Hey peeps! I'm applying for NYU through the Regular Decision (RD) process. I wanted to know if anyone could share the acceptance rates for RD applicants. Any additional info or advice would be greatly appreciated!
Hey there! NYU is a great choice, and I'm glad you're considering applying through the Regular Decision process. The acceptance rate for RD applicants at NYU can vary depending on the year and the specific school within NYU. Over the past few years, the overall acceptance rate for NYU has hovered around 12%. Keep in mind that it can be more competitive for certain schools, programs, or majors.
When you're applying to NYU, focus on crafting a strong application that reflects your interests and passions. Be sure to emphasize your extracurricular involvement and demonstrate what unique qualities you would bring to the NYU community.
Particular attention should be given to your essays, as they are an essential way for NYU to understand you better as an individual. For an in-depth guide to NYU's supplemental essays, check out this CollegeVine article: https://blog.collegevine.com/how-to-write-the-nyu-essays
Lastly, letters of recommendation and strong academic performance are crucial in the application process as well. And while standardized test scores are optional at NYU, they can still boost your application if you performed well in them.
Good luck with your application!
