<p>This first came out in March 2011. NYU Overall Admission Rate for: </p>
<p>1) Class of 2014 RD Applicants: 29.2% (11,136 Accepted);</p>
<p>2) Class of 2015 RD Applicants: lower but nothing out officially (just over 8,000 offers to RD applicants); suspected due to higher numbers of applicants who committed to attending NYU via Early Decision (especially with the new EDII option added for Class of 2015).</p>
<p>This is the April 2011 nyulocal.com NYU Admissions statistics cited previously in this forum:
According to the official report from NYU, the NYU admission rate overall for class of 2015 is 33%, with LSP statistics counted for the first time. The overall admission rate would have been 26% without the LSP statistics included.</p>
<p>NYU Admission Statistics 2010-2011
Learn about these stats.</p>
<p>Number of applicants 37,464
NYU acceptance rate 38%
Percent admitted who enrolled 35%</p>
<p>There was a previous discussion on this forum about how College Board appears to need an update on admission rate statistics. This is supported by the discrepancy between the College Board's NYU admission rate of 38% vs. NYU's own official overall admission rates of 29% for the Class of 2014 (without LSP statistics) and 33% (with LSP included) for Class of 2015.</p>
<p>We still do not have a breakdown by schools within NYU. Would be good if someone has some of these numbers. I may go a hunting for more official data (for specific schools) when I get a chance. Unless someone else beats me to it. :)</p>
<p>Collegeboard admissions statistics are at least two years off, yes. For example, 8.9% of applicants were admitted to Columbia for the class of 2014 and 6.9% to the class of 2015, but Collegeboard still says 10%. Similarly, the Harvard admisson rate is listed at 7%, when this year it clocked in at 6.2%. True, it’s not a huge discrepancy in the second case, but the moral of the story, like in everything else, is NEVER TRUST THE COLLEGEBOARD.</p>
<p>superexcited, I am also fairly certain they have no official releases of admission statistics for the various schools within NYU. However, I do believe they have some internal numbers that are not publicized because the Admissions Office directed me to call CAS for its admission rate. Though I wonder if CAS actually gave me the CAS stats or the general NYU admission rate when I was informed the admission rate was 26-28%, supposedly only for CAS last year (Class of 2014). That is close to the overall admission rate of 29% for NYU, as reported by the sources cited above. </p>
<p>As I stated, I wonder why NYU makes it hard to get this info, which seems to be relevant, since they do have different statistics for the various schools within NYU.</p>
<p>Exactly. It is not fair for students who have no idea what their chances are because there is only one lump statistic for so many different undergraduate programs. The students are left even more in the dark about their chances for admission into a specific school.</p>
<p>Vihzel, I gather you are still waiting to hear. The best to you. I saw an article about the 100 most influential people in NY real estate and I thought about you. Did you see it? It was a headliner article in one of the more popular online websites. I might have saved it for you. Not sure if you want to see it or if I can find it now. Let me know if you are interested. I was thinking you should shoot for an internship with one of them regardless of what happens with NYU (hopefully, as a NYU sponsored internship, maybe?).</p>
<p>For what it’s worth, the following is an excerpt from an email to all CAS students yesterday:</p>
<p>“… during his tenure, applications to CAS almost tripled, from 8,000 to 23,000; SAT scores rose from below 1200 to 1424; and the acceptance rate dropped from 70% in 1991 to a record 24% this spring.”</p>
<p>I guess this is CAS’s rate. </p>
<p>Collegeboard is usually way off and should always be taken with a grain of salt – they try to compare apples and oranges – e.g. the overall NYU acceptance rate means something very different from that of a tiny liberal arts college or whatever. Overall, NYU’s hard to get into but obviously some programs are more selective than others and an aggregated acceptance rate doesn’t reflect this.</p>
<p>This publication indicates 7121 applicants for the 2010-11 freshman class (2014) with 23% admission rate and 39% yield. The problem is that these numbers equal to 639 students, but a typical Stern class has 525 students. Thus, these numbers are not accurate. If the yield is correct, the admissions rate is 19%; if the admissions rate is correct, the yield is 32%.</p>
