What do you mean by 'have undergrad business'. You sound very dumb as a professor.
Economics departments with flavors of 'business' are not normally counted as undergrad business programs.
Hence, they are not listed in major references such as https://premium.usnews.com/best-colleges/rankings/business-overall
If you are a profesor you should know better instead of trying to nitpick for the sake of argumanet.

I looked them up a lot, and my kid is a freshman in Mendoza at ND majoring in business analytics.
Schools like Brown used to be academic purists that looked down on undergraduate business programs, but time has changed and it's trying to adapt.
It's economic department recently created a thing caleed 'business track' in the economics department.
Schools like Rice very recently(like 2-3 years ago?) started undergrad business programs.
My kid removed Rice hence it was too new. Brown's econ with a business track sounded good, but didn't apply after accepted REA to Mendoza.

Northeastern business program is not a top target school, but still gets big respect from the industry, probably more than whatever flavors of Ohio.
Enough of Ohio. It's a good school for Ohionans. Enjoy your football in Ohio.
I'm careless about football but my kid likes the football culture at ND.
I hope my kid doesn't run into a professor like you.

Racist much? Well back to the social striver school aka Northeastern.

NP. Is English not your first language? Your writing contains so many grammatical errors that verges on incomprehensible and makes any analysis difficult to follow. I actually question whether there is a coherent analysis.

75% of Northeastern students come from out of state, and 18% come from out of the country.
Geographically one of the most diverse schools, and one of the reasons my kid chose it over a home state school.
Surprisingly many are from the West Coast. DC's first year roommate was from LA, and became a good friend.

I would love for my DC to go to NU London!

We are overseas at a private school and just got our first college counseling briefing. I have to admit I was mostly unaware of Northeastern. We heard that Northeastern is a “cluster school” for our private international school in Asia. Many parents see the internship programs as key to breaking into the US job market and the Boston location is popular.

The counselors mentioned that the state of Ohio is a great place to tour a variety of college campus types, and very few of the non-US people knew where Ohio was, much less had heard of Ohio State much less Oberlin. Between 60-80% of the students at our school will apply to Northeastern, so that affects how likely those kids are to be accepted. I am not sure if that is true from the DMV area too.

The DMV area has plenty of good large state school options such as VT, UMD, UVA, Penn State, UPitt, W&M, UNC, etc. so Ohio is out of sight in general. 
Ohio is a very poor comparison to bring in for Northeastern.  PP(the one claimed to be a professor?) probably brought it up because it recently broke into T50 on USN&WR.
Honestly it's considered a step down in general.  It pretty much reflected in the acceptance rate.

Schools like NYU and Boston area schools such as Northeastern, Boston College, Boston University, and Tufts are very popular destinations from the DMV area.
You would compare Northeastern to these plus maybe Case Western, Tulane, URochester. These have relatively pretty low acceptance rates.
Case Western and URochester are little better probably because of much less desirable locations.

Don't bother - other PP is blissfully (or miserably, as we see here) ignorant. Give it a week or so, he will start another "hate on (same one of three schools)" thread. So sad.

I would say get a life, but that ship has sailed.

This. I think the overseas counselor is wrong. It is true that Ohio is riddled with small colleges but few are select (think Otterbein). It's a very weird to suggest that someone overseas target Ohio for touring. Sure your kids may get in but some of these some schools are struggling financially and not worth the money. Most cosmopolitan overseas kids will die a slow death in Columbus or other areas of Ohio.

Comments like this sometimes bug me ("flyover" tone) but PP is totally correct. I went to school in Ohio and Indiana and most of the international students I met were surprised by how isolated the area was. A few said they were hoping to get the "real American" experience but then later regretted their choice because 4 years of diners, country bars with line dancing, cornfields, and Walmart is quite a bit. Unless these are not "cosmopolitan" overseas kids and families are purposefully looking for small schools in "safe", isolated areas, Ohio is a bizarre place to start. PA makes much more sense as it also has a variety of schools and also is close to truly metropolitan areas (with many schools actually located in small towns). West coast and southwest are more difficult to tour, but geographically and culturally more interesting (though not always metropolitan). Even the south or south east might make more sense.

Is the counselor perhaps suggesting places that are eager for international students?

Overseas PP

The counselor was suggesting places to tour types of campuses- not specific schools to consider. The group was parents of 10th graders, so it is early to be picking target schools. I think they were trying to encourage people to consider the range of available options. The three areas mentioned were Washington DC, Philadelphia, and Ohio as possibility for efficient college examples. It was definitely a range.

Reading the CC thread, I am encouraged to see all the TO admits.

It seems they’re doing this differently this year-plenty of to (although it was over 50% to last year also) but almost no deferrals, just rejections or alternative entry options. I wonder why the change.

Ohio State has 70% Ohioans.
I'm sure its a good school for them, but no thank you.

As you are encouraged, it sucks for my twins. Excellent GPAs, excellent test scores (35 and 36 on ACT). Meanwhile, TO students take up half the acceptances at schools they never would have applied to had test scores been required
