[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP. I have a junior with Northeastern on the list. We have visited. He has high stats.  I was reading the NEU thread on EA over at CC some weeks ago and was surprised that there were high stats applicants offered non-Boston campuses -- who didn't ask for it. While I wonder what it takes to get Boston, the idea that a student intentionally says "only Boston" and the school offers some other campus anyway is irksome.[/quote]

I’ve already discussed with my junior about the multiple options and acceptances and I agree it’s unclear what it takes to get Boston.  I get how it’s annoying to state a preference and not have the school honor it - however, the flip side is that students can receive a non-preferred admission option at many colleges - I.e. I applied for fall and got spring or applied to CS but got arts and sciences etc. Even if it isn’t the preference, it will come down to what are the other choices (including how it relates to fit and money) weighed against how much do I want to attend the college that accepted me but not to my preferred major, timing, or location.
