[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Mark and Julia pull back the curtain on Northeastern’s faux-selectivity on the latest episode of YCBK. Unlike the posters here, they’re not anonymous and they’re not ignorant…[/quote]

Great episode confirming a few of my suspicions. You can almost see it on our hs’s Scattergrams. I think they grab these full pay kids with 1200s on the SAT but TO. The yield is sky high for this cohort. [/quote]

I just listened to this.  I can't believe that Northeastern only counts the admit rate to their Boston campus to make the admit rate seem a lot lower than it is.  It seems that most kids get admitted through the other transfer options.[/quote]

Makes sense. Northeastern is synonymous with the Boston campus.  No one cares about Oakland or London.

One can quibble about the admit tactics, but it's obviously evident that it's Boston campus is a popular and desirable location for admission.[/quote]

When you apply, do you have a choice in the matter?  Or are you just told " congrats you have been accepted to the Oakland campus"?   I'm a mom of a junior and so all of this is very new.[/quote]
