Northeastern rated an impressive 4.5 stars (academic rating).[/quote]

That’s equal to Berkeley and Michigan.  That’s why this rating is a joke. [/quote]

- SAT middle 50
Berkeley: 1290-1530
Michigan: 1360-1530
Northeastern: 1430-1550

- Acceptance rate
Berkeley: 11%
Michigan: much higher
Northeastern: Lower than Both

- Salary https://collegescorecard.ed.gov/
(received federal student aid and began college at this institution 10 years ago)
Berkeley:$80K
Michigan: $76K
Northeastern: $80K

Looks like peer schools to me.
Either Berkeley/Michigan are overrated/overranked or Northeastern is underrated/underranked. [/quote]

Regarding the SAT scores, are they for the same year?  What percentage of students enrolling in the fall submitted?  What percentage of students are actually entering in the spring and don't have their SAT scores, if submitted, counted?   Northeastern has a low percentage submitting scores now and also has a sizeable Spring start population which typically has lower stats.[/quote]

Northeastern had similar scores for the past several years before the pandemic when scores were mandatory. 
I know Berkeley and Michigan accept shit ton of students from community colleges and other places in Spring and Fall 
  
[/quote]

In fact the the Spring accepted applicants are evaluated the same way at the same time, and their stats are not significantly lower at all.

Link to proof?[/quote]

Check out the Northeastern Result forums including ones here.

Any proof beyond anecdotes?[/quote]

It makes very logical sense.  
They got close to 100K applications.  
They accept some ED1, some ED2, some EA, some RD, and some in the guaranteed transfer(NUIn/Bound). 
Their stats don't vary too much at all.  
Some of the guaranteed transfer kids via RD have relatively higher stats than the ED applicants.  
Obviously ED kids get significant advantage so they get by with lower stats.

Compare this to the quality of the transfer applicants without stats to Berkeley/Michigan. 
You can easily imagine.

If you have a claim contrary to the logical sense, show me a proof.

That's not proof of anything. [/quote]
