I will say it is refreshing to see some of their tricks catch up to them. They sent "acceptance" letters to kids saying, go to Mills for a semester, then London, then join us on campus, but not really, at the Sheraton. Can't fool me northeastern. That's called a gap year, and its not a college experience if you're trying to build community and experience campus life. I do not get the popularity.

THen don't apply. Easy. Done and done.

Dp, but my kid didn’t, not remotely interested.

Yet here you are, again and again and again. You are too vested in this school, to not have an interest in your having been denied acceptance. Your lying about it is of no consequence to the rest of us, but you look more than a little foolish.

Not sure what point you are trying to make. Only enrolled student information is reported. If your son accepted his offer of admission, it would be reflected in the stats about his class published by NE. And I’m not angry about any NE admissions, just pointing out they don’t release any data about half their enrolled students making their admissions data much less useful than what is released by other universities.

It’s true they don’t report it (though alternate entry programs are often not included) but you are entirely off base about the number of students-it’s nowhere near half. Of course the yield is much lower for those programs than Boston admits so I could believe the admits were half, but of enrolled students it is in no way half.

+1

Also, OP fails to mention all of the other schools (small and large, public and private) that have programs at different campuses, but instead chooses to focus on NEU, due to OPs sour grapes of not being admitted to NEU.

OP's mission would be slightly less obvious if OP would not create so many NEU posts. Slightly.

Not op, but there is no other school that comes remotely close to starting students at other locations. And as mentioned above, the one notably exception I am aware of, Emory, releases statistics for its alternative entry campus in Oxford.

Should be no other school comes remotely close to starting schools at other campuses. It’s well over 1000 students each year at NE.

Of course! It just seems like some people have a weird intensity aboutan institution they aren’t connected considering or don’t have experience with. I genuinely cannot imagine being this strongly in a positive or negative way about some random school! I mean, I have less negative feelings about a grad school where I was egregiously sexually harassed so it tbh I just find it curious and a bit confusing.

You are obviously angry that you are found out. Just stop.

Why do people get angry at colleges LOL
I have three kids in colleges. They received all sort of decisions - accepted, deferred, denied, waitlisted, and alternate path admission

For example, one offered an alternate path admission by Georgia Tech. Basically 1 year somewhere else then to the main campus.
We thought that was obviously better than reject, and kept that option in hand for a year, and threw it away.
One was waitlisted by UVA(although VA schools were at the bottom of the list). So kid had option to go to Wise campus for a year and to the main campus.

At the end, they all were very satisfied with the schools they ended up attending, and so no hard feelings for other schools at all.

I think Tulane sometimes invokes a similar response for the same reason, it’s the other school well known for manipulating its admissions data and trying to game the ratings. The NE President actually bragged about doing it.

Let me guess - you manage to control yourself and not come to DCUM to voice your anger at any or all of those schools, because you are an adult, and you behave accordingly.

I have never heard of a school that does not have an additional campus, and would be concerned if a school I was considering did not, in this day and age. I also don't gauge which schools allegedly say what about what those schools do and do not do. I am not even as vested in my own DCs school - I can't imagine being that vested in a school that rejected us.

It’s still pretty weird. Columbia was put in unwr time out for actually lying, for example.

You never heard of a school with only one campus? Let me introduce you to a Princeton, Yale and Harvard, as well as 95 percent of colleges in this country.

NEU never lied about it, but OP wants to insist otherwise - while also neglecting how many other schools have additional campuses, and do they exact same thing. It seems very important to OP to keep banging their head against a wall, but expecting different results - ie: the epitome of insanity. There are not nearly as many threads started by OP about other schools, except on occasion to try to detract from OP's multiple NEU posts, which is what PPs rightfully find a peculiar pattern.
