No, was more like 40% |

Northeastern received 6500 early decision applications. There are approximately 3,000 Boston freshmen seats. EDII's acceptance rate was 20%. Historically ED acceptance rate has been around 34%.
The number of ED applications has doubled in the last few years. Northeastern seems to be doing fine in attracting very high quality students. |
I think you got confused with Yield Rate. |
| From my dd’s private school, her 3 friends who got into Northeastern all got in ed(2 Boston campus, 1 London to start). Well-rounded nice kids in uw3.8+/1450-1500sat range. Seems they were happy to take Neu over taking a shot at perhaps higher ranked schools. Know of # of other kids from dd’s school with higher stats(uw4.0/1500+) who mostly all got into t25’s not get in applying both ea & rd. |
+1 Bird in the hand... |
How do you know all these stats of students that aren't your kids? Creepy. |
Why are you so obsessed with ED? Harvard does ED too, doesn't change the fact that on a percentage basis NEU is more selective. |
Sure, also there are also a lo of uw4.0/1500+ kids who don't get in t25's. Simply not enough spaces as we all know. So, many of them choose schools like Northeastern. That's why https://www.businessinsider.com/the-50-smartest-colleges-in-america-2016-10 |
Because NEU lets in a many kids on ED then very few on EA and RD. Their application has no essay which then prompts many EA and RD applications. Since they filled most of class on ED, most get rejected and waitlist. Boom, low acceptance rate and high yield. Of course they are not the only school playing these games but truly selective schools don’t do this. Below is from and email sent to counselors last fall after MEU ED1 was released: 3,400 applications 1,470 admitted to Boston campus 160 students to Oakland 480 students to NU.in 145 London Campus "more than" 75 Global Scholars 70 NU immerse |
So it's really impressive that all these high stat kids choose NEU as their first choice. Can you blame the schhol fo accepting them?? Where's the issue? |
This is the crux of the matter, but the boosters just sing "Lalalalalalalalala!!!" |
Harvard doesn't "do" ED. And claiming it's less selective than Northeastern is true clown-level gibberish. |
|
ED was invented by the Ivies to increase yield and lower acceptance rate in the 1970s or something like that LOL Schools like UPenn had 70% acceptance rate in the past. After they got on the high ground and secured dominance, some of them like Harvard Yale turned to REA. LOL Others still have them. LOL
Prestige whores who have no clue today blame schools like NYU Tufts Northeastern for utilizing ED. If you don't like ED, bame them for inventing that LOL |
Not a bad point. |
NEU only takes 34% ED. So that statement is factually inaccurate. |
