NYU Computer science is higher ranked than both BU and UCSD… NYU Comp is ranked #26 by USNEWS. NYU-Poly engineering degree has better profile and earning potential( ranked#4). NYU Poly has lower graduate engineering rank by USNEWS, but very soon that will change. And yes, NYU is way more elite than BU and UCSD. I know that BU has a beautiful campus.

Some facts about NYU’s Polytechnic Institute:

NYU-Poly was one of the first universities to introduce a cyber security program, and is designated as both a Center of Academic Excellence in Information Assurance Education and a Center of Academic Excellence in Research by the National Security Agency. Polytechnic is the first school in New York City to receive the designation Center of Excellence in Information Assurance Education by the U.S. National Security Agency.

NYU-Poly counts National Academy of Engineering founders, members and National Inventors Hall of Fame inductees among its faculty and alumni. Current and former presidents of major professional societies, including the American Chemical Society, American Society of Civil Engineers and the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), are alumni.

Peter Staeker, the current Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) president-elect, is an NYU-Poly alumnus. Andrew Herrmann, the current president of the American Society of Civil Engineers(ASCE) is an NYU-Poly alumnus.

Many Fortune 500 companies are currently being headed by NYU-Poly alumni, including Yahoo!, Lockheed Martin, Xerox, and AECOM.

The electrical engineering department at NYU-Poly has fifteen IEEE Fellows, which is more than the number of IEEE Fellows RPI’s electrical engineering department and is on a par with Columbia University’s electrical engineering department
