<p>Combination of NYU’s ramping up their marketing machine and genuine improvements made to many academic departments like Philosophy which is ranked #1 for grad after they poached several bigname Profs from elite institutions worldwide. Stunning considering how back in my high school days…it was easier to get into NYU CAS or even Stern than it was to get into Binghamton…the top SUNY back then. </p>
<p>Only thing which remained the same from my high school days is the miserly levels of FA/scholarship money and judging by what I heard from recent NYU grads the bureaucracy.</p>

<p>Back in high school…all I knew was that it was an LAC for more mainstream artsy kids who couldn’t get into Vassar.</p>
