Also remember when looking at those SAT scores that international students tend to score low on the SAT due to language differences. Given that Northeastern has something like 1/6 of its population from out of country, the SAT scores are misleadingly low.
Everyone says Northeastern gamed the system like they’re cheating. They spent a lot of money and attracted a lot of very high quality students, and the coop program is much more than a gimmick and will continue to attract a quality caliber of students.
Forbes’ rankings are ridiculous- College of William and Mary ranked higher than the ivies? Please. That should be the first hint that they aren’t very reliable.
