I recently listened to a lecturer who is like a college consultant for med school admissions. He said take every school’s reporting on med school admissions with a grain of salt. There is no oversight to confirm it is accurate and in almost every case the numbers are way overblown. |
Most likely he was referring to the undergraduate guidance department. Those are notorious for claiming, eg, "that 85% of our undergraduate who apply to med school are accepted to at least one". The reality is that guidance actively discourages/weeds out those who apply. In this case, these numbers are direct from Tufts Medical School who are reporting on who enrolled in the class of 2027. Much different scenario. What the OP is showing is that NEU at least for Tufts Medical School looks to be somewhat of a feeder for it. |
Bates College is overrepresented. Quite an accomplishment for supposedly a "declining" liberal arts institution |
Understandable, of course Northeastern is not for everyone. If football and greek life are high priorities, it's not a school for you. However three are also ton of people who think those are not high priorities at all, thus schools like NYU and Northeastern are insanely popular. Besides, you get a lot of sporting options in places like NYC and Boston, thus people care less about college football. |
Correct, where prestige and job prospects take priority over school spirit and sports, northeastern shines. It's why students choose NEU over Cornell, MIT, etc. There are zero cases of people choosing a Michigan for example over Cornell and MIT. |
No one is choosing Northeastern over Cornell or MIT. Please take your meds and get off DCUM. |
DP here. Why the name calling? It disqualifies your argument. I actually know students who have chosen between MIT and NEU for CS, because the CS at NEU is very strong. Not all went to MIT, even though they had the choice. Not sure about Cornell (MIT and NEU were originally been known for the obvious - CS and Engineering). Not saying that MIT and NEU are equal, but students have chosen between the two before. |
Not PP, but take a look at this: https://www.parchment.com/c/college/tools/college-cross-admit-comparison.php?compare=Massachusetts+Institute+of+Technology&with=Northeastern+University. 85% of students admitted to both choose MIT. And it's clear why. |
If it was my kid, MIT over any other college not named Cal Tech, Stanford or Princeton. Northeastern over Cornell for CS? If NEU was cheaper, definitely. I think many here don't understand the strength of a school when it comes to a major. |
Yes, the marketer is at it again. They've already said this. People already said nope. And here we are again! |
Of course they do - we are an MIT family and do not have to read what you pffer about the situation. But there are strong Engineering and CS students choosing NEU for good reason. |
Are you the one who keeps reviving this thread? Are you at MIT? LOL. |
Does any college have as virulent a stalker as the anti-NEU person who chimes in on EVERY mention of Northeastern? So, so bizarre. |
Does any college have obsessed boosters who feel the need to attack this virulent stalker after EVERY criticism of the school? So, so bizarre. |
