[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]02:28  Did you not read what OP wrote? Many colleges do this, not just Northeastern. Over 105,000 kids applied this year (number has been going up for years), it's difficult to be accepted into the Boston campus, and yet people still want to attend.

Just stop the Northeastern bashing - it's not a good look, Northeastern is no longer a sleepy commuter school, and many families are buying what they are selling.  Jus because you aren't interested, doesn't mean you should continue to bash the school [/quote]

NP. Look, lots of schools do this but Northeastern more strategically than any other. It isn't just the junior year abroad kids for them, it's also the coop students. Northeastern has a lot of moving parts. They have found a great way to deal with what would otherwise be a huge problem for them - no one should begrudge them that. Where it gets sketchy is when they use the Boston campus acceptance rate numbers as a marketing tool when they are accepting a huge number of students into other campuses and these students have completely different acceptance rates and test scores.[/quote]
