<p>No, actually, the dean said out of the 6200 apps they received, they only sent 500 acceptance letters. I remember this very clearly b/c my parents sat next to me, wrote it down, and told me to calculate the percentage. Two of my friends are going to stern and heard the same thing.</p>

<p>... i trust the college representative</p>

23

<p>Yeah me too.</p>

24

<p>wait, those #s seem sorta wrong though.</p>

<p>Class = 500</p>

<p>I think it is on the website that ED accounts for 30% of the class. </p>

<p>therefore, ED = ~166
RD hopeful matriculating ~ 333</p>

<p>if 1680 were accepted, it means that approximately 1500 students were admitted to fill 333 spots. That's a yield rate of like 22%. </p>

<p>wut.....<em>confused</em></p>

25

<p>Stern received 12 applications for every spot in the freshman class. They accepted approximately 20% of applicants.</p>

26

<p>Before speculating, did any of you guys actually go to the University Day seminar in the morning? If you did, then you can second my statement.</p>

27

<p>I went to Sunday at the Square. The Dean DID say "12 applications for every spot in the class" but for ever spot in the class, they probably admitted 2-3 people.</p>

28

<p>Hold on...so what happens if by some freak accident, 100% of those admitted matriculate?!?!?!!?</p>

<p>Then they'd have 1500 in facilities designed for 500.</p>

29

<p>Dean Blount-Lyon expects a freshman class of approximately 500 students. Last year, the yield rate was around 40%. This year, Stern accepted about 20% of its regular decision applicants.</p>

<p>Bump: NYU’s college representative at my school said NYU Stern’s acceptance rate is in the mid-upper 20s. </p>

<p>…this thread is 8 years old</p>

<p>You guys can find the acceptance rate information on Stern’s website. It is 15% overall including RD and ED. The ED figure would be higher and the RD figure would be lower. </p>
