Those numbers are not fraudulent.
In 2020 it was 64k applications, 2019 62k, 2018 62k.
Yes the latest ones are fraudulent.
DP here. You and those like you seem to have so many claims in your posts, yet no citations. Fascinating.
It seems your time may be better spent on anything but colleges. Or facts.
You can easily Google those. The fraud is obvious.

There's the marketing rep. Is this from the glossy brochure? I'd rather not be bombarded with ads from someone not even paying.
So wish we had logins on this site!
I don't think they need marketing when they get close to 100K apps
What they count as an app doesn’t even have to be completed. Just the slightest interest is counted.
What does that even mean??
Their application numbers are artificially inflated. They reject kids who don't complete the app but count that in their admission statistics.
All schools used to do that, but I think that's not allowed any more.
Northeastern received over 98,000 applications for admission. I don't get why some people claim that that isn't true. For whatiever reason NEU became a hot school. I know at my DC's school a good portion of the top students applied there. When you get close to 100k applications for a freshmen class of 4,500 you don't have to worry about selecting a strong class.
You seem like you believe anything that you read. Sorry to burst your bubble but those application numbers are fabricated.
So you are basically accusing Northeastern of commiting fraud? Any evidence or is just your hunch?

Northeastern's 2016 acceptance rate was almost 30%. The current numbers from their admissions office are so statistically unlikely they are laughable.

Oh NEU will use any excuse to increase enrollment. All it takes is a year of yield miscalculation and viola, they have an extra 1500 students on campus. Happened a few years ago

Northeastern actually bought one tower of the Sheraton. They are in the process of renovating many of the rooms. An interesting fact is that with the tunnel system you can walk from the Sheraton to most of Northeastern's campus without ever having to brave the Boston cold!

How many students are in the Dublin campus? I am a little worried that when my child returns to Boston they won't have as broad of a friend group. That seems to be the biggest concern.
