<p>I was just wondering what the difference between NYU's engineering program and NYU-POLY was. Which has better programs? I am just a little confused on the matter.</p>
<p>If you’re going to major in engineering at NYU, they will put you in their NYU poly campus. NYU poly is the engineering school at NYU.</p>
<p>I’m still a little confused though, because I got something in the mail from The Polytechnic Institute of New York University telling me I have been selected as a Dean’s Applicant, waiving the application fee. The whole thing just confused me a bit. Is this engineering school prestigious? Thanks</p>
<p>PINYU or NYU Poly is a separate (engineering-focused) college that is in the process of merging into NYU (which does not have engineering “natively”, although it now has a 3+2 program with PINYU).</p>
<p>For engineering, PINYU is not “prestigious” the way that schools like MIT, Stanford, Berkeley, Georgia Tech, Illinois, Michigan, Purdue, Virginia Tech, etc. (or even Stony Brook or Buffalo) are, though any ABET-accredited engineering degree program it has should be of decent quality.</p>
<p>Where did you see top 50 for engineering undergraduate?</p>
<p>[Polytechnic</a> Institute of New York University | Overall Rankings | Best College | US News](<a href=“http://colleges.usnews.rankingsandreviews.com/best-colleges/polytechnic-institute-of-new-york-university-194541/overall-rankings]Polytechnic”>http://colleges.usnews.rankingsandreviews.com/best-colleges/polytechnic-institute-of-new-york-university-194541/overall-rankings)</p>
<p>I’m pretty sure its not even in top 100. For graduate school its #67. I remember on last years list it didn’t even break top 50 for engineering.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>When PINYU completes its merger with NYU, will its financial aid become as poor as that of NYU?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p><a href=“http://www.nyu.edu/giving/calltoaction/faq.html[/url]”>Giving to NYU; says that:</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Polytechnic Institute of NYU</p>
<p>Percentage of students whose financial need was fully met: 37%
Average percent of need met: 87%
Average financial aid package: $28,035, of which an average of $15,812 was need-based grant or scholarship aid
Percentage of students who have borrowed: 80%
Average total indebtedness of 2011 graduating class: $30,560</p>
<p>That doesn’t sound like such great financial aid to me, though it is better than the new mother ship, NYU, which meets full need for only 5.8% of its students and on average meets only 59% of need.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>NYU’s poor financial aid means that only students from wealthy (top 1%?) families, and the very few who get the super-reach level merit scholarships, can afford to attend. For the other 99%, there are likely plenty of academically equal or better choices that are much less of a financial burden.</p>
<p>NYU does not have a large endowment to be spending huge amounts of money like you make it sound. NYU is, actually, very poor compared to its peer schools.</p>
<p>It probably doesn’t help it (or its students) that it’s located (and is trying to expand) on some of the most expensive property in the world.</p>
<p>Either way, until NYU gets a respectable endowment per student (or at least doesn’t leave students with an average of 40k in debt) i don’t see it cracking the top 25 (maybe the top 30 if they’re lucky.)</p>
<p>
Polytechnic Institute of NYU is ranked 75th in undergrad engineering according to US News (2012 and 2013). There are 72 other engineering schools better than PINYU after MIT and Stanford.</p>
<p>
Polytech of NYU
2011 acceptance rate: 68.2%
Average GPA: 3.5
SAT 25th-75th range: 1213-1390 (1773-2040)</p>
<p>SUNY Stony Brook
2011 acceptance rate: 39.2%
Average GPA: 3.6
SAT 25th-75th range: 1130-1330 (1660-1970)</p>
<p>PINYU is private with tuition at $39,566 … much more expensive than Stony Brook and other State U’s (instate: $7514; out-of-state: $18134)</p>
<p>If you speak to the folks at NYU you will get a different story. Poly IS their engineering school and a lot of money is being spent on the school and in the downtown Brooklyn area. It is a new merge and there are growing pains. You may want to check out. I recommend looking at where the school is heading not where it has been. </p>
<p>these stats can be interesting but really do not say much, the SAT scores do not ring true at all. I have seen other places that average SAT score is closer to 2040. </p>
<p>NYU Poly’s ranking in salary says a lot.
[Engineering</a> Schools by Salary Potential ? PayScale College Salary Report 2012-13](<a href=“http://www.payscale.com/college-salary-report-2013/engineering-schools]Engineering”>http://www.payscale.com/college-salary-report-2013/engineering-schools)</p>
<p>PINYU is in the high-pay, high-cost-of-living area (more so than the others in that list besides Cooper Union, which also has art majors). That likely increases the pay levels for graduates.</p>
<p>Of course, not considering by major makes the data much less useful. Note that Harvey Mudd, Caltech, and MIT all have science as well as engineering majors, and the latter two also have non-STEM majors (17-20% at MIT). At the bachelor’s degree level, PINYU has only four types of engineering, computer science, and physics, without biology or English majors to drag the average pay level down.</p>
<p>Perhaps because of the better and cheaper programs that can be found elsewhere, NYU Poly seems to draw heavily from its own state. 70% of NYU Poly students are from New York – an in-state figure on par with (or higher than) state flagships.</p>
<p>Perhaps more significantly, it draws extremely disproportionately from the NYC area. 54% of students are from only two boroughs of NYC, and about 60% of students are from NYC. Surrounding counties add an additional ~7%.</p>
<p>
Incorrect. When looking at salary data, only the majors that students select matter – not how many majors are offered.</p>
<p>According to its OIR data, 71% of NYU Poly students are engineering majors. Business and computer science account for an additional ~20%. Very few people choose to attend NYU Poly for the core sciences.</p>
<p>Engineering students at MIT, Carnegie Mellon, Harvey Mudd, and Caltech make up 44%, 24%, 43%, and 41% of the student body, respectively.</p>
<p>It is #25 according to the link you gave.</p>
<p>NYU Polytech is ranked #75 overall in undergrad engineering; not ranked in any specialty.</p>
<p>For grad engineering, NYU Poly is ranked #66 overall, and:</p>
<h1>87 in Chemical</h1>
<h1>95 in Civil</h1>
<h1>54 in Computer</h1>
<h1>75 in Electrical</h1>
<h1>101 in Mechanical</h1>
<p>
</p>
<p>In your link, PINYU has an index of 0.66, whatever that means. The 24 higher ranked schools have higher indices.</p>
<p>
I took it out of the latest USNWR graduate rankings (yeah, I have online subscription). It is not very meaningful but since you asked. You can choose not to believe it though.</p>
<h1>87 Polytechnic Institute of New York University Brooklyn, NY</h1>
<p>2.1 Full-time: $1,194 per credit 1,850 752 $177,478 $10,471,235 3.4%</p>
<p>Hearing that most Poly students are in-staters, the investment in new campus, the merger with NYU, the relatively low USNWR ranking (and who doesn’t take that ranking with a big huge grain of salt??)…makes NYU Poly look like an intriguing “likely” school for D, who is not from NY but really wants to study STEM in the city.</p>
<p>Hmm.</p>
<p>As I see the latest ranking online on USnews in 2013</p>
<h1>57 in Electrical</h1>
<h1>70 in Chemical</h1>
<h1>52 in Computer</h1>
<h1>68 in Civil</h1>
<h1>72 in Mechanical</h1>
<p>Is your online subscription out of date?
