From Northeastern’s 2010-2011 Fact Book;

Fall 2010 applications; 37,688
acceptances; 14,291
Acceptance rate: 37.9% (making it “highly selective”)
enrollments; 2839
Yield: 19.8% (of applicants who enrolled)

Given the increase in applications to 43,000 this year, essentially the same number of targeted enrollments, and a growing reputation (meaning greater expected yield), the acceptance rate will probably be even lower this year.
