[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't think anyone disputes Northeastern's retention rate is top 10 in the country.

Part of the reason is pretty simple.  Some schools, especially larger publics, have to weed out kids.  It's the nature of the business.

Northeastern admits to the university, and not to a college and/or degree.  They just try to get the smartest kids they can.  Obviously the ones who show up are academically capable.

If you get into Northeastern, you will graduate from Northeastern.  [/quote]
Unless they are cooking this metric too.

[b]NEU tries to get the smartest kids they think will attend.  Not the smartest kids.[/b] [/quote]

?? Sound perfectly normal just like most other schools??
Who wants to offer admission to students seem not really interested???

[/quote]
How do they know who is interested? Guess based on whether you had money to visit or application is good but not too good?

Actual top schools admit who they think are the best candidates.  State schools too.   [/quote]

Remember? A lot of too good applications  were rejected by the very actual top school like Harvard. It got sued and lost LOL[/quote]

NEU is more selective than Harvard though[/quote]

Yup they are both selective and doing the same thing. [/quote]

I would argue NEU gets the more selective crowd with higher stat students, Harvard focuses on well rounded with hooks, versus high stats, it explains why NEU is twice as selective with 3-4% acceptance rate.[/quote]

Other than being 2 universities in Massachusetts,  Harvard and NEU comparisons are silly. Different tiers.

No shade on NEU. Solid school, but nowhere near T10 like Harvard.

No reason to stretch. That's where trolls come in to disrupt threads like this.[/quote]
