<p>According to Wikipedia's article on "Stern Schol of Business"</p>
<p>it says</p>

The 2006-2007 incoming freshman class has an acceptance rate of only 8.1%, admitting only 500 in an applicant pool of 6200

<p>Wait.. Stern only took 500 students???</p>
<p>Wikipedia can hardly be considered accurate. It has about 2500 undergrads in the school, meaning about 650 freshman. Probably about 1000 or so were accepted. Who knows how many applied?</p>
<p>The matriculation rate at NYU's around 30-something %. So that means they took in 3 times as many candidates as they have spots for. So they probably took in closer to 2000 out of however many. I guess Stern's matriculation is higher so about 1300.</p>
<p>Tepper's 20% and Wharton's probably around 8%, so I'd be surprised if Stern takes in 8%. Stern's an amazing school, but it's not quite at Wharton's level in other things besides finance.</p>
<p>the acceptance letter said they accepted 1 in 12 . . . yay for expedia being right.</p>
<p>petersreid, my letter says nothing about admission rates...where did you get that?</p>
<p>hahahah that is a complete load of crap</p>
<p>its probably some wharton-reject attending stern
trying to make himself feel better</p>
<p>no offence, i'm a wharton-reject-going-to-stern too :)
(and so are many others)</p>
<p>p.s. never trust wikipedia</p>
<p>Umm, I dont think he is lying. I believe in my acceptance letter it said that we had a class of 500-550 out of 6200 applicants.</p>
<p>Exactly, a class of 500something out of 6200. That means that 500-600 will attend but about 1200-1800 were accepted. Therefore, the acceptance rate is between 18-29% while the kids attending from the app pool is about 9%.</p>
<p>the enrollment in Stern 2200 something because last year more people enrolled than they had anticipated. it is supposed to 500 for each year. i think the acceptance rate for NYU as a whole was 28%, Stern must be lower, but I doubt anywhere close to 8%.</p>
<p>This year the Stern School of Business received approximately 6,000 applications. Of these 6,000 about 28% (or around 1,680) were offered admission to achieve our freshmen class goal of 500 students. You are correct that our yield rate (the percentage of students who are offered admission that choose to attend) is approximately 30%.</p>
<p>Does anyone (including the person from admissions) know what the rate was ED?</p>
<p>NYU UGADMISSIONS-30% across the board, or just for stern?</p>
<p>Dang....28% admittance? I thought it was something in the low 20s....and wow....that yield rate is....pretty bad. Why don't more people want to go =(</p>

Financial aid (or lack thereof).</p>
<p>and remember many of the kids that get into Stern also get into Ivies. And don't forget about Wharton. Though there are quite a few people who choose Stern over Ivies.</p>
<p>and plus you don't want too many people attending and becoming a burden on the school. 500 is good</p>
<p>Yes, both our acceptance percentage and our yield rates are comparable across our University colleges. We actually admitted a slightly higher percentage of early decision students, about 30%, and since we have a binding early decision program that yield rate is near 100%.</p>
<p>Also, I think if you guys do some research about other colleges you will learn that a 30% yield rate is actually pretty strong. Why don't we yield more? As you all know better then anyone it's because the type of students who are being admitted to NYU also have many other amazing options for their college enrollment.</p>
<p>I was at the University Day thing early April and the dean did say only 500 out of 6200 received acceptance letters to Stern. Not all 500 will attend, and that's what the waitlist is for. 500/6200 is approximately 8.065%. The guys is rather accurate i guess.</p>
<p>dean trying to make stern look better? lol. Go stern for NYC.</p>
<p>Oh really....no college, not even Harvard, has a 100% matriculation rate. So to assemble a class of 500, a college has to naturally accept more than 500.</p>
