<p>The Northeastern full tuition scholarship for NMF is quite real - they report awarding around 100 per year. </p>

<p>This student’s stats are certainly good enough to get full tuition at other quality schools. I’m not sure where your notion that he wouldn’t be able to comes from. A 1520 SAT and NMF status will either one earn full scholarships at many good schools, just not that many in New England.</p>
