[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One of the schools my kid applied to was Georgia Tech.  
Got offered pathway program - basically next Fall admit after 1 year at somewhere else. 
[b]It thought it was better than reject. Thanks for the option, and no hard feeling at all. [/b]

Got direct admit to Northeastern, and attending.

[b]Georgia Yech is a much better school if engineering, computer sciences, etc[/b][/quote]

This is my exact point.  One person looks at GT pathways and based on their other options and what their own personal cost/benefit/priorities they decide not to take it. The other poster WOULD have taken the GT option if deciding between pathways at GT and direct admit Northeastern.   IMO It’s better to offer and let the person decide it’s not for them versus a straight rejection.

I do agree though 4 years at Oakland or London isn’t the same - I sort of feel like you should be applying directly to those programs.[/quote]

Except that the "4 year" Oakland program allows you to transfer to Boston after a year. So it's basically the same as NU Bound.[/quote]
