Admissions Megathread [Megathread] Prospective Students, Applications, and Admissions For October 2026

3 Upvotes

Dear prospective students,

We appreciate your interest in NYU! Feel free to ask questions about the school and the application process in this weekly post!

Do take advice about your chances of admission with a grain of salt:

  • An application is a holistic process and we can’t see everything you submit.
  • We don’t actually know what standards the admissions office uses and what they care about, we just have anecdotal evidence.
  • Please direct information-sensitive questions to the NYU Admissions Office.
  • NYU's admission rate drops every year, so even the anecdotal evidence we do have may not translate well to this year's applications.

WHO decided to turn off bobst ll2 printer cord after 5-6pm weekends???

5 Upvotes

First of all dont write comments like "oh to be specific its 6pm saturday 5pm sunday"
THATS NOT THE POINT

What a lazy solution to pull out the cord outside of "print service" hours

More than half of the "issues" with the printer is resolvable with literally two clicks (choosing the different paper tray)

Leave the printers on on weekends pls... Let me print!!

NYU Tandon Chemical Engineering PhD

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I'm currently a senior majoring in Biology-Chemistry. I'm interested in applying to Tandon's Chemical Engineering PhD program, particularly the sustainable engineering research area, and ideally want to start right after undergrad.

I have undergraduate research experience in organometallic/inorganic chemistry, including summer research and an ongoing Honors project focused on synthesizing and characterizing ligands for transition-metal coordination.

I'm interested in catalysis, energy, sustainability, and eventually working in industry rather than academia.

I was wondering if anyone currently in the program or familiar with it could share their experience.

I'd appreciate any advice. Thanks!!!

NYU does it offer a Bengali speaking class to cover foreign language credit?

0 Upvotes

Im a current NYC 11th grader and im rlly interested in nyu. I want to know, does it offer a bengali course for students to take that grants credits required for graduation (for foreign language). Its the only language besides English that i am fluent at (native) so taking the class could possibly be easy. I technically am taking my 5th year (final year) of spanish right now and i ngl suck at spanish. Understanding the basics is easy but like congugations and false cognites gets to me a lot. Its like the lowest class grade i got out of all classes. For Bengali im 100% fluent in speaking but 0% good at writing. My parents never taught me how to write since it was both unconvient and they wanted me to know english to do well in american schools.

So does NYU offer that type of class or not?

Advice Q about French placement exam

0 Upvotes

Hi! I am on track to transfer into NYU next fall from a CUNY & my advisor informed me that even though I took FRN 1 & 2 in my current college, I'll have to place well enough on the French proficiency exam in order for all of my language credits to count/transfer. I was wondering if anyone has taken this exam before & if there is anything I should expect? I have quite awhile to study for it & make sure I remember everything from the classes I've already taken but I'm just a bit worried- especially coming from a CUNY, I know NYU courses are more tedious. Any advice or information is much appreciated ^_^ thank you

is Gallatin worth it?

7 Upvotes

I’m thinking about transferring to Gallatin, but is it actually worth it? Or do you end up feeling unprepared and with fewer job opportunities after graduating?

Would it be better for me to pursue a more established degree instead?

What is NYU HEOP application process?

0 Upvotes

What goes on when applying through HEOP since ive heard of it and how its meant to be a mini safety net.

Im low income NYC citizen (for basically whole life) and my gpa is a 94.07 weighted (my school does not list unweighted) and im taking max rigour and my ecs are really lacking (only have a few that i just started this year as a junior). And basically have 0 awards besides constant high tier honor roll which i think isint good for me as average.

I have transportation issues also that contributes to not having much ecs out of my school since basically most of the student sin my school have a Student OMNY Card (student transporation card) for living too far but i sadly live too close so i dont qualify for me and even when i try to appeal it to my school, they reject it including guidence and principle and omny card director. Also my school didnt offer much ecs that are tied to my interested major(s) untill sophomore/junior year so that might add on?

I wanna apply for NYU Tandon for CE as my main choice and CAS for CS and LS as my alternate choices.

I saw online that it involves an interivew which im a lil worried abt doing since im horrible at public speaking and have a somewhat noticeable stutter. I have an IEP so idk if any accomdations exist for the HEOP interview.

Would applying through HEOP be benifital for my situation and how does it really work and if anyone has got accepted through HEOP in NYU please explain me the full process on what to submit, what goes on and any advice that i should do.

Housing Handling false accusations

17 Upvotes

I got into a pretty nasty breakup and someone who ended up in the middle of it said they were going to get me back, and report me for smoking weed in the dorms despite the claim being false. (His intent seemed to be to stress or scare me, as he does not know what I have or do not have in my dorm. He does not even live in NY, let alone attend NYU.)

To my knowledge: this report was made at 2AM on Friday to the NYU ethics and compliance hotline, which then transferred the false reporter to a different line. The reporter said “[my full name] has been smoking weed in her dorm [numerical address, not dorm hall name or room number] since she got there”. I am unsure of anything else that has been said over the phone on that call.

It is now past 6PM on Saturday. No one came to check on Friday. Does anyone have any idea how NYU handles vague complains like this? Should I expect someone to knock on my door, or will they handle this over paper and email? Since there was no active smell, alarm, or personal complaints, apparently the window for checking for an emergency has passed. But I’m not sure what to expect next.

Potential transfer

0 Upvotes

I wanted to hear people’s thoughts on this. I’m an international student starting in Spring doing LSC. I plan on doing something Tech/finance/STEM related. Would it be worth transferring to a better school potentially in the west coast, California side, for example USC, UC Berkeley, UCLA and maybe even Wharton and the other ivies or Georgetown. I dont think my stats would be the best however for the ivies - I got 1420 on the SAT and was waitlisted than got into liberal studies which I didn’t even apply for.

Vent

13 Upvotes

As a junior transfer student who transferred last semester prior to this one. I have to be honest I love NYU but I always wondered what if I went to a state school instead. Last semester has been the best social experience I’ve ever had in my life and the happiest I’ve ever been. But fast forward this semester has nothing but been depressing and lonely no matter how much I try to put myself out there. People do not reciprocate whatsoever it’s beyond exhausting for me to be consistently putting myself out there and receive nothing in return. It is demoralizing and dehumanizing to say the least. Maybe it’s cause I’m different I mean I am neurodivergent after all but I feel like as a guy myself it has been extremely difficult finding people and now I’m questioning every decision I made leading up to transferring here. I’m forever mourning and grieving the college experience the one I could’ve had and wanted. The one with the endless nightlife lifestyle, group of friends and endless adventures. I’ve never had that and accepted I probably won’t. I’m really not sure what is the point of myself writing this but I guess I’m tired and frustrated. I prefer doing this than venting to AI which is something I’ve done consistently (it is embarrassing I know) anyway hope I don’t end up alone on Halloween for the 3rd year in a row for my undergraduate experience.

I don't know if alumni frequent this subreddit, but here goes...

Recently thinking back to my first semester at TSOA, Fall 1987, and the first film production class I took -- Sight & Sound: Film, taught by Carol Dysinger.

Wondering what happened to everyone in that class.

Hard to believe it will be 40 years next September.
