<p>Perhaps a good note for those applying from a communtiy college to any of the schools at NYU:</p>

What kind of school should I attend if I would like to transfer to NYU?</p>

<p>Every year, New York University admits transfer students from a variety of colleges and universities. Please be advised that our committee will be evaluating your course selection and performance at other academic institutions. We will not be evaluating the school that you chose to attend.

<p>I did not know this. I'm not sure if I believe it or not.</p>

<p>I just read that NYU has near 40,000 students in attendance currently.</p>

3

<p>Something like that...but only 20,000 are undergrads. Compare that to UT's 35,000 undergrads or A&M's 36,000 and there's a big difference.</p>

4

<p>Yup, as the saying goes: "everything is bigger in texas."</p>

5

<p>yeah which is exactly why I really don't want to go to UT. I tell people and they argue that NYU is just as big, but when you're talking about what matters (size of undergrad class), it's nearly half the size.</p>

6

<p>Both UT-Austin and A&M-College Station made USNews.com: best national universities with the likes of other ivies. To be exact UT Austin ranked 47th and A&M ranked 60th...not too shabby.</p>

<p>NYU receives several over-qualified applications. In the end of the process, they will consider what school you are coming from.</p>

<p>I imagine....</p>

<p>Not at all. I still think UT should continue its way up the ranks, especially as it seems the law school will be improving over the next few years and it's already quite good. </p>

<p>I hate to admit it, but A&M really is a good school. However, it'll never be as good as UT. NEVER. EVER!</p>

<p>I believe UT's total student population hovers around 50 to 60 thousand, which is appalling. Georgetown has around 6,000 undergrads, and I love the private school feeling here:D</p>

<p>It might be improving, but there is no way it's rank will increase significantly, if at all. The top 14 schools are pretty well entrenched in their spots.</p>

<p>It really is. At least that has been enough to make my parents more than willing to help me with loans for a private school that is twice as much. Add to the population the fact that so much revolves around frats, drinking, and 6th street, and the folks are practically forcing me to go somewhere else.</p>

<p>I heard they got the guy that put NYU Law School into the T6. It'll be interesting to see what he can do for UT.</p>

12

<p>The problem is that the top 14 is already full of good schools, such that displacing them will be difficult.</p>

13

<p>Good point...</p>

<p>I keep hearing Stanford is going to drop but I highly doubt it'll be more than 10 places.</p>

14

<p>I doubt that UT-Austins student pop. will hit 50 to 60k. Each school sets a limit to how many applicants can be accepted a year. Also note their 40k population inc. undergrads and graduate students. Moreso UT's resources are not able to accomodate such large numbers of applicants i.e. through dorms arrangements and other services.</p>

15

<p>I'm pretty sure the total school population is already at around 50k. And yes, dorms definitely cannot handle many more students, but 80% live off campus anyways nearby.</p>

<p>There is no chance they are going out the top three, and they are arguably on par with HLS. CCN are simply not as good as Stanford, anyways.</p>

17

<p>Haha the 10 places thing was a joke, just in case. </p>

<p>So where are you applying?</p>

18

<p>Hey if Boston can handle all their student population...I believe Austin should not have a problem as well then.</p>

<p>Boston is significantly bigger (and better).</p>

<p>Also, Boston proper does not have that many universities. Harvard and MIT are in Cambridge, and BC is far from downtown.</p>
