There’s been an obvious downward trend in acceptance rate from Northeastern over the years. Last years was 28% if I’m not mistake, and only a couple years ago the acceptance rate was well into the 30s. Do you think this year the acceptance rate will continue to decrease? It’s honestly making me anxious that it’s getting much more prestigious than it used to be.
Also does anyone have the academic profile of the 2016 freshman (stats on GPA and test scores of accepted students)?

The curve has begun to level off - you aren’t going to see Northeastern’s acceptance rate keep going down to the teens anytime soon for many reasons. Expect an ever so slightly decrease and for the admitted student profile to look similar.
