This thread has become like some horrible rock that I can’t help looking under once in a while. But it’s gotten really boring and it seems to be driven by three or four posters at most. I used to be on the “anti” team because the NEU booster was insufferable - even though I would have liked my DD to apply to NEU (she didn’t want to.) But you anti guys are just as insufferable as the booster now. How about nobody posts about Northeastern unless they’ve looked at the school as recently as four years ago and/or are seriously interested in having their kid go there?

THIS!!!

+1. Nailed it. The schtick is the same: post disingenuous thread question. Get a few responses. Post additional question that looks like it is piggybacking on the first, but opens doors for criticism of the school. The same people chime in about their negative thoughts and opinions. Far fetched opinions and false claims start trickling in. A few people chime in to tell the negative posters why they know their false claims to be false. It becomes more obvious that the negative posters know less and less about the actual facts and goings on about the school. Negative posters start asking for facts. Sane posters back away slowly from the same old post about the same school. OP or someone like them pretends to be a young person chiming in, adding ridiculous statements (a reflection of their "personality", or lack of, as a grown adult). Sane posters start questioning why the admin allows such posting. OP claims that there is "marketing" or "boosters", which tells you something about OPs sanity (ie: lack of). OP and those like them persist with their false claims. OP continues to wonder why people are questioning their absurd thread. Repeat.

I would feel bad for OP and those like them if they were not so sad and predictable. It has been said often that posters are sorry for OP that they were not accepted to the school, yet OP seems fixated on the topic, which can not be healthy for them or their family. OP and those like them posting here, does not change their situation.

Getting college information from an anonymous board is not a way to find mostly good or mostly accurate information, and many parents have kids who actually did the research to know this. OP, you should probably start fixating on your own family, instead of what other students are doing or not doing. Again, what you are doing can not be healthy for you or your family.

Agree. What is the definition os insanity? Posting about a school over and over hoping for different results? OP is what mental illness looks like. If "no one cares" about a school, why are there so many threads and posts about it? It's a good school. Let it go.

Curious why it gets almost 100k applications? And if it is true that there are only 3,000 freshmen, they must be doing something right.

They made it so easy to apply by just a few extra clicks on the common app. No essays or additional materials like most colleges require for an application.

The number of applications are due to 1) ridiculously easy application, 2) the location in Boston, and 3) the school is considered not a hard admit so accessible to the average kid.

It is really that simple. The number of applications is not a meaningful metric.

It's the opposite. Their marketing doesn't seem to work.
Never heard of it until we actively start researching for colleges.
One of my kids is attending now.
