“President Andrew Hamilton announced that NYU received 75,037 applications for first-year admission to the Class of 2022 — the most applicants received by any private university in the United States, according to an NYU press release. This record reflects a 12 percent increase from last year’s 67,232 applications. The number of Early Decision I applications increased by 26 percent, and Early Decision II also increased by 22 percent.” …
Assuming they will accept the same # students as they did last year, their acceptance rate will fall from 29% to 26%, which is a big drop.
They stated on their website that they accepted 27% for the class of 2021.
Oh, then this year’s accept rate should go down by 2-3pp.
Is there a breakdown for applications for all of the NYU schools? I would be interested to know the numbers of students that applied specifically to the NY campus.
good point @Asil65 . NYU has a gabillion campuses around the world (rough estimate) :))
And sadly I’m not someone who fully trusts NYU’s information on anything, because their NPC is notoriously off (encouraging people to apply who may never be able to afford it). And they offer crappy FA – to pay for the massive expenditures on excessive numbers of buildings and campuses. I’m really not sure what people get from going to NYU, personally.
NYU doesn’t seem to release the application breakdown for individual colleges. The number above is the average of colleges at NYC campus, excluding other campuses in the globe. I expect this year’s number should be somewhere around 25%.
The reason, I believe, why # of applications for NYU has seen such a sharp upward trend in the past few years is because of its global presence and the notion that NYC would offer more job/internship opportunities. Just a personal thought.
does anyone know whether they will be accepting people from the waitlist?
@patronyork I can tell you from being at Weekend on the Square, CAS acceptance rate was 13% and was 19% overall for NYU
Wow. Does that CAS acceptance rate include Liberal Studies, or is that in its own category? (My sense was that LS admissions was easier, but it is part of CAS.)
LSP and GLS are not a part of CAS. They are a separate programme that lasts only 2 years and at the completion of it, will result in the students being transferred into CAS. So no, the 13% doesn’t include that.
GLS is a 4 year program as well as an actual major, however it is my understanding you can double major. LSP is a 2 year program. GLS allow the students to transfer out after their core classes are completed (after sophomore year) or continue with GLS degree and/ or double degree.
