[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]

But why does it matter so much to you? Ask yourself that question.  There are few schools that garner this much attention.  Your kid knows it matters so much to you.  You are hurting your kid by posting here so often, about the same subject.  You need to move on - it is not good for your family.

Your frequent posting detracts from your argument. Of course people who have a positive experience with a school are going to correct you.  What did you expect? Parents should not need a book or a podcast or whatever to lead them in the right direction - for THEIR kid.  Every kid is different. Parents should be visiting schools, talking to alum, and doing their research first hand.  Be the parent.

Decide that you are okay with your kid not being admitted.  Decide to be okay with your kid. Decide to find a place where your kid shines.  You are the parent - be the parent. Coming here and posting may make you feel good and give you a minor shot of dopamine for a millisecond, but how is it helping your family?  How is the instant gratification helping your family?  How is the lack of impulse control helping your family? If posting here so often truly helped you at all, you would not keep coming back to the same topic to post.

Think of the long term, and how you can find the best fit for YOUR student, and make decisions in a positive direction.  Do not take time away from your family in a negative direction. [/quote]
Woah. Misdirected fire. My oldest is a HS junior and I've never had any particular interest in Northeastern. The first time I clicked this thread was after I listened to the YCBK episode and realized part of it was right on-point for the thread's title so worth a quick share. Just trying to be helpful for the folks who are interested in the school--of which there obviously are lots. But do carry on; I won't be back.[/quote]
