Why is Northeastern University becoming so competitive?

<p>According to some of the reviews on an unofficial source, listed below reasons could be why Northeastern University is becoming competitive:</p><ul><li><strong>Competition:</strong> Top universities that attract the top students are becoming more selective. So, the top students who do not make it to the top-ranked universities are moved to Tier 2 schools or universities, and so on. Therefore, because of the competition, many top applicants are turned down from their choice of schools and are forced to join a less prestigious university. This explains a large number of applicants are applying to Northeastern University and why the acceptance rate of the university is<strong> just around 7% now</strong></li><li><strong>Financial Reasons:</strong> Many students turn down offers from elite schools because of financial reasons. A lot of students cannot afford to have an elite private education and the culture is shifting to get some loan to study. Now, Northeastern University is also an expensive university but it does offer scholarship opportunities to students. Incoming first-year international students at NEU are automatically considered for merit-based scholarships. <strong>Award range up to USD 28,000</strong> <strong>annually</strong> but do not cover the total cost of attendance</li></ul>
