[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm one of the Northeastern critics - I think they have gamed the system in an outrageous way, and it's sad to see kids (and the parents who foot the bill) paying for the hype. That said, I also think one of the problems of our current higher educations system is the massive increase in demand for competitive programs hasn't been met with much increase in supply. Maybe this kind of innovation is part of the solution? [/quote]

Some keep saying gaming, but I don't see Northeastern in this cheater list for the past a few years, including Columbia Berkeley, UVA and a bunch of state schools.  The list gets bigger if you go further including schools like Emory.

Northeaster is only #49 by USN&WR. There are many schools ranked higher and much easier to get in, but the high stat kids are choosing value and fit. There is a combination of many many reasons why.  If it was indeed a hype and kids got gimmicked, then they would realize it after attending the school, however the data is completely the opposite.

Northeastern's retention rate is among the best.

Students actually find great education, student service, and college experience, so they choose to stay.  
So you are completely wrong and delusional.
