+1 Great phrase! I had to look this up - NAILED IT! Thank you. |
They have an admissions program where you start your freshmen year in South America. It sounds very innovative and from what we were told would be expanded in the coming years. |
I am not sure if it is all hype or not, but purportedly it has a better placement rate for med school than Boston University The co-op program alllows that part of the med school application to stand out. I guess med schools are looking at work in a health field as a big positive, and in lower socio-economic settings even more so. The Northeastern health co-ops take advantage of that I guess. |
There are several very strong programs at Northeastern, and med school placement is just one small part of it. OP and their ilk having periodic mental breakdowns over this fact is not going to change anything. |
Agree, it's why you see many students taking NEU over HYPSM, those schools don't have good job prospects compared to neu, it's ultimately about the pocket book, and it only helps that NEU is harder to get into than half those schools. |
Many? No. - signed NEU incoming freshman parent |
Uh huh. Sure you are. |
I'm not so sure. At our school very veryfew would turn down an Ivy/Stanford/MIT for ANY school. More often what you see are students who are qualified for the Ivies but rejected that move on down. That's the unfortunate truth for every school except the top 10 or so. |
Yet another DP here who lurks on this thread and has no strong opinion about this school. Both sides are off the rails here, but the people who keep defending the school should just stop. You aren't helping the situation with your defensive tone and relentless chiming in. Just stop and let the thread die. |
Which is more likely: I'm telling the truth (that I have a rising freshman at NEU) or you are telling the truth (many students pick NEU over HYPSM)? |
This is just false. At dc's School the 4 students who got into neu all took them over top 10s, including Caltech. It varies by school. |
Of course it varies, but there's still aggregate data. https://www.parchment.com/c/college/tools/college-cross-admit-comparison.php?compare=Northeastern+University&with=Stanford+University https://www.parchment.com/c/college/tools/college-cross-admit-comparison.php?compare=Northeastern+University&with=Brown+University https://www.parchment.com/c/college/tools/college-cross-admit-comparison.php?compare=Northeastern+University&with=Duke+University |
Dear Pinocchio, School name, pls. |
DP. Yeah, this is laughable. My kuds are at 2 different magnets. Several neu admits. No one is choosing it over T10. The marketer can't stop. Please, can we move on from this? |
This is the funniest thing I have read on DCUM. Thanks for the.laugh!! |
