Hey everyone! I'm really interested in applying to NYU and majoring in economics. Does anyone have any information on the acceptance rate for the economics program specifically? Thanks in advance!
Hey! While I can't provide you with the exact acceptance rate specifically for the economics program at NYU, I can tell you that NYU as a whole has an acceptance rate of around 12%. However, it's important to note that acceptance rates can vary between different schools and programs within the University.
NYU's economics program falls under the College of Arts and Science (CAS), which has been increasingly more competitive in recent years (with acceptance rates sometimes reaching as low as 4%).
With that said, keep in mind that your admission chances depend on various factors, such as your academic performance, extracurricular activities, essays, and recommendations. So, it's crucial to present a strong application that highlights your strengths and achievements.
I suggest you visit the NYU economics department website and reach out to their admissions team to get more detailed information about the program's admission statistics and factors they generally look for in successful candidates for the economics major. Good luck with your application!
