[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For the NEU bashers, what makes it overrated? Yes, it USED to be a commuter school and played the game to rise up USNWR rankings, but now enrolls high stat kids from all over the country and has an acceptance rate below 20%.  Poor education? Subpar job placement?  Serious inquiry. My rising senior and I really liked it. Outside a couple of "lottery" schools, it's his first choice. [/quote]

To be frank, it just doesn't have that great of an image. LOTS of kids make fun of it, think of it as the desperate school that gamed the rankings, etc. It's an image issue almost solely since I'm sure it'a good school (though not sure if it's enough to justify the price/hype). We'll see if that image changes a decade or two from now.[/quote]

If that's true, that's because the handful of kids around you are spoiled brats raised by shallow parents who only care about prestige. 
I have a kid in a T20 school and never heard of the kid and kid's friends making fun of other schools.  
Well I guess there's always a loud minority voice.

[b]The general image of Northeastern is a cool city school that produces results. [/b]
That's why the application is surging. It would be the opposite if the image is actually bad duh.

Lol the NEU kool-aid at its finest. NEU may be a lot of things, but I can promise you that its general image is definitely not one of a "cool city school" (lmao).

I mean, come on, let's get real. The top post on Applying2College [i]right now[/i] is a bunch of students and prospective students decrying the school.[/quote]
