I’m thinking of adding NYU as one of my transfer schools. I’m an engineering student at a top 50 university and NYU seems to have great prestige and high world rankings. I want to do EE. Is it good there at NYU Engineering?
I have a GPA of 3.8 currently.
If it ain’t broke, then don’t “fix it”.
NYU is not an employer favored hunting ground for engineers.
I don’t think that’s true. Google and Facebook came there very recently. I mean it’s NYU! It is 32nd in the world for EE. Do you think I still shouldn’t think about doing so? Is it not prestigious?
oh good heavens…Google recruits everywhere…likely also at your current school.
What are your PARENTS saying about paying SEVENTY thousand per year for NYU??? Most parents would say…uh…no. Stay where you are.
oh wow…

I am intl student (Indian). I go to a top 50 engineering pvt university (NY) because they gave me aid.
However, I want to transfer to Cornell and wish to transfer with aid.

You’re an int’l and you want to transfer to NYU with AID? Good luck with that. It won’t happen.
NYU won’t give you financial aid as a transfer, let alone if you’re international. Same thing at Cornell.
What’s your “top 50” university?
NYU isn’t tops for engineering. It’s probably below Penn State and Lehigh, about at the level of Bucknell (?)
Oh wow. The tuition is pretty high. I just want some more views on the prestige. I just found that they also have the third highest ROI in the US. Is it not as prestigious as it seems
@MYOS1634 how come it is ranked 32 in EE in 2012 and 30th overall in the world for this year then?
@mom2collegekids sorry if I made you mad, ma’am. I just wanted some different opinions. You sound angry. I didn’t want to do that.
FYI

World rankings look at graduate programs, not undergraduate, and their criteria are irrelevant to undergraduates.
Undergrads need to know faculty/student ratio, class size, support services (and is tutoring walk on or by appointment, free or for a fee, as this makes a huge difference), whether undegrads can be involved in meaningful research or not…
Employers do NOT know rankings. They know the tippytop schools in their branch + colleges that are locally strong, but they don’t care where you’re going to school, they care about what YOU did at that school. A student from U Cincinnati with loads of co-op experience will have much better job opportunities than a student from NYU who didn’t intern/work anywhere except a few weeks summer after junior year.
