[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]University of Texas saw a massive increase, from 72,000 to 90,000.  USC got more than 42,000 EA applications.  UVA saw a huge spike.  Northeastern went from 98,000 applications to over 107,000.   Overall, applications in the Common App increased from 6.3 million to 6.7 million.

I thought that the demographic cliff would be kicking in, but it looks like it is harder than ever.[/quote]
Two of those are a great educational value 
Northeastern likely up from marketing and fee waivers [/quote]

Northeastern is actually better performing  school than the other two[/quote]
Lol.  Sure. [/quote]

Granny, wake up.[/quote]

Retention
NEU 97%
UT 96%

Graduation
NEU 90%
UT 84%

4-year-out salary outcome
NEU 93K
UT $75K

Acceptance rate, yield rate, median SAT, ect., NEU beats UT in every metrics.
Wake the F up to 2025 granny, it's not 1986.[/quote]

DP. Considering you’re comparing an expensive private university and a state flagship that has a mandate for racial and economic diversity that accepts the top %ile of each HS class w/o regard to test scores, I’d say UT is clearly the “better” school. Not to mention the salary outcome is better for UT if you compare the cost of living in Texas vs. the Northeast. [/quote]
