<p>“The waitlist does mean that they see something they like in you, but unfortunately don’t have room for you” Isn’t that almost exactly what the NUin program is designed for? I am not at all saying NUin students aren’t qualified to be NEU students, because they made it in, obviously they deserve it. It just seems that it is designed for the lower portion of the admitted students, and particularly the full pay students. Again, being an NUin student does not mean you’re a bad student and I’m sure many thrive more so than the students admitted to Boston for the fall. However, the concept that if you’re “selected” for the NUin program you either have to go abroad or cannot go at all seems a little fishy. There has to be more to it, as much as they sell it otherwise.</p>
<p>It just bothers me a little that this seems to be a way for NEU to guarantee the most revenue possible. I mean no offense to NUin admitted students, and I’m sure it is ideal and beneficial, on top of being extremely fun, for a lot of students.</p>
