I knew you’d show! Hotel management is a separate school at BU. Advertising is in another school at BU. And according to the current facts on the Northeastern website - which has newer data than the website I used - the percentage of MA residents in the freshman class (of I assume last year) was 31.44% - just divide 919 MA residents by 2923 enrolled freshmen. If you’re talking about the business school, BU doesn’t release SMG’s breakdown but it is less MA residents than the overall school so again the comparison isn’t correct.

The real point, again, is which kind of program you want. I always say that: check my posts. The Northeastern people point to rankings as though they’re a magic talisman which you can wear around your neck. They’re not. I have no stake in where you go to school. I have no idea why they care so much about convincing you to go there because it’s your life. You make your own future.

And IvyGrad, I went to Yale. I’ve been involved with Yale for over 30 years. I know what SOM is and, believe me, the curriculum is closer to what BU teaches. Everyone - I hope - knows that Yale doesn’t have any, any, any undergrad pre-professional schools. It’s a liberal arts college - Yale College - and is part of Yale University. Yale College doesn’t even have a business or management major. The closest you get is econ.
