This is probably a long shot, but I would appreciate any insider info on the University of New York's acceptance rate. Is it very competitive to get into? Looking to get a general idea before I start my application process.
Based on your question, it seems there may be some confusion. There's no institution specifically called the "University of New York." However, there is a large system known as the State University of New York (SUNY), which comprises many different colleges and universities each with its own unique acceptance rates and admission criteria.
For instance, SUNY Binghamton, one of the more competitive campuses within the system, has an acceptance rate of approximately 37%. Conversely, SUNY Plattsburgh has a higher acceptance rate of around 70%, indicating it's less competitive.
Another university you might be referring to could be the City University of New York (CUNY), which is another system of public colleges within New York City, again each with their own distinct acceptance rates.
My suggestion would be to identify the specific campuses you're interested in, whether from SUNY or CUNY, then you can look up those school's acceptance rates individually. The application process, selectivity, and competitiveness can vary greatly between institutions in these systems.
