<p>Just wondering, thanks for any responses.</p>
<p>They don’t publish admissions statistics by school, so nobody knows for sure, but from what I know Northeastern’s business school D’Amore-McKim is considered to be the hardest (again, just a rumor). This based on how it is often most difficult to transfer into within Northeastern (engineering is hard to transfer into as well but I think more so because of the strict major requirements, it is hard to transfer in and graduate on time). Northeastern’s business school is ranked #19 I think by Forbes, and the school overall is ranked #49 by USNWR.</p>
<p>Again, this is all just what I’ve heard, and I don’t think it matters a whole lot as a degree from any school within Northeastern is generally well regarded.</p>
<p>It does vary by program. For example, I have heard that nursing and the 6-year PT and pharmacy programs have more rigorous requirements, but nothing confirmed.</p>
<p>I was told over the phone by admissions when I was accepted as a transfer that the college of engineering was the hardest, but she could just have been saying that since that was the college I was accepted into or because it is possible “the hardest to transfer into”… Like mentioned, D’Amore-McKim is ranked extremely high so it definitely wouldn’t surprise me if that was the hardest either.</p>
<p>I would guess it is close between D’Amore and Bouve for PT/Pharmacy for freshman admissions</p>
<p>Wouldn’t Undeclared be of considerable difficulty?</p>
<p>Undeclared is not a school.</p>
<p>Never mind then. However, and I’m just wondering, when you apply undeclared, do you not apply to a school, or is there a different thing that you do?</p>
<p>You do not apply to a school - instead you apply to the undeclared program.</p>
<p>Thank you all!</p>
<p>Northeastern had the 4th highest number of applications in the fall next to UCLA, NYU, and Penn State.</p>
<p>While Undeclared is a program and not a college, it is still one of the tougher ones to get into - simply because they do not have the room for that many undeclared. That said, my feeling is that the college of PT/Pharmacy is probablh one of the harder ones to get into. Simply because there is not that much room. Business is hard because it is very popular. Engineering, while the entering students have some of the higher GPA’s on campus - is also one of the larger colleges so usually is not that hard to get into if you are qualified. </p>
<p>How difficult would you say applying to the College of Science as a Physics major would be relative to Northeastern’s average admissions stats?</p>
<p>Major within a college doesn’t play a role. As for CoS vs. the general, they don’t release specific stats for individual colleges, but i think that CoS would be about in line with the university-wide stats.</p>
