Do you attend NYU? Are you currently a student? The students of NYU know approximately which schools are in which order. We know Abu Dhabi is at the top, followed by Tisch and Stern followed by CAS and Gallatin. How do we know this? Because we’re given information in speeches and emails giving us SAT scores and acceptance rates, etc. So if you can prove that I’m wrong, go ahead. But you’ll have to prove that most NYU students are wrong in their rankings of their own school.

Also to claim NYU isn’t transfer friendly? Highly inaccurate. Look at NYU’s retention rate compared to other top schools. It’s low. Students are allowed to transfer into NYU based on the freshmen yield rate and retention rate. NYU has a relatively high yield but low retention. The low retention leaves room for plenty of transfers as a 92% ret. rate at NYU provides roughly 1,200 open spots not figuring in yield. Compare that to, for example, most of the other top schools who have a typically higher retention rate meaning less open slots for transfer students.
