My roommate is a NYU graduate. I will ask him for some of the criteria.

But, just from what I know, I would say you would have to study really hard. So get cracking...

NYU...NYC..Dont rub it in!!

Yeah..I told my Dad Id go to NYU just to LIVE in NYC. Ugh...

Okay folks, as promised I asked my roommate the NYU grad, and he suggested going to the New York University website (www.nyu.edu) for some in depth details about admission.

Good luck, young go-getters...

I'll tell you this, it is a fantastic University. I myself, have gone to NYU.(Although I didn't graduate.

) It is a very difficult school to get into, but if you have the grades, it is well worth it. I'm thinking about going back to take a couple of courses myself.

thanks you all soo much. I am amking like a B average right now. Is that too low? What kind of average do I need. i tried to find it on the site butI couldn't.

Brian Damage · 10-09-2002, 05:02 PM

This may sound weird, but is it a high B or a low B? SAT scores also play a part of getting accepted.

no that doesn't sound weird. here I'll tell you the averages from my last report card...
93 A-
88 B
89 B
86 B

i'm pretty sure those were the grades. We only have 4 classes a semester and we are getting a new report card soon.

Brian Damage · 10-09-2002, 07:05 PM

Those grades will definitely help you to get in.

Rockapella722 · 10-09-2002, 07:07 PM

My future is BLEAK. Very bleak...

UGH!!!

wahoo! If you don't mind me asking, what kind of grades did u have?

Brian Damage · 10-10-2002, 06:54 PM

I had about the same grades as you, maybe I had another A thrown in there. If those grades have been consistent your entire high school career, you shouldn't have that much of a problem getting accepted.

NYU is SO political. My friend got straight A's, got a 1400 and something on his SATs and his VERY talented (auditioned for the Tisch school) yet STILL didn't get into the academic or Tisch. It's all about who you are, not always your talent or hard work. Sad to say, but true. Obviously not in all cases, but for the most part, it's who you know or social status. I'd still apply though, but I think the hype of NYU is just that -- a hype. If the school weren't in the dead of Manhattan, it would be out of business.

Of course, that's just my opinion from what I've viewed. Schools are very subjective anyway... there isn't a single school that everybody LOVES or everybody HATES. You're always gonna get 50/50 no matter what school it is. It's about you and your preferences. So, if you want it, go for it! You have just as good a shot as everyone else! Good luck! :-D

Oh, yes... and if you ARE applying there, you don't have any shot if you get grades lower than B's. Just know even if you get straight A's, it's still a highly competitive school. I wish you the best of luck though! :-D
