For further perspective, you can compare NYU's Student Selectivity Rank to those of other schools. NYU appears to be similar in selectivity to Swarthmore (#18) and Pomona (#20) at this time, for example.

NYU isn't remotely as selective as SWAT, Pomona, or any top SLAC in that ranking.

It may look that way because of the huge number of applications bit it's just not true. You need to check with the CC at your school. At our west coast private NYU isn't a hard admit with the right stats. I just checked our SCOIR and it's about 30-40% overall but for a kid at or above 4.3 and 1520 it goes to over 80%.

This is prolly for uber CA schools like harker, nueva, etc.

It's not one of those two but it's a bay area school in that general group.

You must be looking in the mirror. I was going to explain it to you but I realized that if you aren't smart enough to understand the dynamics on my own I am just wasting my time.

Different poster. There's a big difference between getting into Stern compared to the rest of NYU. Just like Wharton is more competitive than the rest of Penn. And same with Dyson at Cornell. And Marshall at USC. These are all single digit admission rate programs. No doubt some rando private school student from California with a 1400 can get into the rest of NYU. But Stern is much, much more competitive.

In 2025, nearly every bright boy is applying to engineering or business. So those two programs are profoundly more competitive than other programs at most schools.

I’d be careful about overstating this. For class of 2029, NYU reported around a 3.5% admit rate for Stern, about 5% for Arts and Science and 7.7% overall. Rumor has it that Gallatin (a create your own major school) and Liberal Studies Core are less difficult, but, if so, probably not higher than the low 10% range.

NYU or Washington Square News has a link somewhere with more precise numbers.

That's why this poster just pulled his mythical private school's matriculation rate to NYU Stern out of his azz. Stern has a sub 5% admission rate and won't take some rando private school applicant with a 1400 SAT which is what that oddball poster claimed.

True, 100+

According to poets and quants, 46% reported score at Stern, avg score 1540. Google it.

Thats still less than half

Wharton was at 51%, so not far behind.
