[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does anyone know this year's overall early decision admission rate? The link provided above just shows that early decision II had an admission rate of 20%? I'm wondering what the admission rate is for EDI? Also, if you pick NU.in as your first choice, does that count in these ED rates? Since RD's rate is so low, it does take some strategizing to get into the Boston campus. Spending a semester in Italy or Ireland seems like a good way to get into Boston or am I missing something?[/quote] From College Confidential the ED1 stats for this year 3,400 applications 1,470 admitted to Boston campus 160 students to Oakland 480 students to NU.in 145 London Campus "more than" 75 Global Scholars 70 NU immerse [/quote] It's Boston campus or bust for DC. Not interested in the other options.[/quote] I know someone whose kid got admitted to that London side door option. That’s what it is, right? They seem to have bought into the marketing of it all and are convinced that there is enormous prestige to being selected for this program. It’s so earnest that of course people just nod and smile. I personally think it could be a real growth experience to start college out of the country, so undoubtedly there are benefits. But I think I would still recognize this as a money grab mechanism to accept my kid as a backup on reserve so that he can be a replacement the next year for the kids they accept to the Boston campus this year but end up failing or dropping out. Unpopular opinion, but is this wrong? [/quote] Yes, you are wrong. First, London isn't a side door to Boston. It is a 3 year British degree program. Second, that is one of the most competitive campuses to attend. There are a lot of high stat Indian/Asian students that choose that. But from your tone, you sound more trollish than inquisitive, so I'll leave that there.[/quote] I don’t think I typed any of that with a “tone” but it’s possible the program I know about is completely different. The London situation for the friend’s kid is just for one year. As in the student has to start at London campus and spend a year there and then move to Boston for sophomore year. I’m not trying to troll. Just making an observation that it seems like a sneaky way for the school to keep some kids on reserve by admitting more than they can take. The kid didn’t specifically apply to a London campus situation.[/quote]
