@lookingforward @Corbett When I saw that BU was cutting the size of the freshman class from 4100 to 3300 I wondered how that was possible without downsizing the university. What they did was they moved 400 CGS students to the January-London program and nearly doubled the number of transfer admits. Et voila it all evens out with the added benefit of appearing more selective for purposes of rankings. Transfer admissions does not affect the rankings, retention rate or graduation rate that are published. And yet Northeastern gets all the grief for “gaming” the rankings.
