Yes there are many changes being done at this time because of the merger process and will be complete within next year and if you look up some professors, they are very highly respected. My friend who goes there has professors educated at Oxford and other highly regarded universities. No I do not work at Poly nor do I attend Poly. I just know alot about Poly because I have some friends that go there and I have a family member working at NYU and knows about these things.

Poly is not like any other college/ university you ever seen. Before the afilliation like many years ago, the engineering courses are still very tough since they want to prepare you better for the workforce. The reason why the rankings were low was because they previously took in kids that can’t handle the intense work and therefore many people either transferred or dropped out and became unpopular… now fast foward to now, more worthy kids are applying and the school is taking in kids who can handle the work! It’s still very tough and my friends are are struggle there still but in the end its worth it. Now with the merger, the NYU’s English standards (which are very solid) are now used by all NYU kids which makes Poly even tougher than it is! With this merger, Poly are getting more opportunities as well and eventually graduating with an NYU degree (school of engineering). You can take full minors at other NYU schools. NYU’s CUSP is opening across from poly in the Fall 2013. check it out!
