I saw that no one posted this, so I thought I would share this here. Seems like Northeastern was over-enrolled again this year by about 200 students.

Freshman retention rate of 96%, 6 year graduation rate of 89%.

@TomSrOfBoston

Did the Freshman retention rate and 6-year graduation rate remain consistent from previous years?

Retention fell rom 97% to 96% although that could be due to rounding. The 6 year graduation rate has been increasing by one point per year for the last several years.

Wow, I’m surprised they weren’t much more conservative. I suppose they will be keeping the midtown hotel then. At least the two-year spacing should help as people move off campus by choice.

@PengsPhils
They probably will take a more conservative approach for this cycle. That would explain all the deferrals.

@MozartFan0418 The deferrals were also very common last year though, and have been consistently for the past 3-4 years now. I’d bet the yield difference is actually coming from less predicable RD projections.
