[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What it is is a school that grossly lies and manipulates stats to create an aura of exclusivity.  [/quote]

+1 This is the problem with Northeastern.  My rising senior DS is looking at the school and likes a lot about it (the Boston location, mostly). But I've searched far and wide, and there is essentially NO information published by the school about their admissions statistics for the off-Boston start options.  For example, what is the ED acceptance rate if you list N.U.in as your #1 preferred start option?  Northeastern actively CONCEALS that data.  All of their admissions numbers are bogus because they only represent the Boston start students.[/quote]

I've asked Northeastern AOs these questions point blank, yet they dodge and refuse to answer.  They really don't want their true admissions stats to get out.  This is really unfair to applicants -- you're asking them to shoot one of their ED shots on you without even disclosing what their real chances are.[/quote]
