We have four separate family friends whose children all piled into the NYU/Northeastern trade. Northeastern admitted three of them. 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.

I’ve learned so much here: NYU, Johns Hopkins, Emory, Boston College, BU, Northeastern, UChicago, Tufts . . . . all terrible.

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

True. Their marketing works. Does not mean it is quality, just means dopes all act in unison with each other.

The ROI is much higher than NYU and they quietly place students at GS, JPM, BA, and private equity firms at a very high rate. Why? Kids are hungry, smart, and know how to work. Don’t be a sucker.

So true. LOL. Blue collar NYU! So much better! Staten Island Tech kids are hungry. The coddled fat dogs at NYU can't compete.

The only peer school to NYU is Northeastern. They both have off-site campuses. They over-admit students at a very high number and then force them to Spain, London, China, Seattle, etc, for a semester. Once trapped, your DC is being taught by a visiting professor to NYU/Northeastern, choose your location, from a second-rate university. The housing is expensive and overcrowded once back on "campus." Your cost will easily be over 100K a year, and you bought into the hype.

Those are the same group of students who maintain NYU's high test scores. Imagine three TJs sending 25% of their students to one place.

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

NYU and prestige do not belong together

So true. When I worked at a bulge bracket firm in NY, we always laughed at Cornell MBAs who had been to Ithaca four times.
