[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Someone on here wants the promote Northeastern, but it is not working. I hope it is an overzealous parent and that the school is not condoning or paying for this.[/quote] This thread has become like some horrible  rock that I can’t help looking under once in a while. But it’s gotten really boring and it seems to be driven by three or four posters at most.  I used to be on the  “anti” team because the NEU booster was insufferable - even though  I would have liked my DD to apply to NEU (she didn’t want to.)   But you anti guys are just as insufferable as the booster now. How about nobody posts about Northeastern  unless they’ve looked at the school as recently as  four years ago and/or are seriously interested in having their kid go there? [/quote]

+1. Nailed it.  The schtick is the same: post disingenuous thread question.  Get a few responses. Post additional question that looks like it is piggybacking on the first, but opens doors for criticism of the school.  The same people chime in about their negative thoughts and opinions. Far fetched opinions and false claims start trickling in. A few people chime in to tell the negative posters why they know their false claims to be false. It becomes more obvious that the negative posters know less and less about the actual facts and goings on about the school. Negative posters start asking for facts. Sane posters back away slowly from the same old post about the same school. OP or someone like them pretends to be a young person chiming in, adding ridiculous statements (a reflection of their "personality", or lack of, as a grown adult). Sane posters start questioning why the admin allows such posting.  OP claims that there is "marketing" or "boosters", which tells you something about OPs sanity (ie: lack of). OP and those like them persist with their false claims.  OP continues to wonder why people are questioning their absurd thread. Repeat.

I would feel bad for OP and those like them if they were not so sad and predictable. It has been said often that posters are sorry for OP that they were not accepted to the school, yet OP seems fixated on the topic, which can not be healthy for them or their family. OP and those like them posting here, does not change their situation.

Getting college information from an anonymous board is not a way to find mostly good or mostly accurate information, and many parents have kids who actually did the research to know this.  OP, you should probably start fixating on your own family, instead of what other students are doing or not doing.  Again, what you are doing can not be healthy for you or your family. [/quote]
