UF ans Wake are elite but Northeastern is not?

Wake has consistently been ranked 25-30 since it was classified as a national university in the 90s. Prior to that, it was #1 in the Southern region.

It was profiled in a book of the top 50 US colleges around that time as well.

Not sure why you need to knock it

Here's the latest ranking for retention

#1 MIT, UChicago
#2 Duke, Notre Dame, Northeastern, Northwestern

My kid loves Rice.

PP here. Didn't know where to put Deep Springs but it's a harder admit than any Ivy, so.

I'll play. My kid and his tight friend group:

Yale - happy
Brown - mixed bag.
Swarthmore - mixed bag but happier than Brown guy.
Vanderbilt - mostly not happy
Georgetown - decidedly unhappy
Deep Springs - deliriously happy

Everyone I’ve ever met who went to Cornell seems to hate it.

+1. Northeastern parents just can’t help themselves.

Northeastern ranked 44, which is close enough to be considered elite for this list.

Don’t see the same outrage when Cornell is called a T15, with a USNews ranking of 17.

Lol because one is Northeastern and the other is Cornell. Let me guess, you think Northeastern is same level as Cornell?

don’t get defensive, Cornell is still firmly ranked in the top 20

Lol… not being defensive at all. Northeastern is no threat to Cornell. You are funny

Notre Dame

Great experience at UVA, though I know people here will revolt that I said that.
