How competitive is it to get into NYU-CAS?

No, I’m stating that the SAT score, applications and acceptance rate are all statements pertaining to the same time period. E.g. SAT scores and # of applications rose X and Y amounts from T1 to T2. It would therefore be inferred using logic that the acceptance rate is also referring to an overall incoming freshmen student body, as it is not indicated otherwise. Unless otherwise indicated, as pertains to the rules of english, it has to be referring to the same time period. Since, the rules of english state that if you’re going to change any facts, names, references, etc.

Tisch is widely considered the #1 or #2 art school in the country. Thus, it has a low acceptance rate. Stern is considered to be in the top 10 or so B schools in the country, thus a low acceptance rate. CAS has some very excellent programs usually regarded in the 20’s to the #1 for in the country, it can then be concluded then that… it is also has a low acceptance rate. Also, let’s do some math. If CAS, Stern, Tisch and Abu Dhabi all have lower acceptance rates than the NYU overall acceptance rate of 26%, then that means that the other schools, Steinhardt, Gallatin, SCPS, Silver and College of Nursing would inherently HAVE to be higher since CAS makes up 1/3 of the entire undergraduate college. Meaning CAS + Tisch + Stern makes up a little under 1/2 of the undergraduate college body. The other half of the college body is contained within Steinhardt, Gallatin, SCPS, Silver and C of N. Which means to correctly weight the acceptance rate to come out to an acceptance rate that is greater than the CAS acceptance, which is greater than the A.D., Stern and Tisch acceptance rates, the other schools would have to have greater acceptance rates. Since you can’t say CAS + Stern + Tisch + A.D. can equal a 26% average.

So since your continued posting fails to provide any reasoning as to how other colleges have lower acceptance rates than CAS, since to say contrary is to say that the averages won’t add up and nor does your posting contribute to the OP’s original question, please stop arguing. You’ll see in many places on the NYU CC forms that individual CAS acceptance rates have been discussed and that CAS typically comes in 4th for selectivity as thought by most students and parents of students as far as SAT scores, GPA and acceptance rates are concerned.
