How competitive is it to get into NYU-CAS?

When guessing a number that you don’t have an exact statistic for anywhere, being 4% off is quite accurate. And yes, it says spring. But note however it doesn’t say spring transfer. Meaning that the following year’s incoming freshmen acceptance rate overall is 24% since that’s not fully calculated until spring. If they had specifically meant spring transfers, they would have said so. Also quoting SAT scores if you’re talking about transfers doesn’t make sense, as transfers don’t have to submit them. And if the acceptance rate is expected to drop again, as it has been doing consistently every year almost, I would expect a 22% or lower acceptance rate for CAS. Stop nitpicking small differences. The OP asked how competitive it is. I gave him an around 20% acceptance rate for this upcoming cycle. Being 2% off assuming trend continues isn’t a bad approximation considering the number I was basing it off of was the 26% college wide acceptance rate, w/o LSP.
