Doubtful you are going to get housing for four years at NYU. So be ready to rent an apartment in NYC, which is a big problem if you aren't rich and do not want to live in a slum.

It depends on colleges but highly selective for Stern, CAS, and Tish.

Stern and CAS had 7% acceptance rate last year.


Do they separate out the acceptance rate by school somewhere, because it was my understanding that they don't include 25% of the freshman class in the reported stats.

I would think it depends on the major. If you are on the fence about it, I wouldn't do it. That's a lot of money for, "I'm not 100% sold".

US News is more accurate now than in the past.


There is no such thing as accuracy in ranking colleges, hundreds of which are equally great. You people are lost.

Most undergrads in the T100 are good. But I'm only willing to pay 300k for a name brand with strong ascending reputation. Is that NYU? That's what I'm asking.


You are an idiot.

No, it give more points to schools with more poorer students.
That's not accurate and a way to evaluate schools.

I don't care if students are poor or rich. I care quality of the students.



Define "quality of the students". If you mean high stats, the top universities don't only take students with the highest stats. Otherwise, my very high stats kid would be at a T10, but instead, DC is at a state flagship (and they are happy there).


I agree, so schools should be color blind and wealthy blind in selecting students.
So those should not be used in school evaluation.

NYU is still a good brand name and will remain as such.

Highest achieving kids are not always wealthy. If you want your kid with the highest achieving peers in college, then the new system makes sense.

Some people are snobs.

Other than WashU, the other top schools didn't drop much.

OP, if money is at all an object, I would look for other alternatives. If DC really wants to be in NYC, perhaps subsidize summer internships.
