Private universities almost always list only privates as peers

Once the deposit check was cashed, about a week later, they received emails that one was being sent to Madrid, and two were being sent to London. At NYU same thing. The deposit check was cashed, and the fourth kid was sent to Shanghai. All families were pissed and trapped.

In admissions, these moved students are not on the roll of public acceptance rates. They don't exist because they are not students at the Boston or New York campus. Just a little game to game the numbers.

wow that is shocking. that anyone would believe this garbage

This person is not an idiot. I worked in College admissions and everyone knows the games or NYU and Northeastern. Look even Emory now has a London program. More will follow.

Can you not read? It was Shanghai. Point proven that NYU is a joke.

The long shadow of Columbia is a hard one to choke on, down in Washington Square Park.

NYU is not a STEM school, less than a quarter of NYU students are STEM.

BU and USC are peer institutions, along with possibly Cal and UCLA (more STEM students but test blind). All are also diverse.

NYU has an up and coming engineering program but agreed that it isn't anywhere near a peer of those schools. But it shouldn't be ignored either.

Stern is fine but not great - Wharton safety (which is not a bad thing). Tisch is top notch.

NYU engineering is what used to be Brooklyn Polytechnic.

What is Brooklyn Poly? It is Brooklyn Tech. Always was. Always will be.

The PP Is confused and definitely isn't from NY...there is no high school known as Brooklyn Poly. The high school is Brooklyn Tech, short for Brooklyn Technical High School. Also it's Stuy with a u in it.

"Brooklyn Poly" in NYC is what used to be Brooklyn Polytechnic Institute which is NOT a high school but a university. It no longer exists because it's now NYU Tandon School of Engineering.

Found out too late that my DS should have gone to an SEC school.

Sarcasm will take you places.

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.

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.

No way you know what you're talking about if you think CMU, or any of those second rate LACs, are better for IB than NYU. Also Columbia has GS which is even worse than NYUs side campuses. Stern is very large and competitive but will send hundreds to IB/PE every year.

The lies told by weirdos are getting more brazen...so you are saying that your child was accepted into a campus, they cashed your check then told you your child is off to a different campus in middle east or europe?

Sure, Jan.

The London program is for Oxford College admits only. Which were never included in the Emory College admissions anyway.

Go on the trading floor of many major firms and look around dumb ass. NYU kids are getting the dry cleaning, and setting up summer rentals for a lot of peers from Navy, Colgate, Fordham, Fairfield. What is reality and what you think are reality don’t match. Stick to your shine box.
