How competitive is it to get into NYU-CAS?

<p>Question: Can you at all disprove the 24% acceptance? Does it mathematically matter if the yield is 37%, 38%, or 39%? No, because the difference isn’t a significant enough amount to matter. All three numbers are essentially 1/4 the CAS class size. So, unless you have any evidence to disprove the 24% acceptance AND the number of applications AND the yield AND the size of CAS AND well math in general since the # of apps, w/ accept rate w/ yield rate = 1/4 the CAS class size. Then just face the fact that you’ve been proven wrong because further argumentation on the point is pointless in your favor. The acceptance rate is 24%. You have not provided contrary evidence. You haven’t shown that the math is wrong. All you have done is argue numbers that I have consistently shown ARE in fact the CAS acceptance rate. So, your further input isn’t needed. The OP’s question has been answered.</p>

<p>The acceptance rate could be as low as 20% and as high as 28% and it would still be essentially 1/4th of the class. That’s a horrible criteria, because it’s very rare that a freshman class is exactly 1/4th of the total undergrad size - we had issues with an overly large year for incoming froshies 2, maybe 3 years ago. I don’t need to present contrary evidence, simply point out the fact that your “proof” is iffy at best. You’re right that it’s pointless for me to argue, because you don’t seem to be receptive to any logic whatsoever. Every time I refute one of your premises you simply conjure another one.</p>

<p>It doesn’t really affect me that you’re being stubborn. When you get duped by language precisely like this when it actually matters, you’ll realize that the real world and real use of language doesn’t jive with your fantastical “rules of english”.</p>
