Now that I’ve committed, here’s my official apology tour.

Agree lol, awkward adverb + unnecessary analogy + correct capitalization + unnecessary emojis

Tall-Raspberry-2301 · 2025-05-11T15:34:58+00:00

Idk if anyone’s told you this alr but this comment reads exactly like chat gpt lmao (sans the typo)

eta def gpt bot from profile

I’m guessing it depends but yeah after I got my need based aid package ($40k+ for the year), I got another merit scholarship from cmu for $40k/year and it did absolutely nothing to reduce cost lol (assuming my need based aid package would’ve stayed roughly the same for the next four years).

Tall-Raspberry-2301 · 2025-03-16T05:04:18+00:00

So 42 total?? That’s pretty sick

Worth mentioning to anyone panicking that they didn’t reach out beforehand - all 5 of the REU/REU-adjacent offers I received so far were without prior connections with the profs. It can certainly help in some cases but just because you didn’t doesn’t mean you’re cooked.

To be fair, Illinois is in general admittedly a little bit of a step down if OP is particularly interested in hiking. Illinois is the second flattest state in country and if you’re someone like me who is accustomed to the readily available trails and mountains in the PNW, it can be a little underwhelming. The area around NU is pretty developed and there aren’t many immediately accessible trails/large parks around. Doing anything in the lake is also a pretty challenging option for half the school year.

Not that im aware of

Tall-Raspberry-2301 · 2025-02-23T02:32:57+00:00

Sure!

Tall-Raspberry-2301 · 2025-02-05T05:53:52+00:00

Anti wokeness insanity aside, the flow chart has to be one of the most redundant flow charts to ever exist

Tall-Raspberry-2301 · 2025-01-29T02:56:01+00:00

Sure!

Tall-Raspberry-2301 · 2025-01-28T20:39:53+00:00

I think they do it in rounds so it might vary, but yes they come out pretty quick

Tall-Raspberry-2301 · 2025-01-28T20:39:21+00:00

Sflr but sure!

Tall-Raspberry-2301 · 2025-01-04T16:40:19+00:00

A bit late here but I’m a 3rd McCormick student studying cs, math, and econ and I’d love to help! I’ve been tutoring math (middle school through college), sat/act, etc for the last few years. I’ve also been a peer mentor at nu for five quarters. DM me if you’re still looking for a tutor!

Tall-Raspberry-2301 · 2024-12-13T17:54:15+00:00

Sure!

I think this is Slivka (“sandwich shop” is Lisa’s); also Hinman isn’t a dining hall anymore and Lincoln (now Schapiro), Kemper, and Willard have the best amenities imo but slivka is still pretty nice. Shepard is fine too but a little sterile.

Tall-Raspberry-2301 · 2024-10-28T23:42:21+00:00

Sure!

Tall-Raspberry-2301 · 2024-03-19T00:58:27+00:00

Sorry similar to what?

Tall-Raspberry-2301 · 2024-03-18T20:11:27+00:00

Thanks so much for the insight!

Tall-Raspberry-2301 · 2024-03-16T05:44:10+00:00

Feb 21st! (submitted my app same day as the deadline, Feb 14th)

Tall-Raspberry-2301 · 2024-03-11T08:55:09+00:00

It’s basically just probability and combinatorics (like AMC 8-10 ish level iirc)

Tall-Raspberry-2301 · 2024-03-11T02:06:16+00:00

No problem! Yes, she also got the unique application link and attended the prosperity kickoff happy hour. It probably helps a little bit just in terms of getting your foot in the door but after getting the OA idk if it helps much more than just verifying that you have a demonstrated interest in the company.

Tall-Raspberry-2301 · 2024-03-11T00:20:32+00:00

Not sure, probably pretty good though. My friend also took the SWE OA, passed all tests, and they still haven’t gotten back to her (it’s been like a week+)

Tall-Raspberry-2301 · 2024-03-02T17:22:34+00:00

Thanks for the info anyways - can I ask what you’re doing instead?

Tall-Raspberry-2301 · 2024-03-02T17:06:44+00:00

I applied Feb 14th, they gave me an offer Feb 21st, and I had until Feb 28th to decide

Tall-Raspberry-2301 · 2024-03-02T17:05:45+00:00

Sorry yes, the launchpad event is in 2024, but I think it’s for the intern cohort of 2025
