# out of colleges in US

<p>so i am thinking really going to nyu. but im wondering what number does it fall under in the top universities.?!</p>

<p>If you're going by rankings, it varies. I think that U.S News & World Report ranks NYU at 35 or so; NYU is also in the top 5 dream schools in the country. Rankings also change depending on which school you apply to (e.g Stern is ranked very highly; if you're going into film, Tisch has one of the best programs in the country). Some NYU students believe the college should be ranked higher, but one reason it isn't is because of the student to faculty ratio.</p>

<p>The truth is, rankings don't make a difference. Don't apply because you're looking for the school with the highest ranking or something.</p>

<p>i am most definitely not applying because of the rank. i was just curious. i want to major in Biology and eventually go on the medical school. is it very hard to get in like that?</p>
