Hello, looking at NYU as one of my top future choices for college. Curious about how many applicants actually get accepted. So, what's the acceptance rate for NYU? Thanks in advance!
New York University (NYU) is generally known as a highly competitive institution. It's a highly sought-after school, which is reflected in its acceptance rate. For the 2023-2024 application cycle, NYU had an acceptance rate of around 10%.
To help you understand what this rate means, an acceptance rate of 10% means that for every 100 students who apply, only 10 students are accepted.
That said, keep in mind that these numbers are averages and the actual acceptance rate can vary a bit from year to year. It's also worth noting that the acceptance rate can differ for specific schools within NYU, such as Stern School of Business or Tisch School of the Arts, which may have more competitive application pools.
The acceptance rate reflects the selectivity of the school, so yes, getting into NYU is fairly competitive. But remember, your fit with the school, your application strength (including your academic performance, extracurricular activities, and essays), among other factors, will ultimately determine your chances of getting accepted. Good luck!
