I have no NYU specific information but my son has been studying Meisner method this year at Rutgers Mason Gross as a BFA Acting student. He was shocked by the dramatic improvement in his acting skills over this past year. He just he recently watched taped monologues from his college auditions versus current ones and that brought it home. He has definitely found Meisner very challenging and intense and exhausting at times. He says he is very grateful and happy that he will get extensive Meisner training at Rutgers (which you would too at NYU Meisner) as opposed to several classes with a little bit of several different methods (toolbox) that he might have gotten elsewhere. He feels strongly about that. He is a very instinctual, improv-y actor, and before college his training and approach was more Adler-like. So his personal toolbox is expanding any way I gather. This seems to be so personal to each actor - ultimately you draw on what you find useful in your work. Good luck and congratulations to you!
