| Why isn't NYU on CC's top universities list?
I thought it was pretty prestigious, especially Stern.
Btw, speaking of Stern, does any one know how difficult it is to get into Stern?
Is there a link where there is info about Stern's student body?
Like avg. gpa? Avg. SAT score? Acceptance rate for Stern?
Thanks in advance.

Well Emory is there and so is like the UCs. I thought that NYU was at least on par with said universities. I could be mistaken though.

Based solely on US News rankings, NYU is ~50, while the top uni's mentioned on CC tend to be 30 and above.

NYU is a really great school, though it isn't quite one of the tippy top elites by many measures. Then again, CC's "top college" list has some colleges I wouldn't put on there.

not on there because luckily CC doesnt have the east coast bias that other organizations have.

NYU, while a great school, is vastly overrated outside of New York I'd say.

Splinter, go to College Search > Common Data Sets (impt. thread) > NYU and you will find some info about Stern's 07 freshman profile.

A great school is where the student will be happy. Trite? Yes. True? Absolutely. I didn't go to NYU but the overwhelming number of alumni are proud they did. Many Ivy grads are proud of their schools but did not necessarily like the experience. Go visit and stay over.

You'll be happy to know that NYU is on my list of noteworthy colleges. If you're applying to NYU, you may want to add some of those other colleges to your application list as back-ups.
