<p>I didn't realize I had to look up NYU alphabetically. I just assumed I would find it in the top school thread??</p>
<p>Its not a top 20 US News school.</p>
<p>yea but neither is georgetown, uva, umich or ucla.</p>
<p>i do think nyu should be up there but only for convenience purposes..alot of people access the nyu thread</p>
<p>It's not a top 25 school.</p>
<p>"It's not a top 25 school"</p>
<p>--- according to which bible? </p>
<p>...and nyu's law school, philosophy department, film and business programs are "top schools" IF you're going to use that US News and Ranks Book as anything official to live by</p>
<p>The most common reason I hear is that NYU doesn't have enough money and doesn't give out enough aid - dunno whether that's true or whether it's "the" reason or not. </p>
<p>I agree with miche - take a look at the US News Grad School rankings and you'll find NYU continuously ranked highly:</p>
<h1>13 Business (#3 Finance)</h1>
<h1>4 Law</h1>
<h1>11 Education</h1>
<h1>1 Applied Math</h1>
<p>To name a few.</p>
<p>But I don't guess the CC top 20 schools are referring to grad school and I think they base a lot off of peer review rankings.</p>
<p>drama is pretty high up there too</p>
<p>Yeah I couldn't find Tisch for some reason, but I think there's little reason to think that it wouldn't be in the top 3.</p>
<p>i know it's at least top 5</p>
<p>Economics would definitely be in the top 10, and political science in the top 15-20.</p>
<p>i think econ is number ten, and politics 20...also, international relations is in the top ten, i think...</p>
<p>philosophy #1</p>
<p>the main problem is not the financial aid (althought that comes in a close 2nd and part of the reason for the main problem) is its horribly low retention rate of 90%. Most top 25 schools have 98-99% retention rates from freshmen to sophmore year. the retention rate kills nyu in the rating system</p>
