common questions i get about northeastern university

[@girlbye7477]

When you talked about diversity, you said that went to schools that you were the minority I don’t think it’d be THAT BAD, but for me that’s always been going to predominately black schools almost my whole life, it concerns me. It’s not just a northeastern problem it’s an every college in America problem, there’s just not a decent black population in any school. I’m worried about the culture shock ☹️

[@taylorareed]

girl BYE! you’re completely right and i can’t say there won’t be a culture shock anywhere you go (unless its an HBCU) but there are a lot of black people who will experience/have experienced the same feelings as you and connecting with them definitely helps

[@abyss6484]

I'm worried about culture shock bc my school experience has had like a relatively v high Asian population lol

[@maewhelan1148]

thank you so much for this! I also have a 31 ACT and a 3.6 gpa, so this has made me feel a lot better because I've been pretty nervous about getting into NEU. I have 9 extracurriculars, of course some are stronger than others, like business programs and charity hours compared to hobbies like guitar and having 2 jobs. My essay is about how Frank Ocean's album Blonde helped me express myself through music when overcoming hard times, and how that made me realize I want to become a music therapist. I only didn't do ED because of the price of NEU, but it is my top choice!! I also feel a little better about getting in simply because NEU really likes my high school, they have around a 38% acceptance rate for it. If I get in and end up attending, I hope to see you around!!

3.6 uw or w?

Tim Sullivan welcome to neu!

[@dontbeaneater]

You are so pretty. Also thank you for sharing your experience. It is really helpful to see someone who looks like me in a school I am applying to.

[@taylorareed]

thank you and im happy to help a fellow black girl 💕

[@devyanshichandra9094]

i'm a prospective student and i'm worried covid-19 might affect the acceptance rates, but this video helped me feel less anxious about everything. hope to see u soon at NU!

[@sydney.d]

Just committed so hope to see you on campus! Tysm for making this! Yeah tuition was so scary but it was reduced by a ton so it’s definitely very subjective

[@taylorareed]

Sydney D'Argenio omg yea seeing that initial total gave me a heart attack freshman year lmaoo see you around campus!

[@jaymeandcapri]

This is the realest dorm review I’ve heard. None have mentioned the roaches and mice. Just saw a mouse trap here and there

[@jovanal3217]

I like NU but its rather far away from my home and in an expensive city so I'm not sure whether I want to apply or not :(( either way thanks for the video!!

[@allysoso]

I just got in today!! I’m so exciteddddd

[@BreannaMcClarey]

I'm heading into my 3rd year at NU and am a tour guide, and agreed with pretty much all your answers!

[@hazyreve4463]

Thank you for this!!! I’m applying to Northeastern next year!!

[@0v3rtd]

It’s ok if you don’t want to answer, but did you get accepted?

[@nitaeroles4997]

I'm gonna be a transfer junior bio major next year so its such a coincidence that I found this video! Super helpful

[@lukelarssen7072]

69k?? the undergraduate sounds even more expensive than the master programs! my master program only about 700 per credits

[@taylorareed]

J W woah really??? im jealous now lol

Hey please I need your help, I'm black too and I'll like to apply for the North Eastern scholarship and I don't know how to go about it

[@Ley_19867]

How is the work pace/load? Do you feel like you have to be catching up all the time?

[@meowco69]

My daughter got into Northeastern but determined we can't afford it.

[@vivianyam66]

What types of clubs did you participate in and did you have leadership positions?

[@taylorareed]

Vivian Yam I did MUN, charity work, ran a random boardgame club, and was a captain of the vball team :) so really not much lol

[@vivianyam66]

taylorareed thanks I submitted my application for EA. I’m nervous cause decisions are coming out soon.

[@elsiedebrah8122]

Hi Taylor, can I get into NEU pharmaceutical sciences program right after high school?

[@ashleyfreeman7203]

Thank you!!!

[@beyondthesmiles1081]

Drexel vs Northeastern? I’ve been doing my own research and I’m just not sure... I’m going to apply to both tho...

[@BreannaMcClarey]

both have a co-op program, although NU's has been established for over 100 years so it's way more established and you'll get more connections. NU has more prestige and is more difficult to get into

[@cristianibanez581]

I just got ACCEPTED!! So excited but I have a question. Is it better to have your car? Or you don’t need it?

[@taylorareed]

Cristian Ibanez Omg congrats!!! Welcome to the NEU fam! and definitiely do not bring a car lol we all use the trains/buses/walk everywhere and only ppl with far coop commutes use cars bc parking is $$$

[@enriquecalderon1696]

hey bro congrats, just wondering what your stats were? neu sounds nice and I've seen many people with different stats get in.

[@aliceball3074]

[@kelli7895]

Do you know any northeastern students apart of NROTC through BU?

[@lovetennis1969]

You’re so funny! Great info

[@abbysmith4176]

are there many international students at northeastern? ☺️ I am making a list of colleges in the us that I want to apply to because I tend to work harder when there’s an outcome haha I am only a sophomore in high school but as an international student I have been researching early since there’s so much that goes into it.

[@taylorareed]

abby smith way to get a headstart! i love with two international students actually lol but there are definitely a lottt of international kids in general too

[@abbysmith4176]

taylorareed ah thats great, I am definitely considering applying northeastern! thank you so much for replying :)

[@BreannaMcClarey]

18% of undergrads at NU are international, which is one of the highest in the nation!

[@ilovecows303]

how easy is it to communicate w ur teacher? are the classes usually big???

[@sydneyzucker9258]

i believe that the average class is about 20 students but i could be wrong.

[@TackyTuesdaysPPP]

thank u sm

[@hanfaajmal3161]

Hi! Im considering attending Northeastern this fall for a health sciences and psychology major while on the pre-med track, but I'm really conflicted between picking an in state school or NEU because of the pre med track... I'm really worried that the NEU pre med won't be bearable in comparison to an in state school, do you have any advice or overall opinion on northeastern's pre med track and how to survive it?

[@taylorareed]

Hi! So honestly there is no added intensity of the pre-med track if you are already in STEM courses since they line up with your major mostly. The only added stress at NEU is trying to schedule applying to med school/MCAT studying with your coop schedule. NEU in general is kinda hard but every college is really. So surviving just takes time management, planning, and knowing when to take a break loll :)

[@ashuri8184]

How much would you say tuition is if you decide to commute starting the first year?

[@taylorareed]

Ashley Lemus Sorry I’m really not sure but if you look up how much room/board is, then subtract it from that total you could estimate it?

[@ashuri8184]

taylorareed okay thank you!!

[@BreannaMcClarey]

i believe room and board is around $16,000 every year! so you'd just be paying for tuition which is around $53,000

[@lexi7154]

Would you say that Northeastern has a lot of African American students and do you know wether the business department is good?

[@taylorareed]

Alexis Yes there are a lot of us considering it is a big school but we are definitely not the majority. Also I’ve heard great things about the business department!

[@vanessagedeon2815]

Was ur high school gpa weight or unweighted?

[@taylorareed]

Vanessa Gedeon it was unweighted i believe
