[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NEU is gross. Yield protection, scamming parents -- it's all such a blatantly transparent racket. I seriously don't understand it. It has such an unappealing brand, too. I know multiple people in my orbit who have expressed disdain at NEU and all their shenanigans. At some point, the other shoe is going to drop, no?

And, no, boosters, none of my kids applied to NEU.[/quote]

What a bizarre post.  Who calls a school "gross" and parents that they don't know "scamming"?  [/quote]

Someone whose kid got rejected and then pretends like they didn't.[/quote]

At some point, the boosters will have to come to terms with the fact that a lot of people, for better or worse, look down on NEU due to a host of factors. Not everyone who dislikes a school, especially one like NEU, was jilted by them. What a weird worldview to have.[/quote]

What is weird is calling a school 'gross' when you, in theory, have had no direct experience with it since your kids didn't go or even apply, right?  Also weird that you use terms like "parents in your orbit" and a school's "brand" not to mention that those said parents express "disdain" on a college that they too likely have no direct experience with....actually, less weird than just sad. [/quote]

You're telling me that you have zero opinions about any school that you or your kids didn't attend? So that leaves, what, like 2-3 colleges that you're allowed to have opinions on? I'm sorry, no commenting on any of these threads for you, ever again.

Be real. Lots of people have lots of opinions on a lot of things. I think legacy favoritism is an issue (there's about 15 schools off the top of my head just there). I think the college admissions scandal was illuminating (another 5 or so I can think of). And I think schools like NEU that engage in racketeering are gross. Deal with it.[/quote]

Sorry about the rejection[/quote]

Lmao the fact that you're trying to convince yourself of this, and that that's the only comeback you have, is pathetic in and of itself.[/quote]
