<p>With the merger finalizing next year, NYU Poly will officially be part of NYU. A rep told my this was the last year you can directly apply to Poly. Here's my question. Will Poly students graduate with the other NYU students? And will Poly students get an NYU diploma?</p>
<p>Yes NYU poly will be NYU school of engineering! And yes this is the last year you apply using the Poly application! Poly students will be graduating with the rest of the NYU students and will get a NYU diploma in the end. </p>

<p>What does this mean for incoming Poly students? Does this mean people accepted into Poly will actually be NYU students?</p>
<p>Yes incoming Poly students are NYU students so if you got accepted, welcome to NYU class of 2017 :). </p>
<p>Admissions this year got really tough! Next year , it will be expected just as tough or even harder since more worthy students will be applying.</p>
<p>Actually, this is incorrect. I went on a tour and a student asked the tour guide same question. Here’s the gist of it: 2017 students and 2018 students will be split. </p>
<p>Class of 2017 (and any year prior, i.e current and next year’s students) will apply using NYU-Poly’s common application. These students will be considered strictly NYU-Poly students with current merger benefits, such as access to NYU’s main library and ability to take liberal arts course at NYU’s main campus. They will hold their own graduation and will receive NYU-Poly diplomas.</p>
<p>Class of 2018 (and any year after) will apply using NYU’s application and will be considered NYU students with complete access to all of NYU’s resources. Admissions based on SAT is projected to increase by 250 points to be on par with NYU CAS. They will receive NYU diplomas at the end. </p>
<p>These were some of the final steps to complete the merger. So even though you might be taking courses with class of 2018 students, NYU will consider you part of a different school.</p>
<p>Really? They didn’t tell our group that. They told us about the merge and everyone will receive NYU degrees. And SAT scores were already projected on level to CAS… Average admitted is around 1330 CR+ M and I saw stats for other NYU schools and it was around 1350.</p>
<p>The increase in SAT is probably over a period of time, not immediate. And NYU looks at writing too, so your data is skewed. Poly placed heavy emphasis on the Math section of SAT and now most of the increase will come from Reading and Writing. When they tell you NYU degree, they are playing with the wording. They consider an NYU-Poly degree an NYU degree and an NYU-Poly diploma an NYU diploma, even though the look completely different. Confusing, I know.</p>
<p>They told me we are getting NYU degree … polytechnic school of engineering in BS -insert major-. I don’t know anymore but like i did made sure to ask if it was either NYU-Poly degree or NYU degree and they told me NYU degree. lol Also, even though poly emphasize the math section more, they also look at your reading and writing scores too but doesn’t carry as much weight. That happens to most if not all engineering schools/ programs…</p>
<p>and yes increased SAT score since the time NYU bought Poly. Their tuition is also going up so that both SAT scores, tuition is projected to NYU’s.</p>
<p>But then i don’t think it matters where you get your degree… NYU engineering degree isn’t going to be better than a poly degree when it’s the same school.</p>
<p>Umm, no. After the merger, all Poly students are NYU students and anyone graduating afterwards will be awarded an NYU degree. This has been clearly stated by the president himself several times. It will be impossible to receive an NYU-Poly degree because the school won’t exist anymore after the legal consolidation. And every school of NYU holds separate graduations, with access to the main NYU graduation as well.</p>

<p>“The Polytechnic Institute of New York University (NYU-Poly) has been ranked third among all schools in the nation in PayScale’s 2013 College ROI Report, which links the cost of attending over 1,000 colleges to median alumni salaries. The small engineering and applied sciences school in Brooklyn, New York, regularly lists among PayScale’s top ten schools for the mid-career salary potential of baccalaureate alumni.”</p>
