[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In all seriousness. Is Northeastern anyone’s real first choice..?[/quote]

People also complain NEU admits so many from ED
So yes? Duh[/quote]

WHY is it first choice though? What does it offer that [b]BC [/b]Georgetown Carnegie Mellon or even U Florida do not offer?[/quote]

In Boston - BC and Northeastern are very different experiences. Kids love both and both will give great educations - but if you want to be in the city, I can see where Northeastern (and BU) would edge out BC.  Georgetown and Carnegie Mellon are harder admits (even if Northeastern fans don't want to admit it) and don't have huge bumps for early rounds that would capture the lower stats kids that also attend Northeastern (along with the high stats ones)[/quote]

Some of the most popular majors are engineering. BC and GT don't even have it, so if you are engineering, they are automatically out.
UFlorida is a great option for FL instate, but for OOS with similar or little more, Northeastern wins.

Sure CMU CS and Engineering is harder admit    
My kid was actually deciding between Northeastern CS+ Media Art vs CMU IS + IDEATE.
Yea my kid is not even a straight CS kid and CMU CS is out of reach.  
Visited both and liked both schools, but decided CS might be better than IS degree in the long run although CMU had better prestige.
Ended up choosing Northeastern.

In summary, various reasons and decision points.
