i wouldn’t choose NYU but it’s just my personal preference. I don’t like schools with no campus (why BU also went off the list). But I think it’s a good school. Some good students and some okay students got in last year from my school but they were all full-pay intls so I don’t know… It has a great reputation abroad though and it’s a dream school for many kids.



If you’re talking overall undergrad reputation, that must be very recent. From chatting with relatives abroad and my own travels, the great reputation NYU had were mainly concentrated in the professional schools and some graduate departments such as Applied Math, History, biology, and more.

Undergrad reputation was more hit-or-miss unless you went to Stern or Tisch…and even then, I kept hearing how some friends’ overseas relatives badgered them on why they didn’t get into Wharton or why didn’t they get more FA/scholarship money to cover NYU’s high tuition. :(
