Northeastern invites many students to join the nu.in program that takes slightly less qualified students and sends them overseas for q1 first year. Not in stats. Spring admits. Not in stats. And other ideas to help their usnwr rankings. But they have become a super great school.

BC 2022 avg admit was 33 act 1458 sat and all time low number of 27 % Accept rate. High classroom achievement. And bc has a lot of d 1. Acc level d1 athletes in their averages. Not that all are lower scholastically than the avg but many can’t focus as much on school with the sports ec
I think there lots of kids who get into one and perhaps rejected or wl at the other two.
In the past it was Emory then bc and then Nu
Now I think Emory bc is a coin flip and nu just outside of that circle. IMHO. But who knows?
