[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NEU may not be Harvard and Yale, but there are only a few top colleges. I doubt very much someone who goes to Northeastern, BU, BC, NYU, Emory, WashU are all that different from one another, or in outcomes. [b]And yes, selectivity definitely helps perception. [/b] This isn't like comparing Seton Hall to Georgetown.[/quote] I wouldn't call this selectivity. I would call it bloated applications due to lack of essay requirements. Everyone knows this, but NEU supporters conveniently forget this.[/quote] Adding a dumb essay asking 'why our school' doesn't have much effect. Selectivity is function applicant quality + acceptance rate + yield rate. NEU's applicant quality is very high and it has very low acceptance rate. It's yield rate is not as good as those hyper selective schools So overall it's super selective but not at the level of those T20 or so schools with hyper selectivity. [/quote]
