[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

May I suggest Boston University?  It is right down the street.  What did your DS think of it?[/quote]

Yes, will be applying to both BU and NEU, unless we get into one ED first (not sure of the order yet).[/quote]

My DS toured both, and much preferred BU, as they are very different.  BU is a more traditional university, arts and sciences, that sort of thing, NEU has the Coop program, wth a more STEM, nerdier vibe.  Perhaps, your DS already knows this, but, if not, definitely worth touring the schools.  We did BU in the morning and NEU in the afternoon, which enabled us to immediatelh compare them.[/quote]
