They are NOT:
1) informed. About anything having to do with the relative quality of the education at these schools. Period.

Let's think about for a moment -

1. Why is Northeastern is the only target for a flame war?
2. Why parents are upset about college outcomes only for Northeastern ?
3. Why kids and parents are insecure that other people going to Northeastern?

Basically what I am asking everyone - Why are Northeastern promoters playing the victim card?

Not so...there have been dozens of these idiotic posts...."Is Emory an elite school"? "Is Wash U considered elite?" Blah, blah, blah....OP is right. These posts are not written by people looking for useful information. They are looking to start a dumpster fire.

Can you provide links to any of this posts? I have been on this board a long time and never seen any school other than NE getting flamed because some people affiliated with it always claiming how it is better than every school out there...

Plenty of schools get flamed...but the recent flaming of NE is because of a few poor rejected souls (who, by the way, don't just write the "NEU is a joke/terrible/scam" posts. They also write the "NEU is amazing/on the rise/better than Harvard" posts so they can write the follow up "NEU is a scam" posts. This is how anonymous trolls operate...you can have entire conversations with yourself! All while claiming you're not a rejected 18 year old but the mom of a Harvard-bound rock-star who would NEVER allow their kid to apply to NEU (but somehow seems to have all the feels about the school.)
