<p>neethus: plasma99 is right. You don’t know anything about NYU, do you? There are 14 schools, not just CAS and Stern.</p>
<p>TheAJay: Where have you heard “bad things” about NYU CAS? The cesspool that is CC?</p>
<p>Collegeboard’s stats are often wrong and/or outdated. I’ve found that what they have listed is a year delayed. I.e., the 32% you see is from Fall 2007. Here’s what NYU’s admissions department says.</p>
<p>[NYU</a> > Undergraduate Admissions > Explore NYU > Fast Facts](<a href=“http://admissions.nyu.edu/explore.nyu/fast.facts.html]NYU”>Undergraduate Admissions)</p>
<p>Most significantly, “Percent offered admission: 25.3%”</p>
<p>To break it down, CAS’s acceptance rate: 24%. Stern’s?: 21%. Three percent difference. And according to some of you people, getting into CAS is a joke while Stern’s like getting into an Ivy? C’mon. If anything, some of the other schools (Tisch and Steinhardt most likely) are what “skew” with the data, as Steinhardt is the least selective, and Tisch is all based on your portfolio or auditions. If it were just for CAS and Stern, the SAT 25-75 ranges and acceptance rates would probably be on par with or just below the Ivy caliber schools.</p>
<p>I agree that WUSTL is highly underrated and probably offers a better undergraduate education than NYU. And it is definitely more selective. But Rice is debatable and BC is on par with NYU at best. And I’m trying to be as unbiased as possible here. </p>
<p>Acceptance rates and SAT ranges are only a small part of the picture…</p>
