<p>neuchimie: At traditional 4 year schools, the 6 year grad stat gives students a 2 year “grace period” to finish their degrees. At Northeastern it is only a one year grace period for 5 year studentsand no grace period for pharm, arch and PT. The difference might not be large but the grad rate would be a bit higher with that extra year. </p>
