When one talks of a Princeton, Harvard, or Yale man, I don’t think they’re thinking about the quality of the CS program. The upper class are thinking about a “type” of really smart, well-educated person that moves easily in posh social circles. CS and Northeastern doesn’t fit the mold.

Northeastern - SAT:1390-1540, accpetance rate: 18%

UVA - SAT:1340-1520, accpetance rate: 24%
GIT - SAT:1300-1510, accpetance rate: 21%
Berkeley - SAT:1330-1530, accpetance rate: 16%
Michigan - SAT:1340-1530, accpetance rate: 23%

NEU sends low-stat students to study abroad so that they can return to campus for the spring. This allows them to retain high-testing students for the fall (the only ones who get formally counted) so their testing numbers are as high as possible and acceptance rates can be reported as lower than they actually are. USC and Middlebury do the same thing with spring admits.

So many private schools play these types of nonsense games, and it’s eaten up by prestige obsessed parents.

This is part of why NEU will never be viewed as elite or prestigious by either academia or the prestige-driven industries. The whole institution reeks of desperation.

It has an outstanding business school and engineering school, but you do you.

NEU is ranked #23 on average salary score overall.
No wonder why the acceptance rate is so low.
In the end this is one of the most important factor.

As I know College of Computer Science is the best at NEU.
It's ranked 12th for Computer Science according to CSRankings.
http://csrankings.org/#/index?all&us

It also ranked 15th in sending to Silicon Valley.

So looks pretty elite in the Computer Science field.

Hahahahaha NEU is not elite by any stretch of the imagination.

I didn't say it's elite. Just provided the most objective stats.

NP. Interesting you bring up NEU. DS, an 11th grader, is very excited about applying there. While I wouldn't consider it prestigious and has benefitted from playing the "ratings game", is it that far off? Another decade of acceptance rates in the teens? What defines "prestigious" anyway?

PP. As a follow up, endowment numbers for each mentioned:

NEU $1.1B
UVa $15.4B
GA Tech $2.2B
UCB $5B
Mich $17B

What's the source?

UVa 7.26
Mich 12.48

Almost ALL colleges and unis send lower stats admits to study abroad, including ivies. I thought everyone knew this.
