[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m from NY and many kids went to NYU. I went to NYU for grad school and had tons of international kids, kids from the west coast and Northeast.

Is it just unpopular from around here?[/quote]

Yes, it is popular here in CA. My son was admitted ED.

My guess about the DMV hostility here is that it is not an elite STEM school and a lot of people who post here prioritize STEM.  If my kid were STEM, I would have preferred a public as well like a UC or Cal Poly instead if not admitted to a T20-25.

NYU is open about being a diverse, international urban school that is TO.  There is a higher percentage of internationals at NYU than domestic white students  All of this may not play well with DMV people who want a more controlled, traditional campus in a less challenging setting with an emphasis on high performing kids like theirs.

NYU has an eclectic social sciences and humanities curriculum with students able to flexibly develop their majors in addition the elite Tisch and Stern programs.

NYU is polarizing, some love it, some hate it.  It depends on what is best for your kid.
