Sorry this is gonna sound dumb, but what is cs? Everyone’s talking about it and I’m just like ??? (btw nothing in IL yet, hopefully they’ll be up at 7 central for all my lovely midwesterners)
computer science
@PengsPhils thank you so much, I was actually able to relax for 5 seconds now
@sjw06089 Wow! My son goes to Kettle Moraine. He played rec baseball in Hartland. Good luck!
This whole system is bs tbh
Just asking again but does anyone know when decisions for Hawaii will be released?
@kingslayer68 gl, i got denied w a SAT 20 points higher. i hate that test.
Accepted NUin, business school major from NY.
32 ACT
3.9 GPA
ECs: video games, sleeping, youtube
Full pay + no merit = No go.
Kind of sucks to see so many people with amazing GPAs getting rejected because they don’t have insane test scores. Idk how Northeastern can see someone with a 4.0 UW and high course rigor and decide to reject them just because they don’t have a 1550/34+…
Haven’t heard back yet, but does Northeastern consider your major within your college? I applied as a math major and have a perfect SAT math score and SAT II math lvl 2 math score. But will it really be looked more closely at due to my major of interest?
im seeing a lot of kids with lower stats than other majors get into the business school. i noticed this while looking at the threads for past years as well. i wonder why?
For everyone confused by stats, Northeastern admissions are indeed holistic and considerate of other factors. Geography and yield also likely come into play. If you look through the thread you will find many acceptances with low test scores as well as high ones. Good luck everyone!
@ACollegeHopeful3 I think (hope) for the business school they might consider ECs more than stats in comparison to the other schools. But there was a website I found earlier than had their last years undergrad acceptance rate at 21%. I am.pretty sad I applied as a double major (poly sci + business admin) because i don’t think I’d be reviewed by the business school because my ECs for business were pretty good (which would play out well hopefully). Anyway I still haven’t gotten my decision and hoping for the best. (3.25 gpa, 3.36 after 1st sen. 4.25, 4.36 W, weird system really extreme grade trend. 33 act superscore)
Accepted!!
Business/finance
White male from NJ
SAT 1500
3 sport varsity athlete captain of all three
Good EC’s, leadership spots, and volunteer
Three kids got accepted from my school alone, it’s insane!
Is anyone else a journalism major that has heard back? I’ve been following this thread pretty closely for a few days and I don’t thonk I’ve seen one.
Any advice on what to do if waitlisted ? 3.9uw goa, 1560 SAT NMF ?
Accepted!
Chemical Engineering, Biochemistry
From NJ
@Texasstudent827 that makes sense i suppose. just an interesting trend, kinda wishing maybe i had switched majors so i had a better shot. probably also hurt that i didn’t have a portfolio when applying to CAMD.
Do the scholarship go with decision letter?
@quinntheeskimo i would send a LOCI and maybe an additional LOR and thats really all you can do
