What's the acceptance rate for the University of New York?

I'm in the process of picking my colleges, and the University of New York might be a potential choice. Does anyone have an idea what their acceptance rate is? And, what sort of applicant profile do they seem to favor?

I believe there might be some confusion in your question as there isn't a "University of New York." You might be thinking of New York University (NYU), the State University of New York (SUNY) system which includes 64 different campuses throughout the state, or even the City University of New York (CUNY) which comprises 25 colleges within New York City.

Assuming you're referring to NYU, as of the last available data, their acceptance rate is roughly 12%, making the school quite competitive. However, you'd likely have to have a strong academic profile, with your GPA, and class rank falling into the top percentage of your class to be a strong contender. Good extracurriculars and a compelling essay will help as well.

Of course, every single applicant is unique and the admissions decisions can often come to factors beyond just numbers. A rule of thumb here is to differentiate yourself from other applicants whether through your unique experiences, insights or achievements that align with NYU's values. Please do specify if you meant another university, and I'd be more than happy to provide tailored advice!
