It is not WashU/Emory level now, nor was it before; it’s a notch below. I also see Emory as a notch below WashU.
As for US News rankings, hadn’t it ranked Stanford as #6 for many years? Please.

Certainly recognizable name. A student will have to grow up immediately. Exact opposite of a hand holding, "nurturing" SLAC.

Most undergrads in the T100 are good. But I'm only willing to pay 300k for a name brand with strong ascending reputation. Is that NYU? That's what I'm asking.

Absolutely, schools like NYU, USC, and Northeastern will keep on rising.

USC is known as a school for those who couldn't get into its rival - UCLA. In terms of quality, location, and cost, many choose USC only after they were rejected by UCLA. I am inclined to think the same thing with NYU, US News ranked #35. It's an option for those who didn't make the cut at Stony Brook -- SUNY, US News ranked #58,

Couldn’t be more wrong!

You are an idiot.

Look, I don't agree with that phrasing - and possibly thinking - to a large extent. But NYU seems like a huge money pit, a huge one.

If anything Emory is the best of the 3.

NYU and Emory were to top choices for ED for my kid.

Went with NYU and got in. Will choose NYU again if accepted to both and have options.

NYU has better business school, better engineering, better CS.

Emory is really not considered above NYU for many people.

#35 or 59 - what's the difference? Def. not $50000 more per year.

Maybe you should see if your kid even gets in first.

People keep saying $300K, but you should expect the full cost to be closer to $95K/year when all is said and done.

If money is not much of an object, NYU is a great brand and choice.

Yes, it’s in a safe, well-run city where the streets are clean, the drivers are sane, & all of its diverse citizens embrace each other’s individual value in the dazzling array of customs & languages.

Best of all, it’s affordable for college kids, & has many wholesome activities for people of all ages. Yes sir, a degree from NYU is a passport to success & acceptance across the country, because whether it’s Alabama or Idaho, everyone brightens up when they know a real New Yorker has just walked in the door.

NYC is a lot safer than many cities and can be fairly accepting of all of its residents, who come from near and far. More so than many other cities across the country. Great transit system if one doesn't want to drive every day.

Yeah, NYers can be jerks, but if a student is planning on living/working in states all along the two coasts, Chicago, parts of Texas, then a diploma from there is a good brand.

And I am the PP dissuading folks from sending their DCs to NYU if money is even remotely an issue.
