[quote=Anonymous]I don’t have first hand knowledge of NEU as my kids don’t attend and never even toured it. But, they each have good friends who attend, and my 2023 hs grad has two very close friends who were admitted to NEU through the program where you heed to study abroad first semester- one chose to attend. These two wonderful kids were not top tier academically or otherwise at our W hs - neither had strong sat/act (I believe both applied test optional), and one had good grades but plenty of Bs (from a hs where people say 4.0 is the “norm”) and not close to the strongest profile of classes. The other had more Bs than As and even a couple of Cs, also didn’t take top classes, but did run his own business netting $5k/yr so maybe that made up for their not stellar academics.

It sounds like the actual experience at NEU is great and leads to strong outcomes. But our exposure to the level of students admitted is that they aren’t close to the ones being admitted to BC and even BU (or MIT or Harvard, goes without saying for all of the Boston schools except Tufts which always has some Harvard rejects).
