[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]1540 SAT. Applied EA and attending Northeastern.

BTW, CS and Design combined major. DC is intelligent and artistic. 
The school was a great fit, and Northeastern excels at selecting students who are a good fit, resulting in a high retention rate. [/quote]

Ummm.  
Northeastern chases SAT scores like it's crack.  
It's not looking for fit, it's trying to elevate its prestige through higher average SAT scores.  
It is a good safety school for a well statted out kid.
Only about a third of Northeastern admits submit an SAT score.
Another 1/9th submitted an ACT score.
The upside is that you are going to be going to school with other driven talented students that lost the admissions lottery.[/quote]

It chases high SAT with NMF…so do Emory and Vanderbilt. Marketing ploy. My own NMF kid was not interested. [/quote]

Pretty much all the school in that tier do this.  Schools like USC and NYU were doing this to crawl up the prestige hierachy[/quote]
From what I can determine for most recent CDS, the following freshman class % that received non-need aid:
Emory-17%
Vanderbilt-14%
NEU-26%
NYU-4%
USC-59% (based on another thread, this number will be dropping substantially)

NYU stopped doing it and USC will soon stop doing it.  Buying stats starts to become less effective at some point[/quote]
