Why does OP have to troll the schools he wasn’t admitted to? Grow up, already.




Op- this is not fake. Why are you trolling my post? I want advice! They admitted 2k kids to Oakland- mine is one of them!

That is actually exactly NOT how it works.

If OP actually had an Oakland offer, OP would not be asking here. There are closed groups that verify new members and reveal current members, so OP must be having a hard time. If you actually have an account/offer, you would ask questions in the closed groups, OP - not DCUM.






I’m the OP and I would not post this with my child’s name on a different forum! Are you talking about parent Facebook groups? I don’t do that.

I would certainly trust more of the actions of the students(retention & graduation rates) over a vague words(holistic approach?) from a professor.

Brandeis. Speaking as a college professor, their holistic approach to students is far better than Northeastern or GW.

Big question: Is your kid looking to get out of the DMV or would they be OK going to school in DC?

Northeastern is definitely better than Brandeis for overall college experience and quality of student.

Question is that is it still better with one year at Oakland first.




Why is the overall experience generally better at Northeastern? I understand that the comp sci or the quality of student may be better.


This is more of a subjective area.
However objectively speaking based on Retention Rate and Graduation Rate, I must conclude Northeastern is better because better the overall experience, more the students choose to stay and graduate.

I’d probably choose gw bc Oakland for a year doesn’t appeal but if your teen doesn’t mind then Northeastern.
