What's the acceptance rate for NYU's Early Decision 2?

I'm thinking about applying to NYU via Early Decision 2 and am curious about how competitive it is. Does anyone know the acceptance rate for ED2 at NYU, and if it's a good idea to apply?

NYU doesn't publicly release their Early Decision II acceptance rate separately from their overall Early Decision acceptance rate. Typically, the Early Decision acceptance rate is higher than the Regular Decision rate, but it also includes a self-selected pool of very strong, highly interested candidates. It's important to remember that applying Early Decision to any school implies that it's your top choice and you're committed to attending if admitted.

As for whether it's a good idea to apply ED II, it depends on your personal situation. If NYU is your top choice and you're comfortable with its financial aspects (since ED is binding and you're agreeing to attend if admitted), applying ED II can demonstrate your commitment to the school. It also gives you the advantage of a smaller, more focused applicant pool.

However, if financial aid is a significant concern for you, or if there are other schools you'd equally consider attending, Regular Decision might be a better path. That way, you'll have the ability to compare financial aid packages from multiple institutions.

Try to be confident about your choice and consider all factors (including academic fit, financial considerations, and personal preferences) before making a decision. Good luck with your application!
