It seems like to me what Northeastern has going for it outweighs what AU has (the major + concentration you want, co-op, rise in rankings). AU is more prestigious in the Poli Sci department, yes, but I think that’s all it has going for it. Considering Northeastern is #1 in America for Co-Ops/Internships, I think Northeastern can definitely help you get jobs with political consultants, and even in DC if you want. Graduating with Northeastern with 18 months of work experience in the political realm will come a long way, and I don’t see how it wouldn’t help to get you into law school. I think Northeastern would really pull through for you bud. I too applied to AU but I got into Northeastern as an EA admit and I know for sure I’m going to choose NU over AU, because its co-op program will do wonders in the long run. Maybe I’m being biased (since I’m definitely going to NU in the fall) but this is what I truly think.
