[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The issue is that Northeastern counts the total applicant count in the denominator but not the numerator, which is, at best, misleading and realistically, an outward lie.

All of the full-pay admits to their portfolio of campuses around the world are not calculated in their admission rate. In fact, they are misleadingly considered rejected in the calculation (and the GPA, test scores of the non-Boston admits aren't incorporated either).

Ugh how misleading. And it's included in all the rankings too. Then because it appears to be more selective than it is, gullible teens apply thinking it's a proxy for quality.[/quote]

Sounds like your kid didn’t do his research so now you’re all butthurt about it.

Northeastern is very clear about the multiple locations. Anyone who is “duped” didn’t do basic research. 
 
Kids who are looking at highly selective colleges figure it out.

Not everyone is obsessed with rankings and selectivity as you.

Actually when my kid applied, they stated "do not want anything other than Boston" for freshman year.  Yet were offered "something other than Boston".  Which indicates they don't actually care about/read your application.

Your kid got rejected from Boston.  They offered other choices.  Just decline and move on.  Being bitter isn't good for your or your child's health.  [/quote]

The only bitterness is from those that paid a Harvard-level tuition for a T100-level education at NEU. [/quote]
