I personally prefer Brandeis over Northeastern but that’s just because of aesthetics. But when it comes down to it, to me, Northeastern has more name recognition which could be a contributing factor. Not only will the co-op experiences at Northeastern bolster your resume, it will also provide you with a few more connects, come application time to Stanford. With Brandeis, you are still able to get internships but the co-op is built right into the education at Northeastern, making it slightly less stressful. It’s just different. If I were making this decision, I would be focusing on which environment I like more and how willing am I to actively seek for internships.

Nonetheless, I’d pick the school you feel more at “home” at. Because what matters is what you do at each school, not just the school itself. You could bum at a great school and not get accepted. It comes down to your feelings. JUST LISTEN TO YOUR HEART WHEN IT’S CALLING FOR YOU
