Hey guys, I'm really interested in applying to New York University through their Early Decision program. What's the acceptance rate for their Early Decision applicants? Is it significantly higher than their regular decision acceptance rate?
Hey there! Yes, NYU's Early Decision acceptance rate is generally higher than their Regular Decision rate. While the acceptance rates can fluctuate from year to year, it's typically seen that Early Decision applicants have an advantage. For instance, in recent years, the Early Decision acceptance rate has ranged between 20%-35%, while the Regular Decision rate has hovered around 15%-20%. Keep in mind, though, that applying Early Decision means you are committing to attend NYU if accepted, so you should be certain that it's your top choice and that it's financially feasible for your family. Good luck with your application!
