[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How can NYU be so low?  It has like a bajillion students.[/quote]

Why would you think it would get more than 44?  It seems to be ballpark for where I would expect given it does not sponsor.[/quote]

Schools like Emory, NEU, Georgia Tech, Tufts have considerably more.  It just seems that given how large the enrollment is it would have more.[/quote]

NYU had 44 and did not sponsor any.  Emory had 67 but it sponsored 54 of them.  Tufts had 63 but it sponsored 54.  NEU had 97 but it sponsored 78.  Sponsored = gave additional money.

Georgia Tech is the outlier.  It had 90 and did not sponsor any.

What is the downside of sponsoring them?  It seems like a win-win, the school gets a dynamite student, and the student saves some money.[/quote]

Some schools outright buy these NMF because otherwise they wouldn't put foot in there and go to colleges where studentbody is of tgeir own caliber.[/quote]
