How competitive is it to get into NYU College of Arts and Sciences? (2019 edition)

Does anyone know the acceptance rate for the NYU College of Arts and Sciences for the Class of 2023?

The admissions office had indicated that the New York campus acceptance rate overall was 16%, down from 35% in 2013. See https://www.nyu.edu/about/news-publications/news/2019/march/Class_of_2023_Admits.html (“In addition to being the most diverse group of students to whom NYU has offered admission, the Class of 2023 is also the most selective to be admitted to the New York campus —16% percent of applicants were offered admission, down from 35% as recently as 2013— and had the highest median SAT score: 1480.”}.

I heard informally (via text message from an admitted student on a revisit) that the acceptance rate to NYU CAS in particular was 9%, which would be a quite remarkable increase in selectivity in a short period of time. In a 2011 thread, the acceptance rate for CAS was cited as 24%. http://talk.qa.collegeconfidential.com/new-york-university/1204646-how-competitive-is-it-to-get-into-nyu-cas.html

I would appreciate any perspectives.

It was indeed 9%! I got this information straight from the Dean of CAS himself (:
