Northeastern had an admissions nightmare last year.  Over 1000 more students accepted their admission to Northeastern than expected. They are in a huge housing crunch (turning singles into doubles and doubles into triples).  The school has not handled its growth in popularity very well.  The infrastructure (housing, dining, ect..) is not handling the influx of students.  It is one of the reasons my son transferred.  Northeastern's admission rate for last year was 18%.  The admission rate for this year was 7%.  They are scrambling to recover from the miscalculations of last year.

As for the other schools, many are probably going through the same post COVID re-shaping.  The lack of requirement for standardized testing and diminishing relevance of AP courses makes things more challenging for students with great numbers.  Sometimes the numbers don't matter when taking the "holistic approach" to admissions.  I think your niece had the bad luck of graduating in the wrong year.
