[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes: UMD, WM, CWRU, Pitt, Lehigh, BU, UMN, Ohio St.
No: Harvard, Penn, UVA, NEU[/quote]
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]

Mine is applying to NEU regular admission but really, really likes the school.  She's high stats, 35 ACT + good sports, jobs and ECs and she's not at all confident of admission.  I know there's a lot of hate, but our experience has been it's a tough admit for strong applicants.  Based upon local experience, she's more confident about BC and BU, which are down her list.

How do people not understand that the good programs at NEU are mostly filled in ED. There are just not enough spots left in RD to accommodate all the little geniuses who didn’t bother to look at the CDS. [/quote]

Even then, NEU gets 100K applications.  They want yield of 2.5-2.8K for Boston campus.  And another 1 to 1.3 K for the "non Boston NEU campuses" (which isn't counted in the numbers because they will admit 8-10K for that knowing that they might only get 1K or less, and if they get extra oh well, they will collect all the $$$ and figure out a way to eventually squeeze them onto the Boston campus) So yes, 100K for under 3K seats in Boston.  Of course top students will get turned away.  Lots of highly qualified students will get turned away.  That is why many kids who really really want NEU will take NUIn or NUBound (or whatever it is currently called--1 year in London or Oakland), because it's a very hard admit.

The reason they get 100K is because it's one of the few Top 50-60 schools without any supplemental essays.  Just click submit and pay in the common app.  And yes, it's in Boston which is a fun college town.  But yes, why not give it a whirl and see if you get admitted when it's literally $100 and paying to submit your scores and send your HS information.
