[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Many private schools hit hard including WashU, NYU, Tufts, Wake Forest, URochester, Tulane, etc.  I don't see people will switch to big state schools because of the rankings.  2nd tier UCs, Texas, Ohio, etc. Nope.

Looking at the private schools, three schools ahead of NEU - Lehigh, URochester, and Wake Forest won't surpass NEU in popularity anytime soon.  Next three are the Boston peer schools - BU, BC, Tufts.  After that NYU nd T25ish schools.
Nothing much has changed for Northeastern.[/quote]

Rochester is a much better school than NEU, but yes they won't surpass them because "Boston vs Rochester" for location.

And no, most people will not switch from smaller private schools to huge state schools, as nothing has changed, those smaller schools are "better schools" IMO, I don't care about graduation rate for first gen/Pell grant students.  I hope any school my kid attends would work hard to ensure those kids graduate, but I recognize a lot of that is outside factors that the university cannot do anything about.  I care that my kid has smaller class sizes, qualified professors, smaller recitation/discussion sections, and the ability to ACTUALLY do research in the amazing facilities, so while the huge state schools might have those facilities, most undergrads do not get to do meaningful research for 2-3 years in them, they are reserved for grad students and a few honors kids.
