[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Over 97,000 applications, our daughter was one who applied ED and was accepted at the Boston campus. And, NEU sent out very clear instructions for students to check off their choices early on (only attend Boston, attend only 1st semester abroad then Boston, attend Oakland, etc), and for each the choices were essentially primary choice, maybe choice, or no.

Besides wouldn't being accepted to a location that wasn't a primary choice be better than being outright rejected?

Not really.  My kid likes to say, well technically, then "I was only rejected at my ED school".  Because they were accepted everywhere else, NUBOund accepted and WL at another school.  So officially only 1 rejection.  
But in reality, my kid thought it was impersonal to ask "Are you willing to go abroad/non-boston location for part or all of freshman year", and then ignore their answer.  It's impersonal and demonstrates how impersonal being a student there is likely to be.[/quote]
