Why is Northeastern (NEU) so popular with both parents and students these days?

This doesn't make sense, it's harder to get into NEU than all of those colleges, literally lol.

Yeah, just fckin around, trying to lighten the ridiculous mood a bit.

It’s all a crap shoot these days. My kid got in to NEU. Chose another Boston school, but would’ve been very happy with NEU if they’d only gotten in there. They really aren’t that different, unless it’s MIT or Harvard. The competition ppl try to create here is silly.

Harvard gets the best faculty because they pay a ton, they give very generous research support, and they require comparatively little teaching. Northeastern can't compete on any of those fronts. Academically, it is one of the weaker schools within the group it's ranked with in the USNWR listing.

That doesn't mean it's a bad school, and there are plenty of good reasons a student might choose to go there. But the idea that it's competing with Harvard is just wacky.

No one is saying that - you are missing the analogy and want to nitpick. Point being, people who were admitted to allegedly better schools as some claim ("T20" - suuuuuuuure) would not be here to complain about what they see as a lesser school. On any front.

OP and company wants people to feed them facts about Northeastern because OP and company are too stupid to scrutinize their Googling, and can't decipher good information/sources from bad information/sources. Which is not our problem.

OP and company's predictable pattern has failed in all ways. They keep repeating the same "argument" expecting a different result.

DELICIOUS.

NEU does NOT compare to Harvard or MIT. In fact, it's a place for dumb kids from DC.

Same. The deranged booster is the best.

How is that name calling helping you? Is it helping you cope with being rejected? How about rejected from Northeastern? Hard pill for you to swallow, apparently.

Nope. Did not apply. Just enjoy your crazy.

Another bystander, but I'm so over the crazy booster. This thread has run its course 5x over!

Except there is no “booster” only OP and their small contingent who are “haters”, and those with experience who know better and correct them. Then OP and their two friends chime in with the name calling.

I must say that I’ve never seen quite a temper tantrum about being denied from a college before. For shame, OP and their two friends. Don’t expect to bully kids about their college choice and not have people tell you to eff off, “big, tough man”.

The problem with the NEU booster or boosters (we lack full knowledge) is that they are not smart enough to boost well and discreetly. For example, always attacking the “OP” as if the “OP” is continually posting on a 40+ page thread. Then the next thing is always blaming someone’s distaste of the boosting on being rejected by the school, when they have no idea if that is the case. The NEU replies are based on flawed logic and are so absurd in the claims regarding peer schools that it almost seems as if the booster is in on the joke and is being sarcastic while trolling and messing with us about Northeastern. A lot of people on DCUM are smart and the NEU booster seems to lack the intellectual chops to even boost effectively, which in turn makes the boosting even more infuriating.

Curious where your child or children went to school?

PP here. Aaaaaaaaaahhhhh! Booster, please, stop the crazy! None of us have kids that were denied. We're just tired of your constant factless assertions/promotions. Just be happy and quit raining down your deranged derecho of delusion.

Love seeing you so upset after you started your bs. You can deny it all you want. You deserve it.

Huh? I just said "Calgon, take me away" about 20 pp ago, and it's still going! I've only posted a few times in response to crazy claims to ask the booster to move on, to say the comparisons are ridiculous and to respind that my kid did not apply (when booster claimed rejection). I guess my issue is twofold -- the bogus claims of the booster and the resurrecting of this thread so that it is perma ad (I guess tge idea is that all publicity is good publicity). Feels like a page out of Trump's playbook. Trump U part 2?

Yes. Great summary. I’m sure the booster will say we are all NEU hater friends so nice to meet you 😂

Not sure why those who hate the university post here? What do they get out of it? And why do they continue to pollute every NEU thread?

I think they despise the NEU booster more and are actually meh about the school.
It’s equally disingenuous of the booster to claim NEU hate crimes every time there is dissent about the school though. Whoever that is needs to grow up.

Since the average SAT at Northeastern is something like 1500, your puerile insults reflect more on you than you think, my friend.

NEU when they publish their stats is on track for a 2% acceptance rate. It's literally 3 times harder to get into NEU than Harvard. I smell a touch of envy from the people who ridicule NEU, which justifiably is now an as a top 5 school from students and counselors alike.

You do know how easy it is to play with stats? I look at the kids I know … literally all got into NEU
