[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And yet, over 100,000 students have applied to Northeastern for the past couple of years.  And, only a few thousand are accepted to Boston (and attend).

So bash away, but the kids who attend are top students, do amazing co-ops and get good jobs, including my child [/quote]
No one said it’s a a bad school.  This is a school ranked lower than UMd that pretends it is super selective with these games. As a result, you have people wanting to spend $100k for the wrong reasons.  [/quote]

It's popular and selective for reasons. People are not dumb especially when they shell out $100K.
Don't worry about other people's lives.

Sure people aren't dumb, but they clearly have different priorities. Co-op was not something that sold my kid on the school. It sounded gimmicky and shallow. He wanted to know about the actual college experience and quality of the professors. My kid attended a much higher ranked school and had internships in college...no problem. He did't need the built in co-op. I think we may have spent less in tuition as well!

Nothing gimmicky about it; it's just a good service. Northeastern is an R1 research university first. Co-op was a nice bonus, but it wasn't the major factor for my kid.

One of my kids picked Northeastern over a couple of higher-ranked schools. No school is for everyone. If your kid picked a school and is happy, then that's great. My kid and I don't bash the schools that rejected them or the schools my kid didn't choose.[/quote]
