[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]mind boggling it’s only ranked #44 by USN given the level of selectivity and superlative quality of the admits.  Is a gem that punches well above its weight, legitimately competing with the lower half of T25 (WashU, Cornell, Emory..)

let the haters hate but tippy top kids are applying (and often rejected) in droves..[/quote]

Do they even admit any tippy top kids? They seems to prefer the next tier down..[/quote]

Northeastern likes high stat kids.

This was when test scores were mendatory.

First of all, this list is from 2016.  Wasn't that around the time NE was engaging in questionable tactics to rank higher in USNWR?  And where are you getting top 20?  These are the top 20.  NE is 25, so not sure why you need to twist the truth here.  Amazing how these boosters try to spin stuff to make their school look like something it absolutely is not.

First of all the last update was 2018, and that makes it much more genuine than the current scores because it was just before they started TO. Everyone had to submit test scores then.Current score is actually even better for Northeastern, 1430-1550

Second of all, you need to pay better attention.  It's top 20 among the [b]'national universities'[/b] Top 25 including all LACs.
What tactic? like cheating tactics like Berkeley, Emory, Columbia, etc.?
Duh[/quote]
