[quote=Anonymous]When I was doing my research as a high school student, I had this giant book of colleges (not Fiske, it had many more schools included) and they had lists of schools at the front by "selectivity", major, etc. and I literally looked up and read the descriptions for all the "most selective" colleges. I can tell you right now that Emory, Vanderbilt, and Northeastern were not on that list, and I'm not sure ANY public schools were. Possibly Berkeley. After I graduated college (late 90's), I moved to Boston and Northeastern was such an afterthought as a school. It came (well) after Harvard, MIT, Tufts, BC and BU--it was like a step up from UMass Boston. My roommate's boyfriend was a graduate and let's just say he was not the academic type. All these years later, my friend's very bright daughter who has 2 parents that are Ivy league graduates, felt lucky to be accepted there. [/quote]
