I guess that's relative. I was talking to a military officer recruiter at one of the universities in the Chicago area about how his efforts were going on the campus and he said "great" -- at least on that campus -- because the number of
eligible students was ~98%. When asked what he meant by "eligible", he rattled off the minimum academic standards which were 2.0 college GPAs, very mediocre ACT/SAT scores. He then proceeded to talk about other schools like NIU where the percentage of "eligible" students were in the mid 40s...
So -- NIU may be good for some, and not so good for others.
