The acceptance rate is 5%, that alone shows that it is in high demand right now. Whether it's top 10, 20, 50 is up for debate, but based on what I'm hearing from DC it is easily in the same consideration set as the lower ivies, top publics, vandy, washu, etc. I personally know a student who took NEU over Cornell this cycle for computer science specifically for the co-op program, even though NEU is more expensive. Students are saavy these days and know how important it is to get job experience.

https://www.collegekickstart.com/blog/item/class-of-2028-early-decision-and-early-action-results


Boston:
EDI and EDII admission rates for class of 2028; 6400 applied EDI and EDII (ED II admission rate is 20%; 3,000 EDII applied, 600 admitted

Early Action admission rates: 56,000 appied, 2,640 admitted (5.6%) The AVERAGE SAT is 1500.

Last year, overall admission rate to NEU was 5.6%

For this year, more than 18% ED applicants chose NU.in as a first choice, so of the 1,000 or so NU.in freshmen, approximately 540 were selected ED. Northeastern will fill the remainin slots from 1) those RD applicants who chose NU.in; and 2) those RD applicants who were rejected from Boston

NU Mills/Oakland only has 400 freshmen, mostly social justice students and STEM students. Supposedly the admission rate is around 25% for that campus.

So if you are really interested in being sorry or happy for your supposed "friends' children", if they're studying in Boston be very very happy.

It was a sincere question, albeit framed in a goofy way. I really don't know much about it.

My kid didn't apply there, so I don't know much about it other than its reputation from 30+ years ago. My kid mentioned last night that only 1 of the 6 Northeastern kids in his HS class were admitted to the main campus, so I was curious how it works, whether the competitive numbers of late I've seen for Northeastern lately apply to all campuses or what ...

THIS is the problem.

Please get up to speed on technology in general or Google at a minimum.

The data is out there.

And this part also about NEU "I just, I have students that actually can't afford to go there that are going because they got into a sub 10% admit rate school. They didn't even know it's of maybe a five year program. Yeah. I don't, I don't, I I I just, I don't think it's right. I think it's really unethical. I'm sorry"

Don't fall for the hype people.

I’m not sure what is wrong with you but the time you spend hating Northeastern could be better spent doing just about anything else.

What's wrong with you that you don't allow anyone else to have a different opinion than you. These are statements from college counselors not me.

It’s the effort you take to research and type it all up.

Why don’t you spend time doing all that for something you love not something you hate?
