[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]
I would assume most schools want high stat kids. [/quote]

Missing the point. [/quote]
