<p>I dont know what indianpwnerdude’s gripe with Northeastern is but i will offer a contrarian view. WPI is not stronger than Northeastern. WPI is ranked 50ish for engineering where BU and NEU are ranked 60ish very marginal. NEU has several distinguished programs outside of engineering as well such as business, journalism, architecture, pharmacy, and health sciences. Coop is unmatched and Northeastern offers the best opportunities out of any school in MA excluding Hardvard and MIT. </p>
<p>As for transfer students 70% are from 4 year institutions. Which leaves 30% for community college but this stat doesn’t matter because of financial cost effects. WPI is decent for engineering but thats all it offers. Northeastern is tougher and tougher to get into but you have a decent chance as a transfer student and is much much tougher to get into than wpi. Good luck!</p>
