[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My son was interested in NYU and we went for a “tour”. What a waste of time. Entirely outside walking about one square city block. The tour guides basically read the brochure out loud. Not allowed to see the inside of a dorm or even a staged dorm room. We were shown the building from across the street. We went into the library and their propaganda/marketing room to hear someone pitch going to NYU in Chiba or Dubai. 
Incredibly disappointing. In reality, they advertise $0 for families making less than $200k a year. I assume this drives up their applicants and down their acceptance rates. They don’t have EA and their ED rates are only slightly higher than their regular admission.

I don’t know if it’s a world class university for Business anymore but I gathered that they don’t really care if it is or not. They gave the numbers and don’t need to impress you. Apply or not. It’s the name you are paying for.

He’s chosen to apply RD against my own bias and knows it’s a long shot. I don’t see the value in NYU unless you are going for a Fine Arts degree or have a hook.

We visited NYU and loved the vibe. 
Debated between ED to NYU or Emory. 
My kid is attending NYU and doing great.
Got a good financial aid package as well.  [/quote]

Great to hear your kid is doing well.  My DS starts in January and we are naturally a little apprehensive and hoping for the same.

The tour is a farce as previously posted.  We went in fall ‘23 and the guides led us around the neighborhood.  I assume we went into the first floor of the library, but we couldn’t see the books.

My guess is that the tour exists primarily to track demonstrated interest.

If the students who work for the school are any indication, the vibe is good.  We called a number of times to get answers to questions and they were friendly, outgoing and willing to share their personal experiences.  This wasn’t always the case at other schools.
