[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why would anyone would choose NEU over a state flagship? The cost differential is absolutely astounding.

At some point, the other shoe has to drop, no? People are going to realize that if it's now harder to get into NEU than, say, Cornell or Dartmouth... I mean, you'd go with the school that is universally considered better.[/quote]

a state flagship vs a private college argument is nothing new and nothing unique to Northeastern. 
 
Lets' say UMCP vs Northeastern.

If full pay for Northeastern and in-state for UMD, I can see most would choose UMCP.If cost is similar from aid/scholarship, then I can see many would choose Northeastern.
Here's an idea. It actually turns out 50:50 for 
this.https://www.parchment.com/c/college/tools/college-cross-admit-comparison.php?compare=Northeastern+University&with=University+of+Maryland%2C+College+Park

I don't think it'll get harder than Cornell or Dartmouth any time soon. 
Like I mentioned above, if you get into a T25ish school, you'll choose that.
If not, it's becoming a good next option. That's all.

I'm the, "For the NEU bashers, what makes it overrated" poster. I agree with your comparison between NEU full pay and instate UMDCP (although we're in Virginia...I get the point).  For much as my son likes NEU, he understands that we WON'T/CAN'T be full pay. Only the lottery schools could we really only consider $75+ a year.[/quote]
