[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]well with all this Northeastern talk, i just had to check the stats

“Of the record-large pool of 90,989 applicants, only 6,179 were admitted, or about 6.7%, Northeastern spokesperson Shannon Nargi wrote in an email statement”

looks like a heavy TO policy probably helped, as about 60% of applicants were TO.  Couldn’t find breakdown of accepted or enrolled students.

But like the school or hate the school, when you are approaching 100k applicants, you’re doing something right in terms of branding and marketing.  [/quote]

More importantly, it's doing something very right in terms of education, service, outcome when you look at the retention rate and outcome data.
It's literally #3 after MIT and UChigao on retention rate. Its outcome is on par/better/close to most of the T20/T25 schools.
Just hard facts, but haters/bashers get crazy and obsessed.  
I never saw anybody called Northeastern elite whatever that means other than the haters.  
They get ticked off by the term elite when they don't even know what it means.

no, I think it has more to do with branding and marketing (and a well known campaign to improve the USNews ranking). Agree to disagree.  [/quote]

No, no amount of branding/marketing will make the students like the school and come back unless you think the school put a gun to the heads of the student to stay put.

Also a well known campaign to improve the school.

not sure about the campaign you’re talking about - here’s some background on the campaign I referenced earlier with regards to NEU’s USNews ranking obsession
