[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]emory is the northeastern of the south[/quote]

Northeastern is more diverse and dynamic in a much better location, and produces better outcome.

You're hilarious. Take out the overenrolled stuffed CS courses and see how good the outcomes from Northeastern are.[/quote]

Northeastern’s acceptance rate is close to MIT and Yale now. Much closer to these schools than what you’re thinking[/quote]
They only had this happen, because they way over-admitted one year and needed to admit nearly half the amount the following year, because they otherwise would've had homeless students. They also farm applicants with an easy app and don't count their NU-Bound students, so they can collect dumb, rich kids without it affecting USNEWs. This school is no where near MIT or Yale. It's on the level of UMass Amherst.[/quote]

THANK YOU! This poster is making complete sense with facts! I know of one run of the mill student from my kid’s school who got into NU a few years back with a 1320 SAT…the kid’s mother stated the campus was grossly over-crowded and made for a poor experience that year. The following year, when NU was faced with having to offer enrollment to fewer applicants this scenario resulted in giving the false impression that NU was an extremely selective school and NU ran with it. You couple this “manufactured” selectivity with 
a no supplemental essay(s) application, no standardized test requirement, and other marketing/enrollment ploys and the result is a low acceptance rate. There are several good college admission books that go into detail how NU employed a massive marketing campaign to move up the USNWR rankings. [/quote]

ARe you talking about Northwestern?? NU = Northwestern
If so, I don't thnk its grossly overcrowded and they do have supplmentals.[/quote]
