NYU Posts 27.8% Admit Rate for '06
New York University accepted 9,767 of its 35,073 applicants for 2006 admission, according to an article in today's Washington Square News.
NYU's 2006 acceptance rate of 27.8 per cent marks a slight decline from its 2005 rate of 29.4 per cent.
Provost for Admissions and Financial Aid Barbara Hall told the WSN that NYU extended admissions offers to fewer students this year than it did last year, despite the record high volume of applications received. Last year, a higher percentage of admits accepted NYU admissions offers than had in the past, leading to an unusually large Class of 2009. The School is taking a more cautious approach to admissions this year to maintain level enrollment.
Hall also told the WSN that NYU admissions had introduced a new application review policy this year whereby applications from "particularly compelling" applicants receive a third reading before being cut. Hall noted that all applications get read twice, but that "it’s a third read that gives us one more consideration when we make the final decision" in certain cases.
