That’s the way to go. My kid also fell in love with the whole Boston vibe. Applied to 4 of the schools on the list. 3 admits, one WL. Committed based on several factors, buy not any current ranking of admission rate. |
Love seeing you so upset after you started your bs. You can deny it all you want. You deserve it. |
Congrats! Hope DC is as fortunate around this time next year. |
I think that is why you see so many applications to schools like BU and NEU. International students are a big part of the applicant pool, and the reputations of the school carry a lot of weight when they hear from their friends/family who have experienced school in Boston. |
This doesn't make sense, it's harder to get into NEU than all of those colleges, literally lol. |
Yeah, just fckin around, trying to lighten the ridiculous mood a bit. |
It’s all a crap shoot these days. My kid got in to NEU. Chose another Boston school, but would’ve been very happy with NEU if they’d only gotten in there. They really aren’t that different, unless it’s MIT or Harvard. The competition ppl try to create here is silly. |
+ 1 million |
NEU does NOT compare to Harvard or MIT. In fact, it's a place for dumb kids from DC. |
The problem with the NEU booster or boosters (we lack full knowledge) is that they are not smart enough to boost well and discreetly. For example, always attacking the “OP” as if the “OP” is continually posting on a 40+ page thread. Then the next thing is always blaming someone’s distaste of the boosting on being rejected by the school, when they have no idea if that is the case. The NEU replies are based on flawed logic and are so absurd in the claims regarding peer schools that it almost seems as if the booster is in on the joke and is being sarcastic while trolling and messing with us about Northeastern. A lot of people on DCUM are smart and the NEU booster seems to lack the intellectual chops to even boost effectively, which in turn makes the boosting even more infuriating. |
Curious where your child or children went to school? |
This is such a great post. |
Huh? I just said "Calgon, take me away" about 20 pp ago, and it's still going! I've only posted a few times in response to crazy claims to ask the booster to move on, to say the comparisons are ridiculous and to respind that my kid did not apply (when booster claimed rejection). I guess my issue is twofold -- the bogus claims of the booster and the resurrecting of this thread so that it is perma ad (I guess tge idea is that all publicity is good publicity). Feels like a page out of Trump's playbook. Trump U part 2? |
NEU booster is so infantile, it’s cringe
|
Yes. Great summary. I’m sure the booster will say we are all NEU hater friends so nice to meet you 😂 |
