The overlap is with Musical Theater students who applied to both NYU and Michigan. |

That’s cause…it doesn’t! |

| Remove Harvard, MIT, CalTech, Yale, Syracuse, Brandeis, Tulane, Miami as a starter. |

NYU-BU-Miami apps aren’t that uncommon. It’s the rich spoiled kid starter park. |

The list reflects the size and scope of NYU. It is many things to many people.
Two 4-bedroom homes sitting side by side in a subdivision leaves little to the imagination when valuing real estate. But some custom houses on large but oddly shaped lots are tough to “comp” as there is nothing else quite like it. So the comparable properties are a fuzzy guide, not a benchmark. It’s much easier to identify a peer when the details are succinct. That’s how we get silly acronyms like SWAT. NYU is tough to define. The list actually makes sense to me, when broken down by department. |

Meant to say WASP. But you knew that? |

NYU Stern and UMich Ross. Arts and Sciences as well. |

Wow. Don't we have a little childish angst. So sad. You are embarrassing NYU. Which is an excellent school. But every batch has a few bad apples. |

This is why Cal and UCLA are good peers, along with private USC. Diverse, academically rich, urban, although Cal is probably closest (there is only one NYC). A big difference is that UCs have more STEM kids. My guess is that a fair number of CA UMC applicants to Cal and UCLA also apply to NYU. |

HYPS aside, it's basically the top privates in the U.S. Makes sense. |

| NYU is a very large school with 30,000 undergraduates. It's going to cater to everybody. How many truly urban private colleges that are well regarded are there in the US? It attracts students from all over the world. The biggest issue that some have is that its campus is not like a typical US college. |

It’s more just that it has some clear peers like USC and BU. You can argue Penn too. Some schools are just more like each other. |

NYU is a large university that caters to the wealthy, foolish, and feckless. They will let you in then send to China, Berlin, or one of their other outposts to remove your DC from the applicant pool and fudge their numbers even more. Makes the public drool---it is so eliete. The best real campus and college in New York City is Columbia. Not NYU. Like any real university it does not offer an undergraduate degree in business, which is vocational at best. They do not let you in and send you to a first semester in Europe. For all you DP's hoping that DC lands on Wall Street as a quant trader, private equity analyst, or a real shot at IB; NYU undergrad is not the path. Maybe for an MBA, but not undergrad. CMU, Columbia, U of Chicago----physics; even Hamilton, and Colgate are better options. |

The value of the NYU MBA is diluted but the countless people who receive watered down part time and other MBAs from NYU. A full time MBA is dramatically different from one of those degrees, both in terms of difficulty of admissions and the nature of the actual experience. Yet they all go claiming to be NYU MBAs. Kind of like the people who lead their LinkedIn pages with reference to Harvard or somewhere similar because they took one Exec class there but could barely differentiate Cambridge from Medford. |
