NYU-Polytechnic merger approved

<p>You can now (well, almost now) receive an engineering degree from NYU. It’s been a 35 year wait.</p>

<p>does this mean that all polytech students are now nyu students??</p>

<p>now the all-important question. how will this affect NYU’s rankings?</p>

<p>hmm, I think overall this will raise NYU’s acceptance rate, but I think it’s good that NYU has an engineerring component.</p>

<p>I’m not sure about NYU but Poly’s president and staff has been very secretive about the outlay of the merger so I guess we’ll all find out the details of everything in July!</p>
