You're hilarious. Take out the overenrolled stuffed CS courses and see how good the outcomes from Northeastern are.

Northeastern’s acceptance rate is close to MIT and Yale now. Much closer to these schools than what you’re thinking

They only had this happen, because they way over-admitted one year and needed to admit nearly half the amount the following year, because they otherwise would've had homeless students. They also farm applicants with an easy app and don't count their NU-Bound students, so they can collect dumb, rich kids without it affecting USNEWs. This school is no where near MIT or Yale. It's on the level of UMass Amherst.

THANK YOU! This poster is making complete sense with facts! I know of one run of the mill student from my kid’s school who got into NU a few years back with a 1320 SAT…the kid’s mother stated the campus was grossly over-crowded and made for a poor experience that year. The following year, when NU was faced with having to offer enrollment to fewer applicants this scenario resulted in giving the false impression that NU was an extremely selective school and NU ran with it. You couple this “manufactured” selectivity with
a no supplemental essay(s) application, no standardized test requirement, and other marketing/enrollment ploys and the result is a low acceptance rate. There are several good college admission books that go into detail how NU employed a massive marketing campaign to move up the USNWR rankings.

They don't need dumb kids when they get 100k apps from high stat kids. Use your common sense.

Northeastern is a fine school. And its Co op program is interesting and helpful. But let's not kid ourselves. As a PP said NE is just above the UMass flagship. It is not at all Harvard, MIT, BC, Tufts, or even sucks to BU (nor any of the MA SLACs). It is a great school and a great option but let's not go crazy.

This isn't 1980s anymore. It's 21st century already.
Wake up granny.

Oxford college students have the same, if not higher, stats...It's just a liberal arts college.

Who says the 100k apps are any good? Next I'll be hearing Colby is the new WASP

Northeastern plays the most games if any school in the nation. It could never be what Emory is. Despite its low acceptance rate and frankly Emory's AR isn't far off as it's 10% Either way can we get back on topic in the thread. If anyone says Atlanta doesn't have any nice parts either never been or are just biased. The Emory area, Buckhead, midtown, Sandy springs, and Alpharetta are all great places in Atlanta.

But still, great point. That 1/100th of one grade point probably results in a massive differential from one campus to the other.

Yup 2 yesrs in the middle of nowhere.

Compared to that, 1 semester or 1year study abroad in the places like London, Paris, Madrid etc. even Oakland sound better and student stats are not significantly lower, just a fraction like you said.

Their fraction is the difference between 3.88 and 3.89. Northeastern versus NUBound is much more significant. The kids are way dumber.

Yes, at a school outside the Top 50. Northeastern is a forgettable name on any resume, and will never be what Emory is.
Now can we get back on topic please!
