weren't going to attend

[simple halo]

I think admissions

[odd condor]

so its not a bad thing

[simple halo]

yeah they def do that

[ebon coyote]

ohhh

[grizzled mountain]

my friend got deferred who literally did a program at northeastern and has good stats 😭

[wind hornet]

Wait so in london scholars they forsure let you switch to boston after year 1 right?

[weak citrus]

Yes

[ebon coyote]

I 100% think I only got in bc my parents are alumni. My stats are good but I don't think they're as good as some other students who got deferred

[wind hornet]

ahh then it might not be that bad

[austere tiger]

[austere tiger]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[mental osprey]

They just don’t want to be a safety school

[odd condor]

it like kinda makes sense because a lot of the people who get into the boston campus have like worse stats than the kids who are accepted to the london thing

[ebon coyote]

ALSO SCREW THAT ONE GUY FROM UPENN WHO WAS GIVING ESSAY FEEDBACK AND SAID THAT MY ESSAY WOULD GET ME REJECTED FROM EVERY SINGLE COLLEGE I APPLIED TO

[odd condor]

or maybe im coping idk

since i got into the london thing

[simple halo]

😭 what the ragebait

[austere tiger]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[simple halo]

ngl I think in this case

[ebon coyote]

the personal essay

[weak citrus]

A2C is peak cope always has been

[wind hornet]

lol even im trying to cope 😭

[odd condor]

but like it makes sense right?

[mental osprey]

Wts the acceptance so far?

[wind hornet]

cant handle boston rejection ahh

[odd condor]

they offer the boston campus to kids who are more likely to attend

[ebon coyote]

no cuz everybody loved him and said his advice was great. The mods banned him for advertising his schoolhouse thingy ig. But like- he literally told me that I should just delete my essay and that it would be an auto reject everywhere

[ebon coyote]

accepted to UMASS amherst, UMASS boston, Bridgewater state, and NEU. Which is everywhere I applied except I got rejected from UPENN (but that was to be expected)

[wind hornet]

Umass amherst or NEU?

[simple halo]

bridgewater state is free tuition if your parents make less than 200k right

[weak citrus]

Let me just put it this way they go through 100k apps. I find it hard to believe they are meticulously sorting through each student. Ofc they want good while protection but this is all from data. They have criteria etc.

[ebon coyote]

probs gonna do UMASS. NEU is still like 70k even with my scholarship. I might try to negotiate but my hopes aren't high and at best I can get it down to maybe 50-60k. Meanwhie, Amherst is 30-40k

[austere tiger]

no? They're a shitty public school with little to no funding

I think they were a community college only a few years back

[wind hornet]

Umass even over the boston campus? thats isanne?

[simple halo]

F

[weak citrus]

U mass Amherst is a good school are u in state

[wind hornet]

u got scholarship in Umass amherst?

[ebon coyote]

It's not worth 140k minimum 😭

[simple halo]

yeah Amherst is pretty good

[ebon coyote]

nope, but they gave me a 18k scholarship so it's not full sticker price

[simple halo]

that sucks

[austere tiger]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[weak citrus]

Ahh okay

[odd condor]

i mean its sort of like yield protection no? a lot of schools do that

[wind hornet]

oh

[austere tiger]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[ebon coyote]

ye UMASS, especially Isenberg (which I got into), is pretty good. They do lack in prestige and business connections but NEU's connections aren't worth 100k

[simple halo]

100% agree

[austere tiger]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[weak citrus]

I’m sure there is some but a lot of people make such a big deal out of it. Qualified applicants will get into schools regardless

[ebon coyote]

so if NEU miraculously gives me 20k more then I'll consider it more seriously but I highly doubt it rn

[ebon coyote]

what major?

[weak citrus]

Im a believer that most students get into the right place for them, if not your transfer

[austere tiger]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[odd condor]

yeah but there's definitely a weird trend with who gets into the boston campus

[austere tiger]

I'm gonna try and join the Isenberg fellows RAP bc... I wanna get into the party dorm lmao

Sorry to hear that 🙁 I’m sure you will get great offers

💀

i had a 1540 and i got into the london program

[austere tiger]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[ebon coyote]

NEU is notorious for yield protection

[mental osprey]

I mean… SAT isn’t the only factor they consider

[ebon coyote]

i think all the boston schools are but NEU is probs one of the worst

[mental osprey]

But tbh wtf do they even consider

No sups

[ebon coyote]

check the CDS lol

[simple halo]

ngl prob

[mental osprey]

CDS is fkin cap atp

[ebon coyote]

I was so worried bc they stopped considering alumni relation in the last round of apps

[mental osprey]

Can’t even call ts holistic atp

[weak citrus]

A lot of the Boston schools are great

[ebon coyote]

which was probs my only spike for NEU 💀

[ebon coyote]

great at yield protecting

yeah I wasn't saying NEU was the worst of the colleges in boston, I was saying they're the worst for yield protection lol

[mental osprey]

Lmao

[ebon coyote]

or the most notorious anyhow

[weak citrus]

What can I say man. It’s a game at the end of the day.

[mental osprey]

In US ig

[weak citrus]

Which sucks

[mental osprey]

Not just Boston

[odd condor]

yeah they kinda seem like they would be like that

they have a 5.62% acceptance rate somehow lol

[ebon coyote]

i mean... uchicago is giving them a run for their money

[weak citrus]

It’s cuz of the 100k apps. You can’t admit 20k

[ebon coyote]

tbf, we can shit on NEU all we want for it but it is how they've managed to pull themselves up from a commuter school to a t50 in only 2 decades which is impressive

[mental osprey]

I feel like they just don’t req sups at all to attract more applicants

[ebon coyote]

they wouldn't be able to get more funding for their school and academics unless they increase their prestige, tuition, and amount of applicants

[mental osprey]

So they can reject them

[ebon coyote]

yessir

[ebon coyote]

yep

[odd condor]

yeah northeastern has played it pretty smart

[mental osprey]

And make more money

[odd condor]

with increasing their prestige and all

[mental osprey]

😭

[ebon coyote]

yale was doing smth along the same lines by extending their deadline twice

[mental osprey]

Wt was yales deadline?

[ebon coyote]

and I'm sure UPENN will also be employing new methods for more applicants considering they had 2000 less ED applicants this year

[odd condor]

jhu extended their deadline like 3 times 😭

[weak citrus]

My real advice is to stop focusing on everyone else, go to a school you can do well at. Kick some ass and you’ll forget abt all of the admission bs

[mental osprey]

wtf fr?

[ebon coyote]

no clue, all ik is they exxtended the deadline twice and that ppl on common app got emails abt it

[mental osprey]

Wts the deadline?

[odd condor]

yeah

[mental osprey]

I thought it was Jan 2 —-> Jan 12

[odd condor]

it went from like jan 1 to jan 12 to jan 24 or somehting

[carmine sequoia]

dude this was a joke

[carmine sequoia]

it was

[mental osprey]

wtf

😭

[ebon coyote]

eh i'm not familiar with tech schools in mass and NEU did absorb marymount so it is plausible if you know nothing about that school 😭

[carmine sequoia]

wit is across the street but evb jokes about js taking over the campus cuz its so close

[ebon coyote]

i remember worcester visited at a college fair and I literally knew nothing abt them or that they even existed

[carmine sequoia]

personally i feel like wentworth is like the alternate option for people who pursued less academic rigor in high school because of how the vibe is so similar

[weak citrus]

Still a fine school

[carmine sequoia]

oh yeah sure

[weak citrus]

Know lots of eng majors

[carmine sequoia]

i have friends there

friends... and non friends...

[weak citrus]

They tearing down their fields tho

[autumn timber]

Is it like 90% of students get a co op

Or a big chunk that lock in

[weak citrus]

Wish I had the data for my coop cycle for each college

[ebon coyote]

it must be weird seeing ppl you knew in hs with you in college. Maybe it's cuz I hate most of my class but I really don't want to see most of them ever again

[weak citrus]

They have the percentages

[weak citrus]

I see a couple every so often but it’s chill

[ebon coyote]

I live on the west coast and I think I was the only person in my class applying to any college on the east coast thankfully. I'll probs see a couple of my classmates eventually knocking on my door. Or your door. Holding a book of mormon no doubt

[weak citrus]

Utah💀

[ebon coyote]

nope. Mormons are all over the west coast lol

[weak citrus]

I know someone at NEU to drop out for her mission

Like cmon

[carmine sequoia]

dude where do i begin

[ebon coyote]

i think my town is actually called mini utah bc of how many are in my small town specifically

[carmine sequoia]

20 people makes seeing ppl an everyday thing at this point

the only reason why i chose to come here anyway is cuz i figured the school would be big enough that the probability of paths still aligning would be slim

[odd condor]

i dont really want to stay in state for college but its not because i hate my classmates i just want to meet new people

[ebon coyote]

OOF the way I'd hide with a hoodie and mask walking around just so they won't recognize me 😭

[carmine sequoia]

i was unfortunate enough to be proven wrong

fortunately, the amount of new people have made it a bit more pleasant

[weak citrus]

Unless you got to a small LAC u will meet so many new ppl

[carmine sequoia]

also because a good chunk of neu goers from my school i DONT dislike

[weak citrus]

Anywhere

[autumn timber]

are there huzz at northeastern

[carmine sequoia]

asking the real questions

yes

[weak citrus]

🫣yes

[autumn timber]

hmm

[carmine sequoia]

so many baddies

[ebon coyote]

i'm ngl one of the reasons I gave up on umass boston was cuz of how chopped they are 💀

[weak citrus]

Not gonna comment on first years tho cuz im turning 21

[autumn timber]

ok unc

[weak citrus]

🙏

[ebon coyote]

at least NEU has a bunch of hot intls

prove me wrong

[weak citrus]

Facts

[carmine sequoia]

luckily i can! plenty of baddies across the campuses

[versed dove]

i will say there is signicantly more good looking women than men ngl

[autumn timber]

if I commit can u guys put me on

[ebon coyote]

the only school that's got them beat is NYU

[weak citrus]

For sure

[autumn timber]

I’m a lil short though

[carmine sequoia]

i learned yesterday that 4 months ago i kept telling someone they were fine asl while i was drunk

[ebon coyote]

i'm ngl, this is like everywhere. The population in general 💀

[autumn timber]

ur fine asl (im not drunk)

[ebon coyote]

I say that as someone who's bi, women are hotter on average than guys 😭

and then the hot dudes have shit personality

[weak citrus]

Also depends on classes cause in stem there’s a massive girl population

[carmine sequoia]

well yeah

women are amazing

[weak citrus]

Orgo, Bio, even Physics

[carmine sequoia]

icl even in the cs classes the girls mog so bad

[ebon coyote]

bro there was this guy I saw a football game. Solid 10/10 in looks. And he was bullying a girl with down syndrome who was on the cheer team while using a walker 💀

[pure brook]

How is biochem in neu?

[ebon coyote]

I've never hated someone so much in my life my god

[carmine sequoia]

mind you this entire debacle nearly ruined my life last weekend but at least it got cleared up

[weak citrus]

That’s what I major in!

[odd condor]

aren't colleges like 60% women these days

[carmine sequoia]

my jaw physically dropped

[autumn timber]

u miss 100% of the shots u don’t take

[pure brook]

Omg twin! I just got in for biochem

[autumn timber]

On everyone soul Purdue is like 60 men 40 women

[weak citrus]

On coop rn doing research this could be you

It’s a hard major but worth it

[odd condor]

oh yeah according to google it is

[weak citrus]

Pre med or not

[odd condor]

thats interesting

[versed dove]

does anyone know the women vs men statistics for neu

[autumn timber]

the real questions

no huzz = no happy

[weak citrus]

Prolly like 55 girls 45 guys

There’s plenty of women bro

[odd condor]

56% female according to google

[pure brook]

I was considering pre med but if i commit to neu them im prolly lean towards research or pharmaceuticals

[autumn timber]

wait I’m lowk scared of girls though

[weak citrus]

Dead on bang

[odd condor]

43.4% male

I guess they just don't include other genders

[ebon coyote]

I think part of it is that guys have more options. Like a lot of high school dudes will go straight into the military and trades while most women decide to go into education. Mainly bc being in a really male dominated field is tough and not a lot of ppl wanna put up with that

[weak citrus]

Can’t go wrong with either and you don’t have to decide now tho. Orgo 3 is all about drug making which might interest you.

I’m working on vaccines myself

[mental osprey]

damn wtf

[weak citrus]

There ain’t no shortage of women, but interacting with them is a different story💀

[mental osprey]

tbh, these days, it feels like unis accept more women

[pure brook]

Oooo that sounds cool!! Im interested in drug development and was looking into anesthesiology path soo i’ll look forward to thatt

Hows the coop option for biochem

[ebon coyote]

i'm actually terrified for this like. What if I never get a bf and what if I actually have to ask the guy out and not the other way around 😭

[ebon coyote]

women still have it harder in a lot of ways so resilience is almost built into our apps.

[autumn timber]

Game is game

[pure brook]

Lwky fr ://

[weak citrus]

3 types
Academic research which what I’m doing
Industry (more common)
Clinical Coops (pre meds if they need hours)

Lmk if u have questions

[weak citrus]

U gotta ask at least one person out in ur life time

[mental osprey]

its alr ig.
everyone will have 43.4% bf acceptance rate

before they arrive at campus*

[ebon coyote]

k i googled and more women are choosing to go into college after hs than men rn and I still think it's bc guys are more likely to go into trades/millitary than girls who may not want to deal with rampant workplace harassment

[odd condor]

i think women are just better academically these days

[weak citrus]

They are

Better in HS too

Which correlates

[ebon coyote]

I was having this convo with my friends bc I don't want a son since boys are hard to keep alive and want to get into every bad influence they can find in high school 💀

[autumn timber]

Joshi will u go out with me

[weak citrus]

Nah 😭

[autumn timber]

There u have it guys

[pure brook]

Dyt its hard to do premed in neu based on the workload..

[odd condor]

I'm male trust me some of us are fine 💀

[ebon coyote]

I was lowkey gonna do it this past january bc there was this golden retriever type dude in my tennis class and I was simping so hard AND NOW HE JUST ISN'T SHOWING UP ANYMORE

RAHHHHHH

[weak citrus]

I’m premed. It’s a lot but doable. Orgo 2 cooked me but my GPA is good rn. I EMT part time, have time to volunteer etc

But you will face challenges anywhere

[wind hornet]

Guys for computer engineering;
What do I choose:

Do London scholars (1yr London then Boston) at NEU

Or

UMass Amherst

[ebon coyote]

The amount of stupid shit I've seen guys do is crazy. Like- yall. You don't have to sniff smarties or fun dip. You also don't need to jump off that building just to see if you can land on your feet and not break your legs

[mental osprey]

any fin aid or scholarship u got?

[ebon coyote]

HEYYYY I'M IN THIS SITUATION

[mental osprey]

oh. ur intl

[pure brook]

Wooaa ok thats great to hearr

[mental osprey]

nvm

[wind hornet]

Not at NEU. At UMass 18 k

[simple halo]

😭 5 kids I know got into NEU ED and they're kinda insufferable

[wind hornet]

U got Boston NEU right ?

[mental osprey]

then id say UMass

[weak citrus]

I kinda just got over the hump. After Gen Ed’s things get easier

[ebon coyote]

this is why I chose the state 3000 miles away from my home

[ebon coyote]

yep

[odd condor]

yeah...

[simple halo]

ngl I wanted to do that but everything far away was so expensive 😭

[wind hornet]

But idts finance is an issue. In terms of opportunities and experience ?

[ebon coyote]

i wouldn't advise especially as an intl that you go to NEU. It's really expensive for what it is. It's expensive even as an American citizen

[stone creek]

this is exactly why i am reluctant to go in state

[wind hornet]

I wanted Boston man 😭 😭😭 would’ve been perfect

[ebon coyote]

the only difference is that amherst doesn't hold your hand when finding co-ops and finding boston housing in the summer for internships will be fairly difficult/expensive

[odd condor]

i was hoping with women being more represented in colleges these days being a male would be better for admission

but nope i'm an east asian male in cs so everything is still hard af 😭

[wind hornet]

Oh

[pure brook]

Oh are the gen eds hard or just boring 🫠🫠

[wind hornet]

What r u gonna choose ? R u int !

[ebon coyote]

why are you a steretype 💀

[ebon coyote]

nah, I'm domestic and oos for amherst. I'm probs gonna go with amherst unless I can negotiate a really good deal with NEU

[odd condor]

I just genuinely love cs and think it's the most interesting thing in the world what can I say

[weak citrus]

Depends. Most aren’t hard. Orgo is tough, physics is a lot of work. Labs tack on and can be time sensitive. But I got through them fine.

[wind hornet]

Oh, how do u plan to negotiate btw?

[ebon coyote]

you should tell that to every girl you meet if you wanna stay single

[odd condor]

😭

[ebon coyote]

I send an email begging them, mentioning my SAI, my NPC estimates, and comparing financial aid packages

cuz it is sad that I'm getting more from UMASS than NEU

18k vs 14k

and one has significantly less funding than the other

[mental osprey]

then id say NEU

[wind hornet]

Do u think there’s a chance if I mail them to switch me to Boston campus instead of London scholars

[ebon coyote]

no.

[pure brook]

Are there other scholarships or stuff

[wind hornet]

😭😭

[pure brook]

Cus leky i kinda need more aid !!

[ebon coyote]

probs not. Or they would've told me already since they automatically consider you

[pure brook]

Bro orgo sounds scary but interesting at the same time

[ebon coyote]

I'm just aiming for a higher amount of my current scholarship but idt it works that way sooooo i'm out of luck lol

[pure brook]

Hopefully i’ll be able to catch up to the workload

[pure brook]

:////

Thats a bummer

[wind hornet]

The only thing is London campus is shit and idk if spending 1yr there is gonna be worth it for 3yrs at Boston. I’ll have to do a lot of research now 😭😭

[weak citrus]

Everything in biochem is Orgo

[versed dove]

its rly not bad, i have friends who go there

[pure brook]

Oh !!

How cooked am i 💀💀💀

[ebon coyote]

you can actually get a UK degree I think which in some ways can def be worth it

it opens up opportunities in england

[wind hornet]

My degree is gonna be from Boston if I go to Boston after yr 1

[vital rapids]

What are ur guys’ coa if u don’t mind sharing im just curious

[ebon coyote]

if you do 2 years then you can get both

[weak citrus]

Orgo boils down to chem puzzles

[wind hornet]

What’s coa

[vital rapids]

Cost of attendance

[ebon coyote]

cost of attendance

[wind hornet]

Oh

Idk haven’t calculated yet

[weak citrus]

Finding the right peices

[vital rapids]

It shows it on the portal

[ebon coyote]

it does? where?

[wind hornet]

Yeah even I can’t see it

[vital rapids]

In the financial aid award
