The school itself is a good school- and you have to do the work to pass- but its the red tape you have to get past. You are just a number here and you never get a reply from the admin people when you need info.

Active in extracurricular activities, good SAT scores, good GPA, all that jazz on princetonreview.com and USNews. Northeastern admissions seems pretty superficial--I don't think my essay was all that great. I'm sure a good one can make up to some extent for not so great grades. I applied early admission, found out in late January. It is a pretty selective school. I think that my year, for every student that was admitted, 11 were turned away. Every year it gets more competitive. Every year, the caliber of student goes up.
SAT: 1900 Female
