[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Easy App. Gamed the system and people have been easily duped. It’s working, they’re getting the applications and ED at that.[/quote]

I understand the full picture (e.g., how they set out to climb in USNWR rankings), but I find these comments dumb. We've now visited 10 very competitive colleges and the co-op program at Northeastern is like no other. In fact I have a brother who works in Boston and he said that sometimes kids from other boston area colleges have trouble getting internships etc because folks take Northeastern kids.

So 2 things can be true... NE worked to game the system AND it's actually become a great school with rare opportunities and lots of smart kids.

What are these “Rare” opportunities that you claim for the school? Many others offer Co-ops. So what is it at NEU that is rare? [/quote]

[b]Co-op opportunities[/b] at a coveted school in a great college city.[/quote]

Again, other schools offer these, so the Co-ops themselves are not rare. But, we’ve likely hit the limit of your logic.[/quote]
