Oxford college students have the same, if not higher, stats...It's just a liberal arts college.

But still, great point. That 1/100th of one grade point probably results in a massive differential from one campus to the other.

Yup 2 yesrs in the middle of nowhere.

Compared to that, 1 semester or 1year study abroad in the places like London, Paris, Madrid etc. even Oakland sound better and student stats are not significantly lower, just a fraction like you said.

Their fraction is the difference between 3.88 and 3.89. Northeastern versus NUBound is much more significant. The kids are way dumber.

What makes you think 2 years in Oxford, GA is more attractive than 1 year in London, Paris, Madrid, Dublin, etc.??
You are weird.

Because one is wothna T25, and the other is with a T60.

This…

You're hilarious. Take out the overenrolled stuffed CS courses and see how good the outcomes from Northeastern are.

Northeastern’s acceptance rate is close to MIT and Yale now. Much closer to these schools than what you’re thinking

They only had this happen, because they way over-admitted one year and needed to admit nearly half the amount the following year, because they otherwise would've had homeless students. They also farm applicants with an easy app and don't count their NU-Bound students, so they can collect dumb, rich kids without it affecting USNEWs. This school is no where near MIT or Yale. It's on the level of UMass Amherst.

THANK YOU! This poster is making complete sense with facts! I know of one run of the mill student from my kid’s school who got into NU a few years back with a 1320 SAT…the kid’s mother stated the campus was grossly over-crowded and made for a poor experience that year. The following year, when NU was faced with having to offer enrollment to fewer applicants this scenario resulted in giving the false impression that NU was an extremely selective school and NU ran with it. You couple this “manufactured” selectivity with
a no supplemental essay(s) application, no standardized test requirement, and other marketing/enrollment ploys and the result is a low acceptance rate. There are several good college admission books that go into detail how NU employed a massive marketing campaign to move up the USNWR rankings.

ARe you talking about Northwestern?? NU = Northwestern
If so, I don't thnk its grossly overcrowded and they do have supplmentals.

Oops, I meant NEU.

I’m talking about Northeastern. Sorry about that.

Why is Emory and it's people so obsessed with magazine rankings?

"Caught cheating: Colleges falsify admissions data for higher rankings"
https://www.nbcnews.com/news/investigations/caught-cheating-colleges-falsify-admissions-data-higher-rankings-flna1c8964083

"Emory University misreported student data to U.S. News and other organizations that rank universities and colleges, school officials said, providing the much-higher SAT averages of students who applied and were admitted, rather than those who enrolled. It also inflated entering students’ class ranks."

What's more shocking is that these people are shamelessly talking about other schools about 'gaming'.

Overrated and just so boring.

NEU still a T60 though, despite being number one in gaming.

Great school. Should be about 5 spots higher in the rankings

Just beacause Emory cheated on the US News data doesn't make it a bad school.

Didn’t that happen 14 years ago?

Here is a quote about NEU from a profile last year:

Northeastern University has been notorious for gaming the rankings. They introduced programs where students who tend to have lower grades study away for a semester or a year. Because those students aren’t going directly to the university, their statistics are not included in the ranking data.

Boston Magazine did a profile in 2014 all about NEU gaming the rankings.

My DC was admitted to both Emory and Northeastern and easily chose Emory.

What’s probably going on here is that education reporters who need hits on their stories are trying to create a fake Emory-NEU rivalry and posting links to old clickbait articles to get some traffic.

Gaming is subjective claim.
The magazine basically says NEU played by the rules while there were schools that actually cheated (i.e. Emory).
With that 'gaming', NEU now beats Emroy in every major metrics.

On the other hand, Emory flat out cheated for more than 10 years like the magazine noted, and got caught bloody-handed.
It was just 10 years ago. What about gaming when there are real cheater schools like these, Emory, Berkeley, Columbia, etc.

SHAMELESS

By the way again, Emory sends lower stat kids to Oxford for 2 years.

As my friend who has a child going to Emory says, "If you ain't cheatin', you ain't tryin"

And those Oxford students are still better than Northeastern students.
