Whether they come from public or private high schools, these kids have the grades required for admission. Public universities should be welcoming these instate students who may very likely remain instate as productive, tax paying residents after graduation.

Funny, there are multiple posters on this thread who are pro NEU, because they have first hand familiarity with it, but the anti NEU posters get offended and over the top ("diarrhea??" really??) and accusatory, while trying to make the pro NEU people (plural) one imaginary person (singular).

News flash: not every thread has to be turned by the anti NEU posters into an anti NEU thread. The anti NEU posters are proving without a doubt why they were not accepted to NEU. The pro NEU posters will continue to defend against the anti NEU posters false claims, understandably. There are few if any other schools who have the volume of anti (school) posts on this board.

Who is triggered? And now you are trying to blame it on the Reddit posters? Because you are a grown man acting like a petulant child?

Why are so bad at deflecting? Maybe ask yourself that. Pathetic. You sound like a classic stalker. Do better.

True but that also means top privates have higher caliber students. Publics can't have their cake and eat it too.
