Extremely surprised at Northeastern. Did you submit a 1400 or something? They hate submitters that are below median.[/quote]
It was a dang 1560. EA, deferred, WL. 2023 seemed a little chaotic at NEU. [/quote]

Same for DD with 1570  in 2023 [/quote]

I genuinely don’t get this. How is Northeastern rejecting kids with 1570 on the SATs?  I know I’m old, but are there that many kids with scores like that out there?[/quote]

Yield protection. They care a lot about college rankings so they are helped by letting fewer kids in who they don’t think will actually attend. [/quote]

Or how about, NEU gets 100K applications.  And they consider any SAT over 1500 (or maybe even 1480) to be "high enough" and after that, they don't care and look at the rest of the application.  I'm going to bet 60-75K of the applications have SAT over 1480, if not way more.  So they are going to reject many many many many many highly qualified kids.  That's not yield protection.  That's just having 75K+ great applicants and only 2-5 K total spots (they want 2.5K in Boston and another 1K around the world. ). [/quote]
