[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Northeastern isn't a particularly good school.  I mean, it's fine, but I don't know that it is in any way better than UMD.  [/quote]

It's an overpriced hype school that has used the UNWRT rankings system over many years.

[b]When I was in high school decades ago, it was where the mediocre local townie students went to school.[/b][/quote]

You need to get out of the past.  There are many many school that were super easy to get into decades ago that are really hard to get into now, like Univ of Southern CA and many others. Decades ago when I was looking at colleges, I laughed out loud at Univ of Richmond.  It was literally accepting any and all students that would pay.  I knew a guy that got in that didn't even break 1000 on SAT.  But now, it's apparently really hard to get into.  Can't believe it.  I'm not disputing what you're saying was true decades ago about Northeastern, but it doesn't mean the school hasn't changed.  I don't have a child there, but I know some really brilliant kids at Northeastern now.  I also know some B+ students there.  It's a mix.  It has been able to attract some top top students with the Boston location, co-op program & great merit aid.  And then it has some B students who are just happy to have gotten in.  Nothing wrong with that.  Bottom line:  numbers are numbers.  They have a 19% acceptance rate.     [/quote]
