Should Northeastern be T20? Or even T10?

Agree...but by the same token, a whole lot of people for whom "it was not the choice" (or, quite possibly, NEU did not give them the opportunity to choose or not choose) need to move on too.

You ignore the third, likely overwhelmingly large, category - people who don't have any stake whatsoever, but opened the thread because of clickbait nature of the title (just as OP intended), read and possibly reacted to the idiocy of the initial post, and periodically returned and posted again because of the sub-par reasoning and critical thinking skills of OP and others/sockpuppets.

It's difficult to let nonsense like this slide sometimes - but I agree, better to not feed the trolls.

OP needs to have the last say since s/he thinks Northeastern did him/her dirty. LOL.

Maybe the NE basher has a HS junior planning to apply next year and wants to bring down that 92,000 down to something more reasonable when their child applies. lol

Doesn't really matter what anyone here thinks, obviously many students would like to attend NE

The quality of applicants is pertinent here. People throwing an app at NEU at the click of a button is quite a different story from what you're trying to portray.

Also, I wouldn't characterize a bunch of people agreeing that NEU is overrated to be a positive reflection of the school.

You are correct.  
Application number and acceptance rate itself alone doesn't tell the whole story.It should be provided with student stats to get the better picture.

2021SAT middle 50%: 1440-1530
ACT middle 50%: 33-35
(Due to the pandemic little less than 50% submitted scores)

2020
SAT middle 50%: 1430-1540
ACT middle 50%: 33-35

2019SAT middle 50%: 1470-1550
ACT middle 50%: 33-35

Quality of applicants is elite level.

So sorry that Northeastern is such a trigger for you, PP. I'm sure your rejection wasn't personal and you will be happy wherever you end up.

there's so much competition for colleges just in Boston so it's hard for NEU to get an edge.

Just catching up on this thread, it has been enlightening. This discussion is hugely beneficial for DCUM that needs to snap out of the IVY-covered worldview of "prestige". OP and other PPs are doing DCUM a great service by replacing DCUM's mindshare for one three-letter word (IVY) with that of another three-letter word (NEU).

DCUM parents may think NEU will never become huge in the DC area. To that, I would remind them the NEU uses a franchise model for higher education (another innovation). Did you know that NEU already has opened many franchise campuses outside Boston: in Charlotte (NC), in San Francisco, in Silicon Valley, in Seattle, and even London! Chances are an NEU campus will open in the DC area near you. I won't be surprised if that proximity will make NEU even more the "talk-of-town" at Sidwell etc.

OP loves paragraphs.

But NEU is top 10 for schools in Boston -- that's still something!

Very true. NEU is definitely top 10 in Boston proper. Especially excluding schools in the suburbs of Cambridge, Medford, and Chestnut Hill. Sorry, OP. We don't see eye to eye, but top 10 in Boston is still quite an honor.
