This.  What a joke to have Northeastern. [/quote]

Northeastern is excelling in almost every important categories, better than schools like BU WF UNC etc.
Student stats, Outcome, Admission stats(acceptance rate/yield), retention, etc.
Keep up.

Um Okay please tell yourself that when you write the 80,000 checks.  [/quote]

?? Which privatge shcools are less than 80,000 [/quote]

Not many but many are worth it.  Northeastern is in same category as GW/Syracuse/BU--not worth it. Go to your state school instead--any state school.  In this area, better value at MD, UVA, W&M, James Madison, etc.  In NY, SUNYs.  [/quote]

Why are these old timers keep popping up with 80s 980s mindset without reality check or recent data check.

Take a look at the private schools between #25ish schools and Northeastern.

Wake Forest, Tufts, Rochester, Boston College, Boston University
That's it.  Which one is really more attractive?  Rochester? I don't think so. More Kids are already choosing NU over BU.
Especially for Engineering/CS, most would automatically eliminate schools like BC, WF.
In fact NU is strongest for CS which is the hottest field these days.

There are a bunch of 2nd tier UC public schools ranked in the 30s, who would prefer those especially from the East Coast??
Not many.

So you can easily see it's one of the best options after T25ish schools.
