1000+

Plus both Stern and Tisch are great programs with high caliber students. Think the acceptance rate is below 5%.

Say what you will, but NYU is a very popular college choice....some programs are very hard to get into.

went for graduate school for a small, well respected program - many years ago now. NYU had recently become the "It" school...not just a local college. There was lots to do - lots of internships, discount tickets to sports and theater, free NYU sponsored language classes, religious clubs, church. Everyone I knew loved their program - but hated the university. working the system was tough. and it was expensive...even with generous financial aide at the time. but there's nothing like living in New York!

Would nyu undergraduate be similar to Northeastern? Low admission rate and decent schools, but not T20? I know Northeastern is ranked lower, but asking from a prestige perspective.

Caliber of undergraduate students on average is probably slightly worse than the top publics, and they are wealthy on top of that so not as hardworking. Similar to USC frankly.

Us news has stern at top 5.

In December there was just a random homicide of that Columbia gal uptown in Harlem.

This made me think of the girl who posted a few years ago that she was a Columbia student who was so miserable she walked around at night hoping to get murdered, but her parents would not let her transfer. Hope she is okay and life has gotten better for her.
