[lyric tulip]

trying to be a primary teacher in the big 26

[lyric tulip]

[restive elbow]

[lyric tulip]

yo yk what maybe we will meet in grad school

[static kindle]

Calc BC was rough lmao

Retakes saved me!

[restive elbow]

😭

[lyric tulip]

my school has a no retake policy

[static kindle]

Yeah our grading is really stupid

[restive elbow]

i’m trying to stack extra credit

thank god my teacher is generous with it

[lyric tulip]

my school hates us

[static kindle]

If u get like 2 wrong u automatically are capped at a B, but then you get as many retakes opps as you want

[lyric tulip]

we have no extra credit no retakes

they just want us to diee

[restive elbow]

whaaaat

omg

[static kindle]

Yeah its tragic

[lyric tulip]

well you get what you get

[static kindle]

Most people (including myself) on the last day are just going class to class begging for retakes

[lyric tulip]

mentally checked out

[restive elbow]

good luck with that man

[static kindle]

Im doing good rn

Other than AP French

[restive elbow]

uhoh

[lyric tulip]

oh no

[restive elbow]

the ap languages are so hard

dishhdsjcjfh

[static kindle]

Yeah I prob shouldn't even have taken it

I just didn't want to do Physics E&M, and I wanted to be able to test out of the language requirement

But now Im not even taking the AP exam 😭

[restive elbow]

ooh yeah that’s reasonable

[lyric tulip]

im just gonna say nu is relatively less popular in the ed megathread

[static kindle]

That's what I'm saying

Like 11 comments total

[lyric tulip]

im praying no one from my area code cares abu children

[restive elbow]

yeah i haven’t seen a. lot of people

[static kindle]

And on College Confidential there are only 3

Hoping there's only like 5000 applicants this year

[lyric tulip]

no one wants to teach primary kids

and that no one wants to do math (yuck)

[static kindle]

Lolll

I don't really even want to do math, I just want to do MMSS at Weinberg

And I didn't want to do economics or stats

So math it was!

[lyric tulip]

whats that

[static kindle]

Mathematical Methods in the Social Sciences

[lyric tulip]

crazy

[restive elbow]

that sounds so cool :O

[last badger]

nu lowk a sleeper ed pick

[static kindle]

Yeah hopefully it'll be good

[lyric tulip]

please tell me that's true

[last badger]

as a school it’s about as good as like penn and such

[lyric tulip]

my gosh

ya'll have such intresting majors

[restive elbow]

lolol

[last badger]

yet it seems like multitudes more people ed to penn

for that wharton prestige

[restive elbow]

northwestern is underrated

[last badger]

there’s like 20 to penn and only 3 nu at my school

[restive elbow]

idk

[last badger]

I’m just hoping I can swoop in and nab one of the nu spots

signed my early decisions agreement in December 🤣

[restive elbow]

🫣

[lyric tulip]

me too!!

[last badger]

I only joined ur guys’ ed pool just last week

nu can’t say no to me twice right

[lyric tulip]

why would they ever

[restive elbow]

from qb?

[last badger]

yuh

0-13 for the month of December so far

if I can make it 1-14 I’ll be happy

[restive elbow]

good luck :DD

[last badger]

best of luck to u as well

WE got it twin

[vague osprey]

im so nervous 😭

[azure grail]

guys i told my band director i was applying to nu for bienen and he didnt even know what northwestern was 😭

[wide lily]

kms bro

im gonna die on tuesday

[static kindle]

I'm already dead

[wide lily]

im so so so nervous

like i actually can't wait two more days

[static kindle]

We got this 🫡

[wide lily]

what major did you apply as?

[static kindle]

Math at Weinberg wbu

[wide lily]

iems in mccormick!

[static kindle]

Ooh fun

[blissful glen]

thats cool that we applying to the same major

hopefully we both get in on tuesday 🙏

[storm scroll]

Northwestern doesn’t really admit by major

[kindred isle]

Northwestern is the most underground t15

[azure grail]

yeah lol

[distant walrus]

I would say Hopkins is more underground for everything but health related, and neuro

[kindred isle]

Fr? I knew of jhu when I was 12 but not northwestern until I was 17 and starting to think about colleges

[distant walrus]

I think I learned about NU before JHU, but I think Jhu is def more well known as it has insane biomedical research

[safe sapphire]

northwestern would be less niche if it wasn't in the midwest

it's not on either coast so it kind of gets missed

[distant walrus]

Uchicago isn’t that niche and it’s in the Midwest too

[kindred isle]

Even then in junior yr I was like "northwestern northeastern nobody remembers what the better school is"

[distant walrus]

But like tbh I like how NU is niche

[safe sapphire]

I'd say that's just history of the institution and chicago in the name but you're right

[distant walrus]

I don’t really want to go to a college for how well known a college is

[safe sapphire]

or the essay prompts

[vague osprey]

unrelated im applying to carleton rn and this prompt is really fun

[distant walrus]

I want to go somewhere where I can learn a lot

[distant walrus]

Nice, that’s fire

I remember when I wrote my Carleton prompt

[vague osprey]

the only issue is that my personal statement answers the prompt already 😭

[distant walrus]

I wrote a very terrible essay

[vague osprey]

i guess ill talk about a different person LOL

[distant walrus]

But like I submitted it as I knew I would get in

As a recruited athlete

[distant walrus]

😭😭😭

[vague osprey]

oh damn what sport?

[distant walrus]

Does Carleton still let u pick one out of the three prompts to answer

[distant walrus]

Tennis

[vague osprey]

nooo its only like "Think about someone you connect with who's different from you. What do you find most meaningful about your interactions with them? (300 word limit)"

[distant walrus]

Damn they changed the prompt

[distant walrus]

It’s a great prompt tho, very Carleton like

[vague osprey]

mhm! i like it

[distant walrus]

Yeah

[vague osprey]

i thought i was so niche for making my personal statement about that though 😭

i guess ill write this supplemental today and tmrw while im waiting for NU to come back

[distant walrus]

Carleton’s old prompt used to be choose 1 of 3 prompts and it was like either the background essay, the what tradition would u invent and like what would ur senior research topic be

[distant walrus]

😭😭😭

[distant walrus]

Good luck!

[wide lily]

praying

[raven dove]

I’m just procrastinating all supps untill decisions 😭

[blissful glen]

crap i wasnt too anxious before but like within the past 30 minutes a tsunami just like hit me

https://tenor.com/view/please7tv-please-beg-pray-hope-gif-3860103425950934673

[restive elbow]

literally like 50 hours left

i’m so nervous

[kindred isle]

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

i think i should accept that i will be seeing a reject/defer on tuesday

brace myself

preprae for the worst

and receive a nice surprise maybe

sigh

so many smart af kids from my school get rejected from schools that would be a perfect fit for them

[distant walrus]

I wish all of u guys the same luck of @timid kelp with NU (he’s so far 2/2 for opening NU admissions decisions)

[timid kelp]

lol true

[vague osprey]

wait whats teh lore

[timid kelp]

I opened @distant walrus application in my bio lab class

[vague osprey]

he was with you ??

[distant walrus]

I had volunteering at that time so I couldn’t open it

[vague osprey]

😭

thats hilarious

[timid kelp]

Nah I was at Nu bio class. He was in Carleton

[static kindle]

162595 (and counting) seconds left!

[kindred isle]

im gonna start the constnat refresh at 4pm est

so 3pm cst?

[static kindle]

I would do 3:45 but that's just me

Very unlikely it is 3 CT

[restive elbow]

yeah i’d do 3:45ct at earliest, maybe 3:55?

[static kindle]

Yeah around then

Its stupid how they don't send an email

[restive elbow]

do they not?

i thought they’d at least send one out to let us know that there was a status update or smth

[static kindle]

Idk

I was with my ED friend last year

and he didn't get an email

Until like 6:30

But it had been out for a couple of hours

Might have been an anomoly tho

[storm scroll]

Idts…

I got my email at the same time as portal update

Or at least within 20 mins

[static kindle]

Maybe 🤷‍♂️

That means I don't have to constantly refresh which would be nice lol

[wide lily]

im gonna be constantly refreshing anyway

im so freaking nervous bro

[azure grail]

everytime i think abt this my heart starts racing ❤️‍🩹

[chrome tusk]

I actually crashed out so hard because of portal anxiety yesterday

Every time I think of Northwestern results I feel like throwing up

[restive elbow]

it’s so hard to focus

i can’t study

🫠

[chrome tusk]

I feel like northwestern balances itself out EDwise by being kinda niche, but also having the highest ED rate of the other T10s

So it's like attractive to many people in that sense too who just care to settle

But it is a bit of a sleeper pick, which I like

It's so pretty and the prompts are so fun

Anyway I'm manifesting for y'all

[vague osprey]

i really hope i get in...

[wide lily]

no literally

like i feel like im gonna have a heart attack waiting

[chrome tusk]

Don't be like the NYU person who fainted then got deferred 😭

[raven dove]

#preparing for rejection 😭😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫

[glad wigeon]

1 day left in 25 mins

[raven dove]

idkkk I feel like everyone and their moms Ed here espeicialkg the cracked ppl that are lured by the acceptance rate

[static kindle]

I really hope not

[chrome tusk]

The most cracked ppl tend to try REA for more future variety, no?

[raven dove]

wait u righttt all the insane ppl at my school REA Stanford or ED upenn

#cope

the rejection will hit me so bad

[chrome tusk]

Same

Dw you'll be fine

I'm scared too

[raven dove]

after NU my 2nd dream is vandy so ed2 will be even harder 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫

[chrome tusk]

I was originally gonna do that then I actually visited vandy and realized the weather was too hot 😭

[raven dove]

I honestly dgaf ab weather, my bipolar ass state prepares me for all of the above

[chrome tusk]

Gl with both of them

My mindset is that if I get in, yay! If I don't, then at least I get to farm YouTube likes using reaction video content

[restive elbow]

wait did that happen here? whaaaat

[chrome tusk]

Umm wait lemme find an article

[chrome tusk]

Ok nvm, it was an anonymous school

[stark ibex]

hi nudwestenrsers

how are you all doing

[signal pagoda]

hey here are the hq version so sorry i kept forgetting to put it in google drive.... 😞 https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1d77Kb56rt9jsIwiWIcz7lDUr49Mywfec?usp=sharing

[keen birch]

Guys I’m about to send in my application (I’m def not getting in)

[jaunty fox]

Northwestern’s location is special: on the shore of Lake Michigan, steps from downtown Evanston, just a few miles from Chicago. What aspects of our location are most compelling to you, and why?

For this prompt

This prompt asks you to highlight your interest in one of Northwestern’s crown jewels – its proximity to the bustling city of Chicago. There are many different directions you can take this response, but the most important quality of your answer lies in demonstrating the personal impact and benefits the location will offer you.

Set up your response by sharing a personal anecdote or personal interest that you have, before diving into what Northwestern’s location offers for someone like you. Finally, wrap up your response by connecting the location back to Northwestern itself, and exactly how the school ties into the life you hope to live there.

Can I just talk about the environment, Korean town, and friends living close

[blissful glen]

One day

[cerulean ferry]

does anyone know roughly what time decisions will release

oh my god im so nervous

[kindred isle]

im gonna be refreshing from 4pm est onwards

wait guys can we make a “ping list” of ppl who want to be pinged when decisions are out

copy paste the text and add ur username to the end:

• @/enya_yurself

[blissful glen]

I’m prob gonna be offline from discord

[azure grail]

i think they're gonna ping everyone

[kindred isle]

Who is they

Also does the everyone ping everyone in the thread or in the whole server

[static kindle]

Thread I think

[kindred isle]

ok I'll ping Chloe or some admin

when it comes out

[cerulean ferry]

good luck everyone

[chrome tusk]

I'm so scared fuys

[cerulean ferry]

me too

[chrome tusk]

Dy guys know when it'll be released

[plucky geyser]

Yes thread

If we pinged the entire server we would have zero members left

It’s part of why I like keeping the megathreads in a forum bc then people don’t need to have 50 different ping roles for all schools

You just join and leave a thread based on if you wanna be pinged

[kindred isle]

Icic

[ebon granite]

does anyone know when they start releasing decisions?

[vague osprey]

[static kindle]

🙏🤞

[static kindle]

When u didn’t match did they invite u to do ED or how does that work

[chrome tusk]

I literally just felt bile rise in my throat

[chrome tusk]

Home, I'm so anxious help

[static kindle]

I'm going to lock myself in the basement and do it lol

[chrome tusk]

I just reread my whole application and I had some fire bars so I'm praying

[static kindle]

I could never do that

I would start doubting everything

[chrome tusk]

Honestly it made me feel more confident because

I feel so desensitized to my essays now that I've used them for so many schools, but rereading one from a while ago makes me feel good

I have a cohesive story, I think

[static kindle]

What school did u apply to

[chrome tusk]

Obviously northwestern 😂

[static kindle]

Bruh

U know what I meant

[chrome tusk]

Oh

Like uhh

So far, the UCs, Emory, NU, Vanderbilt, Stanford, Santa Clara (accepted), CMU, and one more I forgot help

Usc

[chrome tusk]

How about u

[static kindle]

So far just UChicago, MIT, and state schools like UMich, UVA, UNC, Minnesota, etc.

I am hoping I get to withdraw them all tho

[timid kelp]

😭😭😭good luck everyone

[last badger]

when u dont match, some schools give u the option to roll over into early decision

[timid kelp]

Future Wildcats

[kindred isle]

Once I got an 87 on a paper but it was the end of school so I was just glad to get it done and then I come back to reread it and it's the absolute most heart wrenching and fire paper I've ever written and for sure deserved better than 87

[last badger]

some examples include columbia, dartmouth, nu, penn, bu, etc.

[static kindle]

Ooh that sounds cool does it help at all?

[last badger]

about as helpful as doing ed vs. rd is

qb ed = ca ed

[chrome tusk]

Yas

When I get in I'm gonna be so happy

When, not if

Joking because toxic manifestation is bad

[chrome tusk]

Yes u get me

My recs should be good too

I did my best so whatever happens is whatever

The decision has already been made anyway

[timid kelp]

Trust you’ll get in

[chrome tusk]

Thanks northwestern guru

[timid kelp]

I’m not a NU guru

[chrome tusk]

😭 ur helping the young'uns get in

[timid kelp]

[raven dove]

[chrome tusk]

Real

[raven dove]

[chrome tusk]

I have a big final tmrw and I cant

[chrome tusk]

Realest shit bruh

U got this

Lock in

[raven dove]

I’ve been searching NU reaction videos for the past 30 mins

[chrome tusk]

Yeah stop doing that it doesn't help

Play them in the background while yiu work and don't look at them

https://youtu.be/dQH3OZ0AHGk?si=wp8zcyKrd9VOo7QX

College acceptance subliminal

It's funny

[blissful glen]

everyone rn:

[cerulean ferry]

[ebon granite]

i’d rather js not get in then get deferred to be rejected again

[wide lily]

no literally

[ebon granite]

3 from my class of 90 ED’d

[woven pollen]

NONE of us are getting in bttw

[wide lily]

i know a girl who got deferred and rejected from mit last year

poor girl bro could u imagine getting strung out for 3 months just to get rejected

[cerulean ferry]

your class is so small...

[blissful glen]

3 including myself out of like 250

ed

[rough basin]

exactly same

[cerulean ferry]

including me i think we have 4 out of 650

[ebon granite]

so cooked bc one of them is rlly similar application to me except he got like rlly good Tennis while i got more leadership

think that hurts my chances

[rough basin]

dude same w my friends

[cerulean ferry]

do any of you know how the music conservatory works

[rough basin]

their stats are basically the same competitive wise

[cerulean ferry]

my friend applied and got rejected already

[blissful glen]

all decisions are made now we'll find out in a couple hours

[ebon granite]

huh

[cerulean ferry]

yeah, im not sure how it works cause im not applying

something about music

[blissful glen]

hm

[cerulean ferry]

hes still allowed to apply ed however

but since most of his ecs are about music, it kinda hurts his chances

[azure grail]

shoot he probably didn't pass the prescreening

[cerulean ferry]

i see i see

[azure grail]

i'm applying music as well, and it's like u have to pass the first recording phase to move on to live auditions

[cerulean ferry]

good luck!!!

[azure grail]

thanks 🙏

[chrome tusk]

Me too lol

[cerulean ferry]

im just curious about the median stats for ED applicants

not sure if we're allowed to share here

[chrome tusk]

But I have a good balanced EC list that isn't concentrated in music so it'll be fine

[chrome tusk]

Yeah I applied musicology but still had to pass this difficult cello prescreening

[blissful glen]

gotta remember that the stats here will prob be inflated

[woven pollen]

im here to spread negativity, we are NOT gettitng in today

[chrome tusk]

Cus Hans takes only like 3 ppl

[blissful glen]

crazy

[rough basin]

whats the ed acceptance rate?

[chrome tusk]

And not musicology ppl, so I didn't even pass

[cerulean ferry]

i heard its about 20%

[chrome tusk]

20

[rough basin]

pretty good

[chrome tusk]

The other 80 get rejected though

[cerulean ferry]

if you check last years thread it was about 50 for A2C

[chrome tusk]

They have a 1% defer rate

[chrome tusk]

Wait really

That's crazy

[azure grail]

holy shit

[cerulean ferry]

wait i might have lied

im checking again

may have gotten confused with a different college

more people got waitlisted than accepted surprisingly

[azure grail]

yikesss

[azure grail]

[cerulean ferry]

[wide lily]

https://tenor.com/view/frieren-dies-cold-fall-snow-sousou-no-frieren-gif-10470803995544490169

[safe sapphire]

[safe sapphire]

I think I cooked on my multi final but I was equally distracted

[chrome tusk]

Wait no I get u

I'm a music person so I get u

[spare raft]

why dont they say what time it comes out like ts not that deep

[cerulean ferry]

thats what im saying

[azure grail]

cuz like i talked about how since ai is like such a big thing rn and like as a musician listening to artists that are true to their craft and stuff

[chrome tusk]

They're nonchalant and mysterious that's why

[wide lily]

literally

[azure grail]

it's like made me realize the importance of live performance and real music

[chrome tusk]

That's rlly good

[cerulean ferry]

ohh wait thats super interesting

[distant walrus]

i had like a 3.82 college gpa when i applied, a 1520 sat, i did 3 research internships for like 440 ish hours (contributed to 1 paper that was sent to pub at that time and now accepted), helped raise like 11k for charity with an instrument, was internationally ranked in a sport in under 18s and played d3 in that sport, and also volunteered in many different places and shadowed a doctor (this doesn't dox me that much i hope)

[blissful glen]

https://tenor.com/view/please7tv-please-beg-pray-hope-gif-3860103425950934673

[distant walrus]

they expect more ec's from transfers

[azure grail]

holy shi

[distant walrus]

they expect more from transfers than from hs students

and i was also an international student which made it a lot harder

[azure grail]

im cooked

[distant walrus]

nah they expect more ec's from college transfers than from hs students

cause u have more years

[ebon granite]

praying it comes out closer to 4 this year

[distant walrus]

usually NU loves 4 pm EST which is 5 pm Central time

[cerulean ferry]

wait i thought it was the other way

[ebon granite]

this yr is the exception, it’s coming out 3 cst !!

[cerulean ferry]

5 est 4 cst

[ebon granite]

85 is

i think

[blissful glen]

[ebon granite]

[humble garden]

When it's coming out?

[blissful glen]

you mean the other way around???

[ebon granite]

5 here is 6 est

[cerulean ferry]

wait

oops

[distant walrus]

no since the paper was sent for publication and like for research purposes u don't want to submit them to other places just in case cause u don't want someone to steal ur paper

[vague osprey]

guys we're cooked

[blissful glen]

its about to be 4est

[vague osprey]

if we cannot do this 😭

[ebon granite]

4 here is 5 est

[vague osprey]

the greatest minds of our generation

[distant walrus]

central time is 1 hour ahead of eastern time

[ebon granite]

future northwestern student btw

[distant walrus]

central time is 1 hour ahead of eastern time

[wide lily]

https://tenor.com/view/bro-is-finished-cooked-finished-dog-closing-eyes-dog-with-eyes-closed-gif-8933440936102921947

i'm honestly stupid

[wide lily]

lowk the best part of my app otherwise im cooked

[distant walrus]

ur decisions will likely be out in 2 hours

cause they love 5 pm central time

[ebon granite]

u don’t need to know time zones ,u go to northwestern

[wide lily]

bro.

[distant walrus]

i don't think that's how it works

[blissful glen]

https://tenor.com/view/let-me-in-eric-andre-wanna-come-in-gif-13730108

[distant walrus]

i was an international student transfer they expect more ec's

[cerulean ferry]

i had 30 pts lower than u :((

[distant walrus]

a 1570 sat is good

i had a 1520 sat

and it was good enough

[ebon granite]

im rlly hoping that myth abt 1520+ all being the same was true fr

[wide lily]

i'm so nervous

[distant walrus]

my twin brother had a 1530 sat and got into NU too

[grim anvil]

on the atc website, how come it says NU is out?

[distant walrus]

i really doubt there's a significant difference between a 1520 and like a 1550 or a 1600

[cerulean ferry]

sorry what

[ebon granite]

was he also an INTERNATIONAL SPORT PLAYER??

[distant walrus]

yes

[ebon granite]

ok so

[blissful glen]

[woven pollen]

[cerulean ferry]

[ebon granite]

[wide lily]

[distant walrus]
